Now once you feel all those great feelings of confidence, self assurance and self esteem just allow the scene to begin to fade. Count back from 5 to 1 and allow your eyes to open. Become fully aware of your surroundings as you bring yourself back to physical reality but bring with you all those good feelings.
At this time, walk and take a step into that ‘new’ you just as you would step into a projection or as though you where trying on some new clothes. As you enter the new you, feel how it feels to be that person. Hear what that person hears.
While still in a waking state imagine how you would feel and look if these statements were true. Imagine what kind of emotions this person would be feeling. See yourself being that confident in circumstances that usually make you feel insecure, self-conscious or fearful.
You must have an intention, preferably a written intention, before you even turn a hypnosis recording on. Your written intention should be a statement that sums up the exact result you want to experience after listening to the hypnosis session several times.
Imagine, you can actually hear the movie audience cheer and clap as the movie starts to run. Clap and cheer yourself as you watch that ‘other’ you act how you want to act and exhibiting the type of confident behavior you want to have.
Relax each muscle group of your body, beginning with your feet and moving up to your head. While doing this, allow your eyes to close when they begin to feel heavy.
Begin by breathing deeply. In through your nose to the count of 5 allowing your lungs to expand and then out gently through your mouth to the count of 5 emptying your lungs. This will relax your body.
Write down a statement outlines your intent and alter it so that it becomes an affirmation or set of affirmations. Make it present tense and very positive in nature. “I am increasing my confidence every day”, “I am self-confident and self-assured in every situation” and “I can feel my self-esteem increasing everyday” are a few good examples.
In order to stay completely relaxed and in control of your self hypnosis session, continue to breathe deeply and slowly.
As you enter the new you, feel how it feels to be that person.
In the distance on the other side of the screen you can hear the audience going wild with delight as you act and perform as that ‘other’ you would act. Feel how good that feels.
Now imagine that you are floating up towards the screen. Imagine that you float into the screen and become part of the movie.
Now take a deep breath and on the exhale mentally repeat your affirmation. Do this for several cycles until you feel that the affirmation is beginning to feel like the truth.
Without doubt the most important aspect of any self-hypnosis session is the setting of your intention. You must have an intention, preferably a written intention, before you even turn a hypnosis recording on. Your written intention should be a statement that sums up the exact result you want to experience after listening to the hypnosis session several times. For an example we will assume you have the intention of being more confident.
Now repeat your affirmations as you imagine the ‘other’ confident you would say them. Feel and believe that these statements are true. Say them with conviction.
Focus your gaze softly on a spot in front of you. Look for somewhere that is slightly above eye-level while you keep your head straight.
