Successful Sessions: Getting the Most out of Self Hypnosis

By Barrie St John

What is the most important factor in making self hypnosis a success? To me the answer is as simple as this: regular listening. You should try to listen as much as practically possible, and by this I mean daily. Many people say they are just too busy for that, but in order for hypnosis to work you have to make a certain level of commitment. You need to find the time and really listen.

How you listen is also important. The best place to experience hypnosis is in an environment where you have privacy. It should be a place you are very comfortable relaxing. Consider listening while lying down if possible. This is, after all, the most natural position for relaxation. Of course it is not written in stone, it has to be whatever suits you individually. Sometimes finding out what works for you is kind of a journey. You get to experiment and find out what works best.

Peace and quiet is another important factor. Headphones are especially good for this. Our self hypnosis recordings are done in stereo, not only for the high-quality sound they produce, but also for the therapeutic element. By listening through headphones it almost seems like the sound is plugged directly into your brain. Obviously, this also aids in cutting down on distractions. Concentration is a key factor in hypnosis and your focus can be easily interrupted by outside noise. 

The right timing will also help you make the most of it. Listen to your hypnosis sessions anytime when it is private, comfortable, and convenient for you. It could just be whenever you are able to find the spare time or maybe right after tea when your body begins to get tired and slow down a bit.  Possibly you prefer listening at night, when the day is behind you and you are free of outside demands. It’s ultimately up to your personal preference. Try it at different times and determine when you feel the most relaxed.

But how does one relax? Many people say they have trouble with this and fear it may impact their ability to benefit from hypnotherapy. I suggest to them to try not to think so much. It’s natural for your mind to wander from time to time, but as you become aware of it you can bring your focus back to my voice. If I’m asking you to concentrate on certain part of your body, try to follow and keep that focus.

Self hypnosis does not come easily for everyone. Some people will have to try harder at it than others, but if you dedicate yourself to getting the most out of each hypnosis session--you will. By staying motivated, listening often, and following these suggestions you are sure to experience successful self hypnosis.
