Improve Your Life Using These Simple Hypnosis Techniques

By Trevor Johnson

If you have seen people being hypnotised in public by magicians you might think hypnotism turns a person into a ghost-like mummy that obeys every command the hypnotist gives. In real life it's a whole lot different. When a qualified hypnotist--in some cases a psychologist--hypnotises you you remain awake, you are never asleep. You are in total control of what you're doing and there is never a time when you're a slave to the 'master'. But to achieve rehabilitative therapy using hypnosis there are a few simple hypnosis techniques you can apply to reap the most out of hypnosis.

The very first technique that ought to be mastered about hypnosis is personal practice. Inasmuch as practice is important it has hardly been practiced when it comes to expert work. Before you have a session ensure that you have gone through the stages you are going to perform so that you achieve the best possible results. Naturally they would be suited for particular individuals with individual needs. If you didn't know, different techniques are used to treat stress and asthma. Go through your drill and perfect it.

Some hypnotists prefer to have their subjects sit in chairs but it would be far more effective to make use of comfortable surfaces like big and soft feather pillows. Hypnosis always works best when the person is calm and relaxed, you don't want to be sitting on a surface that you're not so sure is hard or soft.

Use a slow and gentle voice during the entire session. Never at any point raise your voice and create a mood of disorder, chaos and confusion, everything must be straight and understandable. This is very calming; it gives the person peace and quiet, both ingredients to successful relaxation therapy.

Gain the trust of the patient little by little. Hypnosis is a process of selling away one's thought so it is important for the person being hypnotised to trust you. Trust is then all about doing everything you promised to do from the very onset and reassuring your client that he/she will never be made to do things she doesn't want to do, she is in absolute control.

Imagination is what controls the way we see things, that's the reason why we always have different perception of the same thing. Activate the subject's sense of imagination and make them picture an image of something related to the problem. One technique is making them imagine their success.
