Self Hypnosis
Please note: The following information is intended
as a guide to those who have experienced the self hypnosis, as taught
by me, at any of the workshops, demonstrations, and functions attended
over previous years.
Following these instructions alone is not expected to invoke as
deep a feeling of relaxation unless previously experienced in a
'controlled' environment where direct feedback can be made and suitable
guidance can be given when necessary. Although for all those of
you who have already experienced this state through other methods
(such as through meditation, hypnotherapy, visualisations or other
such relaxation exercises), you may well find this particularly
useful as another method for rapid induction.

How to do the rapid induction in
your own time:
Although Self Hypnosis can be done anywhere (not while actively
driving or operating heavy machinery etc.) it is best done
away from interruptions.
- Begin by placing both feet flat on the floor.
- Sit yourself upright in your chair, and rest both palms
on your thighs.
- Take a few very slow, deep breaths, and allow the body
to begin to calm.
- Gently allow your arm to lift to a position above your
head, palm facing downwards.
- Imagining the hand is supported by a string, which soon
very slowly lowers the hand down, and past your eyes.
- (You may wish to use a count, from 5-4-3-2-1, counting
back very slowly, in time with the dropping of your hand,
reaching one just before your hand drops to your lap.)
- As the hand lowers, and becomes heavier and heavier,
you find that your breath can be allowed to slow and deepen
further.
- In doing so, the eyes begin to close, as the eyelids
too become heavier, the hand still dropping slowly to your
lap.
- You may find your head beginning to droop
- Your breath, calm, slow, and relaxed.
- As your hand falls to your lap, you may also feel an
additional wave of relaxation wash through you.
Once reached, you can stay in this state for as long as you
wish, seconds, minutes or all night.
You can also give yourself small 'commands' on how you wish
to be when you return to a 'full state' (ie. ready to go to
sleep - calm but fresh and awake - positive and confident
- receptive to new thoughts - etc.). Just make the chosen
statements to yourself as you begin the relaxation.
| I am now going to relax for ___ minutes,
and when I return, I will _____________________ 5 - 4
- 3 - 2 - 1 |
To return to the 'fully awakened state', merely reverse the
process, your hand being lifted by a cushion full of air,
rising upwards and lifting your hand to above your head reversing
the count from 1-2-3-4-5. Returning, fresh and wide awake
(as required)
To go deeper once in the state, just repeat the count, slowly
and gently backwards from 5-4-3-2-1, repeating multiple times
as required.
The more you practise this technique, the quicker and easier
it becomes. You should use this technique at least every day!
