Self Hypnosis Step-by-step guide

Place yourself in a comfortable position, preferably in a sitting or semi-reclining position. Close your eyes. Take 3 deep breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth. Take yourself to a place where you feel totally relaxed. See what you would see, hear what you would hear, feel what you would feel etc. to make it as real as possible. Focus your attention at the top of your head, or begin at your feet. Tell your muscles to relax, such as "Scalp, relax. Forehead, relax. Etc." Work your way along your body, feeling and visualizing each muscle group relaxing. Count backwards from 10 to 1, imagining yourself in a situation where you’re going down steps, an elevator, or an escalator. With each count, say "Deeper, deeper, drifting down, down." If you feel especially tense, count yourself down twice. Now imagine your desired goal several times. This may be a visualization, an affirmation or a phrase that relates to your goal. Utilize all the senses, feel all the sensations of your goal as an accomplished fact, in the present, and make sure your wording is positive. End your session when the time is up by counting from 1 to 5, and giving yourself the suggestions that you’ll awaken refreshed, alert, peaceful, and feeling great.Aim to do this on a daily basis. Read through a few times before you attempt it so you know what to do. You can't get stuck so don't worry. If anything interrupts it just count yourself out and then go back to it again by counting yourself back in.
