HOW TO DO A HYPNOTIC INDUCTION

Hypnosis is a very useful tool. However, few people know how to use it. This website shall help such people learn how to do a hypnotic induction.

Introduction – Hypnotic Induction

What I'm about to illustrate in this website is a simple hypnotic induction based on the Erickson model. It can be carried out on another person to create a state of profound relaxation.

HYPNOTIC INDUCTION BASED ON PACE & LEADING

·        Before starting, remember to physically pace the subject to establish a condition of trust or in other words, rapport.

·        Above all, imitate respiration.

·        Speak while the subject is exhaling.

·        Place yourself in front of him to be able to better observe his reactions.

The following words can be used to initiate the hypnotism:

 

‘And now, while you are seated, and you are in front of me, you can listen to my words, and you can hear noises that come from outside.

I don't know if you realize. (Pause).. that something inside of you is changing.

And while something inside you is changing, you can feel the temperature of the room, and the sensation of your feet touching the ground.

I don't know if you realize that your breathing is becoming calmer, and with every breath you are relaxing even more.

 

And while you can relax, and while you can feel the sensation of your closed eyes,

I ask myself if you realize you can cradle yourself in a feeling of relaxation.

And you can imagine being even more relaxed, and while you can feel the weight of your body, you can imagine how to enter into a peaceful cloud.. and you can feel that some parts of your body are relaxed and others can be even more so. You can let yourself be cradled in this feeling, and let yourself slide deeper into a feeling of sleepiness.

I don't know if you realize you can be even calmer than you think you can be.

You can feel the air that passes through your nostrils, you can feel the touch of your clothes against your skin, and go further.. my voice will accompany you.

At this point, the subject is in a light, ‘trance-like’ state. We can continue with the stairway suggestion to make him go into a deeper state of relaxation.

 

DEEPENING THE INDUCTION

‘The Stairway’

These words can bring a person to a deeper level of relaxation:

‘And while you relax, you can imagine being at the top of a magnificent stairway, and while you are at the top of this stairway, I'll count from ten down to one and with every number you can imagine going down towards the bottom.

Ten, at the top of the stairs ready to go down into an ever, deeper sleep

Nine, another step takes you further down, as if in a cloud of peace.. a sweet and relaxing cloud.

Eight, even more towards the bottom..  further down, in an ever-deepening feeling, falling even more asleep.

Seven, seven is your relaxing number; and every time you hear it you will relax even more.

Six, another step, another step downwards, towards the bottom.

Five, almost completely asleep, cradled in a feeling of deep peace

Four, another relaxing step.. when we get to the bottom of the staircase you will be completely asleep.

Three, let yourself be cradled by your feelings, sinking even further.

Two, a step away from being completely asleep, an ever more pleasing feeling.

One, completely asleep, in a feeling of complete wellness

Zero, further down than the bottom, calm, asleep and at peace with yourself.

Now... you feel emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually well.

Now I'll count from three to one and when you awake you will feel relaxed and well.

Three you feel well

Two you have a feeling of happiness

One.. open your eyes and smile!’

 

INDICATORS

While carrying out a hypnotic induction there are some indicators that allow us determine whether the subject is in a trance-like state:

·        Decrease in muscle tone

·        Deeper breathing

·        Involuntary movement of the pupils

·        Sweaty hands

·        Altering of facial symmetry

It should be noted that this type of induction is used to deeply relax the subject and make him enter into a state of peace and well being, before starting with other hypnotic techniques such as:

·        Creating new behavioural models

·        Altering confirmed habits

·        Developing energy

Hypnotic techniques are an amplification of our desires!
