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.

Self-healing

Self-healing is perhaps a less well-known use of hypnosis and is sometimes linked in people’s minds with faith healing. It differs from faith healing in that people themselves, through self-hypnosis, deal with disease or disorder through positive suggestions and creative imagery.

Faith healing is a passive process in which the person submits to the will of the healer and allows healing to occur. This can work, just as self-hypnosis can work, but in either case not for everyone.

There has been a great deal of research into the use of hypnosis in healing, and hypnosis has been shown to be very effective. A hypnotherapist will usually guide the person through the procedures until they feel confident enough to practise self-hypnosis. Self-hypnosis for relaxation and focus can be particularly effective.
