Hypnosis has for long been a mystical term for people. But have you ever wondered what it would be like to hypnotize your own self? This is what the secret world of self-hypnosis is all about.
While for most people self hypnosis is synonymous to quirky & unnatural images of evil men, for numerous others it is a convenient tool for relaxation & stress management. In fact, its thriving popularity across the globe has conjured hundreds to take it up as a healing therapy, more so because it doesn’t require a special hypnotist to conduct the proceedings.
This is basically the process of hypnotizing yourself. Functioning on the lines of meditation, self hypnosis aids in relaxation of your body, recedes your stress hormones & brings in a change of thoughts. It clears your mind of unwanted thoughts to help you have a more focused mind set. In simpler terms, self hypnosis is where you have a relaxed state of body accompanied by an enhanced sense of thought & rationalization.
Though the term sounds like a jargon, self-hypnosis is something that a majority of people experience each day either consciously or unconsciously. Even the people who are intransigent on the belief that they can never be hypnotized might be experiencing a hypnotic trance state innumerable times a day.
One of the most common & remarkable evidences of self hypnosis during routine life is “Daydreaming” when you are transposed into a completely different world without consciously knowing about it. Other identifiable evidences include the varied trance states that one experiences while reading a book, watching television or after awakening from sleep or just before falling asleep. All these are trance states that you encounter without having the slightest conscious knowledge about it. This infers the fact that each one of us is hypnotizable.
However, the above mentioned trance states are just forms of unconscious self-hypnosis. In order to be able to consciously hypnotize yourself, it is important to undergo a professional training. The most interesting thing is that you can use the same techniques for hypnotizing others also with a slight language modification. So, if you can master the art of self hypnosis, you can very well consider the technique of hypnosis half mastered.
While mastering the art of self hypnosis, it is also important for you to learn how to revert into the normal state of consciousness or else you may stuck into the trance state forever.
