So, here are the steps to hypnotize yourself now:
Step 1: Find a comfortable position and get relaxed. Get into a position that you will be able to maintain easily for the time you are going to hypnotize yourself. You should sit to prevent yourself from falling asleep. Also make sure you are not going to be disturbed for at least half an hour.
Step 2: Pick a goal. Why do you want to hypnotize yourself? Whether the goal is to stop smoking, weight loss or anything else, it must be present for the hypnosis to be focused and effective. So make a statement to yourself about the reason you want to hypnotize yourself. In this process, you allow your unconscious mind to work on an issue rather than giving suggestions throughout.
Step 3: Close your eyes and clear any fear, stress, anxiety or other negative feelings in your mind. Focus only on pure intentions and feelings.
Step 4: Recognize the tension in your body. Beginning from your toes, feel the tension in all the parts of your body. Imagine that you remove the tension from all the parts of your body. Visualize your body to get lighter and lighter. Relax each portion including your toes, shoulders, feet, calves, thighs, hips, stomach, face, head and others. Now you must be extremely relaxed.
Step 5: Imagine yourself at the top of the flight of 10 stairs which at the fifth step start to submerge into water. Tell yourself that you are going to descend the stairs, counting each step down, starting from 10. Imagine each number in your mind and start to descend the stairs. After each number you feel yourself drifting further into the deep relaxation. As you take each step, feel the step under your feet. When you are on the fifth step, feel the coolness of the water on your feet. Tell yourself that you are entering the oasis with the cleanliness. When you descend the last five steps, feel the water getting higher and higher up your body.
Step 6: At the bottom of the water, you should start to address your problems and decide what you want from the place you are. Now imagine three boxes under the water that you must swim to get to. Get and open each of the boxes. While opening each box, tell yourself that “this is my self-esteem that I will never lose”, “I’m strong and positive” or something related with your goal. Be sure to use only positive statements instead negative ones. Repeat your statements several times for a maximum effect.
Step 7: Once you are satisfied with what you have done swim back to the stairs and feel the water become lower and lower until you reach the fifth step. Pass the stairs and feel the steps under your feet. On the sixth step, you may feel heavier, so wait on this step for some seconds and continue again.
Step 8: When you are on tenth step wait some minutes before opening your eyes. Then out loud yourself “Wake away”, “wake away” and your mind will return to the conscious state and you will feel relaxed. Thus, you have successfully finished your first self hypnosis practice.

Thanks Katherine,
Yes, living in a noicy place will make it a bit difficult to get hypnotized. But if you use great imagination, you can easily enter a deep relaxation which will help to feel fine.

It is difficult sometimes to find a quiet place to relax. When I can’t find that quiet place I just suggest to myself that the noise around me will help push me deeper into relaxation. It works most of the time!

AJ,
Thanks for your kind words. It really motivates me to post more tips here.
If you even felt cold on some parts of your body, it means that you could enter the water successfully. So, your imagination worked and you could hypnotize yourself. I congratulate you. You can do it again, especially in a calm place to get more results.
I appreciate your intention to learn and use hypnosis for good purposes. You also have confidence which is fine and important. I don’t offer any personal training at this time, but I can guide you in your learning path and answer all of your questions. There is a contact form on the right upper side of the page.

It is fine that you could hypnotize yourself using this technique. It is very poweful, especially if you address your problem in the water.
