Guided hypnosis, the easy way!

Hypnosis is a state of mind where you are relaxed. You feel a sense of well-being and calm. The hypnotic state can be induced through self or guided hypnosis scripts. This state of mind is called trance.

While in hypnotic trance you can change your thoughts and perceptions. For instance, if you experience anxiety you can give yourself suggestions to help you be less anxious.

Self hypnotic trance is similar to self meditation. You relax your mind and body by breathing from the diaphragm gently and easily. Then, through, different methods you bring your focus and attention to your body.

The following is an easy script for you to follow. Simply lay down or sit down and close your eyes. Get comfortable and bring your attention to your breath. Take several diaphragmatic breaths in and out. Nice and slow, to a count of, say, five seconds for each in and out breath. This will relax your body.

When you're ready repeat the follow words to yourself. Be sure to speak to yourself in a slow, soft and easy tone.

I am now going to give myself a suggestion. I will take this suggestion and allow it to be a part of my inner and outer self.

I feel comfortable in social situations. I am comfortable and love myself. I feel comfortable in social situations. I am good, I am relaxed. It is okay for my body to accept my comfort and love. I feel comfortable in social situations. Let this be true.

I will now slowly come out of trance. I will feel refreshed, and calm, comfortable with life.
