Self-Hypnosis Workshops: How to Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind
If you've considered hypnotherapy but you aren't quite ready to invest in working with a trained hypnotist for a 1:1 hypnosis session, you may want to consider learning self-hypnosis.
Many top-performing athletes have practiced self-hypnosis techniques, such as celebrity golfer Tiger Woods, who used self-hypnosis to remain relaxed and focused while competing in high-pressure golf tournaments The American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis includes the latest articles on peer-reviewed research, and a study from 2011 showed hypnosis significantly enhanced visualized imagery and improved athletic performance.
If self-hypnosis can help Tiger, it can certainly help you enhance your performance, achieve a specific goal, and improve your overall mental health by reducing stress and practicing positive thinking.
What is self-hypnosis?
Self-hypnosis is an easy way for you to communicate with your subconscious or unconscious mind to improve your life. It only takes a few moments, and it allows you to access the power of your neurology to create lasting change. Self-hypnosis uses our natural ability to relax while entering a highly focused state, imagine new skills and situations, and use post-hypnotic suggestions to boost confidence.
Self-hypnosis also reprograms limiting beliefs that are causing anxiety, stress, and even sleep disorders. By practicing self-hypnosis, you can improve your self-confidence & self-esteem, feel calm & relaxed under pressure, manage physical pain, and even achieve a specific goal like weight loss & confidence speaking in front of groups.
Additionally, you can practice self-hypnosis to reduce stress and improve your focus in everyday life.
Is self-hypnosis the same as meditation?
The simple answer is no.
While all meditation uses hypnosis (or a trance state), not all hypnosis is meditative. Self-hypnosis does not require you to clear your mind of all thought, and it typically encourages you to tap into your imagination, emotions, and body sensations.
Self-hypnosis doesn’t require you to sit up straight or lie down. However, like meditation, you should be in a place where it is safe for you to close your eyes or at least fix your attention on a specific focal point.
What is the best way to learn self-hypnosis?
Self-hypnosis is a skill you can learn from books, but some things cannot be explained clearly or comprehensively about the hypnotic state without hands-on learning. Therefore, self-hypnosis training is usually conducted in groups by a trained hypnotist. The group environment allows you to create proper hypnotic suggestions and enter hypnosis using inductions, including relaxation techniques.
The benefit of learning in a live group versus an online self-hypnosis course is that the instructor will lead a practice round or two so that you can try the techniques. In addition, this interactive format allows you to ask questions and navigate through any perceived challenges in your self-hypnosis practice.
You'll also learn what to expect and how to deepen your self-hypnosis session with time and more advanced induction techniques.
