How to Do Self-Hypnosis

Video Transcript

"My name is Andy Silver, and I work as a performance coach using hypnosis and NLP, NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programing. And I've been coaching clients using hypnosis and NLP for 20 years. My website is ResolutionExperts, (with an S) .com. In this segment, called, Self Hypnosis, Joyce will have the experience of stepping into her future in which she will be selling her phone and buying a new one, packing up all her many belongings from many years of living in the old home, and experiencing this transition in a peaceful way. You're selling your home of many years and moving into a new home, so you have a lot of things to pack up. And I thought you might like an anchor, a way to calm yourself down in the middle of all that activity. So self hypnosis is about creating an anchor, such as I did with becoming smoke-free. To remind yourself of all your resourcefulness, and to be able to focus your attention on what you want, rather than think about the things that you don't want. Hypnosis is all about selective attention. So Joyce what I'd like to offer you is a sense of what would the ideal move for you be? What would it look like? "The ideal Move"? The ideal move. "Move. Everything would be packed neatly in boxes, labeled, and ready to load on the truck". Okay. So neatly packed, loaded, clean, ready to put on the truck, "labeled"; labeled too, yes, absolutely, labeled, which room, which box everything is going in, or which room. And then what would it sound like? "Probably a chattering of voices of people moving around". Okay. "Moving the boxes onto the truck one at a time, not rushed, quietly", quietly; "and then just a big quiet house, taking boxes into another quiet house". Okay, into another quiet house, alright. And what would be the feeling you would love to have associated with this move? "The new chapter of my life". So a sense of completion about the past and excitement about the future. "Beginning a new". Beginning a new chapter, wonderful, okay, great. So Joyce has just identified around three sensory levels. What it would be like ideally for you to be able to move. Visually seeing those things, hearing those sounds, feeling those feelings. So right now taking your forefinger on your right had and putting it on a special place on the back of your left, I want you to close your eyes as I repeat back to you, and this is going to be your new anchor, and you'll be able to fire this any time you want by pressing into it. So the visuals that you shared is that you will see the boxes neatly packed, each one of them labeled, there's a sense of order, things look very clean as you put these things on the truck. And the sounds associated with this, the sound of chattering voices, people cooperating, helping each other to load the truck. The sounds of an empty house that you're leaving, and the sound of a new place that you're moving into that's quiet. And the feeling associated with this is the excitement of starting a new chapter in your life, and having a sense of completion about the past. So every time you fire this in the middle of that move and anchor that spot, it will remind you and bring all your best resources to bare, as you get ready to start this new chapter in your life. Great. Well thank you Joyce."
