*2.3.10 Body scan*

Body scan is a popular method employed in self-hypnosis. Scanning begins from top of the body with your eyes closed, scan down slowly from the head to the feet. Every sensation should be noticed, your breath expanding the ribcage, chair on your back, the feet on the ground, each finger extended and the pain in your elbow. This process should be repeated from the bottom to the top, the scanning up and down should be continued until you enter trance. Other hypnotic induction techniques such as countdown breathing and relaxation can be stacked with body scan to increase effectiveness [25].
