You can use self hypnosis to help you across a range of different areas. We’ve already talked briefly about how many people use it, but how can that apply to you?
Hypnosis isn’t for everyone. If you have always felt very nervous about trying it or are convinced it’s all a waste of time, it’s not going to be very effective. Some people find it hard to become relaxed enough to get to a stage where they are taken deep enough into a quiet state.
If that could be you, then before you even start self hypnosis practice having moments of peace and quiet. Perhaps go on a walk every day without putting on your mp3 player or taking a cell phone or a friend and enjoying the thoughts in your head stop, or try to spend five to ten minutes a day doing nothing but sit quietly. If that is a struggle, relaxing for a self hypnosis session may prove difficult.
Once that quiet space feels a little easier to get to you can progress to a positive self hypnosis session. For the new ideas to become well embedded inside your mind, the deeper your level of relaxation the better.
If you have a full chaotic life, consider if you have the time to put into it. Regular sessions are better than one or two every now and again.
If that all sounds a little off putting it doesn’t need to be. You’ll know when you are ready. If you start and it feels all too stressful take a week or so to break then try again.
However, there is one important factor in meeting up with difficulties. Our mind and our bodies like everything to stay the same. The old saying “creatures of habit” is one that perfectly describes all of us. We will do almost anything to stay the same even if the “same” isn’t what is best for us. It’s one of the reasons so many diets fail. Make big changes all at once and your body starts to protest. It gets scared that it is starting to make changes too fast and won’t be able to cope with it.
So if you begin a course of self hypnosis and find you meet up with a few speed bumps- don’t worry. All it really is your body and mind readjusting themselves to the new information. The only reason you should stop is if it is leading you into damaging behaviour or making matters worse for more than a few days.
One of pluses of self hypnosis is it is something you can do no matter your current physical state. Whereas yoga and tai chi can also help you move into a relaxed state, there can be times in your life where that type of movement is not either practical or possible.
The vast majority of people find that the whole journey to new thoughts and actions is pleasantly gentle, encouraging and well worth it. If you want to give it a try, then do, and find out if it suits your needs, your lifestyle and your goals.
