A Quick Exercise in Self Hypnosis
Read the exercise through first, then practise it.
1) Close your eyes and think about a time when you felt very relaxed
or comfortable. You may have been on holiday or with friends or
excited at learning something new. Really conjure the feelings of
that time up in your mind. Remember or imagine the way the hands
felt and notice the way they feel now. It may have been a very amusing
time when you and others were laughing a great deal. Notice what
it’s like to recapture something of that feeling.
2) Now, as you begin to re-experience something of these feelings
again, bring your thumb and finger together and let these feelings
become more powerful. Take your time whilst doing this.
3) Next, with thumb and finger firmly together, think of a time
in the future where having these comfortable and enjoyable feelings
will change the very nature of that future experience for you.
4) Within your mind drift into that situation with thumb and finger
together noticing what it’s like to be there but with these comfortable
feelings. Notice all the things that are different in this situation
now that you are different within it.
If you’ve done this then well done! You’ve already started to use
self-hypnosis to forge new unconscious associations. If you didn’t
manage to experience this or would like to experience it more strongly
then you might want to take a look at our Self Hypnosis CD or
Hypnosis DVD.
