Its very important to develop the ability to use our thoughts and sub-conscious desires to achieve the highest of ideals: Eastern Religions and cultures have long used meditation as a form of self-hypnosis in order to direct their thoughts and actions towards a higher direction
The difference however between Self-Hypnosis and meditation is often primarily nothing more than the act of counting oneself back out of the hypnotic trance.

The following outlines illustrates the technique of self-hypnosis. We offer it here at LIFEFIRST.COM as a guideline. The client should feel free to modify it as he or she sees fit.

Self–Hypnosis Training Steps:
1- Place yourself in a semi-comfortable position preferably sitting up with feet planted on the floor with your shoulders, neck and back straight, aligned and relaxed, (we don’t want you falling asleep). Choose a positive affirmation to use at the end of this exercise.
2- Become aware of yourself. Do a detached survey of your mind and body. Start with the head and check every area down to the tips of the toes until you have gotten in touch with your physical body.
3- Now focus on your hands resting on your thighs. Notice the feeling in your hands. Choose the word that best describes them: cold, numb, tingling, relaxed, heavy or light. Pick the word that best describes the feeling. Take your time looking for the best word. Once you find it, say it to yourself.
4- Let this word pass into your thighs from your hands and down through your knees, calves, ankles, and finally to the bottom of your feet.
5- Now take this same feeling and move it up from your toes through your ankles, calves, knees, thighs, hips and through your stomach, into your lungs - allowing each part of your body to let go as that sensation passes up.
 
6- Once this feeling enters your lungs and becomes connected to your breathing you can now use a different word; one that is associated with emotions. Choose from words such as happiness, calm, secure, confidence, peacefulness, or any word that evokes a feeling of well-being.
7- Now each time you inhale you associate the breath with the positive word.
8- From the lungs we move up through the neck, jaw, face, cheeks, eyes, forehead, allowing each part to let go and relax. When you reach the head you repeat the words "DEEP SLEEP."
9- At this point you can in this heightened sub-conscious state of being, begin to use and repeat the positive affirmation or suggestion previously chosen.
10- The last but most important step is to count oneself out by counting:
0-1-2-3-4-5 then saying: Eyes Open-Wide Awake-Feeling Great!

As previously stated it’s very important to count yourself out in order to avoid remaining in a suggestible state and thereby becoming susceptible to negative suggestions.
