How to Hypnotize Someone

By Christopher Cohen

To hypnotize someone and move the person into a state of subconscious relaxation is maybe more fascinating and exciting an experience than getting hypnotised yourself. It takes a lot of patience and practice to be in a position to induce hypnosis and use it successfully.

It takes both the hypnotist and his subject to participate equally to be in a position to achieve the specified results. In case the subject is unwilling to let go control over his consciousness, and allow himself to drift away into relaxation, it'd obstruct the work of the hypnotist. Therefore , before beginning to hypnotise a subject, it is necessary to clear all misunderstandings patients often carry about hypnosis, like they will fall asleep or give out their techniques. It is imperative to build trust between the subject and the hypnotist. The subject should be convinced that the only purpose of hypnotising him is that his mind would receive the message better in that state and respond more definitely. Once the subject is prepared, the process of hypnotism begins.

The subject should be seated in a cushty position, uncross his legs and arms, wear loose garments, and breathe deep. The room should preferably be quiet and dimly lit for better concentration. The hypnotist should speak in a steady, controlled, monotone voice, repeating phrases and getting the topic to sail smoothly and effortlessly with hypnotist's voice. Instructions like, breathe efficiently, let go, relax forget your worries and tensions, you are completely relaxed now, deeper, higher etc are quite dynamic in achieving the desired results. The hypnotist can accentuate efficacy of his strategy by stroking the limbs, and talking slowly, permitting ample time for each instruction to sink in. At no point of time should the hypnotist force himself upon the subject and annoy the thoroughly acquired subconscious state of the subject. In case, the specified results are not achieved in the 1st attempt, a patient 2nd attempt should be made.

When the subject has been brought under hypnotism, exercise uttermost care as this experience can be frightening or scaring for some. It's required to make the subject feel secure. Comforting phrases like don't worry, you are perfectly safe, everything's fine, you are in safe hands can help a hypnotist claim control without scaring the subject.

When bringing back the topic to awakened conscious, hypnotist needs to be similarly careful. Don't jerk the topic out of his state of relaxation. Again, go slow, count form one to five and lead the topic out of his subconsciousness. Keep telling the topic that he'll feel far better, fresh, energetic and revitalized.

Across the process, the subject should not get even the smallest idea of any hesitancy or absence of confidence on the part of the hypnotist. The subject must feel that the hypnotist is completely in control, that he will not allow any harm to come to the subject. Only then does the subject give up control and surrender himself fully to the hypnotist. Therefore to prompt hypnosis, hypnotist should have supreme confidence in his capability and craft. Only then can he achieve successful induction. .
