There has been a lot of discussion about self hypnosis recently. Before we get into what it can and can't do for us, let's talk about what self hypnosis is.

If you have been to a hypnotist, they may tell you that all hypnosis is self-hypnotic. This is basically correct. This means that without your consent or cooperation, no one can get you into hypnosis. The media and stage hypnotists have made us believe that hypnosis is an unnatural state that can be imposed on us by people with mental control.

Nothing will be far from the truth. Hypnosis is a natural state of mind, and we enter several times a day. Whenever your attention is so concentrated that you don't know what's going on around you, you are in hypnosis. Whether watching TV or reading a book or playing, whenever we walk in and enter our minds, where our focus is, we are all hypnotized.

There are other times when we enter mild hypnosis. For example, when we were called into the office, we were in a highly advised state. When we meet a large number of people in concerts or other events, we are in a state of slight hypnosis. These are just a few examples of hypnosis in our daily lives.

From these examples we can conclude that hypnosis is a state of mind, we focus on what happens in front of us, or that we are so focused on the things that are placed before us that we lose our knowledge of all other things. This is a state we can hint at, which means we can internalize the information and make it part of our reality or belief system. An example of this is when we watch a movie and finally cry. Although these incidents did not happen to us, we are so invested that the emotions we experience are just like those that happen to us.

Of course, when we talk about self-hypnosis in the sense of treatment, we are not talking about these experiences. We are talking about a conscious process in which we move our attention away from the current environment and put ourselves in a state of change for a specific purpose.

So how do we do self hypnosis?

There are many ways to do self hypnosis because of someone, but in this article I will describe a simple but effective way that anyone can do.

The first thing you have to do is find a quiet place and you won't be bothered. Give yourself an hour and a half. Turn off your phone and keep the children quiet, and entertain yourself during this time. However, in an emergency, know that you are easily awakened and return to normal waking awareness without difficulty.

Whether you are sitting or lying down, you will feel comfortable. If you like, you can play soft music in the background. There are several recordings of meditation music that are ideal for self hypnosis. Some people use music to let them relax more deeply.

Focus on your breathing now. Pay attention to the breathing in and out of the nose. Feel the air coming into your body. Watch your belly rise and fall. Usually breathing exercises are accompanied by the idea of ​​“relaxing relaxation and calmness, breathing our tension and stress”.

You can also relax and enjoy the peace and calm. Imagine the muscles around your eyes begin to relax and walk. Then bring this feeling to your head. Feel the head, face and neck all muscles completely relaxed. Use this technique to keep relaxing and calming along your entire body.

Use “getting deeper and deeper” in your mind, “all the way down”, “calm and peaceful relaxation”, etc., when you breathe and feel all the tension of the muscles.

Countdown is another great way to get yourself more relaxed. "10 drops, … 9 is twice as relaxed as before, … 8 is still falling… and so on"

You may start to feel like a floating or stinging or numb body feeling. You may notice changes in temperature, whether it is heating or cooling. Everyone has a unique experience when entering hypnosis. Pay attention to your senses and see how you will experience hypnosis.

At this point, many people will ask, “What is the difference between self hypnosis and meditation?”

Meditation is a practice of clearing the mind. Hypnosis is similar, you can relax and pay attention to your breathing, but this is the end of similarities. Hypnosis has a specific intent, so don't be clear that your mind is particularly active, although it is different from your normal state of consciousness.

You will have an intention to enter hypnosis. For example, if the reason you use hypnosis is to relieve stress, you may have the intention of "I am calm and relaxed all day." I feel nervous from my fingers and toes slipping. "You may repeat these times and actually imagine or imagine the tension that leaves your body through your fingers and toes. It may look like static or you may see angry gnomes coming out of the ends of your feet.

Imagination plays an important role in hypnosis. Visualizing or imagining the results you want helps to embed ideas into your subconscious mind. Once this idea appears in your subconscious, it becomes part of your daily life.

The subconscious does not know the difference between reality and imagination. When you imagine or imagine enough things, your subconscious will incorporate it into your life. When you enter self-hypnosis and repeat this intent for your particular purpose, it becomes part of you.

When you are in hypnosis, you will notice that you have a supervisor. This is part of your mind and always keeps control. This is part of your repeated intent. It will also take you out of hypnosis at the appointed time.

From hypnosis, I said to myself: "I will count from one to five to five now. I will open my eyes and restore my normal sense of waking." Now count… "One, take your time." ….. two, feeling refreshed, energetic, energetic… Third, feeling my body back to the room… Fourth, remember every benefit I said The thing today is my subconscious… Five, always up, squinting."

Stretch and spend some time back to normal consciousness. Remember, when you give yourself a suggestion, repeat it a few times and really let it enter your mind. This is called compounding. The more you say, the more it is, the better it is. It may take a few, days or weeks to see the changes in your life, but if you follow the instructions, they will appear.

Now I can hear you ask, "If I can do it myself, why should I go to a hypnotist?"

good question. This is the answer:

The title of this article is "The Benefits and Limitations of Self Hypnosis." The word hypnosis and hypnotism therapist is very different. One is mentality and the other is treatment.

You can do a lot of good things through self hypnosis. If you want, you can lower your blood pressure. You can relieve stress or improve your sleep pattern. You can improve your study habits. Self hypnosis can do a lot of things. But one very important thing is that you can't do self-hypnosis, that is treatment.

The difference between a hypnotist and a hypnotherapist is treatment. Hypnotherapists use treatment tools while customers are hypnotized to change their lives. Hypnotherapy is a collaboration between hypnotherapists and clients. Hypnotized people cannot ask questions and dig deeper and use the necessary tools to find the root cause of the problem or to interact with the inner child in a therapeutic manner. For these effects, it is necessary for hypnotherapists to use them.

Self hypnosis is very beneficial for decompression and other related problems. To get a therapeutic experience, hypnotists must work with patients to solve the root cause of the problem and find a solution.

When looking for a hypnotherapist, find someone who is in touch with you to feel comfortable. Make sure they have been trained to get the job done. If possible, check your credentials. Hypnotherapy is not regulated by any government agency, so anyone can hang a piece of wood and call himself a hypnotist. Make sure that the people you work with are properly trained and professional in business practice. It's best to take the time to choose the right hypnotherapist instead of discovering that you made a mistake afterwards.

Start with self-hypnosis, feel what it is, what it can do for you, and then find the right hypnotherapist for you.
