Self-hypnosis is a technique designed to allow patients to continue therapy in an independent manner, entering in a state of hypnosis due to his or her own suggestions. In our daily lives, we pass through different states of auto-hypnotic consciousness, of meditation or intense concentration, or on the contrary, the total lack of attention.

You can sit in an armchair or lie on a bed, but it is important to feel comfortably during self-hypnosis.

Step 1. Sitting, keep your head straight and look in the distance in front of you. Your body must be in a relaxed position. If you are stretched, your head must lie in a comfortable position; you must feel comfortable, without any tension in your neck area. Look above yourself in the ceiling, but without a specific location.

Step 2. Keep your head in a comfortable position and turn your eyes (upwards, as if you look from inside to a target set opposite your brow). You should not make considerable effort, it is important to feel comfortable. Your eyes movements, which are also performed during your sleep, usually go hand in hand with a hypnosis relaxation of the eyelids felt like being increasingly heavy.

Step 3. Continue to look back and up and now, close your eyes slowly (feel that you are about to leave your eyelids fall, without any tension or discomfort).

Step 4. Now your eyelids are fully closed, inspire deeply through your nose, your mouth is closed ... Your breath should be deep, deep (but without too much effort) ... stop your breath for a few seconds (depending on the individual possibilities, avoiding the fatigue).

Step 5. Then ... breathe out slowly, leaving the air pass through the lips which are slightly open and stay with your eyelids closed during the hypnosis exercise ... allow your eyes return to their horizontal normal position.

Step 6. Now ... with your eyelids still closed ... you feel good, calm ... you can breathe easily ... you can imagine your body feeling good in the seat or bed you are lying on... you feel perfectly relaxed. Your spirit and body are perfectly relaxed, but at the same time in a state of alert, vigilance, living a pleasant sensation of floating that is self-hypnosis.

Step 7. Enjoy this pleasant sensation of floating, of hypnosis... and easily turn your attention on your right or left forearm, as you like... and imagine your forearm from the elbow to the hand becoming light, very light ... let your palm rise slightly, very slightly, as if it float.

Step 8. You have reached your purpose ... your left or right forearm and palm are in levitation, your elbow is resting on the armchair or the bed. You have felt a unique sensation during self-hypnosis.

Of course, there are many other ways to get into self-hypnosis, which are based on fixing a point or on progressive relaxation. In addition, self-hypnosis can be reached through meditation or using abdominal breathing described in the Yoga system. All these are variations that allow achieving the same result.
