There are many ways in which to induce a tranquil, relaxed
state of mind, in which the body is still, and the
conscious mind is simply
placed aside for a while as the subconscious mind assumes a more dominant role,
and allows the therapeutic cognitive processes which are innate in all of us to
become active.
This state of mind, known as the hypnotic state is very simply
created by;
- Focusing one’s attention.
- Relaxing the body.
- Allowing unnecessary thoughts to enter, then exit, without
any rationalisation.
This process can be easily accomplished by the technique that
follows. It is known as the “Eye Roll Technique’, and is a very old but
powerful way of entering a safe therapeutic hypnotic trance. When in this
relaxed state of mind, it is possible to offer oneself any positive suggestions
or affirmations in order to bring about the changes which you desire. Examples
of positive statements and affirmations are given further on.
