Self hypnosis is a great tool for goal setting and self improvement. Most people are surprised at how easy it is to learn self-hypnosis. And self-hypnosis, in turn, makes a lot of things much easier.

Self hypnosis is usually thought of as a person listening to an audio tape, mp3, or other mass-produced media, intended to induce a willingness to absorb suggestions centered around a specific topic such as weight loss, stop smoking, etc.

Unfortunately, this kind of hypnosis is generally prepared by someone who has never met the person being hypnotized, often presenting unwanted, even unpleasant imagery and suggestions.

For example, if you sunburn easily, that last thing you want to hear about is a slow walk on a sunny beach. In this case, the “self” in self hypnosis simply means that you listen to it by yourself.

So how do you incorporate self improvement into hypnosis?

To be able to go about self improvement, there are certain aspects in you that should be addressed. Using hypnosis, the negative aspects that are serving as hindrances to improvement are eliminated.

A true self hypnosis would necessarily be designed and created by the very person who will ultimately use and benefit from it.

Unlike the mass-produced hypnosis, this hypnosis is made for the exact purpose the person wishes, including the precise words and phrases that mean the most to that particular person.

The true self hypnosis is thus crafted by the person to suit his or her own needs. The benefits derived could only be accomplished with such a personal, one-of-a-kind hypnosis. In this case, the “self” in self hypnosis really does mean that you are hypnotized by yourself!

Below is a short view of the self hypnotic process. Though lots of variations of this method have been used, these are the basic steps you have to go through in order to hypnotize yourself to accomplish self improvement.

1. Position your goals from the most important goal to the less important. If possible, your goals should be measurable.

2. For each goal, you should formulate fitting suggestions which means you have to convert your goals into specific instructions to your subconscious mind on how to achieve each goal.

3. Relaxation. Use the first minutes of your self hypnotic session to get as relaxed as possible. Try to forget all your worries and problems.

4. Start your hypnotic initiation phase by saying and repeating out loud the hypnotic words you have chosen, thinking of these words or listening to a hypnotic tape or CD customized for your hypnotic and goal fulfillment needs.

5. Apply the hypnotic suggestions you have made for reaching the specific goal you work with, say them out loud, think them or use a tailored hypnotic tape or CD.

Before you start up your self hypnotic exercises you should make a time schedule for it. Do your hypnotic sessions every day, five minutes a day is enough. Repeat your suggestions as often as possible during the day.

Measure your progress. Are you closer to your goal now than you were before you started? Ask yourself. If you answer negative to these questions, you have to rethink and reorganize your train of thoughts.

This is the only way you can find out if this method is really helping you in achieving your self improvement goals.

Often when people find out that I am a Hypnotherapist, they will make comments such as “you couldn’t hypnotise me” or “you don’t make people behave like chickens do you?”  Both comments are entirely understandable, but also completely inaccurate.

Firstly, anyone can be hypnotised provided that they want to be.  It is absolutely impossible to hypnotise anyone against their will.  It simply cannot happen.  In fact as a hypnotherapist, I don´t actually hypnotise anyone, I merely help them to hypnotise themselves.

Secondly, it is impossible to make anybody do anything under hypnosis that they don´t want to do.  Stage hypnotists always pick people out of the audience that they consider “up for it” and even then they cannot succeed without the active co-operation of those taking part.

The definition of hypnosis is “A stage of relaxation and heightened awareness”.  It is an entirely natural stage.  After all, we go into hypnosis several times a day all through our lives.  Just before you go to sleep at night, just before you wake up in the morning, you are in a hypnotic trance.  You may have experienced driving and suddenly thinking I don´t remember getting to here, or reading a book and having to re-read a page because you have not taken in what is there, or watching TV and feeling that you have missed some of the plot.  All these are natural hypnotic trances.

So what does it feel like to be in a hypnotic trance?  The short answer is extremely pleasant.  Even the most stressed out person can really relax.  However, you are not asleep and you are acutely aware of everything going on.  More aware than at any other time.

In that really relaxed stage, it is possible to introduce suggestions to the sub-conscious mind and provided those suggestions are acceptable to the recipient, they will be remembered and acted upon.  The sub-conscious is a very important part of us.  It stores all our memories, including ones that we cannot easily access.  It keeps us safe by letting us know what it perceives as danger.  However, the sub-conscious mind cannot make judgements, cannot have opinions and therefore will act upon whatever information it is given, even if that information is incorrect.  (Why would anyone be afraid of spiders for instance when they know they cannot be hurt by anything so small.)  It is a bit like a computer that is running a faulty programme.  With the help of hypnosis, any faulty programme can be corrected and the sub-conscious mind then runs the updated version.

At all times during this procedure, the recipient is completely in control.  You cannot possibly be made to do anything, or say anything that you are not completely comfortable with.  You will only allow into your subconscious what is acceptable to you and although you will be gently brought out of your trance at the end of the session, you could in fact bring yourself out at any time.  It is impossible to be “stuck” in a hypnotic trance, it simply cannot happen.  It would be a little like saying you will never be able to dry your hair if you wash it.

Many conditions can be helped with hypnosis.  It is a pleasant and risk free way to deal with all sorts of problems.  The worst that can happen is that nothing will happen, surely a better option that pill popping, or worse, just putting up with a problem that can be easily dealt with.

Depression, stress, panic attacks, addictions (including smoking), fears and phobias, lack of self esteem, pain control, insomnia, weight control, all can be helped with hypnosis.  It can also be used as a tool to recall childhood events, or even past lives.  I suppose the jury is still out on whether or not any of us have past lives at all.  All I can say is that during my time as a hypnotherapist, I have heard some pretty remarkable accounts of events that could not possibly be put down to imagination.  In fact, there are some therapists who seek the answer to their clients current problems in what may have occurred in a previous life.  I personally do not use it in that way but it is a fascinating journey of exploration for anyone wishing to experience it.

Hypnotherapy is a safe, pleasant and natural treatment that anyone can learn if they are shown how. If you do not wish to visit a hypnotherapist, why not teach yourself… you can help and influence others, and treat yourself!
