Self-knowledge and self-development with the help of trance is a well-known practice in psychology. To get yourself into a trance, use Betty Erickson's self-hypnosis technique, which has made great strides in this area.
Instructions
Step 1
Get into the most comfortable position in which you can spend the time allotted for hypnosis. Sitting will keep you safe from falling asleep, but if you feel like you want to lie down, lie down.
Step 2
Determine the time after which your body itself will bring you out of the trance state. Tell yourself clearly, “I want to hypnotize myself for 15 minutes. You will be surprised that your internal clock will tick to within a quarter of a minute.
Step 3
The next important step is to define a goal. Tell yourself why you are putting yourself into a trance state. For example, “I want to go into a trance to gain confidence in dealing with people. This should be your personal goal, clearly and specifically.
Step 4
Now decide for yourself how you want to be at the end of self-hypnosis. These can be very different states, from vigor and energy to relaxation and readiness to go to sleep.
Step 5
Sitting or lying in a comfortable position, focus on three small objects outside, such as a mirror, a doorknob, and a vase. Name what you see, for example, “I see a glass vase in the right corner of the room.
Step 6
Next, focus on the three sounds that you hear in this second, for example, “I can hear the wind opening the window. These may be sounds that normally distract you, but now they are the ones that will allow you to enter a state of trance.
Step 7
The next step is to generate kinesthetic sensations. It could be something that you don't notice at normal times, such as, “I can feel the belt from my trousers digging into my belly, or“I can feel the woolen sweater tingling my skin.
Step 8
Then again resume a series of sensations and representations: two visual, two auditory and two kinesthetic. It must be something new, something that you see, hear and feel right now. Then repeat the cycle of one representation, sound and feeling.
Step 9
Now the work of putting yourself into a trance is moving into the inner plane of your consciousness. Close your eyes and imagine any object that pops up in your mind. For example, a beach on the coast of France. Name it.
Step 10
Now imagine some kind of sound, for example, the cry of a flying seagull. Next, evoke a sensation, you can invent it yourself, for example, how the sun warms your back. If there is any external stimulus, such as a cat passing by you and hitting you with its tail, name it.
Step 11
Next, you need to do the same, repeating first a cycle of two representations, sounds and sensations, and then - of three.
Step 12
At this time, you will enter a trance state. It may seem to you that you are fainting or falling asleep, but the fact that you will be back in 15 minutes will indicate that you were hypnotized and your consciousness was doing what you instructed it to.
Step 13
If you did everything correctly, then your exit from the trance will be accompanied by the state that you desired at the beginning of the process, for example, cheerfulness or relaxation. And remember that practicing self-hypnosis regularly will improve your results and make the process more enjoyable and interesting.
