Self-Hypnosis for Behavioral Change
Auto-suggestion is where you implant suggestions into your subconscious using your own internal voice and language. It can be done both in and out of hypnosis. When you implant positive suggestions into your deeper mind, the old program then becomes replaced by a new and more beneficial one. As a result the new behavioral pattern now acts in accordance with the writing of the new program. The chosen program then remains until such time as the subject wishes to change it.
Through self-hypnosis you have the ability to change your behavioral pattern into the type of person you desire to be. The reason self-hypnosis works so effectively is because when you are implanting positive suggestions, there is no intrusion of conscious thinking. It is by-passed through breathing, concentrated attention, deepening (ability to deepen the level of trance) and auto-suggestion. Because the subconscious does not have the ability to reason, it simply accepts what it’s told as truth, even if it is not true. Like a child it takes everything literally; so when you tell it you are confident and relaxed, it believes it, especially when you imagine it. This process of behavioral change comes about when you allow it to happen naturally in a relaxed state of mind.
If you are going to change your present behavioral pattern into a new one, you first need to master the art of relaxing. Relaxing is different from sleeping; and if you find it difficult to stay awake while practicing, you can suggest to yourself in the hypnotic state not to fall asleep. The time it takes you to relax may be longer in your first attempts at self-hypnosis; but before long, what took fifteen minutes will eventually only take a few seconds. As you become skilled at relaxing, you will be able to recognize a deeply relaxed state, and achieve it easily. Some people have a natural ability to let go, while others have to work harder at it. Humans are the only animals on earth who try to fall asleep. All other animals just allow themselves to fall asleep.
Trying involves effort, and effort is a conscious process that only tends to keep you awake. If you want to fall asleep you must first relax the mind and body and then allow it to happen naturally. The same goes for self-hypnosis. You must not try to move into the hypnotic state; rather you should simply allow it to happen, as hypnosis is a natural manifestation of the mind. Hypnosis happens all by itself; and by relaxing the mind and body completely through the breath, you can move into a trance state easily and naturally. The main thing is to take your time and use your breath well. A brand new program is in the making, so relax and enjoy making it. Learn Self-Hypnosis today!
