Using self hypnosis techniques you can teach your body to relax and manage stress a little better. Most people do not need a hypnotherapist to learn how to perform self hypnosis. It can be an important tool to use when the kids stress you out, the boss overloads you with work, or your spouse is acting unreasonably.
Meditation and self hypnosis are somewhat alike in technique. You must relax the body which makes the hormones that cause stress weaken and you must concentrate on other things besides what is bothering you. In self hypnosis you create affirmation statements that will help you fight that problem and find solutions. Affirmations will also give you self confidence to help you be successful.
Affirmation statements should be very positive declarations that will make your life and the lives of those around you better. You can just have one affirmation statement or maybe you would like to try more than one. They need to remain positive in nature. Always pick and memorize your affirmations before you try to go into a self hypnosis trance.
The next thing that must be done is to decide where your will perform self hypnosis; a place that is cozy and you will not be bothered by others. You must relax your body next and an easy way is to make a part of the body tense for a moment then relax it. Raise a leg and clench the muscles to make it tense up then relax and allow the leg to become loose. Continue with the hip, the muscles of the stomach, the feet and so on. Keep going until your whole body is loose and comfortable. As you relax each body part recite what you are doing like I am relaxing my arm. Affirm that you are relaxing each body part as you do it. Now add in some of your memorized affirmations concerning the problem you are having. Mix those memorized affirmations with the statements you are making about relaxing.
Keep sessions to 15 or 20 minutes long. Sessions can go longer but when you are just starting out with self hypnosis your likely to fall asleep. Set a timer for 20 minutes to make sure you do not fall asleep.
You can get recorded affirmations if you are having trouble making your own. There are CD's out there to purchase or MP3 recordings to download. When it is time for bed just turn them on before you go to sleep. You can find recorded affirmations on just about any subject including stress.
Self Hypnosis allows you to set goals and prepare what you wish to achieve prior to the session. Your mind knows what these goals and objectives are which makes them all the more real when you perform a session. Suggestions must go to the conscious mind first then they are processed to the subconscious mind. The subconscious takes over when you are relaxed or about to go to sleep and the subconscious mind can not differentiate between what is real or fantasy. If you can by pass the conscious mind the subconscious will take an affirmation and make it real in your mind. So if you state that you will no longer crave chocolate your subconscious may prevent you from wanting chocolate. You may find yourself snaking a little healthier and not even realize you are doing it.
