There are some that suggest that all hypnosis is self hypnosis. Here is a short relaxation hypnosis you can do by yourself to see how it feels.
Sidney Flower Method of Relaxation
Focus on a spot on the wall slightly above eye level. Take three long deep breaths Count to yourself, starting with the #20, count backwards to the #1 . As you begin counting slowly, close and open your eyes focusing each time on the spot. (do not be concerned with keeping the count in order) At the count of (1) one keep your eyes closed. Suggest to yourself that you feel relaxed and calm After relaxing count forward from one (1) to 5. At the count of 5 you will open your eyes feeling calm and relaxed This relaxation will last 5-6 minutes.
Try this:
Give yourself a suggestion before you come up. Choose from one of these or add your own, you know what you want!
I will be able to concentrate easily on the things I have to do, without being distracted I will remember more of what I read and study My memory will improve everyday. My capacity to recall will improve noticeably every day I will have greater confidence meeting people every day I will find that I have the time to do the things I want to do I will be able to speak more freely and be more assertive I will be more tolerant of people and more understanding I feel energetic every day My body heals faster as I become more vigorous every day I will find that my desire for cigarettes has diminished as cigarettes taste like horse manure The habit of smoking is more disgusting and repulsive to me every hour.
Another form of suggestion is to give your mind a suggestion by a trigger word or action. For example :
I will be able to enter hypnosis the next time I think and imagine the word relax 3 times I will be able to relax easily just by taking a deep breath Inhaling deeply and blowing out will release my tensions like a steam valve blowing off steam Or.. Make up your own suggestions...
