One does not actually need a psychotherapist or a professional hypnotherapist to be in a state of hypnosis. Some may say that hypnosis actually happens in our everyday lives without us being aware that we are being hypnotized. Trivial things like reading a good book, floating in a daydream, getting on the process of sleeping, being entranced in watching a movie, and other things that require attention and relaxation are already a form of hypnotism.
There are many self hypnosis techniques that we could use to get ourselves accomplish something by implanting whatever it is in our subconscious minds.
The Common Hypnosis Phases
When using a self hypnosis technique, there are five common hypnosis phases that one goes through during the process. First is the preparation wherein the subject gets into a comfortable position and the next is the induction where the subject was to be taken to a state of enhanced relaxation from normal awareness. After which, the deepening phase takes place where the conscious thinking of the subject is minimized. The following is the purpose phase wherein the subject is being told what to feel, think, or do. On a common self hypnosis technique, picturing an image and telling yourself what to feel, think, or do could be done on this phase. Lastly, the awakening phase is where the subject is being taken out of the hypnotic state and becomes fully aware of his or her surroundings.
If the purpose of the hypnosis is to improve insomnia, then the subject is encouraged to sleep and skip the phase of awakening. Otherwise, the subject would be brought back to the state of full awareness.
Self Hypnosis Technique By Betty Erickson
Betty Erickson is the wife of the late Dr. Milton Erickson, who is one of the towering figures in hypnotherapy. Betty Erickson’s self hypnosis technique is easy to implement and could be used for self meditation or meditative exercise. The steps involving this self hypnosis technique first starts at getting yourself comfortable. It is important that you relax and breathe deeply. Then, state your goal or your objective and tell yourself, “I am going in a state of trance for the purpose of…” This process will already make adjustments to your unconscious mind so that your purpose would come in naturally and less complicated. After that, determine how you want to feel after the self hypnosis technique has been done and tell it to yourself. Phrases like, “In fifteen minutes, I am going to…”, would help condition your mind to achieve what you want to do, feel, and think. Then, induction takes place wherein you are supposed to take notice of the things around you and how you are feeling. You should minimize the sensations to one kinesthetic, one auditory, and one visual. Lastly, close your eyes and picture something, imagine a sound, and then imagine a feeling. Repeat the process with two then three pictures, sounds, and feelings. Whenever you feel that you are ready to go out of trance, allow yourself to wake up from the state of hypnotism.
