How to Create a Self Hypnosis Recording

If you worry about listening to hypnosis recordings by people you don't know because they might have "subliminal instructions hidden within them to make you do things," or you simply have trouble doing self-hypnosis on your own, try making your free self hypnosis recording and see what a difference it makes when you listen to your own recorded voice.
Generally, you don't need to be in a deep trance state to achieve a positive outcome. Being in a trance state is something like a 'day-dream', it's not the same as being in a deep sleep. Often, you will be aware of the things going on around you.

Steps

1. Write or acquire the following free hypnosis scripts and then record them in this order listed below. (If you wish to write your own scripts it would be best if you were a qualified hypnotherapist - however, there are many free professional public domain scripts available, check the links at the bottom of the page. As you will be the listener, you will not need an elaborate introduction telling you what the recording is about - if you are not comfortable and at ease with listening to yourself then you might need professional therapy that is beyond the scope of this article! You will need a 'disclaimer' introduction as set out below.)
   
2. Introduction: Just in case some one should listen to your recording at a time when it is not advisable, ALWAYS include this introduction at the start of the recording. "This recording is of a hypnotic nature and should not be used while driving a car or operating machinery."
   
3. Source the following scripts:
   
   • Induction Script - this is the initial relaxation script. An induction is to help you 'induce' relaxation. For example, the script may ask you to close your eyes and relax your scalp muscles. In this case, (& there are other styles of induction scripts,) the script may start at the scalp, to muscles at the back of the head, the muscles around the eyes, cheeks, the jaw, neck... all the way down to the tips of the toes. Just follow the suggestions, and allow yourself to relax.
     
   • Deepening Script - allows you to relax deeper than you were during the induction phase. There may be suggestions such as 'as every minute passes', or 'every noise you hear allows you to relax deeper than before'. A popular deepening script is to 'imagine three steps that take you down... and with the first step you take, now, relax much more than you were just a few moments ago...'
     
   • Subject Script - This script will have suggestions to assist you to achieve your objective, whatever it may be. Look for positive suggestions that work with your imagination, as opposed to ones that say you will do 'this' or you will do 'that'. Generally, positive suggestions such as imagine yourself in a situation where you are a non-smoker is preferable to "cigarettes make you feel ill" - while it may work to help stop you smoking, it may also cause a reaction when, for example, you might be on a crowded train and smell cigarette smoke on a person nearby...
     
   • Awakening script - This script will bring you back to full awareness. An awakening script ofen involves a count from one to five, and to allow the 'energy' to return. Should you record one such as this, when you count 'up' from one to five make sure you increase the energy in your voice so that you come back to full conscious awareness full of energy and vigour. (There is an alternative to the 'Awakening Script' and that is by recording a script to enable you to drift off to sleep. This may be a preferable alternative for those who are doing a self hypnosis recording to assist with sleep or insomnia).
     
4. Record the Introduction and the 4 types of scripts above to suitable equipment in a quiet environment. (Check tips and warnings.)
   
5. 
   
6. Once you have recorded them play your recording back to yourself. Test it out by finding a quiet, comfortable place; close your eyes and simply follow your suggestions.
   
7. 
   
8. Remember, you have recorded the script for you so allow yourself to really get involved.
   

Tips

• While this is not strictly 'self-hypnosis' it is 'self' hypnosis!
  
• When Recording, be aware of:
  
  • The use of suggestions - Make sure you have a suitable script for what you are trying to achieve.
    
  • Your tone of voice - ensure you sound calm and confident.
    
  • Your speed or pace - don't race, it's ok to proceed slowly, in fact it is probably preferable.
    
  • The inflection of your voice - don't drone on, but don't over do it, either.
    
  • The emotion in your voice - too little will appear cold, too much comical.
    
  • Overall, your presentation is to create relaxation.
    
  • Add energy to your voice during the "Awakening Script".
    
  • Practice makes perfect.
    

Warnings

• Should you add music, use something relaxing.
  
• On the other hand, hearing the same music can become repetitive, distracting and annoying.
  
• If planning on doing anything more with your recordings (such as sharing or selling them) you must not use music unless you have purchased the rights to specifically use it. More information on copyright:
  
• When recording be aware of background noise - you will hear it on playback. For some people, certain types of white noise can actually enhance the hypnosis session, for others it will be an irritation.
  
• Self hypnosis is not intended to be a substitute for seeking medical advice or visiting: a medical practitioner, clinical hypnotherapist or any other relevant health or alternative health therapist. If you are receiving treatment for clinical depression, bi-polar, schizophrenia, or any other diagnosed disorder, you must discuss using hypnotic scripts from this, or any other site with your health practitioner before you commence any hypnosis or self hypnosis sessions.
  
• Be VERY careful when using scripts for eliminating pain. Never remove pain permanently from an area. The pain is there for a reason, and if you can't feel pain you may end up doing some serious damage without even knowing it. Consult a doctor for advice, but it's always best to leave pain management to a certified hypnotherapist.
