How To Hypnotize

Hypnosis is a light “trance”–a state somewhere between sleeping and waking. People in a hypnotic trance are typically very focused on one stimulus to the exclusion of others. People in a hypnotic trance are also somewhat suggestible, although they are by no means unable to control themselves and continue to bear full responsibility for their actions.

There are several ways to induce a hypnotic trance. Some of the more popular ones include the hypnosis spiral, the use of an object that glitters such as a piece of jewelry or a gold watch, and progressive relaxation.

Hypnosis Spiral

As the title suggests, a hypnosis spiral is a constantly moving spiral pattern. Hypnosis spirals are available on many websites dealing with trance induction. Some of them are available for free download; others must be purchased. Once you have obtained a hypnosis spiral, induce trance by having your subject keep his or her eyes on it for several minutes. While the subject is doing this, you can deepen the trance by playing relaxing music or offering suggestions that the subject is becoming sleepy, that his or her limbs and eyelids are becoming heavy, etc.

A hypnosis spiral can also be used to test a person’s ability to be hypnotized. Have your would-be subject watch the spiral for thirty seconds. After that, have your subject look at the palm of his or her hand. If the subject sees no abnormalities in the spiral or the hand, he or she will probably be quite difficult to hypnotize. On the other hand, the subject who sees the spiral start to change colors and sees an increase in size in his or her hand is probably quite suggestible and easy to hypnotize.

Bright Objects

Another way to induce trance is to hold a bright object, such as a sparkly piece of jewelry, just above the subject’s eye level and tell the subject to keep his or her eyes on it. Eventually, the eyes will become weary and the eyelids will become heavy. The hypnotist then steps in with suggestions that the subject is feeling sleepy, cannot keep his or her eyes open, etc.

Progressive Relaxation

A final way to induce hypnotic trance, favored in the psychotherapeutic and medical community, is progressive relaxation. Speaking in a calm, authoritative voice, the hypnotist instructs the subject to first tense, then relax, every major muscle group starting with the toes. By the time the hypnotist reaches the muscles in the neck and face, the subject will be in a deep, relaxed trance.

Hypnotist… as a young man my gaze was focused on this job title. I was amazed, intrigued and thought that it looked like just the right title for me. So what’s it like being a Hypnotist? And what does one do on a typical day? Well let me explain.

Being a Hypnotist is great and wild horses would have to drag me away from this profession as I love it so much. Every day I get to help and work with some truly interesting people, this means that everyday is a new adventure. I will never tire as long as I can help someone to achieve their dreams.

And the best part about being a Hypnotist is that I am able to be with these same people as they achieve what they perceived to be the impossible for them.

One of my passions is to teach others Hypnosis and how to become their own Hypnotist through learning Self Hypnosis. Learning Self Hypnosis is a very easy and beneficial process to go through and you can really achieve amazing results with just knowing the basics. When you learn Self Hypnosis yourself you are in effect your own Hypnotist and day by day as you practice you will get better and better.

Self Hypnosis is basically a means of letting your subconscious mind communicate with your conscious mind. We can only establish contact with our subconscious minds, when we relax and let our conscious mind take a back seat. Our subconscious mind has immense powers, and it can be mastered with routine practice. Once the programming has been done, our little computer functions automatically on the responses it has stored in early practice sessions.

With the help of self-hypnosis, you can successfully alter habits such as smoking, nervousness, drug or alcohol addiction. Similarly when it comes to personality development, use of self hypnosis can make you a more confident and assertive person, it can instil a positive self image, become a performance booster and even help make your life a better place to be in.

Research suggests that we only use about 10% of our subconscious’s total potential. So just imagine if we could put into the use rest 90% how different life could be!
