7. At the end of the quiz, you will not only get your personalized results, but top hypnotherapist, Marisa Peer (author of Mindvalley’s life-changing Uncompromised Lifeprogram), will help to guide you on how to begin rewiring that area of yourlife. She will provide you with insights and positive affirmations/mantras to use during your self- hypnosis. It’s important to keep your intention direct (“I am…”), powerful (“….the creator of my reality…”), and radiating with positive emotion (“…and believe in my ability to change my behavior.”). However, your mind doesn’t think in words; it thinks in images and feelings. So, make sure your intention provokes these two criticalthings. Phrase your intention as if you have already accomplished it — youareconfident. Imagine yourself being confident, feel it. What does confidence look like on you? What does it feel like? How does it radiateoutward? Incorporate as many of your senses as you can. You don’t need to recall your intention word- for-word if the imagery and emotion is powerful. You can write your intention down (or say it out loud) to get your mind brewing these powerfulsensations. Here’s an example for addressing socialanxiety: I am the master of my thoughts andemotions. I can enter a state of pure calm whenever I choose. I choose to breathe calmness deeply from mybeing. The source of my calmness is a golden light, located in mybelly. I shine with confidence as I effortlessly interact with all kinds ofpeople.

8. 3.Relaxation Intention set? You are now ready to learn how to hypnotize yourself, let’s get intoit! Focus on your breath; breathedeeply. Clear your mind as you deeply inhale. Hear and feel the air enter through your nostrils, filling your lungs, and expanding into yourbelly. Exhale fully through your mouth, feeling yourself relaxingdeeper. Allow your breath to consume your senses and awareness — observe the rhythmic pattern, the movement of your abdomen filling and emptying, and any tingling sensations in your fingertips, toes, andnose. With every breath, allow your mind to become clearer and your body to become more relaxed.

9. While you do this, roll your eyes upward into your head as if you are looking at your third eye. Create slight eye strain and relax your eyelids. If you feel your eyelids fluttering, you are doing itright. This seemingly strange eye position helps to induce the hypnoticstate. 4.Actualization Once you’ve reached a relaxed state and have achieved a silent mind, it’s time to go deeper… The actualization step deepens your level of hypnosis and primes your subconsciousto visualize in the next step. There are two popular methods of inducing this deeper state ofrelaxation. The “Staircase”Method Close your eyes and imagine yourself walking down a staircase, counting down each step from 1 to 10 (or 10 to 1, your choice). Double your relaxation and lightness with everystep. With every step, turn awarenessinward. By step 10, you should be drifting into your subconscious — you should be in an extremely calm, relaxed state ofmind. The “Creating A Scene”Method Close your eyes and keep your awareness on your breath. With each breath, become more relaxed. Now, imagine a natural setting you find peaceful, perhaps an evergreen forest. Place yourself in the forest, and continue breathing with awareness and increasingrelaxation. Imagine aspects of this forest setting in and becoming more vivid and saturated— the aroma of the air, the moss between your toes, the color and texture of thetrees…

10. Continue to construct this mental picture until it fills your sensations and you feel completely in this serenescene. 5.Transformation You’ve madeit. You have successfully learned how to hypnotize yourself— your imagination is awakened (and focused) and your awareness is entirely internal (you’ve tuned out your physical reality). Let’s begin with the fun part — the visualization. Visualization is the crux of transformation in selfhypnosis. Your brain likes and responds to images that make a picture. — MarisaPeer Start by simply visualizing yourself. Use any imagery that you feel has a strong connection to your identity. Perhaps you see yourself within the peaceful space you created (in the previous step). Or, perhaps you envision yourself as a bright light. Or, maybe you just imagine yourself as a floating point of awareness (that’s pretty rad,too). Recalling your intention, begin to imagine the defining elements of your best-self: positive, confident,loving… Reaffirm your intention with positive “I am” statements — I am positive. I am confident. I am productive. I amloving. Take your “I am” statements personally — they define youridentity. Now begin to visualize being your best self with these beautiful, radiating characteristics. If this is difficult to visualize, remember, you’ve always been who you’ve most imagined yourself tobe.

11. Yourmindthinksin Really feel your best self. pictures, so createpositive imageswith emotional value. Dive deeper into being your best self. What are you feeling? How are you thinking and behaving? What are you accomplishing? What are you attracting? How does it feel to be aroundyou? The more you reinforce a self-image, the deeper ingrained it becomes into your mind’s programming, and the faster it will manifest in yourreality. Imagine this stage as planting, watering, and nurturing the seeds that will flourish into your highest, most incredibleself. 6.Exit Once you feel efficient and wholesome in your hypnosis, it’s time to step back into the “real world.” You can exit hypnosis in manyways. Setting an alarm is one way, just be sure you give yourself enough time to be thorough in your hypnosis. An alarm will help you keep track of how long you have been in hypnosis (time is a funny thing in the hypnotic state) and can pull you back into waking consciousness. It’s important to set your alarm tone to something soothing so that you aren’tstartled. If you like the idea of choosing when to end your hypnosis, fret not — your conscious mind is still aware enough to exit hypnosis on your own. You will have full ability to choose to when toleave. The benefit of leaving hypnosis by choice is that you can deeply explore your subconscious and spend as much time as you wantvisualizing. You can exit your self-induced hypnosis on command by using a pre-set wake up phrase such as “I am ready to enter waking consciousness” or by slowly counting backward from5.

12. Falling into sleep is another way to exit hypnosis. This can be a good method to dream and explore further depths of your subconscious mind. However, falling asleep can interfere with how well you consciously remember details of yourvisualization.
