In this short article you will find information related to how to do hypnotherapy at home. Before we jump into hypnotherapy, you should have a firm understanding of the differences between hypnosis and hypnotherapy.

One major diffence; hypnosis is a technique used to bring on a state of deep relaxation, tighter focus, and increased suggestibility. It's also an intermediate state between sleep and the awake state. Hypnosis might be said to be intuitively, rather than intellectually aware. Medically speaking, the conscious mind is taking a break while the subconscious (some use the term unconscious) is more active.

Hypnotherapy is hypnosis uesed as a therapeutic tool. Hypnotherapy applies the techniques used in hypnosis. Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis to bypass the conscious mind, allowing positive suggestions to reach the subconscious mind. By lowering the resistance to change and suggestions. Our resistance is a natural reaction; without it we would do everything we were told.

As you can see, hypnosis is a state of consciousness, whereas hypnotherapy is a therapy. That means that hypnosis by itself is not a therapy. That is why self hypnosis by itself, will not change bad habits. Self-hypnosis is simply a tool to practice altering states of consciousness. Altered states of consciousness can be achieved by meditation and slowed breathing techniques as well.

When we want to learn how to do hypnotherapy at home, we need to understand the process of hypnosis first. We need to use an Induction technique. Hypnotic trances are brought about by inductions. To achieve a state of mind, of lowered consciousness, we need to become very relaxed, to become more receptive. This is similar to the conscious state many of us reach during watching television or reading. Even though we go through altered states of conscious naturally, we rarely get to use them to our advantage.

Some starter hypnosis tips; Learn how to use visualization and imagination to relax. If you're not confident of your own ability to relax yourself, buy a few relaxation CD's. Maybe take up a class of meditation. If you are familiar with relaxation techniques, then you can more your focus toward hypnotherapy techniques.

Techniques of hypnotherapy may be difficult for some individuals. In wording suggestions and affirmations to correct bad habits, removing fears, phobias, or lessening the feelings of traumas, emotional stress, or pain... Much importance needs to be given to the suggestion given. That is why it may be better for some individuals to seek of a trained, professional hypnotherapist, rather than learning how to do hypnotherapy at home.

Anyone who has read or studied positive thinking, may have a better chance of inducing positive change. This is due to their use of positively worded sentences and phrases. One example of how statements can vary, and their effects; "I want to stop smoking." A better statement might be; "I no longer smoke!." The difference in the two statements are obvious. The former states that you want to stop smoking, but it may, or may not happen. The latter statement suggests that you no longer smoke. In the latter statement, it sets up a positive message that you no longer need to smoke, because you no longer smoke.

If the first statement would be repeated, the subconscious mind would continue to give little push against smoking. In that example, you giving yourself the okay to continue the smoke. As you can see, hypnotherapy has several different parts to become aware of. Besides using hypnosis to reach a trance state, to lower the ego-resistance, we need to understand how to construct properly worded statements.

The last, and remaining part of hypnotherapy is the waking up stage. The best way to bring yourself out of a trance state, is by slowly urging your conscious mind to reappear to fuller consciousness. This can be done by slowly counting from one to five, five being a wide awake state, fully refreshed, feeling happy and healthy. You may add further suggestion in the wake up section. Simply add a positive suggestion related to your session. One such example might go; 1 - coming out of trance, feeling good about not smoking, 2 - becoming more awake, knowing your glad you gave up smoking... Etc.
