Are you
going to bed around the time that everyone else is waking
up? It might be cold comfort to know that you are among the
20 million Americans who suffer from insomnia. If dark
circles, a groggy head and nights spent lying awake have
become standard for you, a hypnosis insomnia program could
bring the relief you need.
No doubt
you feel you've tried everything to fall asleep, including a
nightcap, over-the-counter-sleep aids or even highly
addictive sleeping pills. All lead to the same end: You
build up a tolerance, your "sleep" isn't restful
and the next morning you felt drugged and lethargic. Self
hypnosis insomnia treatment can bring safe, effective sleep
without side-effects.
A lot of
people mistakenly believe that hypnosis is
sleep, but effective hypnosis insomnia programs will
only work if you are awake but in a deep state of
relaxation. In this state, your unconscious mind is more
open and accepting to suggestions. In the most successful
programs, post-hypnotic suggestions are given to you to
eliminate stress and set up a positive expectation of
restful sleep. Hypnosis for insomnia is frequently effective
after the first session because we tend to get what we
expect, so you will sleep soundly all night long.
After
thoroughly relaxing, the next step in self hypnosis
insomnia treatment is understanding what compels you to
suffer sleep disturbance. Another key component of a
hypnosis insomnia course involves looking at small changes
to your nightly ritual that will have the greatest effect on
your ability to quickly fall asleep for sound and restful
slumber.
At the
heart of a successful hypnosis insomnia program lies
Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP. Powerful NLP
techniques can be used to "flip" things around in
the unconscious mind so that thoughts and experiences that
previously triggered stressful feelings will actually cause
relaxation instead.
Relieving
stress is paramount for a hypnosis insomnia treatment to
work, and NLP visualizations can train the unconscious mind
to automatically extinguish disturbing thoughts and feelings
of anxiety and stress. These peaceful feelings stay with you
through the day so that when it is time for bed, you can
fall asleep quickly and rest throughout the entire night
without interruption.
In
addition to using effective NLP techniques in hypnosis
insomnia programs, Ericksonian Hypnotic Metaphors are also
helpful. Essentially, a qualified hypnotist creates a
metaphor, or a parable, that directs your unconscious mind
to calm your thoughts©especially at night©to eliminate
any fear or anxiety about lying awake.
To
permanently overcome insomnia, learning to relax with
self-hypnosis is imperative, but it is not always possible
to listen to a CD or watch a DVD.
Learning how to give yourself post-hypnotic
suggestions anytime, anywhere to bring about deep relaxation
can easily be accomplished. That's right©you can
successfully use self hypnosis insomnia suggestions any time
you need them.
Self
hypnosis insomnia programs cannot harm you in any way. A
hypnotist cannot make you do or say anything that you don't
wish to. You remain completely in control, and there is no
"hypnotized feeling" that you have to work
through. In fact, the worst that could possibly happen is
that you may fall asleep for 30 minutes or so©that's the
goal of hypnosis for insomnia in the first place!
Hypnosis
Treatment instructions for insomnia
can be directives to the unconscious mind to use pleasant
memories and fantasies to generate relaxation and and
pleasant dreams. You will feel peaceful at bedtime and to
have a positive expectation of sound and restful sleep. And
that positive expectation will make you fall asleep quickly,
and the dreams will make you sleep soundly and restfully all
through the night.
Further,
hypnosis programs are highly effective; it has been found
that all normal people are hypnotizable to a greater or
lesser extent. However, people with less than a 70 IQ or who
are in an active state of psychosis generally are not
hypnotizable. Most senile people are also difficult or
impossible to hypnotize. As with any move to improve the
quality of your life, your motivation is paramount to
success.
Everyone
responds differently to each type of hypnosis, so be sure
your hypnosis insomnia program offers several different
methods, like NLP and Ericksonian
Metaphors, to bring you to the results that you seek.
Most hypnosis insomnia program participants find
their sleep issues are cured by hypnosis, and insomnia
simply fades away like a bad dream.
