Self Hypnosis - Relaxation Technique
The Self Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state of mind which can be defined as a heightened state of focused concentration, with the willingness to follow instructions.
Hypnosis, like meditation, has a dubious image. Many people over many years have made their living by overlaying these practical and useful self hypnosis techniques with unwarranted mystical and magical rituals. In fact, it is a useful tool for achieving deep relaxation.
Self-hypnosis is when you hypnotize yourself. This is often more practical as a stress management tool than normal hypnosis, as you do not need to have a hypnotist present.
Drawing on the same "relaxation response" that drives meditation, self-hypnosis helps you to relax your body, lets stress hormones subside, and distracts your mind from unpleasant thoughts. The relaxation achieved with self-hypnosis can be intense. Unlike meditation, we often use affirmations as part of self-hypnosis to manage stress and build self-confidence. Affirmations are the positive statements (based on rational thinking) that we make to ourselves to counter stress and unpleasant thoughts - see our article on Rational and Positive Thinking for more information on this.

Guide to Self Hypnosis
Most people who have heard of free hypnosis techniques believe that hypnosis is done for entertainment, but the truth is that hypnosis is also done for medical and therapeutic reasons. When hypnosis is used for medical reasons, the hypnotherapist puts the patient in a semi unconscious state and helps him get rid of medical problems. However, this form of hypnosis requires many visits to the hypnotherapist's office. These days many people are opting for self hypnosis treatment for medical purposes and the following paragraphs will elaborate on some of the benefits of self-hypnosis.
Self-hypnosis can help people get rid of anxiety, stress, depression and nervousness. This form of hypnosis is very effective if the person knows the right techniques and practices them often. Usually to put oneself in a hypnotic state, the person has to close his eyes, think of pleasant thoughts, relax his muscles and count down from 10 to 1.
Since self hypnosis is done without the guidance of others, this form of treatment is usually used to treat small problems and to control or get rid of fears, nervousness and other similar problems. Self-hypnosis can also be used by women in labor to prepare for natural child birth. Self-hypnosis can also be used to treat chronic pain and irritable bowel syndrome.
