Take 10 to Relax

For optimal results, listen to a single hypnosis audio recording 3 times a day. Most audio recordings are designed to be less than 15 minutes in length and allow you to fit them into your daily routine as soon as you wake, then again around lunchtime, and right before bedtime. Another common time to listen is immediately at the end of your workday. Listening at the end of your day provides a nice segue and enables you to fully transition to your evening routine. – leaving behind so to speak the day at work and be fully present for your evening.

Anytime you’d like to, except when you are driving or operating heavy machinery. A good time to listen is right before bed, and again as soon as you wake up. This twice-per-day method has the added benefit of beginning and ending your day with the intention and change you want o make in your life. 

This is entirely up to you. Some people prefer the privacy and sound quality of headphones, while others prefer the comfort of speaker or the convenience of their phones’ speakerphone. Either way works just fine. Some find that using speaker allows them to move easily drift off to sleep without having to remove headphones.

Some people do find it hard to relax. This could be for a variety of reasons. But most people eventually are able to relax. One thing to keep in mind is that you don’t need to try so hard. Don’t expect to just immediately relax. Relaxation is a process, and some times it will be easier than other times. If your mind wanders, that’s normal. If you are aware of your mind wondering, gently return it to the sound of the recording. Self hypnosis and relaxation become easier. 

Not being a “visual” person is not a problem at all. The recording are designed to work with your preferred learning method – whether that’s visual, audible, or kinesthetic which are the primary three ways people learn and think. Most people are a combination of all three. What is important is that you simple allow yourself to ‘go with the flow’ go with the process. Relax and settle into the recording. 

If you can not picture yourself in your ‘minds’ eye’- that’s OK. Its’ actually common and normal to not be able to actually visualize something in your head. Some people can do this, and others can not. This is what makes us all unique. There’s no right, and no wrong here. Every person is different, every person learns their own way and each is unique  and good. – whatever way is be for you is correct. 

All you need to do is think about it, in what ever way works best for you. That’s why, as a hypnotist, I tell my clients to “think about imagine or any way you can” of the change they want to make. Imagining maybe be a picture in your mind, a feeling in your body, or a voice in your head. Any way that works best for you is right. Optimally, you would want to what we call “embody” all of your senses as resources for change. This means to use any and all forms of imagination and thinking about something – visually see it, hear it audible, and feel it. We also have the faculty of smell and taste as well, although we now know that the human body is not limited to those 5 sense either – we have other mental faculties that we have just not been trained to use. 

Just allow your own wonderful and creative mind to imagine in it’s own way that it know how. And notice how you get better over time at doing this!
