I have received a ton of feedback on how to hypnotize a person. This technique besides using hypnosis also uses an NLP anchoring technique so you can return to this state. Almost everyone really enjoyed this exercise and had great results. Congratulations.

Some people, having never been in a purposeful trance, wanted to know whether or not they were truly hypnotized. They just weren’t sure if it had an affect or not. Hypnosis can also be thought of as focusing on one thought at a time, oblivious to all else going on.

Knowing for sure is a limiting factor in some people’s hypnosis. They keep running through their mind “Am I hypnotized?” “Am I doing this right?” “Is this working?” The answer is yes, and no. Yes it is working. No, now it’s not because rather than going on your mind is racing through the above questions and that becomes your focus.

So, here is the solution if you are not sure whether or not you are hypnotized. Pretend that you are. Pretend you are doing it right. Pretend it is working. Pretend you are hypnotized.

HUH?

The magic of the subconscious mind is that it cannot tell the difference between reality and make believe. If you make believe enough, your subconscious quits pretending and makes it happen. Here is an interesting fact.

Olympic athletes were hooked up to an array of measuring devices while they performed their event. Everything was recorded, brain function, heart rate, oxygen saturation, nerves firing, and everything else you can imagine. This data was collected. Then, the athletes were told to imagine doing their event. Just go through it in their mind, step by step. See themselves doing everything they do when they actually are performing their event. This data was collected and compared to when they actually did the action.

The result? Almost ZERO noticeable difference between the two. The more they ran it through in their minds, the less difference between actually doing it. Heart race increased, same muscles fired, same nerve impulses, same brain function.

So, the moral of the story? Fake it till you make it. It all works. With this ind mind, visit again how to hypnotize a person.

Enough background. You want to know how to hypnotize a person. It is high time to throw theory to the wind and get your feet wet. Hold on and enjoy the ride.

It is now time to hypnotize a person. This person will be your best subject throughout your training. This must be a person that you know completely. You must know there ins and outs, their likes and dislikes, their wants and needs, and most importantly their fears and their strengths.

What we are going to do during our first trance with them is boost your self confidence and at the same time make them feel better for having been your guinea pig. The person you are going to hypnotize today is yourself.

Please remember, all hypnosis is self hypnosis. Your goal in this trance is to make yourself feel more relaxed. Now obviously, I am not there to guide you through this, and this is written, so, you will have to remember the steps or write them down on an index card. Either is fine. Light trance is still a trance. The more you hypnotize someone the better they will get at going into a deeper and deeper trance.

It is important that you know what a trance feels like, so when you are guiding someone there, you know the direction. Now, let’s get started.

First sit in a comfortable position with your feet on the floor and hands in a comfortable position on the arms of the chair or your lap.

Next I want you to take five very deep breaths, in through your nose, filling your lungs to their peak capacity. Hold the breath for a few seconds, then exhale slowly through your mouth.

As you exhale the first breath I want you to imagine all the stress from your head is being released. Imagine when you inhale your head is being filled with a solution that absorbs stress. The first breath in absorbs all the stress in your head face and neck. As you exhale that stress is released, slowly leaving your body through your mouth. As the stress leaves it leaves that part of your body completely relaxed.

Your second breath absorbs all the stress from your arms and upper body. All the stress leaves as you exhale, leaving you more relaxed.

Your third breath absorbs the lower abdomen. Completely relaxing it as you exhale.

Fourth breath, your pelvis to your knees. Just ignore the world around you while you focus on absorbing the stress, and completely releasing all tension as you exhale.

Your fifth breath, takes all the stress from your knees to the bottom of your feet and completely absorbs it. As you exhale, you feel any remnants of stress leave through the bottoms of your feet as you exhale.

You can now breath slightly deeper than usual at a relaxed rate. Knowing at any time you may wish to take a deeper breath to relax even more than you already are.

Once all of your stress is gone I would like you to picture yourself in a well lit grey room. You see an extremely comfortable overstuffed grey chair in the middle of the room. Have a seat in the chair and take a very deep breath exhaling slowly, knowing with this breath it is possible to relax twice as much as you already are.

Now, enjoy the complete relaxation that you feel. Imagine a ring on your thumb. Turn the ring on your thumb around with your other hand while you enjoy this completely relaxed state.

Take another very deep breath relaxing twice as much as you exhale. Twirl the imaginary thumb ring again as you enjoy this state.

Now slowly open your eyes and become of aware of the room you are in.

Feel better? Congratulations you just hypnotized yourself. You now know how to hypnotize a person.
