Interested in reaping the many rewards that come from a regular self-hypnosis practice, but not quite sure how to hypnotize yourself?
If you’d like to learn how, check out the below infographic.
As you can see, self-hypnosis is a lot easier than you might imagine, all it takes is some practice and dedication on your behalf.
It’s a little like going to the gym – at first your muscles don’t have much stamina, but as you continue to train, they get stronger and stronger, and what once seemed difficult, now you’re able to accomplish with ease.
Learning how to hypnotize yourself is much the same – it might seem uncomfortable or even impossible to begin with, but with time, you’ll find it easier and easier… and eventually you’ll begin to wonder how you ever got through your week without spending some time going inwards.
So check it out!
And if you’d like to really master the skill of how to hypnotize yourself and essentially make a quantum leap into your personal transformation (i.e. make some serious life changes), get your copy of the Beyond Self Hypnosis online training program with one of the world’s top hypnotists, Igor Ledochowski.

Hi! I have a chemistry test on Tuesday and I really need to pass since I failed the class, I chose to hypnotize myself as a last resource bc I’m scared I could fail again.
Does this work on the first try even if I’m a newbie? Or do you have a link to an hypnosis for passing a test?

Hi Andrew,
Thank you for your question! Hypnosis is not an exact science, so we can’t really say when you’ll be able to master the techniques taught in our programs. It will take time, practice, and determination.
Hi…I wanted to know does self hypnosis helps to reduce depression, anxiety, negative thoughts, delusions ? If it does, then to what extend. Does it help to increase memory power, determination, self esteem? Please let me know how it works to on the things I’ve mentioned.

Hi Pushkar!
Thank you for your feedback; we will forward it to Igor.
I have already used self hypnosis to stop smoking after about forty five years . It was quite easy however I wasn’t able to convince my wife to do so also and she subsequently died of lung cancer after my kids and I nursed her for 11 years. I now still have to overcome a negative (guilt) complex of not trying hard enough to convince her to give up. Any suggestion is welcome.
Hi Alfred. I am very sorry to hear about your wife. Hypnosis is not an exact science, so what works for some (you) may not work for others (your wife). You cannot blame yourself for not trying hard enough to convince her; in order for hypnosis to work she had to “want” to stop smoking. We wish you and your family all the best.
Thank you for how to hypnotise ourselves!!! enjoyed this simple explanation
You’re welcome Sally!
Thank you for publishing this! Since I learned hypnosis is bypassing the critical factor to speak to the unconscious mind, I never thought I could do self hypnosis without making my own MP3 to listen to… until it was explained to me just a couple of weeks ago with this easy method which I am glad to have explained so well in writing… because I always thought before I learned this “how can I by pass my own critical factor and still be consciously giving verbal suggestions to my own unconscious mind?” Now I know how.
That’s great Deborah! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
I have exactly the same question: “How can I by pass my own critical factor and still be consciously giving verbal suggestions to my own unconscious mind?” I am afraid that I am still not clear on that. When I start thinking about my affirmations, I am switching my conscious mind on again. What am I missing here?
I like the way you took the various steps to do self hypnosis. I do this every night just before bed but I tell myself that I can drift down into a restful sleep and that my unconscious can find ways for me to achieve my goals…etc. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome! 🙂
I am so wondering why….I start my self hypno session, and when I am starting to feel really comfortable, relaxed and peaceful…my body will start to suddenly itch in different places …tiny itchy spots which I have to attend otherwise I can’t continue, and it is so disruptive….any suggestions?
Hi there Gaby.
I would suggest that first of all you simply use a little moisturiser – just in case areas of your skin are a little dry.
Secondly, moving around, itching etc do not have to disturb the self-hypnosis. You can tell yourself that each time you attend to an itch, you feel all of your skin becoming smoother and more comfortable which makes you feel even more relaxed.
You could also try using visualisation, imagine a soothing cream over your body as you relax.
Be imaginative and creative. You may be more aware and sensitive whilst in hypnosis and the more your mind focuses on itches negatively, the more it will find for you. Focus on the opposite in the positive and see how that progresses for you.
All the best
Matisse Martin
Hi Gaby! In a self hypnosis You become more awear of Your body and start noticing things You usually are not awear of. That’s fine. Just aknowledge the existance of itching (or any other discomfort) and gently return to the process of self hypnosis. Like Matisse said, imagine that everything You hear or feel will make you go deeper into hypnosis.
Hi Zoran! Thanks for writing in! 🙂
