How to Hypnotize Somebody - Great Ways

Are you interested in hypnosis?

Or maybe you are a practitioner in hypnosis.

Either way to begin I would like to just define hypnosis for those of you out there who may still think it is the movie "mind control" stuff.

Hypnosis is bypassing the conscious brain and speaking directly to the subconscious brain to change actions, ideas, behaviors and other things.

There are two general ways of doing this, they are:

Hypnosis (usually more stage hypnosis) - requires the subject to agree to be hypnotized

Covert Hypnosis - requires the subject to now know they are about to be hypnotized.

Many Therapists and Erickson hypnotists combine the two.

There is a large group of study now being involved in the covert hypnosis methods, a recent study suggests that the depth of a trance (how distracted your conscious mind is) does not directly correlate to what you can make the subject do.

As such covert hypnosis is becoming a more and more powerful tool.

So how do you hypnotize somebody in this way?

The first thing you need to understand is that you go through trance all the time.

For instance while driving you may notice you drift off, you don't remember driving certain areas, it just all came naturally. At that time you were in trance.

Or maybe you were intense and into a movie and forgot where you were or you were in a sports game and reacted perfectly without thinking.

Once again, trance.

You can make this happen a number of ways such as pacing and leading or confusion inductions, other things include anchoring.
