There is a lot of practice and science that goes on behind the act of hypnotizing someone.One of the most effective ways to suck someone's attention away is with their eyes.Only use this practice on someone who gives their consent before you hypnotize them.
Step 1: Try not to blink for long periods of time.
How long can you keep eye contact without blinking?It is possible to have a staring contest with someone else.If you have full command over your eye movements, you will be able to maintain steady eye contact with the other person.
Step 2: Practice focusing with your eyes.
Look at a close object, like a pen or pencil, and then a distant object in the room.To hold the pencil, hold it close to your face.The focus should be on the pencil.If you want to focus on the pencil, move it to an object that is further away, like a picture on a wall.Return to using the pencil.Look at the distant object.You can improve your focus flexibility by practicing this.
Step 3: Improve your peripheral awareness.
Without turning your head, you can see objects and movements on either side of you.Sit in a busy scene outside on a sidewalk to improve this ability.You can sit in front of a computer screen that is playing a busy scene.With your head turned to one side, try to look at the busy scene.With your head turned to the other side, look at the scene.Try to see as much of the scene as you can.Make sure to practice from the left and right.
Step 4: The person should be asked for permission.
Do this by asking them if they want to be hypnotized.If you practice hypnotizing with your eyes on a friend or loved one, they will be more willing to be hypnotized.It is important that the person is willing to participate.The hypnotist will not work if they resist or don't want to be hypnotized.
Step 5: The person should sit in an upright position.
They will fall over if they are standing, so don't have them stand.
Step 6: Tell the person to focus on your right eye.
They should not look away while you speak to them.
Step 7: Don't blink as you stare at them.
Count from five to one in a whisper.Your eyes are getting heavier and heavier as you try to open them.
Step 8: If you tell the person you are going to touch their shoulder, they will limp.
Tell the person what you are going to do before touching them.You are going to give them a command and they will respond by doing what you tell them to do.When I touch your shoulder, you will become limp and heavy.Are you ready?
Step 9: Touch the person's shoulder and tell them to relax.
If the person leans back in the chair, don't be alarmed.This is a sign that they are relaxed.
Step 10: They should tell the person that they are under hypnotism.
It is important for the person to realize that they are in a relaxing state because of hypnotism.It's important to make sure the person is safe and in good hands.They will continue to trust you and listen to your commands if you assure them.
Step 11: Tell the person that their right arm is heavy.
Inform them that it feels limp and relaxed.Touch their arm to get a response.Lift up their arm and see that it's limp and relaxed.Put their arm back down.The person is now in a state of consciousness.They are willing to listen to you and your voice.
Step 12: They should follow your voice.
Go from five to one.They will only listen to the sound of your voice when you reach one.Use your fingers to focus on your voice.Allow your voice to relax them even more.They should be told to only hear every word you say.Instruct them to follow only your words.
Step 13: Try to get them to be in their hypnotized state.
If you have control over the person, you can try to get them to touch their nose or ear.You can tell them to move their arms or legs.The use of hypnotic control must be done with care.The person has put their trust in you, so don't hurt them while they are under your care.
Step 14: There is no need to confuse hypnotism with being asleep or unconscious.
Hypnotherapy makes you more aware of suggestion and more receptive to it.A person under hypnotism will not lose control or be under the spell of the hypnotist.The person will be more open to suggestions and guidance.Sometimes, we are under the influence of something.Think of when you got lost in class or in a daydream.You lose your awareness when you're wrapped up in a movie or TV show.These are all instances of being in a state of relaxation.
Step 15: There are benefits to being hypnotized.
It isn't just a party trick or a way to get your friend to do the chicken dance.Hypnotherapy has been shown to help people overcome insomnia, smoking, and other disorders.
Step 16: Like any other skill, hypnotism is a trained one.
There is no state regulation of hypnotism.Hypnotherapy can be completed in basic or advanced courses.It's a self-regulating profession.Professional ethics and basic hypnotist skills are covered in the certification course.If you want to know more about the health benefits of hypnotism, look for a certified hypnotherapist.
