“How to Hypnotize” Course Author: Steven Hall MCOH MASC NLP
Welcome to your first hypnotic lesson! It’s great that you’re interested in hypnosis and I know you’ll be eager to get started… today we’re going to get all of the preparation work out of the way, so you can begin the induction process ASAP!
First off, we need to answer the question, ‘What is hypnosis?’
Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness, there’s nothing mysterious or magical about it and everyone drifts in and out of trance many times a day without even realizing it!
If a person is in hypnosis it is possible to communicate directly with their subconscious mind. The subconscious mind doesn’t critique or reason in the same way that the conscious mind does. It just does what it’s told.
So, if you tell a person that’s fully alert that they’re a ballerina, they’ll compare this to what they already know to be true, and then dismiss it… and tell you that you’re wrong. If they’re in a trance, they just accept it, and will be more than happy to pirouette across the stage!
There are many misconceptions about trance, so let’s get those out of the way and we can press on with the more exciting side of hypnosis!
Hypnosis is not the same as sleep, when you are hypnotized you’ll be able to hear everything a hypnotist says.
It is impossible to become ’stuck’ in hypnosis. If a hypnotist sneaks away and leaves you in trance, you’ll either wake up straight away, after a few minutes, or, if you are very tired, you might fall into normal sleep and wake up once rested.
A hypnotist can’t ‘make’ you do ‘anything’. You’re in control, if you’re not happy with a suggestion you can just refuse to do it. Similarly, they can’t probe inside and discover your darkest secrets. You may have seen a TV show where a hypnotist appears to do this, but please bare in mind that the volunteers know he’ll be probing and they wouldn’t be on the show if they truly wanted the secret kept secret!
Trance isn’t exactly what it appears to be, a hypnotist doesn’t hypnotise a person; they simply act as a guide and help the person to hypnotise themselves! In fact, all hypnosis is self hypnosis! So, as you learn how to hypnotise people, all you’re really learning is how to help them hypnotise themselves. Now you know your role… I want to quickly give you an overview of the entire trance process before we end your first lesson.
The trance process has some very specific stages, and you’ll need to learn all of them if you’re going to make it as a hypnotist. First off we have the pre-hypnotic talk. This is an informal chat that you have with your client before any trance work begins. If you’re on stage, it’s everything you do and say while getting your volunteers!

Next we have the actual induction process. There are lots of ways to do this and it’s much simpler than you probably imagine. After the induction is complete you lead straight into a trance deepener. Next is the important part… and that’s what you do with the trance state, this can be some therapy, a stage routine or perhaps something more exotic, like discovering past lives. Once the trance has served its purpose you make use of a few post hypnotic suggestions then close by waking the client.
“I successfully hypnotized my first subject using your book. He was hypnotized to a very deep trance and I was able to suggest he forgot his name and a number. It is a great feeling to achieve this!!” – Richard Jackson
