What You Should Know About Self Hypnosis

Self hypnosis is a skill that can be learned by anyone but it is best to be taught by a fully qualified therapist. You may decide that a course of hypnotherapy will help your allergies, and at the end of the treatment the therapist may teach you self hypnosis to reinforce the suggestions he or she has made during the session. These techniques are similar to those of auto suggestion and visualization, in which you imagine you are getting better and better every day.

Some people are frightened they will lose control, become stuck in a hypnotic state, and start exhibiting bizarre behavior or be unable to respond to an emergency, such as fire. But these are myths. Throughout hypnosis, whether you are hypnotizing yourself, or whether you consult a therapist, you will remain in control and can come out of the hypnotic state at will.

Far from being out of control, hypnotizing yourself is an advanced form of self control, for you will be playing two roles, the hypnotist and the hypnotized. Lie down in a comfortable place, either on a sofa or the floor and breathe evenly, slowly becoming more relaxed. Imagine yourself walking down a long staircase or a tree lined avenue, counting as you do so, with each step you take, you will go deeper and deeper into a trancelike state.

Enjoy your relaxed state and repeat to yourself key statements, depending on your allergy. These auto suggestions can be accompanied by an image. If, for instance, your skin is hot and itchy, you could visualize yourself rolling in cool, wet grass. Intersperse these specific suggestions with positive thoughts, such as I feel full of health or every day, my symptoms are getting better and better.
