Since I began to use self hypnosis regularly, I’ve noticed that I’ve remained relatively healthy even during the peak cold and flu season. My experience shows that it has helped me to eliminate at best, or at worst, minimize the effects of these perennial visitors. The best part is, you can learn to do it too!!

It seems as if the Swine Flu is everywhere on the news and in conversation so I want to remind you that more you listen to and see any communication, the greater the chance the suggestions that communication may be giving you has of lodging in your subconscious mind. Why is this? Remember:

Suggestion => Idea/Belief => Emotion => Action/Behavior => Result

In all cases, it’s best to suggest to yourself the state of having what you want, and to saturate your subconscious mind with those thoughts. So if you “Don’t want to be sick”, focus on already being “healthy”.

DO IT YOURSELF. If you have my course “Automatic Success Attractor”, follow the routine you’ve learned to put yourself into self hypnosis. If not, use these simple instructions: Sit or lay back and make yourself comfortable. Close your eyes and take in three deep breaths through your nose, exhaling slowly through your mouth each time. Imagine all the muscles in your body relaxing, one at a time, starting from your toes all the way up to your head. Then slowly count backwards from 10 to 1.

(The following suggestions are from my colleague and teacher Dick Sutphen)

Now imagine yourself completely surrounded by a bright white God light, and start to give yourself suggestions: “I am surrounded in a white God light and fully protected from all things seen and unseen, all forces and all elements. My immune-system is operating at a peak level, fully protecting me. I now focus the power of my all-powerful mind upon maintaining a healthy body. I have a strong, balanced immune system. The healing light within nourishes my body and mind. I find it easy to adhere to a diet and lifestyle that supports a healthy body and mind. I experience a sense of security and express a positive outlook which helps to maintain a healthy body. I am balanced and harmonious, and everyday in every way I become a little healthier. And these suggestions have been communicated to every level of my body and mind … and so it is.”

Add additional suggestions but make sure they phrased in a positive way as if you already had what you desire. At the end of the session, count yourself up from one to five and say, “Wide awake. Wide awake.”

There you have it. If you need any guidance or have any questions, be sure to post them here on the blog.
