Self-Hypnosis

This technique is to be practised daily for five to ten minutes. The need to practise must be emphasised in order to obtain permanent results.

Whenever you wish to go into a state of self-hypnosis, make yourself as comfortable as possible and close your eyes.

Take a few deep breaths. Make them deep enough so that you can feel both your chest and stomach rise as you breathe in, and fall as you breathe out. This should be done at a level comfortable for you.

As you breathe in relaxation, see if you can give it a colour. This is optional — it is equally acceptable simply to feel more relaxed.

As you breathe out tension, you may see a colour or something that your mind links with tension leaving your body, or you may simply feel the tension leaving.

If you see a colour that your mind links with relaxation coming in, see if you can bring it down through the muscles of your body, as this will help them relax even more.
