Self Hypnosis

Self Hypnosis

The idea of self-hypnosis is to put yourself into a relaxed state so that you can get in touch with your subconscious mind to change it in ways to benefit your life. Many books exist on this practice and here are the simple guidelines to follow.

Take a gemstone or crystal and hold this gently in your right or left hand (whichever feels best) as this helps the relaxation process. Remove all distractions or turn them off (telephones etc). Close your eyes and beginning at your feet imagine each part of your body getting heavier and heavier as it relaxes into a state of rest. Do both feet, legs, chest, arms and head, taking as much time as needed until this is accomplished.

Next you, with eyes closed, imagine a completely dark place in your mind, the centre of this is a tiny pinprick of white light. As you watch the white light it grows larger and larger until it is a small white door which you open and go through. You now stand in a room of your own making, add furniture if you wish or just leave it empty. This is where you will go to meditate and act out your new self. You need to spend time here regularly and become the person you want to be. Here you look at your specific problems and act as if they do not exists.

If you have a phobia, see yourself in the room without this phobia, imagine yourself free, then leave the room into an imaginary setting where you can test the phobia out by acting in the way you want. By constantly doing this you will find that in real-life the phobia becomes less and less.
If you want to be rich then fill your room with valuable items and imagine yourself with all the money you want and imagine the detail of all the possessions you want. See them in your mind as if they are already yours. This helps to give your subconscious the belief that you are rich and when out in the real world it will act in this way to draw riches.

You can overcome any problems using this process, as your subconscious cannot tell reality from fiction. All great changes, plans and incidents happen by somebody imagining they are happening until they eventually do happen. Changes do not normally happen overnight, they can take weeks or months. The more you practice this technique, the faster the results. The stronger the detail in your mind of the changes you want, the better the results. It is the relaxed state and the power of the imagination that makes these changes. When you have finished your visualisation (spend at least ten minutes daily) open your eyes and go about your normal business. Try to practice this technique daily if possible and spend as much time as you wish relaxing and imagine.
