Once you learn the basic techniques of self hypnosis, your awareness can be directed to making changes in your life. Learning to relax every part of your body is the first step in successful self hypnosis. Because the eyes muscles are the easiest muscle group to relax, they are a great place to begin.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Prepare for your relaxation and self hypnosis session by locating a peaceful place where you won't be interrupted for several minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Sit in a comfortable chair in a relaxed position. Put your hands in your lap or rest them on the arms of the chair. Don't cross your legs or feet.

  3. Step 3

    Begin deep breathing exercises. Inhale deeply through your nose and feel your stomach muscles rise as your diaphragm fills like a balloon. Exhale slowly through your nose, focusing on deflating the balloon.

  4. Step 4

    Close your eyes and concentrate completely on the muscles around your eyes. Tell yourself that you are in full charge of your eye muscles.

  5. Step 5

    Imagine that your eye muscles are so relaxed and heavy, you can't open them. As you practice increasing your focus and you enter a state of self hypnosis, you'll actually find it difficult to open your eyes.

  6. Step 6

    Practice relaxing your eye muscles for a few minutes, and then allow your eyes to slowly open. Continue to breathe deeply as you continue to relax the other muscle groups of your body.
