Being able to hypnotize somebody is a cool party trick. It is also a powerful way to help somebody overcome some problems that are bothering them. One thing most people are surprised about is that it is pretty easy to hypnotize somebody. Maybe this is because going in and out of hypnosis is pretty natural for everybody. In this article I'll show how to hypnotize somebody using the permissive method. This means they know you are hypnotizing them, and have agree to go along with it.
A good thing to get before you start is something they'd like to accomplish while under hypnosis. Maybe a bad habit they'd like to stop, or to do good an upcoming test, or to simply enjoy twenty or thirty minutes of focused relaxation. Make sure to respect whatever they want to achieve, as it is important to them.
Now you're ready. Have relax in any way that will be comfortable for them for twenty or thirty minutes. Sitting down, or sprawled out on a couch, whatever is most comfortable for them. Get them to close their eyes, and take several long, slow, deep breaths. Each time they exhale, tell them they are getting more and more relaxed. (Which they will be anyway, because they are sitting on a couch with their eyes closed!) Tell them they are getting more relaxed with each breath.
Once they have become really relaxed and look like a bowl full of jelly, you can start guiding their attention. Get them to focus on each body part, starting with their head, and finishing on their feet, relaxing each part as they go.
When you finishing relaxing all their body parts, you can start giving them commands. Make sure your command are congruent with what they said they wanted to accomplish under hypnosis. "You stop smoking easily," or "You always do well on tests, " or "you are very smart," or whatever they want. Spend about fifteen minutes during this section. Speak slowly and softly.
After you've given them several commands, it's time to wake them up. Take your time, and move them slowly from being relaxed to up and awake. A slow count from one to five is usually a good way to do this. For fun, do this with a romantic partner and take turns hypnotizing each other. - 31857
