Have you ever been reading a good book and time just flew by? Have you ever been driving down the highway and realized that you had no idea if you missed the exit you needed to take to get to your destination? You were daydreaming. Truckers who travel by road call this phenomenon «white line hypnosis”.
If a child had run in front of your vehicle, you would have stopped even if you weren’t fully aware of your surroundings. This is the same brainwave state that people using hypnosis enter.and the same relaxed state that a hypnotherapist will lead you to.
All you need to do is relax, follow simple instructionsY allow your voice to have the same effect as the line on the road. The therapist will be able to direct your attention to different things. You don’t have to try, or strain, or anything like that. You only have to relax.
As you enter lower brainwave states, you may feel a light and pleasant floating sensation. Some people remember everything that happens, others may have periods when they do not remember.
It’s okay either way because there’s a part of you that listen very carefully.
That is the part that listens to what you want it to listen to or makes the necessary changes in your subconscious patterns. This state can be very relaxing. Time can often be distorted during hypnosis, and what may seem like half an hour was actually only five minutes.
So how can you know if hypnosis will work for you?
Here is a simple self-hypnosis test to see if you can get into hypnosis trance states:
Please read the following before performing this simple experiment.
1. Start by sitting in one place calm Y comfortable with legs uncrossed.
Take a few breaths and allow yourself to close the curtain on the day for a moment. Scan your body mentally in look for areas of stress and imagine breathing comfort into them.
2. Now, extends arms in front of the shoulder height as in a parody of a sleepwalker.
Note that they are in front of you. She closes her eyes and takes a couple of deeper, even breaths, letting them out slowly.
3. You are going to imagine that someone is tying a helium balloon to your right handwhile at the same time putting a heavy book in the left hand.
4. Imagine that you feel the balloon pulling up and the book pressing down.
Now «add» another globe to the right hand and another book to the left. Imagine the right hand getting lighter. The left increasingly heavy.
5. Continue “adding” balloons and books, slowly three times.
Now open your eyes and look at your hands, are they the same height as when you started? Or is the right slightly higher than the left? Five inches, thirty inches or more?
6. No matter what the difference is, and even if they are still on the same level, if you could actually visualize the globe and the book, you are curious and open-minded enough to enter a trance state.
A hypnotist will know many other ways to put you into a trance state. It is not a one size fits all thing.
They will probably guide you through the induction, a kind of story that will allow you to enter a state of deep relaxation, then go deeper, such as counting backwards and suggesting that you can be more deeply relaxed with each number; perhaps imagining that you go down a flight of stairs. At that point, the changes you want are made.
Hypnosis can help you see or imagine yourself in the following situations:
- Feeling full with smaller portions when you eat
- Begin to dislike bad habits
- Stay calm when your partner has pressed one of your panic buttons
- Getting over the idea of quitting training
- Noticing when you’re under a lot of stress and taking a few «down time» breaths
- Feel calm and confident talking to that new love or making that great presentation at work
Whatever the case, if you can imagine it while you are in a relaxed state, it will seep into your active mind.
Each time you do, you will get better at visualizing the results you want and feel encouraged by the changes you will see. All you need is an open mind and endless possibilities for you to make the changes you would like to see in your life.
