Part 2 - Induction
This stage of the session deals with the actual beginning of self-hypnosis and
how important it is that induction is achieved slowly and deliberately. An abrupt
introduction to the session can prevent its ultimate success, so it’s of paramount
importance that you take special note of the following information.
Close your eyes Closing your eyes has a calming effect and tends to slow the
world around you down. Closing your eyes is symbolic of shutting out the
world, because our eyes are what we use to see and connect with it, before any
other sense. Closing your eyes helps to reduce the visual distractions
presented by your physical setting. Nearly 50% of distractions can be
eliminated just by closing your eyes. This also helps you reduce light inflow.
Shutting down your thoughts This is the most crucial part of the session.
When you start a session, it is essential that you don’t allow any stray thoughts
to throw you off the intended course of your self-hypnosis session. They pose a
distraction that will cause you to wander from the purpose of the session.
However, it isn’t easy to keep the mind completely clear of thoughts. When you
first start self-hypnosis, you’ll find half a dozen thoughts just waltzing in and
out of your mind. What’s for dinner? Did I leave the iron plugged in? Don’t

be disheartened. It takes practice to completely eradicate competing thoughts.
Keep practicing and you will eventually master the tendency to stray from your
purpose. Once you have successfully removed all stray thoughts, you can move
on to the next step in your session.

Impartiality
The most effective way to manage stray thoughts you’re unable to remove from
your consciousness is to cast yourself as a passive observer, or uninvolved
onlooker, rather than a participant. Be aware of your thoughts, but don’t attach
any value or significance to them. 
They’re just your mind working, as it always does. Basically, you need to stand
by and watch the thoughts flow, rather than mentally comment or otherwise
react to them, or become annoyed by them. For example, if your favorite food is
the thought flowing through your mind, just let it go. Don't let it affect you.
Also, eat before a session to prevent thoughts of food from crossing your mind.
It’s also advisable to drink enough water to be properly hydrated, but not enough
to need to break off a session to visit the washroom. Impartiality with respect to
your thoughts is an effective way to prevent them from distracting you.
