AnswerSome hypnotists do ask the subject to focus his or her gaze on an object. Concentrating the vision on a simple object can help prevent visual distractions from entering the mind. Then the subject can better focus on the verbal suggestions of the hypnotist. Advice

Answer 2

Someone who wants to experience hypnosis can usually be easily hypnotized - assuming they're of normal intelligence and able to follow instructions!

Ask the person to sit comfortably; tell them to breath in deeply and relax.

Gently hold the left hand, smile, and gaze steadily into the left eye. Gently move the left hand up and down whilst telling the person to keep absolutely still. Whilst moving the hand up and down tell him/ her over and over that they are not moving their hand and have no wish to move the hand. Tell them that their feet are totally immobile; their legs are immobile; their torso and arms are immobile etc... keep smiling reassuringly, and keep moving the hand - up and down, up and down...

Tell them, gently but insistently, that all they now want to do is sit absolutely still and listen to your voice. Keep moving the hand gently up and down, and tell them that if they wish to close their eyes they can do so. Keep telling them how relaxed they are; how good they feel; how well they're doing... they are entering a state of deep hypnosis, and feel very safe and secure.

In almost all cases, at this point, their eyelids will flutter (the eyes may roll upwards into the head) and close. Their head and shoulders will probably slump; their eyes will probably be moving rapidly under the eyelids, and if you break contact with the hand it will either remain suspended in the air, or it may continue to move up and down as if of its own accord. The person is now completely hypnotized, and will be very responsive to further suggestions.

With a willing and responsive person this process will probably take only about 5 minutes. It does not work with everyone, but I have found it to be highly effective with the majority of those who actively want to be hypnotized because they're curious to have the experience.

I am assuming you are asking how to hypnotize people?

If so, there are many ways and it depends on your intentions. Common "stage" uses include appearing to read one's mind, implanting suggestions to get a desired outcome, cluck around like a chicken etc, and "therapeutic" uses would be to help someone quit smoking, ease their pain, get rid of phobias etc.

There are many methonds that vary in difficulty, and practice makes perfect.

you sit facing the person you want to hypnotize and you tell them to stare at your eyes. And not to break that connection no matter what, then you tell them to place their palm on your palm then say. "now I'm going to count to three and when i reach the number three i want you to push your palm on my palm". after that put your other hand over their eyes moving their eyes down slowly and say. " now you are watching a old black and white movie late at night and you are soooo tired but you just want stay up 3 - 2 - 1 SLEEP!" now when you say sleep pull your palm away from their palm quickly. P.S just so you know this might not work.

There is no standard, universally applicable, method of inducing hypnosis: what works well with one person may not work at all with others. Context is highly significant - who is hypnotising whom, where, and for what reasons? Again, responses will vary between individuals depending on the general circumstances, situation, and the interpersonal relationships pertaining in the given time and place.

Second, although some people are far more responsive to hypnosis than others, generally most people can be hypnotised to some degree if willing. Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state which most people enter spontaneously on a regular basis - eg "daydreaming", when absorbed in a book, movie or piece of music, or when performing a tedious, repetitive task. Hypnotising someone simply means deliberately inducing this state for some purpose - entertainment or therapy etc..

Assuming someone wants to be hypnotised, the simplest methods involve distracting their attention/ breaking their normal thought pattern; getting the person to focus on a single point or idea, and then suggesting in a very repetitive manner that they're very relaxed, and don't want to move or do anything other than listen to further instructions/ suggestions. Methods may be direct or indirect; authoritarian or permissive... much depends on aforementioned variables. No-one can be hypnotised against their will per se, but in certain circumstances someone having the right personality traits/ disposition, and who feels secure, may be hypnotised without realising it, even if sceptical about hypnosis.

For example, at university, for a social psychology & communication class, I watched a demonstration in which a woman who insisted she could not be hypnotised entered trance in about three minutes. The hypnotherapist running the workshop simply talked to her about not being hypnotised; stating over and over that he understood fully why she could not be hypnotised, and explaining in great detail why it could never happen to her. After about a minute of this "patter" he asked her to put her hand on her head if she was not hypnotised (which she did, laughing), and told her to remove it if she felt hypnotised...

He continued talking, and it was soon obvious that she was totally hypnotised - eyes glazed, staring straight ahead, jaw slack, mouth drooling, and when she spoke her speech was slow, ponderous, and slightly slurred. When asked if she was hypnotised she denied it, but when told her hand was stuck to her head/ paralysed, she could not move it. The hypnotherapist then reversed that instruction, at which point she removed her hand from her head to signal that she felt hypnotised. She was amazed and amused by the experience, and most impressed.

Having brought her out of trance, the hypnotherapist explained how it had been done. When talking to her he'd focused his gaze on her left eye (thus encouraging her brain to switch to a "right hemisphere dominant state" in which emotion, intuition etc predominate over logic and analysis) whilst confusing her/ confounding her expectations by agreeing totally with her that she could not be hypnotised. He'd deliberately repeated certain things over and over to her thus producing a state of "monoideism" in which she was only focused on one idea/ thought, and... she'd become hypnotised by the very thought of not being hypnotised! Importantly, it had all been done in a very calm, reassuring, and humorous way so she never felt threatened, and eventually her natural curiosity had rendered her so completely fascinated by the whole process that she then willingly went along with it to find out what would happen next.

Finally, but by no means least, he explained that he'd reckoned she'd be very responsive because, despite her belief she could not be hypnotised, she'd been notably attentive throughout his introductory lecture; had displayed natural curiosity by asking many well founded questions, and was clearly an intelligent, stable, confident, and well balanced extrovert.

Hypnotism is really no more than a highly personalised and focused form of interpersonal communication, and if someone trusts you, is interested in what you're saying, and is not a "control freak", then it's very easy to hypnotise them by fixing their attention and guiding them into a relaxed state in which they'll tend to be very responsive to further suggestion.

Answer 5

There is many different ways. One way that I know is a way of relaxing. You sit on a sofa and imagine that your head and neck are going all floppy and relaxed. Then your shoulders, arms, stomach, legs ankles and feet in this order. Then when your feeling ultra floppy, imagine that your right arm is getting lighter and lighter and lighter while slowly raising it into the air. Then It's heavy as a led weight and It's sinking slowly down. Now open your eyes and you should feel all weird and floppy!
