About Self-hypnosis
When you view hypnosis as meditation, it is much easier to get a feel for what self-hypnosis is. One method is to sit quietly, breathe deeply, clear your mind, and simply envision positive images in order to eliminate negative thoughts or behaviors. Most likely, however, self-hypnosis is guided by a tape or CD that has been pre-recorded by a trained clinical hypnotherapist. These recordings often focus on correcting one particular trouble spot in your life, such as weight loss, chemical addiction, or insomnia.
