CREATE YOUR OWN METHOD

Self-hypnosis is a solitary art. You are alone with yourself. You work on the most intimate part of your being-your subconscious. It’s difficult for an author to come up with a method that corresponds exactly to the tastes and needs of everyone. Try them, combine them to suit your own taste, and adapt them to your own personality. In this way, you can create your own method. One variation which is very useful and effective is best done in a seated position. Get comfortably seated, either on a couch or on the floor, in the cross-legged position. If your eyes close and you cannot open them without instructing your subconscious by using the ‘count to five’ technique, then you have succeeded. I am now going to suggest a few more techniques. Actually, there are a host of techniques designed to induce a state of self-hypnosis. If you find any elsewhere, feel free to use them. Finding one that works for you often depends on your personality, your taste and your preferences. Here’s one designed for people who like nature, gardens, and flowers. It is called the ‘classical rose’ technique.
