Sleep Hypnosis for Insomnia
Sleeping should be something that is easy. Something we do on a regular basis, in fact, we are supposed to sleep 7-8 hours a night. But, it’s not always easy for some people. They lay in bed tossing and turning at night, their minds racing with worries and long to-do lists. It may be that you have a hard time falling asleep, or it may be that you fall asleep quickly only to awaken later and can’t fall asleep again. The minutes turn to hours until morning arrives. If you are someone who suffers from insomnia, you should try sleep hypnosis for insomnia.
Sometimes insomnia may be a medical problem or chemical side effect. Or, insomnia may be a symptom of stress and/or depression. Some studies have shown that insomnia is closely linked to the levels of emotional stress and often tied to lifestyle changes. Insomnia may most often be caused by thoughts, and not behaviors or physical problems. Whatever the reason, getting less than 5-6 hours of sleep a night can be cause for disaster. Insomnia can lead to crazy behavior, severe drowsiness, thinking problems, emotional issues, lowered immune system, and even weight gain.
Your subconscious mind is what helps your body function and regulates your automatic behaviors. This is why hypnosis can be successful for insomnia, because it also uses your subconscious mind. Hypnosis helps you to access this through deep relaxation and visualization techniques.
For example: The four stages of sleep are:
Thinking – When we got to bed, we start to think about the day’s events or what will happen the next day, etc.
Fantasy – Whether you know it or not, when you are in bed and thinking, your thoughts eventually turn to thoughts of relaxation.
Hypnoidal – As the mind and body relax, the muscles release tension and then you enter a light stage of hypnosis. You are still conscious but will experience distortion and some amnesia. This stage must be entered in order to reach the last stage. “Drifting” from one to the other.
Unconscious sleep – Not consciously aware of anything going on around.
Sleep hypnosis can help you to obtain each stage of sleep. It is a technique of deep relaxation. A hypnotherapist can make suggestions, help you create goals, set your mind at ease and relieve stress and even enhance confidence and modify behaviors. The hypnotherapist will also be able to teach you self hypnosis techniques so that you can help yourself sleep in your own home.
If you are an insomniac, you have probably tried many different solutions such as seeing a doctor, taking medications, attending sleep clinics and possibly even natural remedies. Sleep hypnosis for insomnia can help you avoid all this other stuff and give you the results you have been waiting for. You will finally be able to get the rest you need.

As I have been doing research of hypnotherapy, I have come across the term NLP quite often. I wasn’t absolutely sure what this meant, so I decided I would find out. What is the difference between Hypnotherapy and NLP, and how and why do therapists use them together?
NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Neuro is based on the idea that the way we behave stems from our neurological processes of the five senses, sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste. Lingusitic is based on the idea that we use language and other non verbal communication to communicate with others. The programming part refers to ways that we can choose to organize our ideas, behaviors and actions to produce the results that we want. So, in short, NLP is the relationship between how we think, communicate and behave. By using NLP we can focus on the thoughts that influence our behaviors in order to improve the quality of our lives.
Hypnotherapy, as I have previously discussed, is when hypnosis is used for therapeutic purposes. It can be used to help cure bad habits and behaviors as well as to help with anxiety, depression, and even pain. Hypnotherapy can help to change patterns of bad behavior to good behaviors.
When combined, hypnotherapy and NLP can result in amazing outcomes. Willpower becomes unnecessary as you find yourself changing in beneficial ways. There are many hypnotherapy/NLP techniques and approaches that have been proven useful in helping people to change their thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
If you are struggling with smoking, weight loss, anxiety, depression, and much more, you should check into hypnotherapy and NLP. It may just be the answer you are looking for.

Hypnosis is used for many different things and in different ways. Hypnotherapists are trained to use various hypnosis techniques to help people. Some of the more common and effective hypnosis techniques used by hypnotherapists these days are listed below.
Age Regression Hypnosis
Age regression hypnosis is a common technique used to access the memories of a patient. During age regression hypnosis, the hypnotherapist gives the patient suggestions that allow them to revisit thoughts or feelings that they have had at certain points of their lives. It is helpful for a person to remember things from their past in order to realize why they may have a habit or problem that they are trying to conquer.
Guided Imagery Hypnosis
Another hypnosis technique which is an effective way in helping patients relax and remain calm is guided imagery. During this technique, the patient is told to imagine a new experience, which is carefully explained in order to relax the patient’s mind. Guided imagery helps to direct a patient’s imagination in order to help them.
Parts Therapy Hypnosis
Parts therapy hypnosis is a successful technique in helping individuals get to the bottom of their problems and issues. When using parts therapy hypnosis, the hypnotherapist has the patient analyze and break down their problems into specific parts. After doing this, the hypnotherapist is able to identify the parts in which there are problems and can then suggest what to be next in order to resolve these problems.
Repetition Hypnosis
When using this technique the hypnotherapist makes suggestions regarding the changes that they need to make and repeats them over and over. The repetitiveness helps the patient to be more receptive to the change.
Confusion Hypnosis
In confusion hypnosis, the hypnotherapist gives odd indirect forms of suggestion in order to confuse the patient, which makes them more likely to respond to the direct forms of suggestions used in the other hypnosis techniques.
