Relaxation is an essential part of the hypnosis induction process, so in self-hypnosis, the it’s important that you begin with relaxation exercises to completely relax physically.

Using a body scan to relax as part of a hypnosis induction

One of the easiest ways to relax completely is to use a body scan. Focus your attention on each part of your body in turn. You can start at your toes, and finish with your scalp, or start at your scalp, and finish with your toes.

A complete body scan should take you around five to ten minutes, so go slowly, and mentally tell that body part to relax.

When you feel completely relaxed - your body feels heavy, and you don’t want to move - begin a relaxation visualization.

Imagine that you’re lying on a tropical beach, with the sun beaming down on you, and a soft breeze playing over your body…

Now you’re ready to give yourself the suggestions that you’ve prepared earlier. If necessary, you can read them from a sheet of paper. Just open your eyes and read. You could give yourself the suggestion: “even though I am opening my eyes and reading, I remain in a state of hypnosis, and my mind absorbs the suggestions I give myself.”
