Self-Hypnosis for Self Improvement There are so many situations where self-hypnosis can improve aspects of one’s life. Through the subconscious mind, we can change habits of the past or direct physical improvements for the future. In this class we will explore how hypnosis works for the mind, body and soul, as well as experience hypnosis first hand and learn how to self-hypnotize.

Training Your Mind to Use Self-Hypnosis Find a few minuets each day to quiet yourself Feed your mind helpful suggestions Positive affirmations Picture yourself being the person you want to be My notes

Self-Hypnosis Step 1 - Pre-Sleep Technique When you go to bed, starting tonight, and for the next 7 days, just before you are ready to fall asleep - give yourself the following suggestions 10 times: “Every day, in every respect, I get better and better” While your saying the suggestion, imagine yourself in any way you can, getting better and better. In order not to fall asleep and not to lose count, every time you say the suggestion press down with each finger of your right hand. Then, continue with each finger of your left hand until you’ve completed the suggestion 10 times. This may be your first attempt at learning to effectively program yourself through suggestion. It is of utmost importance to do this exercise every night without falling asleep until you’ve completed the 10 repetitions. You are beginning to establish a habit pattern of properly programming yourself by giving yourself positive suggestions before going to sleep. The next day, you’ll find yourself reacting very positively to that suggestion.

Here’s how: 1. Sit in a comfortable chair with your back supported. Focusing your attention – effortlessly - on a spot opposite you, slightly above eye level. 2. Take 3 deep breaths - slowly. As you inhale your third breath, hold it for 3 full seconds as you count backwards: 3…2…1 Close your eyes, exhale, RELAX, and allow yourself to go into a deep, sound, hypnotic rest. 3. You are to remain in hypnosis 2-3 minutes by counting down slowly from twenty-five (25) to one (1).

How do I create my own Self-Hypnosis Program? Assessment Set Goals Practice Self-Hypnosis Create Your Dream Explain what we wish to accomplish Put parts together to produce helpful positive suggestions and affirmations to repeat to oneself in self-hypnosis to produce change. Situation to be Assessed Chose one situation to work with here. What is it? Behavior (What am I currently doing regarding the situation?) Clarify situation When, what, how, who and where (not why) Develop history of situation When did you first behave this way Who was with you where did you go from there Behavioral excesses and deficits Regarding behavior, it can be advantageous to inquire about opposites – When did you not act this way? Affect (What are my emotions related to my behavior?) In our daily lives, the stimuli that elicit anger, anxiety and other emotions require careful identification. It is useful to ask about specific feelings concerning the behavioral excesses and deficits revealed. when exploring effective responses, tap cognitive information and elicit imagery. What makes you sad? What makes you cry? What makes you fearful? and the opposite. When would the event not upset you. Sensations (Physical symptoms related to my behavior?) Develop all senses to appreciate and enjoy visual stimuli, auditory responses, olfactory and gustatory delights as well as tactile pleasures. Which sounds are pleasant and which are unpleasant? What sights appeal to you and what visual scenes do you dislike? What are your special tastes – likes and dislikes – in food? What physical signs, if any, do you have as a result of your behavior? Imagery (How do I image myself related to my behavior?) During assessment ask client to close eyes and image themselves doing the behaviors they have indicated. Then ask: Where are you? Who is with you and what are they doing? Cognition (What are my thoughts related to my behavior?) The intention in assessing cognition is to underscore the value of the three specific lead-ins – shoulds, perfectionism, and external circumstances. Educate clients to eliminate shoulds and replace them with personal preferences. Effective therapy enables people to emerge with a full acceptance of their basic fallibilities and to use the therapeutic insights to correct misconceptions related to the widespread myth that they are victims of circumstance. cog·ni·tion   (kg-nshn) n. The mental process of knowing, including aspects such as awareness, perception, reasoning, and judgment. That which comes to be known, as through perception, reasoning, or intuition; knowledge.

Situation Assessment Behavior: What am I currently doing to regarding the situation? Affect: What are my emotions regarding the situation? Sensations: Physical symptoms related to my behavior? Imagery: How do I image myself related to my behavior? Cognition: What are my thoughts related to my behavior?

Goal Setting Buying-in – Understanding the concept and accepting it. Personal Motivation – What are the Benefits? Creating A Goal Image – What kind of person do you want to become? Programming the Goal Image into the Subconscious – Identify and merge with your goal image. Resisting Temptation – Triumph over temptation! Achieving Your Goals – Experience the feelings of pride and self-respect that are realized when the temptations are resisted and the goal is reached. Use the Goal Setting form, which enables each participant in the class to establish his/her own personal goal and action plan.

Suggestions are at the Beginning of the Chain that Directs Our Lives Beliefs Feelings Attitudes Behaviors Success / Failure

Suggestions are at work all the time Situation See bump in road. See ad for job. Suggestion Says, “I am going to hit it.” Says, “I am getting it.

Reinforcement and Encouragement Our behavior is controlled – knowingly or unknowingly, positively or negatively - by reinforcement and encouragement

Reinforcement is an Action or Thing that Strengthens a Habit Oversleeping Smoking Weight Control Negative Reinforcement Watching late TV shows Going for a drink after work Using candy to reward self

Encouragement is a Motivational Tool Manipulates an individual’s drive May be internal or external The drive to meet the weekly sales goal Internal External Self-Suggestion Preparing a daily sales plan Company sales contest

Positive Suggestions Conscious Goal directed Encompass desired results Avoid difficulties

Positive Suggestion Management We can turn the chain of events to our advantage through conscious effort to manage our suggestions, reinforcing goal directed habits, and encouraging ourselves.

Creating Suggestions and Affirmations Positive in tone Simple – in sentence form Believable Measurable In present tense Rewarding “Every day at 7:00 a.m. I ride my bike for 20 minutes and feel healthy and strong.”

Three Factors of Influence Letting go Focused Suggestions Reinforcement

Facilitation The acceptance of one suggestion always leads to the acceptance of another.

Grading Suggestions are accepted more readily if they are graded from low to high difficulty. Easy suggestions come before hard ones. As you develop suggestion skills, increase the difficulty a little at a time.

Expectancy If you believe in the positive result, you are in a state of expectancy. It may be a firm belief or a vague feeling that this thing will happen. Your expectancy that the suggestion will work plays a major role in goal achievement.

Step 3 - Programmed Suggestion 1. The third step in self- hypnosis is started one week after you complete the exercises for Step 2. Once you start Step 3, you no longer have to do Step 2. 2. For Step 3, you need a 3x5 card or a business card, which you can easily carry with you at all times. You are to write the suggestion you’ve prepared for yourself, which meets the criteria of being Positive, Simple, Believable, Measurable – and it should carry a Reward. Always state your suggestion in the present tense. 3. Again, sit down and choose a spot opposite you, slightly above eye level. Hold the card in front of the spot and read the suggestion to yourself three times. Make sure the words on the card are believable to you and allow yourself to imagine accomplishing what is written on the card. Use your imagination.

Step 3 - Programmed Suggestion 4. You’ve written your suggestion on a card – chosen your spot – read the suggestion to yourself three times – now, drop the card and take your first deep breath. Exhale. Take your second deep breath. Exhale. Now take your third deep breath – hold it – close your eyes – count backward from 3 to 1. Exhale, and go deep into hypnosis. 5. At this point, instead of counting backward from 25 to 1, allow the suggestion to repeat over and over in your subconscious mind. At the same time, imagine that you are carrying out your suggestion. You’ll find that at times the words start to break up and become fragmented. That’s perfectly okay. The important words or phrases will come through to you. In approximately 2- 3 minutes you’ll have a feeling it’s time to stop and wake up. (Note: this time was set when you established a habit pattern in Step 2.) At this point, just count forward: 1…2…3… open your eyes and go about your business, feeling refreshed and relaxed in every way.

Reinforcement Scripts Teach participants how to write reinforcement scripts to encourage themselves daily.
