All we have left to discus is the wake up process! So, at the risk of draaaaging this lesson a little, I’m gonna give you the wake up material today so that you don’t have to wait any longer!

Waking people from trance can be as easy as “1, 2, 3. Eyes open. Wide awake!’ BUT… that’s such a waste, so use the wake up script to get in a last few suggestions and make sure they wake up feeling absolutely great… and of course eager to volunteer again… so you get lots of practise!

Remember to remove any suggestion that you have used during the trance that your client doesn’t want to keep, and be sure to bring them fully back to date… at the right age!

After waking your client, spend a good five or ten minutes chatting positively about the experience, as they’ll still be very suggestible for a while. Read the rest of this entry »

Well, that’s the most serious situation out of the way… now on to another little problem that you’ll very probably experience… lots!

This is laughing… and expect it, ’cause it’s definitely gonna happen! When you start to practise on your friends they’ll laugh during the induction, some of them do this because the situation is unusual others do it because they really can feel something happening, and it serves as a bit of a safety net.

If someone laughs don’t stop the induction and give up… use the laughter! Laughing leads to relaxation, and it also releases lots and lots of stress… so go with it, laugh with them if you like, as soon as they manage to calm themselves say that if the laugh comes back it’ll make them twice as relaxed and take them twice as deep into trance. Then say something funny! Also make sure you point out how relaxed they feel as the laughter stops, especially around the face, have them notice the muscles in and around their jaw relax and link this with going even deeper!

Today we’re going to be looking at a few problems you might run into and what to do.

First off, we’re going to deal with abreaction. This is rare, but as it can happen you do need to know about it. It isn’t dangerous, it’s just unpleasant, but it can be an incredibly rewarding experience for the client and often leads to tremendous healing.

One of the best ways to think about abreaction is to imagine that deep in the clients subconscious mind is a pocket of trauma that’s been locked away out of sight for many years. Although this trauma is hidden it affects the client in a very negative way and prevents them from living their full potential. Read the rest of this entry »

Today we’re going to look at the trance itself… and what to do with it!

Whatever you are using hypnosis for, the lessons up to now will suit any circumstance. If you’re planning on taking hypnosis to the stage you’ll want to learn some more dynamic instant inductions too but these basic inductions are a great place to start.

So, what to do with your hypnotised client…. You basically have three options of where to take trance. You can do some therapy, you could use the trance for entertainment or you can use it to gather information.

We’ll start off with the therapy option.

What I’m giving you here is only a basic starter, if you want to get more involved with hypnotherapy then do go on and continue your studies.

Whatever problem you might be dealing with, make sure your client seeks conventional medical advice before you do anything. Getting rid of a headache is great, but not if your client later dies of a brain tumour! Read the rest of this entry »
