Self-hypnosis

[Jeff_Mash]

I'm not a hypnotist by anymeans, but all they do is give you "suggestions" which you instinctively respond to.

So what I do during my relaxation stage is that I mentally give myself suggestions.  I mentally tell myself, "Ok, now you're beginning to feel very relaxed.  That's it.  You're beginning to feel yourself melt from your feet up to your head......"

There is no set script that I go by.  There are just general rules of hypnotism (self-suggestion) that you should follow.  Here are some of them:

1) I usually repeat things to myself.  I don't just suggest that I get relaxed and BOOM!  It happens.  I keep reiterating the suggestion over and over until I respond to it.

2) Never give yourself a negative suggestion.  In other words, don't use negative words, like "don't", "no", can't", and things like that.  Keep everything positive.  "You ARE starting to relax."  "You WILL begin to feel numb." etc.

Hope that helps. You should also do a Google search for things like "self hypnosis", "auto suggestion", and "hypnotism" in general.

if you can hit a trance, give the trance a name, and tell yourself that when you say that name in your head you will re enter this state, it seems to work

at least it did for me for a few hours, I went lucid and closed my eyes and kind of reentered the body and said "this is a trance, when I close my eyes, breathe deeply and say something something.. I will quickly reenter this state."

or maybe I told my subconscious to put me back in that state..

at any rate I woke up and tried it.. BAM... instant vibrations... I was very pleased with myself, until it stopped working a few tries later.

I think you might have to be in a semi trance for your subconscious to even pick up on the key word to begin with? I don't know...

maybe I should have repeated myself over and over and given it a better phrase that has nothing to do with "trance" because I'm sure I think "trance" so much when I'm not in a trance that it doesn't associate that word with that feeling.

One problem is though that I can't remember what the phrase was.. it was two words, and the second one was a form of the word trance.

I'd experiment with that if you want, it seemed greatly effective and I'm going to try again, I've tried a few other times but I don't think I was deep enough to make the suggesiton stick.

I also have a self hypnosis script I'm going to try soon.

if you have questions about hypnosis, ask hypnotist41, he knows a lot about hypnosis, and i have talked to him for a long time now.       he knows what he is talking about....whoops, just saw tht you asked hypnotists, but he does know a lot on the subject.

Hi Jonas,
E-mail hypnotist41@aol.com or Astral Pulse
Yes I can help you to achieve a Hypnotic State in a simple yet Advanced technique.

Holy Reality, you have to know at what level of trance your in there is Hypnoidle, Light, Medium, Deep or (theta) which is hypnosis, Esdail State, Canatonic State, and the last is Ultra Depth or Sichort State.

When in a light trance or medium you have to give yourself a suggestions many times for it to go deep into your Subconscious, In a Somanmbulistic state or Deep Somnambuism you can say a suggestion to yourself 1 to 3 times and then doubling or tripleing the suggestion in the mind like the body. Then say the suggestion will go 10 times deeper with each count from 1 to 3 or 1 to 5

Thats like saying the suggestion thousands of times but only saying it just a few times. So here is the Script. Try it and let me now how it went.  Dont rush it just let it happen.

PROGRESSIVE RELAXATION
(supine)

Speak slowly and pause between instructions.  Have your subject(s) lay in a comfortable
Positioin.  It is recommended to have the knees raised up to avoid unnecessary strain of the back muscles.  A small pillow under the neck to help give support to the neck is also beneficial.  Be sure that any tight fitting clothing is loosened and jewelry removed during the relaxation.  Lighting should be lowered and to deaden the sound of outside noises, soft background music complementing your session could be played.  Please do not say "SLEEP" during the progressive.  When bringing the subject(s) up, do not us the word "AWAKE".  (This is a camouflage method of hypnosis).  Remember, to avoid the word hypnosis at all times.  The wording is as follows.

Close your eyes and keep them closed until I ask you to open them.  Now I want you to take a deep breath, filling your lungs up completely and then let that breath out slowly...Now take a second deep breath and let that out slowly also...Now I want you to take another very deep and comfortable breath filling your lungs up completely and this time hold that breath...(long pause)...Now let that breath out very slowly and already you can feel your body begin to relax...

Now let that wonderful, comfortable feeling of relaxation flow ALL the way DOWN to your feet, just feel your feet becoming very comfortable and very relaxed...If you don't feel it in your feet right away don't worry about it, for it will gradually catch up to you...

Now let that wonderful, comfortable feeling of relaxation flow from your feet up into your ankles...from your ankles up all the large and small muscles of your legs to your knees...from your knees up all the large and small muscles of your thighs... into your hips...from your hips into your abdomen and with each and every breath that you exhale I want you to allow your body to go deeper into this wonderful relaxed state...

Now let that wonderful feeling of relaxation flow right up into your back...just let all of those large and small muscles of your neck relax...as it flows right up into your shoulders...over your shoulders...and down deep into your chest...such a wonderful feeling, just going DEEPER and DEEPER...as that relaxation flows down all the large and small muscles of your arms to your elbows...from your elbows down to your wrists...into your hands...all the way out to your fingers and with each and every breath that you exhale your body just keeps right on relaxing deeper and deeper...


Now let this wonderful feeling of relaxation flow up into your neck...feel all these large and small muscles of your neck relaxing...flowing right up into your head ...over your head...and DOWN into your brow...all the muscles around your eyes, relax...Now if you have your teeth clenched, just unclench your teeth and your body will relax much more...just let your jaw sag and all the body muscles will go loose and limp as a RAG DOLL as you go deeper into this wonderful relaxed state...

As I count from one down to three I want you to allow your body to go deeper into this beautiful relaxed state...so one...deeper and deeper...two...more and more relaxed...three...very deep, very comfortable and very relaxed...with just pleasant, contented thoughts going through your mind and marvelous feeling going through your body, and your whole body is giving in, letting go...you're warm and comfortable...relaxing deeper as all the sounds around you send you deeper...any sound that you hear sends you even deeper...the sound of my voice sends you deeper...

So, as I keep on talking you just keep on relaxing deeper and deeper into this wonderful relaxed state...with each breath that you exhale, you go deeper...the beat of your heart sends you deeper...any and all sensations that you experience send you deeper...with each thought that you think you go deeper and deeper...DOWN into a wonderful deep relaxed state...just feel your muscles loose and limp as a RAG DOLL...

Now again I will count, but this time I will count from one down to five and as I count form one down to five you will allow your body to double its relaxation...So one...your relaxation is slowly starting to double...two...your relaxation is doubling more and more...three...you're very comfortable and relaxed...four your relaxation has almost doubled...five your relaxation now has doubled completely thoughout your whole body...from the top of your head to the tip of your toes all the muscles in your body have relaxed and doubled their relaxation...you feel so relaxed and comfortable that all of your muscles are going loose and limp as a RAG DOLL...

Now again I will count from one down to five...and as I count...from one down to five...this time the body will triple its relaxation...one...relaxation is starting to triple...two...relaxation is tripling more and more...three...you are very comfortable...very relaxed...four...relaxation now has almost triple in the body...five...relaxation now has tripled in the body...from the top of your head to the tips of your toes...all the muscles have relaxed...doubled their relaxation...and tripled their relaxation...

All the muscles are loose and limp as a RAG DOLL ... all the nerves are calm ... relaxed ... all the body tissues are rejuvenating in this wonderful relaxed state ... just sinking DOWN ... just letting go ... deeper and deeper into relaxation ...


Now again I will count ... but this time from one down to ten ... and this time as I count from one down to ten ... your mind will relax as your body is relaxed ... and with every count your body will double the relaxation it has at that time ... one ...your mind is relaxed as the body is relaxed and the body is doubling the relaxation it has at this time ... two ... your mind is relaxed as the body is relaxed and the body is doubling the relaxation it has at this time ... three ... the mind is relaxed as the body is relaxed and the body is doubling the relaxation it has at this time ... four ...
samething ...five ... keep right on going ... six ... seven ... eight ... nine ...ten ...
your mind is completely relaxed as the body is relaxed and the body has doubled its relaxation many times over ...

You don't care what day it is ... you don't care what time it is ... you don't care about anything but how good you feel ... how wonderful you feel ... going deeper and deeper relaxed ...

Now I want you to go even deeper ... still deeper ... so this time double the relaxation you have in the body right now ... and when this is doubled I want you
to try to say "A" ...it only takes a few seconds ...you feel so good, so comfortable, so relaxed ... you don't even feel like saying "A" ...but now I want you to go deeper yet ... still deeper ... and when it is doubled ... try to say "B" ... again you feel so good, so comfortable, so relaxed ... that you don't even feel like saying "B" ... but now I want you to really let yourself go ... just as though you were on a spiral sliding board ... just sliding on DOWN to the basement of relaxation ... so again double the relaxation you have in your body at this time ...and when it is doubled then try to say "C" ... again you feel so good, so comfortable, so relaxed that you don't even feel like saying "C"...

So jusk keep on sinking DOWN deeper and deeper ... as I keep on talking the body just keeps right on sinking DOWN ... deeper and deeper ... into a wonderful...deep state of relaxation ... where the mind is passive ... and you feel wonderful ... where your arms are heavy ... where your legs are heavy ...very heavy ...very comfortable ... heavy feeling ... the arms and legs are so heavy, so comfortable, so relaxed that when I ask you to lift an arm or leg ...you'd find that they are so comfortable, so heavy, so relaxed that you don't feel like lifting them ... but nevertheless I want you to try to lift your left leg ...O.K. stop trying ... let it relax it feels so much better resting where it is ... it's so comfortable and you feel so good, so wonderful and so relaxed...

You find that from now on your self-confidence is building up stronger in every way
... you feel so good, so comfortable and so relaxed ... you find now that you will only think positively ... and by thinking positively you will be able to work your way through challenges that life may bring ... you find that now you will have a feeling of concern for each challenge you encounter ... and by being concerned you will have clear thinking and good judgment ... you will be able to accomplish so much more than ever before ... just going deeper and deeper relaxed ... very deep, very comfortable, and very relaxed ...

All the muscles are loose ... limp ... as a RAG DOLL ... all of the nerves are calm
... relaxed ... the mind passive ... clear ... now you find that you have complete control of all the nerves in the body ... complete control of the whole nervous system ... you will remain calm and confident at all times ... your blood flows freely throughout your body carrying fresh new oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body ... to every minute part of you ... as you go deeper into this relaxed state  
... and because you have complete control of all the nerves that are in your body, your body, your blood pressure will remain normal ...

You find that when you go to bed at night and there is nothing else you want to do ... you will close your eyes and immediately go right to sleep ... you'll sleep in a wonderful, deep, comfortable, relaxed sleep where nothing or no one will disturb you unless it is an emergency ... if an emergency arises, you'll be physically and mentally alert ... wide awake ... able to take care of the emergency and then go back to bed and immediately go to sleep ... waking up the next morning at the time you desire ... with an alert feeling, an ambitious feeling, a wonderful feeling ... for the body will be rejuvenated, refreshed, satisfied, and contented in every way ...you will wake up feeling as though you've been up for hours ... feeling so alert ... with so much ambition ... feeling good and wonderful in every way ...

This will happen every day and every night ... and this wonderful good feeling will stay with you every day ... at all times ... deeper and deeper relaxed ... very deep ... very comfortable ... very relaxed ... such a wonderful ...comfortable ... feeling ...so loose ... so RELAXED ...you find that any time I say the words "DEEPLY RELAX" to you ... immediately you will close your eyes and spontaneously go right back into this wonderful, deep, comfortable state of relaxation ... always enjoying it more and more ...

Always going deeper each time I work with you ... and every time I give you these positive suggestions, they will go deep into your subconscious mind ... they will be there when you need them ... every time I work with you it will reinforce all suggestions I have given to you before ... every day in every way you will be better and better, wiser and wise, happier and happier, healthier and healthier, feeling marvelous thoughout the day ...

Now I want you to pay attention to my voice and what I am going to teach you ... for I am ging to teach you to put yourself in this same state that you are in now, and this is how you will do it ...

         

                               First ... make sure you are comfortable and safe ...

                                            Then ...set a time limit in you mind ...

                                                     Then ... close your eyes ...

Once your eyes are closed  ... take a deep breath and think 'RELAX', as you are letting your breath out ...

Then ... take another deep breath and think 'DEEPER' as you exhale ...

Then ... take another deep breath, and hold it for a moment ...Then as you let that breath out, think 'DEEPLY RELAX', .... already you can feel your body starting to relax ... DEEPER and DEEPER RELAXED ...

You will remain in this relaxed state for the amount of time you have set aside ... when that time has expired you will find yourself coming up and your eyes will automatically open ... you will feel refreshed, rejuvenated, wonderful and fine in every way, and all my suggestions tht I have ever given you ...That are beneficial to and positive to you will automatically be reinforced ... you will let this happen automatically and spontaneously ... going DEEPER and DEEPER RELAXED ... you will have good feelings and good thoughts at all times ...

AT THIS TIME POSITIVE VISUALIZATIONS
BRING YOUR SUBJECT(S) UP WITH THE FOLLOWING WORDING

On the count of one I will have you open your eyes ... on your own time ... you will be alert ... both mentally and physically ... you'll be rejuvenated ... you'll be happy, content and satisfied ... feeling marvelous in every way ... so, five ... gradually, slowly start comeing up ... four ... coming up more and more ... three, coming up alert and refreshed ... two ... almost all the way up ... one ... on your own time, eyes open, all the way up, feeling wonderful and fine in every way!

Hey hypnotist! Nice to see that you are also writing here []

Haven't yet been able to use the script you sent me in the email because when I tried to record it via a very bad microphone, so my
voice sounded very bad on more stressing than relaxing [xx(]

[hypnotist]

Hi Mystic Cloud,

You can have someone that you feel comfortable with to read it to you while you lay back with your eyes closed.

Hear from you soon.

I would like to say thank you as well to Hypnotist for the script.  I will be trying this as well.

[Aries]

That script is really long.. about how long should you take to read it all?
-Aries

[hypnotist]

Hi Aries,

Its only 5 pages long but it seems longer on this post.  When I went to school for the class a few years ago I thought it was long also.  But as I read it, it didn't seem that long.

And it depends on the person reading it but for me I would read it in about 45 minutes to an hour.  Because as you read you will notice three dots in the sentences and paragraphs, ( ... ) There in there for a purpose, as the reader comes to the 3 dots he or she has to pause for 4 slow seconds, then continue to read.  This give the Subconscious time to aborb the information, suggestion, ext. to go deeper into the Subconscious mind.

Sincerely,
Frank (hypnotist)

I would like everyone who knows a good technique for self-hypnosis to tell me all about it. The goal is of course deep, deep physical relaxation.
I would like a simple technique of tricking the mind to let go of all physical tensions whatsoever.
Maybe you, Hypnotist, who dwell in this forum, might know a suitable technique?

Grateful for answers /Jonas
