Anxiety is one such phenomenon that every one faces at some point of time in his/her life. Self Hypnosis Techniques help you to handle that anxiety as much as possible and help you to lead a stress free life.
Are you one of those white-knuckled passengers who is not actually afraid of flying, just the take-offs and landings? Perhaps you are an effective employee or a truly diligent manager but then you get "the memo." You have to introduce the next kick-off campaign at the annual company conference and you suddenly feel as if you are under a giant microscope. Maybe your particular trigger for anxiety is the dread of death. Your concern might be centered on your own demise or your loved ones. In nearly 20 years of private practice, I have never been surprised by what terrifies an otherwise rational adult.
You are not alone, with sweaty palms, pounding pulse, queasy stomach, ringing or buzzing in the ears, dizziness and even shortness of breath. For many people it has nothing to do with whether they are alone or in a crowd, when the anxiety reaches its zenith. It seems as if the whole world shrinks as you and your greatest fears loom larger than life. It does not seem to matter if the anxiety-producing fear is real or imaginary. The symptoms can be equally debilitating. Loss of sleep, compulsive overeating or loss of appetite are common results of anxious thoughts and can lead to more serious health risks.
Now you can take back control of your life, using the power of your own mind with self-hypnosis. You can rest assured that you have the ability to use self-hypnosis to defeat anxiety. We all tap into a kind of mind-over-matter when we feel a head cold starting up the day before a big deadline or exam. We manage to put those annoying symptoms on hold until we meet the demand, and then we really get sick, taking to our bed.
Here are five steps to use self-hypnosis for anxiety relief:
1. Silence all telephones (land/cell), as well as all media (i.e., music, computers, pagers, etc.)
2. Get your body comfortable in a chair or recliner, using pillows, as needed. You may want to use a small cover, as many people experience a slight cooling in body temperature as they relax deeply.
3. With your eyes closed, use your imagination to pretend you can feel soothing, golden massage oil that flows, with gravity, from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. Moreover, everywhere this oil flows, it leaves behind either a warm or a cooling sensation (your choice, depending on weather, season or bodily needs for comfort that moment).
4. Next, behind your closed eyes, imagine that you can see a blackboard. Now see yourself picking up a brand new piece of chalk (any color you would like) and a brand new eraser. Begin writing down your numbers on the blackboard, starting with the number 100. Write them very large, and as soon as you have finished each number, erase it completely, relax your mind a little more and go down one more number. Sometimes, depending on your stress level that day, you may need to make the countdown even more distracting to your conscious/waking mind by going down the scale on the even or odd numbers.
5. As you drift into a state of comfortable relaxation, you will see an elegant white door appear in your mind's eye. Go ahead and open the door. On the other side of that threshold is the most beautiful, inviting space you can imagine. It might be an oceanside beach, complete with warm, soft, white sand and a gentle sea breeze. Or perhaps you will see your own secret garden with a shade tree and a hammock or chaise lounge. Just allow yourself to go through that doorway and find your rest in a heightened state of peacefulness. As you let yourself sink into the experience, you are free to make this place precisely the way you want it to be. Are there trees? Can you see boats on the horizon? Would you like to hear songbirds or a bubbling fountain? Be sure to use your own subconscious mind to guide your additions, such as sensory clues or visual stimuli. Do you feel the warmth of the sun or smell the blooming flowers? Can you distinguish the various shades of green in the leaves or the subtle variations between the color of the sea and the sky?

Steps
1. Get comfortable. Get as comfortable as possible, but not so much so that you'll fall asleep. Try lying on the floor arms at your side or sitting in a straight backed chair with your hands in your lap. If you have time, close your eyes and focus on relaxing each part of your body one by one starting with your head and working down to your toes.
2. Start the journey. Hypnotherapy helps to stop anxiety by creating an experience of deep calm you can return to any time with a simple trigger. Begin by picturing the most relaxing place you can imagine. It might be a warm beach or a babbling forest stream. Whatever your scene, make sure your whole body and mind can feel at ease there.
3. Descending step-by-step into your scene and experience of relaxation. The most effective way is to record yourself narrating this descent so you can listen to it at this time. With a little bit of focus, however, you can also do this part in your mind. Be sure to take your time and don't rush through any of the steps.
4. Count down. Picture yourself in a peaceful garden. The experience can be as vivid as you like since it will help prepare you for the journey to the truly special place you visualized earlier. Then imagine a set of ten steps leading down from the garden to your special place. Take each step slowly counting each one as you go. With every step tell yourself that you are getting more and more relaxed. The key to using hypnotherapy to stop anxiety is to take your time and let your body and mind settle into the calm and peace you are creating.
5. Create a trigger. By now you've reached the tenth garden step and arrived at your perfect paradise. You are completely safe here and can return whenever you want. Take some time to hear, see and feel the deep peace of this place whether it's the wind in the trees or the water lapping on the beach. Then put it into words. "I am peaceful, happy and perfectly in control of my life. I easily cope with everything that happens." Use your own words if you need to. Then, when you're ready, pinch the fold of skin between your thumb and first finger on your right hand. If you're pregnant, pinch your thumb instead. Then repeat, "I am peaceful, happy and perfectly in control of my life. I easily cope with everything that happens. I can relax at will, simply by pinching my right hand and thinking of this place."
6. Come back. When you're ready, imagine yourself returning to the steps with the awareness that you can come back here any time you want. Count slowly from ten down to zero as you climb the steps and let the sounds of the everyday world return to you. When you finish counting you should feel calm and relaxed.
7. The next time you want to stop anxiety or a panic attack, just pinch the fold of skin between your thumb and first finger on your right hand and you'll return to the calm and peace of the special place you've created for yourself.
