"Self-Hypnötic Concentration On An Internal Object," by Therial L. Bynum, M.D.

^«We all face problems in our lives.
Sometimes those critical situations just cannot be avoided.
It is what we do with them that makes or breaks us! Calisthenics, sports, and various forms of entertainment are all useful in distracting you and wearing you out,
still they do nothing to refresh you.^»

^«Even if you manage to forget those troubles while you are listening to music, or watching that movie, or jogging around the sidewalks of Rochester Minnesota;
still they manage to return as soon as you stop!
By using this Self-Hypnotic method of Hypnosis, you can relax, roll with the punches,
and maintain a steady state of
Inner Strength & Well Being.^»

Gymnastics Of Concentration

Concentrate On An Internal Object

THIS EXERCISE USES OBJECTs THAT ARE A PART OF ONE's PHYSICAL SELF, such as the tip of the tongue, or of the nose, or that central point on the top of the head, that special area of your forehead just above the nose and between the eyebrows, or the tip of the index finger on your right hand.

                  Exclude all other thoughts from your Mïnd and concentrate solely on that one object.   As you do this, begin to regulate your breathing.   As your know, relaxation is a physical function.   The muscles of your body use oxygen absorbed from the bloodstream.   Your bloodstream, in turn, extracts that oxygen osmotically from the air you breathe.   By regulating your breath, you regulate the oxygen available in your blood; your muscles extract the optimum amount and consequently are much more prone to relax for you than they might otherwise.

      If you have been exposed to yoga, you probably know that there are sorts of complex breath-regulation techniques.   The one that I recommend, called the 10/5 rhythm, is quite simple.
It essentially proceeds as follows :

Breathe IN to the mental count of ten ...
Hold your breath IN to the mental count of five ...
Breathe OUT to the mental count of ten ...
Hold your breath OUT to the mental count of five.
      The rate at which you should count varies from individual to individual.   Start by synchronizing it with your heartbeat.   If this does not seem to work, or is uncomfortable, vary the number, until you reach the rhythm that is most comfortable for you.
      Once you have established a comfortable rhythm of 10/5 breathing, let this continue for about two or three minutes; then begin the following concentration exercise.
                  It helps if, while doing this, you take IN your breath deeply from your diaphram through your nose.   Try to hold your breath for the count five, but don't force yourself.   Then exhale OUT through your mouth.   When you exhale, let your chest muscles relax completely.   As you continue this exercise, you will notice your level of mental awareness begins to rise to a heightened sensitivity that you had not experienced before !

      Now that you have prepared yourself in this usual manner, you may continue by concentrating on your sense of touch.   Feel your consciousness withdrawing from the rest of the body to the spot you've chosen, say that special area just between the eyebrows, that we call the glabella.   With your eyes closed, begin to touch that area with your right index finger.   Now very lightly brush the tip of your finger up and down over that spot, so that you feel your finger's movement.
        Hold still now!   Close your eyes and keep your consciousness there.   Think about it, that space, and the sensitivity of it to the touch of your finger.   Notice the sensitivity of the glabella, that place between your eyesbrows, and how it increase as you continue to lightly touch it.   Now begin to slowly remove your finger from that spot and notice the pulsations in the glabella after your finger is returned to your side.   Notice the subtle changes in its sensitivity as the blood flows through the area.
      If you are very conscious of that spot, you can begin to notice changes in the temperature, as the flow of blood changes.   If you place your finger just in front of that space, but without touching it, you will notice that the area begins to tingle.   And with your eyes remaining closed, you can actually feel that finger, even though it has not actually come in physical contact with that spot.

      You can make quite a game of this exercise in concentration and perception, by thinking you are just that spot (that glabella) and nothing else.   From that spot you can feel the room around you.   You can sense the presence of objects in the room, and notice how the temperature changes as your consciousness grazes over them, like the door, or the window, or the table, or the chair.   Your goal here is to reach the deepest level of absorption in thought and relaxation that you possibly can.   Remember that your ultimate goal is to reach Level 22 in Hypnosis.

      Here again, do not continue on too long, for there is more that you must do.   And when you decide to stop, do so by allowing your consciousness to gently flow back into your whole head and so to the rest of your body.
