Chapter from our book “Self-hypnosis and active self-hypnosis.

To speed up work on a goal or increase efficiency, you can additionally engage in active self-hypnosis without self-hypnosis. Especially for those who want to get results as quickly as possible with minimal effort, we have several recipes.

Self-hypnosis in front of the mirror

You can practice self-hypnosis several times a day; any mirror in which you can see at least your entire face is suitable for this. Of course, the larger the mirror, the better, but you can be content with small ones.

It is more effective to practice self-hypnosis in the morning, thereby performing such psychological gymnastics, a morning ritual. You can do this along the way, between times, because... We all look at ourselves in the mirror at least once during the day.

Stand in front of the mirror, look at your reflection and affirmatively say your formula of suggestion or epithet of the desired goal, state, mood. For example, in the morning you want to get into a cheerful and working mood; to do this, say the appropriate suggestions in front of the mirror several times: “Cheerfulness! Activity!”, say or even shout (if possible) these words several times in a cheerful and active voice. Include your facial expressions, gestures, and voice into your work as much as possible; the more we involve our entire body in the work, the stronger the effect will be. Depict as much as possible, play from the heart the desired state, because... If in the reflection you look lethargic and sleepy, then even standing in front of the mirror all day will not achieve much of an effect. Repeat several times so that you like it, so that you yourself believe and get used to this role.

Recording text on the player and listening to this recording

This is perhaps the simplest method, which is especially popular among young people, but it also requires some effort. Record your suggestion formula on a voice recorder, and then listen to it on headphones throughout the day. For this, any simple digital player or cell phone that has this function will suit you.

It is better to use small headphones that are inserted into the ear; by the way, one will be enough. Insert one earphone into your non-dominant ear. A person has not only a leading hand or an eye, but also an ear. The lead is the one to which you usually put the phone, so the earphone needs to be inserted into the other ear. Then set the recording to play on repeat so that it automatically repeats itself as soon as it ends, and listen to the same recording all day (or better yet, several days). It is advisable that the suggestion formulas be simple to begin with and affect only one goal, and that the sound of the recording be adjusted so that you hear it, but it does not distract you from your current affairs.

Thus, you go about your business - communicate with colleagues, talk on the phone, work, study, read, and attention is directed to the processes in which you are involved. And at this time, almost imperceptibly, your voice instills in you useful attitudes. Your mind is busy with other things at this time, and the recording will not be perceived critically, which is what we need. Because It is non-judgmental (non-critical) perception that is one of the conditions for suggestion. This is why we immerse ourselves in self-hypnosis, to reduce our criticality, and this method can be an excellent addition during the day.

Self-hypnosis immediately after waking up or before going to bed

This technique is old, it was proposed by Emile Coue, but it also deserves attention. As they say: “everything new is well forgotten old.” Its main advantage is simplicity and good performance.

The technique is based on the fact that during the process of falling asleep or immediately after waking up, a person is more suggestible and more susceptible to attitudes. To do this, you only need to spend five minutes before going to bed or immediately after waking up. When falling asleep, repeat your settings several times (Emile Coue in his writings suggested repeating at least 20 times, counting the repetitions on a rosary), it is important that the last thoughts and words of the passing day are devoted to your goals and objectives.

This ritual can be repeated in the morning, to do this, set the alarm clock a little earlier than you usually wake up, in the morning, when you wake up, go back to bed, close your eyes and repeat the pre-prepared self-hypnosis formulas several times. If you are afraid of falling asleep again and being late, for example, for work, then set the alarm again, giving yourself 5-10 minutes to spare. If you do fall asleep, it doesn’t matter, it turns out that you gave yourself instructions immediately after waking up and before going to bed at the same time. It’s difficult to say whether this will increase efficiency, but it certainly won’t be worse.

Rituals and code words

To enhance the results of self-hypnosis, you can regularly use post-hypnotic rituals. To do this, outline in detail the main goal in your journal (what you want to achieve, what is your task), then express the essence of your goal, task in two or three sentences. And finally, compress it all down to one single signal phrase (up to two or three words) or even up to one code word. It is advisable that this word be pronounced silently in an unusual way or was found very rarely in everyday life, but it is better to invent this word for yourself or take it from another very rare and exotic language. Repeat this spell to yourself during self-hypnosis (while imagining the image of the desired goal) and throughout the day.

You can add any ritual to the code word. As a ritual, you can use quite simple and at the same time unusual actions for you. For example, you can brush your teeth with the other hand (if right-handed, then with the left, if left-handed, then with the right) and repeat your spell to yourself.

Suggestion is the presentation of information, perceived without critical evaluation and influencing the course of neuropsychic processes. Self-hypnosis is a process of suggestion addressed to oneself. Through self-suggestion one can evoke sensations, ideas, emotional states and volitional impulses, as well as influence the vegetative functions of the body.

The essence of self-hypnosis methods is the formation of positive impulses through the constant repetition of specially selected phrases until they turn into a working tool of your subconscious and it begins to act according to this impulse of thought, transforming it into a physical equivalent. Repeating settings for the subconscious is the basis of self-hypnosis.

Words and phrases of self-hypnosis must be mentally pronounced in the first person in an imperative tone and always in an affirmative form. The negative particle “not” is excluded from verbal formulas. You cannot say “I don’t smoke.” You need to say “I quit smoking” or “I stopped smoking.” You should also not pronounce long monologues. Phrases should be short, they should be pronounced slowly with full concentration on the subject of suggestion. While pronouncing each self-hypnosis phrase, it is advisable to vividly imagine what is being suggested.

Self-hypnosis methods work most effectively when active thoughts in the form of target formulas (thoughts that carry a clear, meaningful message to the subconscious) occur against the background of a state of relaxation in the body. The more relaxed the body is, the more pliable the subconscious becomes for target settings. The power of self-hypnosis is directly dependent on the degree of desire to achieve a specific goal, on the degree of concentration of attention on the settings for the subconscious.

There is enough large number Self-hypnosis methods include affirmations, psychological attitudes, various meditative techniques, visualization, mantras, prayers and many other psychotechniques.

AFFIRMATIONS – THE SIMPLE METHOD OF SELF-HYPOPTIATION

Affirmations are a method of self-hypnosis where you repeat formulas out loud or silently. The point of this psychotechnic is that you construct a sentence in which you say that you have achieved a certain goal. For example, “I have good health”, “I am confident in myself”, “I have good job", "I'm married to the man I love." What exactly to repeat depends on your goal. Thanks to affirmations, positive thoughts will begin to replace negative ones and gradually completely supplant them. And then everything that you repeat will come true in your life.

Gratitude is a type of affirmation, but a much more powerful psychotechnic. Gratitude is the second most powerful emotion after love. Because when we give thanks, strong emotions arise at the same time, and this has a powerful effect on the psyche and consciousness. You need to be grateful for everything you have and say: “Thank you, Lord, for good health,” “Thank you for my new home”, even if you don't have one. Thank you sincerely, from the bottom of your heart, as if you already have this home. And over time, self-hypnosis will do its job and you will have something repeatable.

The most common state of a person, in which he usually lives every day, is suitable for this psychotechnics. The effectiveness of affirmations will depend on how much the practitioner can make the spoken words the essence, the content of his entire day. That is, you can do whatever you want: work, relax, play sports, sunbathe, as long as the necessary affirmation continues to live on the surface of your memory.

Affirmations are the most simple method self-hypnosis and, accordingly, this is the easiest way to influence the subconscious, they are less powerful than visualization and need to be repeated more often. But they are also effective and easy to use.

VISUALIZATION

Visualization is the mental representation and experience of imaginary events. The essence of this psychotechnics is to simply imagine the desired situation and live in it. Visualization is so effective because our minds do not differentiate real events from imagined ones. When you imagine something, the mind believes that it is actually happening. It is very important to perceive everything with your own eyes. Not from above, not from the side, but with your own eyes. If you imagine a car, you must imagine that you are driving that car and you are looking at the road. Your goal is to buy a house. Imagine how you insert your keys into the keyhole and open the door for the first time, how you enter the house, how you look around it. Your visualization should be only positive and carry an exclusively positive charge.

You need to visualize in a comfortable, calm environment, so choose a time and place when no one will distract you, and take a comfortable position. Relax. Imagine that your muscles, starting from your toes and ending with your head, alternately relax. The tension leaves you. The mental image that is embedded in the subconscious must be very clear and vivid - then the subconscious will be able to give commands to the corresponding organs and tissues.

The duration of this psychotechnic is not particularly important. The main criterion is your pleasure. Visualize it for as long as you like it. This can last as long as an hour or five minutes. The main thing is that the process should be enjoyable. The more often you imagine the desired image, the sooner the renewal process will begin. And the result may simply amaze you!

SELF-HYPOPYPICATION METHOD E. KUE

When performing this psychotechnics, a person takes a comfortable position, sitting or lying down, closes his eyes, relaxes and in a whisper, without any tension, monotonously pronounces the same self-hypnosis formula several times (at least 20). The formula should be simple, consisting of a few words, a maximum of 3-4 phrases and always have a positive content. For example, “I am healthy.” In no case should it contain the particle “not”, since the denial of any action or phenomenon is not recognized by the subconscious and can be mistaken for the opposite statement. A session of this self-hypnosis method lasts 3-4 minutes and is repeated 2-3 times a day for 6-8 weeks. E. Coue recommended using drowsy states for psychotechnical sessions in the morning when waking up or in the evening when falling asleep.

AUTOGENOUS TRAINING

Autogenic training is a method of self-hypnosis in a state of relaxation (lowest level) or hypnotic trance (highest level). The creator of the autogenic training method is Johannes Heinrich Schultz, and he also owns the term “autogenic training.” This psychotechnics is based on the findings of the ancient Indian system of yoga, the experience of studying the sensations of people immersed in hypnosis, the practice of using the method of self-hypnosis by E. Coue and others.

By practicing this method of self-hypnosis, it is necessary to achieve relaxation, which occurs on the verge of reality and sleep. It is recommended to lie or sit in the “coachman” position. Having achieved relaxation, you need to:
– activate memories associated with pleasant sensations experienced in the past,
– cause, if necessary, not only calm, but also an increase in psycho-emotional tone,
– accompany self-hypnosis formulas with figurative ideas.

The effectiveness of using this psychotechnics will depend on the degree of concentration, so other matters are excluded. The self-hypnosis method requires daily practice, at least twice a day. Skipping at least one has an extremely bad effect on achieving the effect.

A type of autogenic training is imago training. The author of this method of self-hypnosis is Valery Avdeev. He claims that with the help of imago training, every person without any training is able to step far (under the direct supervision of an imago training specialist) beyond the limits of his usual capabilities and reveal his creative abilities.

MEDITATION

Meditation is intense, penetrating contemplation, immersion of consciousness into the essence of an object, an idea, which is achieved by focusing on one thing and eliminating from consciousness all interfering factors, both external and internal.

A necessary condition for meditation is the cessation of internal dialogue, the conversation that we constantly have with ourselves. Stopping it is not difficult at all. To do this, it is usually enough to focus on something in yourself. For example, on both hands at once.

Meditation is a psychotechnics that allows you to repeatedly increase your physical, intellectual and mental capabilities, reaction speed and much, much more; in principle, it is very simple. It can be divided into four parts, four components:
– installation definition;
– entering a state of emptiness and a real feeling of a given attitude within oneself;
– exit from a state of emptiness to a normal state with an attitude already embedded in the subconscious;
– if it is necessary to carry out the installation, spontaneous entry into a state of thoughtlessness and its implementation.

Installations should be extremely concise, succinct and at the same time bright.

SELF-HYPNOSIS

Self-hypnosis is one of the most powerful psychotechniques. The first step is to relax. Then you need to calm down and enter a state of peace. Then say the phrase “I am deeply asleep...”. Next, you should mentally count from five to zero, imagining how you are breaking away further and further from the familiar world, plunging deeper into the darkness of hypnotic oblivion. After counting “zero,” say the key phrase “I am deeply asleep...” again and mentally look around. You are inside your subconscious. Now it's time to pronounce a formula that will help you achieve this state faster in the future. It goes like this: “Every time I say the words “I am deeply asleep...”, I enter a state of self-programming faster and faster.”

This formula must be repeated several times at each of the first lessons and only after that the self-hypnosis formulas must be spoken.

RECAPING

Recapping is an effective psychotechnic that makes it possible to re-experience a past situation in a concentrated way, but in a new way, in a virtual space. Re-experiencing is the discovery of new possibilities in an old situation, not for then, but for new opportunities now. We are talking about situations that are still significant today. That’s the only reason it makes sense to experience them, that’s the only reason they can be experienced. To actually experience a situation again means to see new possibilities in it.

The main provisions of this psychotechnics are as follows:
1. The situation must be re-experienced (real experience), and not just restored in memory.
2. The situation must be experienced in its significant components, which alone make it a given existential situation. The reality of significant components of a situation is determined by the fact that they can be deployed, there is something in them that can be re-examined, rethought, etc.
3. You need to restore and reproduce in the situation what happened for you personally. The situation is always your personal, individual, existential situation. And what was around there was a gradually dissolving, disappearing background.

tinctures – an effective method of self-hypnosis

For this method of self-hypnosis, an active state is important, when a person’s consciousness reaches its maximum degree of concentration. Therefore, while performing the mood, it is necessary to behave as actively as possible: it is best to walk or move vigorously, but not lie down. However, it is not recommended to be distracted by any other activity.

Moods are words addressed by a person to himself, an attempt to awaken the forces dormant in the depths of each of us. The fact that the words are spoken by the person himself will not weaken their influence. On the contrary, a conscious and clearly expressed word that comes from within, in which the speaker himself believes, will have a much more pronounced effect than what was heard from another.

PSYCHOTECHNICS – BALLOON

Visualize above your head a deflated balloon. Take a deep breath and as you exhale, imagine how all your problems and anxieties, fears, worries and various troubles fill this ball. You are completely freed from these worries by filling the balloon with them. Then, taking another deep breath, as you exhale, visualize the balloon floating up and disappearing, taking with it all your worries and problems that you put into it. This is an excellent psychotechnique that is best done before bed, especially if problems are preventing you from sleeping.

SHICHKO'S METHOD OF SELF-HYPHOPTICATION

This psychotechnics was developed by Gennady Andreevich Shichko. He experimentally established that the word that a person writes with his hand before going to bed has a hundred times greater impact on the subconscious than the word seen, spoken or heard.

Psychotechnique is performed as follows. Before going to bed, write the suggestion formula on a piece of paper with a pen (you can write it several times). You read it several times. Then go to bed and, reciting the suggestion formula, fall asleep.
