Create a Self Hypnosis CD
The market is flooded with self hypnosis recordings, most of them going for a fairly decent price. However, if you aren’t interested in going with what someone else has created, why not consider making your own self hypnosis recording? It’s easy to do and you will have a program that is tailored to your specific needs.
First, you will need to write your script. This is the most important part of the whole process, since the wording can make or break a hypnosis session. Using words that are meaningful to you will make the hypnosis session more effective, so make it personal and don’t worry about using people, pets, etc.
The first phase of your self hypnosis recording will be the relaxation phase. This is where you relax your body, muscle by muscle. You may want to record yourself going through the various body parts to relax, from your scalp to your toes. Use whatever method has worked for you in the past, as there are various methods and people tend to respond to them differently.
Next comes the deepening phase, where you will put yourself into a far deeper relaxation. You may want to use certain triggers to cause this to happen, for example, you may say “With each breath, you become more relaxed.” This stage will lead into the suggestion phase.
For the suggestion phase, you’ll want to decide what it is you are trying to accomplish, then write down how you will suggest it to yourself. Think this step through carefully. For example, if you want to quit biting your nails, it might be better not to say “Biting your nails will kill you.” Imagining yourself in a stressful situation where you don’t want to bite your nails may be just as effective, without causing any problems down the road (freaking out when someone else bites their nails in front of you).
The last part of your cd will be the awakening phase. Counting is a very popular way to come out of the hypnosis state and you may want to use that. However, if you have another technique that you want to employ, that’s fine, too.
Once you have your script, sit down and start recording. Try to keep your voice fairly calm and don’t get too forceful during the suggestion phase. Then burn your masterpiece to a cd and use it during your self hypnosis sessions.
As you can see, making your own self hypnosis cd is fairly easy to do. Once you have your script down, you can simply record yourself (or someone else, if you prefer) and that’s it. Go ahead and try making your own self hypnosis recording today.
