Part 1 - Preparation
The start of a session should be simple. This will ensure you don’t deviate from
your intentions concerning the hoped for outcome of pursuing self-hypnosis. A
complicated start will only make things confusing and you may get in your own
way by wasting time on an unproductive session. The preparation for a self-
hypnosis session involves several factors which should be addressed before the
second stage can be started. Let’s have a look at these factors in detail.
Place
Self-hypnosis is usually performed inside a closed room. The place you choose
is important, because it sets the tone. The kind of environment you’re in just
before inducing self-hypnosis will have an effect on your thoughts. You should
be alone in the room and it should be in a place with minimal noise and little
possibility of disruption. People talking or even walking around can be
disturbing to a hypnosis session. Ensure that the room is comfortable; not too
cold or too hot. It is also shown that softer lighting is helpful and makes for an
effective self-hypnosis environment.
Temperature
As mentioned earlier, the temperature in the room is crucial. A very hot room
will make you sweat and you’ll feel uncomfortable. Besides this, there is also the
chance of you becoming dehydrated because of excessive sweating. A cold
room, on the other hand, will affect the blood flow in your body and might
distract you from the hypnosis session. So it’s better to choose a comfortable
temperature that is neither too hot nor too cold. If you plan on being seated for a
long period of time during the session, this factor is very important.
