Self-suggestion and self-programming are methods that allow you to use the power of thoughts to achieve certain goals, such as falling asleep. Here are some basic principles of self-suggestion and self-hypnosis:

What is self-suggestion?

Self-suggestion is a process where a person consciously repeats certain phrases or thoughts to influence their subconscious and behavior. It can be used for various purposes, such as reducing stress, motivating oneself, or promoting sleep.

How does self-hypnosis work?

Self-hypnosis is a technique that allows you to reach a deep state of relaxation and introduce positive thoughts or affirmations into your subconscious. Here are some steps on how to do it:

1. 

Relaxation: Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Lie down or sit comfortably, close your eyes, and start breathing deeply.

2. 

Visualization: Imagine yourself in a calm and safe place. It could be a beach, a forest, or any other place where you feel good.

3. 

Affirmations: Repeat positive phrases such as "I am calm," "I fall asleep easily and quickly." If you want to fall asleep, you can repeat "Sleep, sleep, sleep."

4. 

Deepening: Imagine descending stairs or sinking into a soft cloud. Each step or sinking helps you relax even more.

5. 

Returning: When you are ready, slowly return to a conscious state by counting from 1 to 5 and telling yourself that you will wake up feeling fully rested.

Benefits and Applications

Self-hypnosis can help address various issues such as insomnia, anxiety, pain, or even help quit smoking. It is a safe and natural way to improve your quality of life.
