Self-hypnosis?

[wasup]

Does anyone have any methods on hypnotizing yourself? I think this is how you would do it... correct me when I'm wrong... [list]Get in a comfortable postition in bed. Start Relaxing Get in some sort of state of relaxation (how would you do this?) Tell yourself to do certain things[list] That was a very vauge description but I still have no idea how to do it... Wouldn't you have to use WILD somehow?

i know how to self hypnotize yourself, i read a whole freakin book on it. 1. well, first, get in a comfortable position where you wont be disturbed, 2. then tell yourself that you are going to start relaxing. (you dont have to talk out loud to yourself, you can just think in your head.) tell yourself that your left foot is relaxing, then tell yourself that your left leg is relaxing, then your right foot, then your right leg, then your torso and so on, until you have done your whole body. it is helpful to do this over and over again if you dont feel relaxed enough. 3. then tell yourself that you are going to get more relaxed and start to fall asleep, and you will be deeper and deeper as you count down from 20. it helps to picture yourself going down an escalator, or floating down on a cloud or something. tell yourself that you will be deeper and deeper asleep as you count down, and as you move further down on the escalator/cloud, etc. as you count, tell yourself that you are getting deeper to sleep every few numbers: "20, i am starting to fall asleep, 19, 18, 17, i am going deeper and deeper, 16, 15, 14, i am falling deeper to sleep, 13, 12... "and so on. you can do this over again as much as you want. for beginners you dont really feel any different, other than very relaxed (be careful not to actually fall asleep!) but when you are in this state, you can tell yourself stuff, and it is more effective. eg: "tonight i will have a lucid dream" stuff like that. after you are done say to yourself "i will now count up from five, and as i count i will become more and more awake, and more aware, and when i get to five i will feel refreshed and awake. "one, i am waking up, two, i am becoming more aware, three, i am becoming more and more awake..."

I've used the above technique many times to enter Alpha state. It works very well! Once you are in Alpha, you can to some extent reprogram yourself. One thing you might want to look into is Brainwave Entrainment. Take a look at this website: http://www.bwgen.com/
