The Benefits of Self-Hypnosis for Relaxation: A Practical Approach

 




With our increasingly busy lives, relaxation can often feel like a luxury. It becomes something that we aim to do when we have more time, but ironically it is the very thing that we should be planning for and including as a regular part of our everyday lives.

Learning relaxation techniques and using them frequently can be effective in taking charge of many common stresses and worries we experience in everyday life.

The more stressed we are the less able we are to cope and think positively. This can lead to being stuck in a cycle of negative thinking which prevents a person being able to achieve the things they would like.

Hypnosis is an ideal way of benefiting from relaxation and encouraging a more positive attitude. Hypnosis is best described as focused relaxation. The deep relaxation, allows a person to be able to suggest a more positive way of thinking, encouraging a positive effect on their behaviour.

Suggestion Therapy using Hypnosis is a way to re-programme the way we cope with day-to-day pressures. While it is often used to help people stop smoking or manage unwanted behaviours, it is particularly useful in helping a person to relax.

It does not have to be a long process either. I would usually work with a client for a couple of sessions and show them how to use Hypnosis themselves, and with a little practice they are able to use the techniques to gain some well needed relaxation in a few minutes a day. Many people are surprised how easily they relaxed, even when they thought they couldn’t.

While using self-hypnosis positive suggestions are used to encourage a different way of coping with our stresses. The calming effect helps a person to manage their stress levels or simply improve their sleep and positive attitude.

Rather than being a luxury it is essential in helping us feel positive and able to cope with whatever stresses life throws at us.

Getting a Better Nights Sleep - The 3 Week Challenge: Principle One

Image
It all began a month or so before lockdown when I noticed how many sleep aids there were in the chemist.  That same week I had four people contact me for help with sleep problems.  This made me ask myself: “What does psychological research and Hypnotherapy tell us about getting a good nights sleep?” A positive psychological approach focuses on what makes people healthy rather than unhealthy. Instead of looking at the behaviour of someone who is struggling to get a good nights sleep, we should focus on the person who frequently sleeps well. How is the behaviour different? Can we copy it? I began teaching people to use these psychological techniques alongside Hypnosis to nudge their sleep pattern. I was pleased to see the differences that could be made…but more people are needed to really see how effective it could be. Fancy a challenge? You need to apply the principles for the next three weeks and review the changes to your to sleep.  Each princip...

What Is The Long-Term Impact Of Living With Anxiety?

Image
  Anxiety is a common experience that affects millions of people worldwide. While it can serve a useful purpose by alerting us to potential dangers, chronic anxiety can lead to a range of long-term impacts that significantly affect an individual’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being. As a Hypnotherapist, I often work with clients struggling with anxiety. Mental Health Challenges Living with chronic anxiety can increase the risk of developing other mental health disorders. Anxiety often coexists with conditions such as depression, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The persistent worry and fear can lead to feelings of hopelessness, isolation, and sadness. Over time, this can result in a downward spiral of mental health, making it more challenging to manage anxiety and contributing to a complex interplay of symptoms that can be overwhelming. Physical Health Consequences The long-term effects of anxiety aren’t limited to mental health; they can also manif...

Hypnosis Explained

Image
    If you are hoping to read that Hypnosis is a magical, mystical, controlling power that can make people behave in ways they choose not to, then you are certainly going to be disappointed. Any assumption that a person is asleep or unconscious is also not the case.  So have you ever experienced Hypnosis? Think back over the last 24 hours…. When you woke up this morning, do you remember that half-awake half-asleep feeling? On that commute to work, perhaps you drifted into auto-pilot and as you were driving along? Perhaps your mind drifted to the things you had to do.  You could be forgiven for thinking that you were daydreaming. Tonight, just as you drift off to sleep you are very likely to experience that same half-awake half-asleep feeling. Every one of those experiences could be given the name Hypnosis. Hypnosis is a natural state we all experience many times throughout the day. It is as much part of our lives as breathing. The idea of being under the control of ...
