Entering a state of hypnosis is easy using the Betty Erickson technique. With a little practice you’ll find yourself relaxing quickly and waking refreshed and energised.

Step 1. Think of a symbol, word or object that represents what it is you want to achieve. For example, for more confidence a symbol may be a lion, or for relaxed and energized, running water.

Step 2. Say to yourself. ” I want to achieve(insert) and become fully alert after(5,10,15 minutes) opening my eyes and feeling great.

Step 3. To enter hypnosis, sit or lie down comfortably and allow your gaze to become a little fuzzy like it’s looking everywhere at once, and not on one thing in particular. Then notice one thing you see. One thing you hear. And one thing you feel.  Then repeat, but this time 2 things you see, hear and feel.

Step 4. Next close your eyes and notice three things you can imagine seeing, three things you can imagine hearing and three things you can imagine feeling.

Step 5. Continue to increasing the number of times you imagine seeing, hearing feeling sensations, and at a point in time your mind will simply give up and relax completely.

This may take a little practice but is a great way to introduce yourself to a great place of peace and relaxation.
