Similar to the “relaxation response” that drives meditation, self hypnosis assists you to calm down your mind, body and soul by minimizing stress hormones that frequently distract your mind with uncomfortable thoughts. Hypnotherapy uses affirmations to handle stress and anxiety and build self-confidence through thinking positively to counter negative thoughts and feelings.
When you are hypnotized, you're in a trance-like state where you have increased focus, concentration as well as inner absorption. Whilst in this state, you mostly feel calm and relaxed whereby you will be able to concentrate intensely on a certain thought, memory, feeling or emotion while blocking out distractions. Consequently, when you’re under hypnosis, you would be more receptive to suggestions, which means your ideas, habits, sensations and emotions might be improved.
Hypnotherapy will assist you to gain control over undesirable behaviors or emotions and thoughts, and in addition assist you to manage a range of health concerns such as:
- Weight loss
- Skin conditions
- Coping with chemotherapy
- Mental health conditions
- Quitting smoking
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Reducing stress related to medical procedures
- Athletic performance
- Dental procedures
- Asthma
Next, find a comfy and quiet spot. Take a seat and relax your body. To achieve this, close your eyes and envision waves of relaxation flowing down your body from your head downwards, washing away stress and anxiety.
Once you are feeling relaxed, the next stage is to deepen the state of relaxation. This can be achieved by suggesting to yourself, “I am feeling relaxed and comfortable. With each breath I am becoming more relaxed and more comfortable". You can also employ the approach of suggesting sleepiness, “I am tired and sleepy. I can feel the heaviness in my arms and legs. I am more and more tired”. When you feel completely relaxed, employ the positive affirmations that you have thought of prior, together with the relaxation suggestions.
