Hypnosis is not sleep, but a heightened state of consciousness similar to daytime sleep. In 1775, Franz Mesmer developed healing by animal magnetism, which was later renamed hypnosis. Hypnosis is a state of mind that has been experienced by everyone at one time or another. In fact, everyone goes into hypnosis every day of their lives. The moment you are daydreaming you are in a form of hypnosis. The ability to achieve the hypnotic state is already within us. It is simply a matter of unlocking the secret.
When you are hypnotized, your left brain goes to sleep and your right brain opens up to receive useful and beneficial suggestions. Hypnosis is not mind control or sleep. You cannot control someone’s mind with the use of hypnosis. A hypnotized person still thinks logically, can make decisions. The hypnotized person does not completely lose contact with reality. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. To enter hypnosis you must believe, focus, concentrate and participate fully. You must direct your 100% attention to the process and your ‘willingness’ to cooperate.
To learn self-hypnosis takes only a few minutes. If the technique is taught correctly, learning is quick and easy because everything related to hypnosis is fascinating. Any ordinary person can be taught to hypnotize or be hypnotized. There is a big difference between hypnosis and meditation. Hypnosis can help resolve unconscious problems that arise from the past. People learn hypnosis to achieve relaxation, relief from pain, anger, anxiety, panic, fear, and obsessive thoughts, while meditation helps you achieve relaxation and inner peace of mind.
By learning self-hypnosis, you can increase your self-awareness, inner harmony, positive thinking, love, and compassion. You can relax and concentrate better. It is the best medicine to heal your interior.
Exercise:
Sit comfortably in a chair. The light must be dim, fix your gaze at some point. Look at the place until you close your eyes. Tell yourself that my eyes are getting heavier and heavier. Now they get so heavy and want to close. With each breath I inhale, my eyelids grow heavier and heavier. I’m becoming very loose and relaxed. As I relax and relax, my eyes get heavier and heavier and just want to close. I am becoming more and more relaxed and all I want to do is sleep and relax. Keep repeating this until your eyes are closed. Now start from the bottom of your feet to the top of your head and relax every part of your body. As you relax, say that I am becoming more and more relaxed and that I am going to sleep more and more deeply. Continue for 10 minutes. You can also use classical music in the background.
Once the whole process is finished. Tell yourself I am going to count from 10 to 1. As I count from 10 to 1, with each number my sleep will become lighter and by the time I reach 1, I will be wide awake. And when I wake up I will feel completely relaxed. Do this for 10 minutes before you get up and for 10 minutes before you go to bed.
