Self hypnosis

Self hypnosis is a technique of putting yourself in a deep relaxed state in order for you to make positive suggestions to yourself.

During this pandemic, a lot of us haven’t had the privilege or opportunity to escape to the place you feel most relaxed. So having a technique you can do quietly at home, in a room, at your desk, or even in bed is a great way to “switch off” for a while.

“What is the difference between meditation and self hypnosis” i hear you ask…Well in both self hypnosis and meditation, you are taking yourself into a mild trance like state. The main difference however is that you would not necessarily use “positive suggestions” in meditation.
(Although that may also be down to semantics to a certain extent because we know that sufis for thousands of years have used  dhikr which is rememberance through words or phrases, so could also be used to reprogram the mind towards more positive thoughts).

There are many benefits to the body and mind with Self hypnosis. The most obvious benefits are the changes you might be able to make in your life due to the positive suggestions your subconscious mind is incorporating. Other benefits include improved sleep, more balanced hormones, and reduced stress.

Anyway, try and see if you can do this and let me know how it goes! Remember- for some people it may take a while but keep practicing.
