Self hypnosis for relaxation and stress management.

Self hypnosis is a powerful tool to relax and manage everyday stresses.

Remember that self hypnosis is not magic and will not give overnight miracles.

It requires belief and faith, followed with consistent practice until your mind can reach a receptive

trance stage so that you can make suggestions connected to stress management and relaxation.

Importance of relaxation and stress management.

Proper relaxation is crucial for long term happiness and health.

Unresolved stress leads to multiple health problems, including lowered immunity, digestive problems,

chronic pain related complaints and much more.

It is therefore imperative that you should find ways to relax and manage stress.

When you relax, your body responds in the following ways.

All of which are beneficial for long term mental, physical and emotional health.

Your breathing gets deeper and slower.

Your heart rate reduces.

The blood flow to all parts of your body, including your extremities, increases.

Your hormone levels are balanced.

Your metabolism achieves optimal levels.

Here are some pointers to focus on if you want to make a success of self hypnosis therapy.

You must have a deep desire to try self hypnosis.

You should not be excessively skeptical.

It is not an exact science yet.

But many people have tried it and found success.

You should not be afraid of hypnosis.

Remember, no one can control your mind until you allow it.

Don't overanalyze the underlying scientific and technical data.

Keep an open mind and start your self hypnosis journey.

Also, get yourself prepared for the reasons for undergoing self hypnosis.

Write down the messages and suggestions you want to give yourself when you are in the receptive trancelike

state.

What ideas do you want to plant in your subconscious mind?

Create short, powerful statements that you can repeat to yourself when you reach the hypnotic state.

Here are some tips on how to create compelling, suggestive statements for self hypnosis.

The statement has to be honest and genuine.

The success of the self hypnosis technique depends on how deeply and honestly you aspire to do what

you want.

You cannot really implant goals and purposes that you are not very keen on achieving.

Your statement should be a powerful and positive one.

And finally, don't complicate your sentences.

Keep them simple so that it is easy to recall them during the hypnotic trance.

For example, I am feeling relaxed or I am free from stress.

Here are some more examples of persuasive and simple suggestions for relaxation and stress management.

I take deeper and more relaxed breaths than before.

I am at peace with myself.

My thoughts are under my control.

I am happy and comfortable.

I am calm, relaxed and stress free.

I become increasingly relaxed with every breath I take.

Steps for relaxation, self hypnosis.

Use the following steps to create a self hypnotic state and then give yourself stress reduction and

relaxation suggestions.

First, relax your body by sitting in a comfortable position.

You can start by focusing on your breath so that your body and mind begin the relaxation process.

Identify an object to focus your thoughts on.

Typically, this object should be placed on the wall on a slightly higher level than your eye level.

Clear your mind of all thoughts and ideas and focus only on that one object.

This step is going to be the hardest to perfect.

Be ready to practice a lot before achieving some semblance of perfection, of being able to focus only

on the object while clearing your mind of all other thoughts.

Pay attention to your eyelids and imagine them becoming heavy.

Now picture the heavy eyelids closing slowly.

Now, shift your focus to your breath as your eyes close.

Focus on breathing evenly and deeply.

Tell yourself that you are becoming increasingly relaxed with each exhalation.

Slow down your breathing and feel your body relax with every breath.

Imagine an object like a pendulum moving with amazing regularity from one side to another.

Follow the regular emotion of the pendulum in your mind's eye.

Next in your mind.

Count backwards from ten.

Slowly and monotonously after each number.

Say I'm relaxed.

For example.

Ten.

I am relaxed.

Nine.

I am relaxed.

Beit.

I am relaxed.

Seven.

I am relaxed.

And on to one.

Believe in your ability to become relaxed when you complete this exercise.

Repeat this self believing statement in your mind.

When you reach the self hypnotized state, then it is time to focus on the relaxation and stress reducing

statements that you have prepared for yourself.

Focus on each of them.

Repeat them in your mind and remain relaxed and stress free.

When you feel satiated, come out of your hypnotic state after clearing your mind.

Use these steps for this purpose.

Slowly.

Count forward from one to 10.

After each count, give a powerful self suggestion, which could be something like, when I wake up,

I will feel completely relaxed and stress free.

When you reached number 10, you will feel fully awake and completely relaxed.

Gradually allow your conscious mind to catch up with the external surroundings and the events of the

day.

The trick is to repeatedly practice and perfected the art of achieving a self hypnotic state.

The more you practice, the easier it will become for you to quickly and effectively reach the trance

state so that your mind is at its receptive.

Best to receive self suggestions for relaxation and stress management.
