1) Continue doing Step 1, the Pre-Sleep Technique you learned last week.

2) In addition, you are to do the following: Twice a day – once in the morning or at noon, and once in the early evening – you will hypnotize yourself, stay in hypnosis for 2 – 3 minutes, and then wake yourself up.

Here’s how:

Sit in a comfortable chair with your back supported.

Focus your attention – effortlessly- on a spot opposite you, slightly above eye level.

Take 3 deep breaths – slowly. As you exhale your third breath, hold it for 3 full seconds as you count backward: 3…2…1

Close your eyes, exhale, RELAX and allow yourself to go into a deep, sound, hypnotic rest.

3) You are to remain in hypnosis for approximately 2 – 3 minutes by counting down slowly from twenty-five (25) to one (1).
(NOTE: It will help if you allow yourself to visualize or imagine each number being written on a blackboard or shown on a computer as you count backward.)

4) To awaken, just count forward from one (1) to three (3) – and you will awaken refreshed and alert, ready to go about your business in an energetic way.

5) Do this exercise twice a day for seven (7) days, after which you will be ready to give yourself beneficial suggestions.
