CAN I ALSO SELF-HYPNOSIS?

Of course you can too! Start by finding a quiet place and making sure you won't be disturbed in the first 15 or 20 minutes (5 minutes later can be enough and can even be in noisy environments). You can sit or lie down, as you prefer. If you lie down, you are more likely to doze off. If you sit down, you may end up in an awkward position. Everyone will have to find their own position there.

How do you go into self-hypnosis?

It does take some practice. Ultimately, any form of working on yourself requires effort. So keep in mind in advance that it will not happen by itself and that you will only get there by practicing very regularly.

There are, of course, ways to make it easier to learn to go into hypnosis training by enlisting the help of a hypnotist or using a purchased audio recording. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using it, but it is not necessary. Below are some ways to teach self hypnosis:

* You do it on your own, possibly with the help of a good book on self-hypnosis.

* You record a hypnosis induction yourself on a sound carrier that you listen to to go into hypnosis.

* You go to a hypnotist or hypnotherapist who will teach you self-hypnosis while you are in hypnosis. In hypnosis you learn much easier and faster. You will also receive guidance and extra practical tips to work with further.

* Using the same method, you buy a recorded text that teaches you to go into self-hypnosis. More than likely you will also be hypnotized with that recording to teach you to go into self-hypnosis.

* You have a post-hypnotic suggestion given by a hypnotherapist, so that you automatically go into hypnosis on a signal given by yourself.

* Once you have already become sufficiently deep into self-hypnosis, you can give yourself a post-hypnotic suggestion, so that you automatically go into hypnosis (faster and easier) on a signal given by yourself.

Any method will work, but each of them will not have the same effect on everyone. So choose one that you feel most comfortable with. The downside of working unsupervised is that you don't really know what hypnosis feels like to you and it's hard to know whether or not you're in hypnosis. For some it is already hard to believe that they are going into hypnosis with heterohypnosis. It is all the more difficult for them to assume that the self-hypnosis is successful.

The floor

Once you are in a trance, you will probably have to go a little deeper to sit properly in the saddle. There are countless deepening techniques. With each floor it is recommended to do this when you exhale, because then you automatically have the feeling that you are going deeper. Here are some examples:

* Probably the most used will be going down a flight of stairs, where you autosuggest that you go deeper into trance or hypnosis with each step. For example, you can count 10 steps and go down slowly each time you exhale. Lazy people can also take an escalator or an elevator, but this can also be done by people who have difficulty walking and cannot imagine going down a flight of stairs.

* Those who want to be a bit more adventurous can make themselves very small and let them slide down through the air on a tree leaf or float with the flow on a stream and regularly go down when there is a difference in level (when exhaling).

* You can also just count down slowly and aloud or silently from, for example, 25 to 1 with again the autosuggestion that you sink deeper with each count. You count each time you exhale.

* People who are more auditory can tap something with their fingernails when counting so that it makes a sound. Due to the auditory attitude, they will respond better.

* In the same way, kinesthetic people can, for example, tap the other hand or the thigh with the finger to be able to apply a better deepening.

* Visualizing a pleasant natural landscape, using as many of your senses as possible (seeing the environment, the sky, clouds... hearing the birds, the sea, the wind, foliage... smelling the fresh air, the sea, the flowers,... feeling the warmth of the sun, the wind, the bottom on which you lie...). Often this method is also used as induction, followed by another deepening technique.

To practice

As mentioned, self-hypnosis is a matter of discipline to practice a lot and regularly. Even with a post-hypnotic suggestion, practice will still be required to go deep enough into self-hypnosis. If you want to achieve good results, you will have to practice 2 to 3 times a day for a week. Make it as easy on yourself as possible and don't start any really suggestive work just yet, except by suggesting that next time you'll go faster, easier, and deeper than ever before. It is best to envision an image that shows how quickly and easily this can be done.
