Hypnosis is an extremely effective way to make positive lasting changes in your life. Through hypnosis you can talk directly with your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is where your habits are formed, believes developed and behaviors can be altered. With hypnosis the conscious mind is bypassed and suggestions go directly to the subconscious mind. It is very important to use the language of the subconscious mind. This is the language of emotions and feelings and what the subconscious mind will respond to.

Use positive statements when writing a self hypnosis script. As an example do not say I hate smoking, instead say I love being healthy and strong, being able to take complete full breaths. If you suggest a negative, the subconscious mind will only reinforce that negative as it takes things very literal. What happens is your subconscious mind will first have to think about the act of smoking and then think about not doing it. This is really a thinking process of the conscious mind.

It is always a good idea to say the suggestion several times in several different ways. Using weight loss as an example, you could say the following. I enjoy the feeling of being slim and trim, I love the way people look at the healthy me, my body feels healthy and fit.

It helps if you can make things personal. The reason for this is the subconscious mind understands emotions and personal is usually emotionally based. Weave your feelings, hopes and ambitions into the script. It is also best to use terms like “my health” “I will” instead of terms like “your health”. This only applies when make a script for yourself.

When writing your script follow a logical flow. This means that you should say things in a way that would be easy to actually do. As an example you could say “each day my energy level increase as my stress level decreases, I can feel day by day my life is improved” instead of “I am full of energy with no stress”. As you can see the second suggestion is abrupt with no flow to it.

Use deepening suggestions that will not create fear. An example of a deepening suggestion that could create fear is saying “you are walking down the steps into the dark basement, going deeper under ground”. A better deepening suggestion would be to say “it is a cold night and you are slowly pulling the covers up. As they pass your feet you can feel them becoming warm and relaxed”. The idea is to have comfortable, safe feeling, deepening suggestions.

Make your suggestions as simple and clear as possible. Always have your suggestions look ahead to the future. The future can be one minute from now, but they should always be forward looking.

If you can paint a verbal picture this can be extremely helpful. Paint the picture of the person after they have achieved the goal. As an example say “you are walking down the street as you see an old friend and you stop to talk, the friend pulls out a cigarette and offers you one. You politely decline and as you are declining, you take a deep, full breath feeling the clean, fresh air flow into your healthy, strong lungs.” Use descriptive words to help create more emotion.

These suggestions are just some basic guidelines for creating a hypnosis script. Start simple and build from there.
