Complete Relaxation With Self Hypnosis
No matter which way you look at it, in the modern world stress is simply a fact of life. As technology moves ever onwards while our life is made easier in some ways, it also means we are more bombarded with information, messages and requests than ever. Right now as I sit at my computer my cell phone has just received a text and emails are constantly rolling in. You would think the mind never has a chance to fully switch off, but thankfully that is not true. Amongst the many relaxation techniques out there I have always found self hypnosis the most helpful.
I won’t talk today about how to perform self hypnosis as I know that that has already been covered at Relaxation Haven. What I would like to talk about though is how to get the very most out of self hypnosis when you use it for relaxation. To achieve complete relaxation with self hypnosis you need the perfect set-up. This differs from person to person as I understand yet there a few pieces of advice I can impart on you.
To begin you want a quiet, peaceful room where you can be sure you won’t be disturbed. To add to the relaxing atmosphere you may wish to lower the lighting and light some incense. This will all add to the relaxation of your self hypnosis session.
While you are performing self hypnosis and feeling completely relaxed there is an NLP techniques you can use so that whenever you feel stress during your daily life you can immediately calm yourself down and begin feeling relaxed once more. When you are at your most relaxed during self hypnosis consciously touch the tip of your index finger over the tip of your thumb and say to yourself mentally “I am completely relaxed”.
This is known in NLP as anchoring. Your mind will now associate the act of touching your index finger to your thumb with the feeling of utter relaxation. Now when you are at work or at home and you feel any sort of stress you can simply touch your index finger to your thumb and think “I am completely relaxed” and you will immediately begin to feel the waves of relaxation wash over your mind and body.
I hope you will find great success with this technique and you will continue on your quest for more knowledge about NLP, self hypnosis and relaxation.
