Hypnosis for Sleep

Every once in awhile we need a little help to fall asleep due to stress related issues, whether it is about work, family or our bank account. Self-hypnosis can work to keep your mind occupied while it lowers your heart rate and allows you to become drowsy, if not put you to sleep altogether. There are many hypnosis for sleep CD’s, Mp3's and videos on the market today.

I’ve had a self-hypnosis sleep aide since 1988 and from time to time I still listen to it. More times than not I fall asleep before the end, but was told by the narrator that you should still receive the hypnotic message subliminally. He starts out by saying that it’s not advised to listen to the tape operating a vehicle because soon just by listening to his voice and completing the exercises on the tape you will become unaware of your surroundings. Make sure you are in a comfortable position whether in a recliner or bed. Your eyelids will get heavier and heavier until you can’t hold them open any longer.

In order to help you relax he wants to lower your heart rate by do a breathing exercise.
The breathing exercise is described as; Take a deep breath, deeper, deeper now hold it, hold it then exhale counting backwards from 8 to 1 and relax, relax. Repeat 2 more times.

Imagine yourself in a peaceful place such as floating on a cloud on a warm summer’s day. A cool breeze blows over you and you relax, relax. As you are floating on your cloud concentrate on your right arm, from your fingertips to your shoulder and feel the warmth of the sun on your arm. Now tighten your arm, harder, harder….take a deep breath hold it hold it…now release your right arm the same time you exhale counting backwards from 8 to 1 and relax, relax.

Concentrate on your left arm, from your fingertips to your shoulder and tighten it, harder, harder, hold it…take a deep breath hold it, hold it…now release your left arm as you exhale counting from 8 to 1 and relax, relax.

Concentrate on your right leg from your toes to your hip and tighten it, harder, harder as hard as you can. Now take a deep breath, hold it, hold it...now release your right leg as you exhale counting from 8 to 1 and relax, relax.

Concentrate on your left leg from your toes to your hip and tighten it…harder, harder hold it…take a deep breath, hold it, hold it…now release your left leg as you exhale counting from 8 to 1 and relax, relax.

Concentrate on your torso and feel the warmth in your stomach as you tighten your chest, then your stomach then your buttocks….tighter, tighter….hold it…take a deep breath, hold it…then release your body as you exhale counting from 8 to 1 and relax, relax.

Concentrate on you head and tighten your head harder, harder…take a deep breath hold it, hold it, then release the tension in your head as you exhale counting from 8 to 1 and relax, relax.

Feel the warmth of the sun on your body as you are floating on your cloud. The warmth of the sun is converging to your stomach and explodes into a million rainbow colored pieces that travel all over your body. And you feel in harmony with your body as these colored pieces are warm and protective.

If you have an area in your body that is ill or needs improvement this is the time to force the bad out of your body starting at the top of your head. Concentrate on the top of your head and push the what is ailing you lower to your face, then your neck, down through your arms and your chest, stomach…if there are any areas you want to pay closer attention to concentrate on these areas as you reach them…groin, thighs, legs and feet. Now push all that is ailing you out of your feet, push until it is all gone and relax, relax.

He goes on to tell you that you can be whatever you want to be and gives you encouragement to go after your dreams…but by this time I am so relaxed I fall asleep.

Hypnosis for sleep is one way to concentrate on something else besides your stress related issues and get to a sleep easy.
