The Progressive Relaxation Induction 2007-07-21 03:56:00 One of the simplest ways to hypnotize someone is the "progressive relaxation" technique.Have the person you're working with sit or lie down in a comfortable position.Talk slowly in a soothing voice (it doesn't have to be monotone).Say "Take a deep breath and as you let it out, close your eyes and begin to feel yourself relaxing." (If their eyes are already closed, leave the eye closing out)Have your subject put their awareness on different parts of their body and relax them. You can use language such as "Now become aware of your arms... now relax your arms... let them grow more and more comfortable... let the muscles become loose and limp and even more relaxed". Repeat this type of instruction for all areas of the body.Sprinkle your language with plenty of positive reinforcements such as - "That's right, good, you're doing just fine."Repeat if necessary: Depending on the person, you may have to repeat the whole procedure a few times. For most people 10 or 15 minutes is enough.When Read more:Progressive

Things To Know First 2007-07-21 03:54:00 Before I show you one way of hypnotizing let me warn you about a couple of things.Don't ask a person to do anything in hypnosis that might be harmful. A good rule of thumb is not to ask them to do anything in a trance that you wouldn't ask otherwise. People do not have super-human qualities in hypnosis.Some people will tell you they didn't "feel" hypnotized. Since hypnosis is a naturally occurring state, it feels normal to most people. Oftentimes people expect a profoundly odd feeling to occur in trance.About the only thing that can keep a person from attaining hypnosis is fear. If someone is afraid of you or of hypnosis it will not be easy.Here are some signs of hypnosis.Fluttering of the eyelidsIncreased redness or wetness of the eyes (upon opening them)General relaxation and loosening of the muscles"Flattening" of the facial muscles (they look very relaxed)Waxy skin tonus (the person will begin to look more like a mannequin - this is very subtle)Feelings of warmth or coolness or Read more:First
Does Hypnosis Really Work? 2007-07-21 03:53:00 Often when people learn what I do they ask "How do you hypnotize people?" or "Does it really work?"Let's face it, most of us have seen the ads in the back of comic books "Learn How To Hypnotize!" Most of us have seen movies in which hypnosis is portrayed as a way to get others to do our bidding. It's far-fetched ideas like this that have slowed the acceptance of hypnosis by the general public.Few people are aware of the overwhelming scientific evidence for hypnosis as a way of reducing or eliminating pain, accelerating healing, achieving goals or breaking habits.The simple fact of the matter is that hypnotizing people is a lot easier than most people think. In fact, you are most likely in a hypnotic state several times each day! Any time you're daydreaming or engrossed in a book or movie, any time your thoughts wander, you may be in a state very similar to hypnosis. It's a natural state which can feel somewhat like falling asleep or relaxing and drifting off on some train of though Read more:Hypnosis

Introduction to How Hypnosis Works 2007-07-21 03:44:00 When you hear the word hypnosis, you may picture the mysterious hypnotist figure popularized in movies, comic books and television. This ominous, goateed man waves a pocket watch back and forth, guiding his subject into a semi-sleep, zombie-like state. Once hypnotized, the subject is compelled to obey, no matter how strange or immoral the request. Muttering "Yes, master," the subject does the hypnotist's evil bidding.This popular representation bears little resemblance to actual hypnotism, of course. In fact, modern understanding of hypnosis contradicts this conception on several key points. Subjects in a hypnotic trance are not slaves to their "masters" -- they have absolute free will. And they're not really in a semi-sleep state -- they're actually hyperattentive.Our understanding of hypnosis has advanced a great deal in the past century, but the phenomenon is still a mystery of sorts.

Emotion 2007-08-24 20:29:00 When you speak it's important that you can hear your feelings in the words that you say, otherwise you don't sound sincere. In addition to the excitement in your voice when you talk about roller coasters and the wonder in your voice when you talk about peak experiences, you need to make some other words sound like what the mean. For example if you were saying the word "short" you would make the word sound just slightly abrupt, or if you're saying the word "humongous" you would drag out the syllables a little and maybe even raise your voice slightly.Exercise 1 - Here is a list of emotions that you can practice saying with the feeling of the emotion in your voice when you say it. To help you out a little, you might want to imagine a time when you experienced this emotion, and see what you saw, feel what you felt, and hear what you heard. Also make sure when you imagine this event that you're looking through your own eyesand not watching yourself. Lastly think of a sound that might re Read more:Emotion
Breathing 2007-08-24 20:28:00 It's important to breathe in deeply in order to project your voice and to have power and resonance. You won't be taking in more air, but you will be breathing into the lower portion of the lungs instead of into the upper portion of the chest.Exercise 1 - Put your hand on your upper chest. Breathe so that this part of the chest moves out when you breathe in. As you breathe out, let out an "Aaahhh" with the breath. Now put your hand in the middle of your chest and breath into this area, and as you release your breath say "Aaahhh." Now put your hand on your solar plexus and do the same thing. Lastly put your handon your stomach and as you say "Aaahhh" as you let the breathe out notice how much stronger your voice is when you speak from here, and notice how much more resonant your voice is.If this isn't easy for you try holding your hands above your head while you do this. As a last resort you can lie on the floor and practice there so you know how it feels, before you practice standing
Posture Stretches 2007-08-24 20:25:00 Number 1This stretch should be felt just above the collarbone in that little triangle.1. Stand with your lower back straight. Have your legs shoulder width apart, and your knees slightly bent.2. Reach behind the back with your right arm and grab the left arm (which is down by the side) at or just above the elbow.3. Rotate the left arm back in the socket gently, making sure you're turning the arm at the shoulder joint and not the elbow.4. Turn your head to the right looking over the shoulder, and then tilt the chin down toward the shoulder.5. Hold this position for 60 seconds.6. Repeat on other side.Alternate Step 3 - If you can't reach your arm that way, just gently rotate the shoulder back in the socket without holding the arm. You'll know if you're doing the stretch right by where you feel it.Number 21. Move your shoulders up toward your ear.2. Roll them back, squeezing your shoulder blades together.3. Let your shoulders drop, letting them stay back naturally. Number 3You'll fee
Tonality 2007-08-24 20:22:00 TONALITYYour tonality is very important, because you are using your voice to persuade others. If your voice isn't pleasant to listen to, who is going to sit and listen to it long enough for you to get what you want. Also, you need to be able to effectively control your voice in order to use techniques such as embedded commands and voice pacing.Posture Posture is important because if the body is not properly aligned the voice can't come out with the power, the resonance, and the projection that it naturally has.Exercise 1 - Imagine there is a string that runs through the top of the head and down through the neck, and down through the spine. Then imagine that someone pulls up slightly on the string,straightening the neck and the spine to the point where even if there were no muscles holdingthem in place the bones would stay sitting one on top of the other, and at the same time you feel your shoulders slide back into place. Now, imagine moving through the world this way ... when you sit
Calibration 2007-09-08 20:54:00 Calibration is the art of noticing the responses you get as they apply to that individual person. This is different for almost every person on the planet. That is why inside of-every interaction you must calibrate to the person in front of you.Exercise 1 - Awareness. Notice what you are currently aware of in the room. What do you see, hear and understand?Imagine that there is a smooth surface like water in front of you. Now, imagine you toss a pebble into the middle of your vision and notice the ripples as they spread out. Allow your visual field to expand in all directions as you follow it out. Notice what is on the edge of your field of vision. Notice everything you didn't notice before.Do the same with your hearing. Imagine your hearing is a smooth pond. Drop a pebble into the middle of it and allow your hearing to spread out. Do you hear things that you did not before?Now that you have done these we will make it 3d. Take your hearing and your vision and turn them into an expanding

Punctuation Ambiguity 2007-09-08 20:20:00 Punctuation ambiguity is when it is unclear where one sentence ends and the other begins. One way of using this is by having a word or phrase that could either be tagged on the last sentence or start out the next sentence. In the conscious conversation this phrase is usually part of the second sentence. By using the tonality in the phrase that you embedded the commands in the first sentence with, the unconscious will associate the phrase with the end of the first sentence. Some examples of commonly used phrases and words are:Now For me To meWith meExample: I'm sure that there have been many times when you feel that connection. Now with me,when I feel that close to this person …

Pausing 2007-09-08 20:17:00 The use of pausing when you speak is extremely important. It can make a person … anticipate … your … every … word. Or it can make you seem … uh … stupid. There are a few times when you can as a rule use pausing.One is when you want to keep a person in suspense and anticipate what you are going to say next. Second is when you want to make a point of a particular word or phrase. Third is when you're using punctuation ambiguity. For example, when you say "... when you feel that. (pause) With me (pause) I ..." The pause might only be slight in this case but the unconscious mind will hear it and know the difference.Exercise 1 - Get a tape recorder and read language patterns, poems, articles, etc. into it. Listen to yourself noticing where you pause and where you can improve.

Ambiguity 2007-09-08 20:15:00 You may have noticed when I was talking about embedded commands that I used the word "buy" in place of the word "by." This is called a phonological ambiguity. It can be two words that sound alike, such as hair and hare. It can also be two words that sound like one word, such as in trance and entrance. You see the unconscious has to take the word and reference back to all the meanings it has. In random conversations this means very little, but when you're embedding commands and stack phrases which are on a certain subject the unconscious will figure out what you really mean.Remember that the words don't have to sound exactly alike. If you were to substitute the word hue for the word you in the stream of conversation 99.9% of people would never notice the difference.Exercise 1 - Sit and write down at least 100 phonological ambiguities.
Embedded Commands 2007-09-08 20:09:00 Embedded commands are used to say something to the unconscious while you might be saying something completely different to the conscious mind. You can do this by saying all of the words in the embedded commands in one particular note, at a particular volume, etc. The key is to have the note or volume that you embed the commands at distinct from the rest of what you say. For example, if you use the note A sharp to embed the commands, you can't use that pitch elsewhere in your conversation. Personally I find it easiest to drop my pitch slightly on the embedded commands.Also, when you're embedding a phrase such as, "Buy me presents," the words don't have to be together in the sentence. They don't even have to be in the same sentence. They can be spread out through a paragraph.I saw a gorgeous Ferrari go buy. To me it seems that some cars have presents of their own.Also remember that you should embed commands at least three times each. They don't have to be in the exact words but the Read more:Commands
Inflection 2007-09-08 19:55:00 Your inflection is important, because according to how you use it you can seem powerful, or not. You see there are three ways of speaking: commands, questions, and statements.Statements just have a flat inflection at the end, questions go up at the end, and commands go down. This is important because if you say something like "Let's go out" as a question instead of a command you give the other person a chance to say no. Also, a question isn't always a question. If you use the grammatical structure of a question but go down with the inflection at the end of the sentence then you actually make it a command.Exercise 1- Say these sentences using a downward inflection at the end.Let's go out.Come with me. I love you.Do you want to go out for coffee with me? (taking the inflection down on with me)Do you understand?Inflection is also very important for being able to embed commands. You can embed a command using any note, but for the sake of simplicity here we're going to talk about embedd
