Self hypnosis

Self Hypnosis Instructions

Once you have been hypnotized it is a simple process for you to return to that state, since all hypnosis is self hypnosis. Once you leave my office today, the following steps will allow you to gently and easily return to a deep, relaxing state of hypnosis.

It will help you a great deal to practice this process 3-4 times a day for a week or 2, as this will help you to be able to easily enter this state anytime you desire. While the instructions state a time limit of 30 seconds, this can and should be varied at different times depending on your situation or time constraints. If you are entering hypnosis to help yourself go to sleep at night, then you should replace the time with instructions to fall asleep and sleep soundly until it is time to wake up.

Provide yourself the following instructions before you begin:

I am going into deep self-hypnosis, right now, for thirty seconds.

Take 3 deep breaths.

Allow your eyes to close.

Repeat the keyword, purple, 3 times, and you will instantly drift into a deep and relaxing state of hypnosis.

When I feel the time has passed I will count from 1 to 5 and open my eyes, feeling relaxed, refreshed, invigorated and full of energy.

Once you have gone through this process you may want to imagine yourself at the top of a lovely stairway with say, 20 steps, and begin counting backwards as you descend the stairway repeating the words deeper and down after every count. Once you reach the bottom you may repeat the stairway, or focus on any positive suggestions you have in mind for your self hypnosis session.

Going to Sleep at Night
Provide yourself the following instructions before you begin:
I am going into deep self-hypnosis, right now, after which I will drift off into a deep and restful sleep.

Take 3 deep breaths

Allow your eyes to close

Repeat the keyword, purple, 3 times, and you will instantly drift into a deep and relaxing state of hypnosis.

When I have achieved the desired state of hypnosis, I will gently and easily drift from that state into a beautiful, deep and restful state of sleep and remain asleep until it is time to awaken or there is some reason I need to wake up.

After you have gone through this process, you may want to follow the stairway instructions above.
