How to put a person into hypnosis without him noticing

For a long time, it no longer seems strange when visiting a neurologist in a regular city clinic to be offered several sessions of hypnosis in order to slightly improve the psychological state. It has ceased to be something distant and mysterious, and has turned into a familiar method of psychological relaxation. But the fear remains. People are afraid of professionals who know how to put a person into hypnosis without him noticing. But there is nothing very complicated about these techniques. Many people can learn to do this on their own.

Stages of hypnotizing a person

You can only hypnotize a person with his consent. First, make sure you really need it. Ask yourself if you are ready to take responsibility for someone else's life and health. If you are ready, you can start.

Preparation with mirror exercises. Maintaining a gaze that carries the necessary information. Learn to focus your gaze. To do this, use a pencil. Hold it in front of you, and then suddenly look to the other side of the room. Repeat the action. Development of lateral vision. Try to see as many details as possible on the sides while sitting in one position and without turning your head. Training for the first hypnosis session. Find someone who isn't afraid to get involved. Realize that you will take full responsibility for this person. Ask the person to look you in the eyes without blinking or turning away

Speak the words quietly, calmly, their careful use will relax the interlocutor. You need to try to show confidence in your gaze

Repeat with authority: “your eyelids become heavy, you want to sleep, you calm down and relax, your breathing becomes calm and even, you don’t think about anything, you just fall asleep. Your body becomes heavy, leaden, you can’t hold it, it wants to lie down and drags you along with it.” Repeat phrases several times. When you see that the person is relaxed, ask permission to touch his shoulder. Tell the person that immediately after you touch them, they will be able to fall asleep. After this, tell him that everything is fine, he is under hypnosis, and his condition is normal. Tell your coachee to listen to your voice. Count from five to one and click with two fingers. The person will be in your attention. He will perceive everything you say with great significance, because he is in a helpless state. You can program this person to think positively or distract him from obsessive thoughts if the situation requires it. You can check a person’s condition by holding his hand in your palm. If it is heavy and cannot stand on its own, then hypnosis works. When the session is over, you need to warn the patient that you will now awaken him to real life. Tell him that when you count from five to one, he will wake up. After counting “one,” snap your fingers sharply. The person will immediately come to his senses. Let him know where he is and what's happening to him by continuing the casual conversation.

How does the session work?

First, the hypnologist gets acquainted with the patient, collects anamnesis, determines the psychotype, clarifies the request and, with the help of special tests, checks the degree of hypnotizability of the client.
After this, the specialist announces readiness for work and the number of sessions. It should be understood that no healing can happen in one meeting, because first you need to find out the cause of the problem, how serious it is, discover the psychological trauma and the core of the injury, and then take measures to eliminate it. For the success of hypnotherapy, not only a highly qualified specialist is required, but also the desire of the patient - if he himself does not want, for example, to get rid of addiction, nothing will work.

As a rule, 5 sessions are prescribed for an hour or two a day. The room where meetings are held is decorated in a calm interior; strict silence reigns here - no noise should penetrate from the outside.

Technicians

There are several types of hypnosis, they differ in the concentration of the client’s attention inward and the degree of suggestibility. But with each of them, the protective mechanisms of consciousness are turned off and deep psychotherapy can be carried out for the benefit of the patient.

Classic hypnosis. The patient is put into a deep trance and answers the hypnologist's questions. The answers received are used by the specialist to understand the causes of the problem and plan further treatment.

Regressive hypnosis is the most difficult. Based on philosophical teachings about reincarnation and is a symbiosis of hypnosis and spiritual practice. The patient in a trance is sent on a mental journey into the past and, thanks to this, the “culprits” of the problems are found.

A woman who was terribly afraid of water, in a hypnotic dream, saw herself drown in a pond in a past life. After visiting a hypnologist, she decided to sign up for a swimming pool to learn how to swim.

It is also possible to “go into the future”, allowing you to know in the future how to cope with the situation that has arisen.

Ericksonian hypnosis has a gentle effect on the patient's subconscious. The latter is put halfway into sleep, given instructions, but he must not strictly follow them, and may refuse some. After leaving a trance, a person remembers everything that happened to him.

Projective hypnosis . In the inner world of a person who is in a trance, in his subconscious, images and sensations arise. The hypnotherapist and the client decipher them so that the latter gets rid of uncertainty, anxiety, phobia, and understands himself better.

Simple ways to protect yourself

It is no coincidence that people often cannot withstand the onslaught of a judgmental and reproachful look and often hide their eyes or turn away altogether. This way they avoid receiving the flow of negative energy and, accordingly, protect themselves. Therefore, the easiest way to protect yourself is not to look directly into the eyes of a person prone to anger and other negative emotions. As a last resort, it would be safer to look at the bridge of his nose or forehead. Then he most likely will not pay attention, unless he feels something subtly unpleasant and cold due to the fact that real contact with you will not happen, and most of the negativity will remain in him. Thus, the aggressor will harm only himself.

In order not to succumb to suggestion from the outside, do not look at the person continuously during a conversation, but glance to the side from time to time. This will give you the opportunity to maintain your thoughts and mental balance. Of course, it is almost impossible for an ordinary person to protect himself from the influence of real hypnotists, so it is better to avoid such people, not allowing the slightest contact with them.

There are special techniques and exercises that will help you protect yourself from third-party energy influences, protect you from other people’s thoughts and dangerous energy. For example: crossed arms or legs are the easiest way to protect yourself. When crossing, the dissipation of the flow of bioenergy of the body is limited, which protects it and prevents harm. Use this technique in a conversation with a potentially dangerous and unpleasant person.

You can also do the following mental exercise: visualization of a mirror shield. To do this, you need to imagine that you are obscured by a large shield with a mirror surface facing the unwanted interlocutor. And every time he tries to influence you, he will always receive a blow reflected by the mirror in response. As a result, all the negativity will return back to the one who sent it, and you won’t even feel anything bad.

How is it determined that coma has turned into death?

Modern medicine is able to maintain breathing, cardiac activity and provide nutrition for a long time to a person in a deep coma. Death is declared when blood flow to the brain stops and irreversible pathological changes occur.

These changes are diagnosed using computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. The absence of any brain activity is determined by electroencephalography methods, and cessation of cerebral circulation is recorded angiographically.

Based on the totality of the obtained indicators, death is diagnosed and, in agreement with relatives, life support equipment is turned off.

How to learn gypsy hypnosis, hypnotize people with your eyes: tips

We have already described above the distinctive characteristics of gypsy or, as it is also called, street hypnosis. In principle, we will give tips that will help you master any other hypnosis.

The first requirement is self-confidence. She should not hesitate, because only a person who is absolutely confident in himself can hypnotize with his gaze

To do this, it is important to have high self-esteem, so work on yourself. Appearance also plays a big role. There must be an image of a presentable and even authoritative person in order for one to want to trust him. Work on your diction

Words should be pronounced clearly and slowly, and the voice should be full of confidence and firmness. But without unnecessary pressure, otherwise you can only scare the patient away. And the main secret of gypsy hypnosis is the rearrangement of words and a continuous flow of information. Also, do not forget that the voice should lull a person’s consciousness. Don't shout and stick to the same rhythm. In the beginning, of course, you need to practice on your friend, who will give voluntary consent. In the future, you can train on strangers, but know how to choose the right person. Even gypsies approach weak and insecure representatives. Therefore, learn to identify and understand people. Another tip is to copy the behavior and facial expressions of the subject. This can help him understand and connect better.

The main thing that gypsies use in conversation is putting pressure on a person’s misfortunes. It doesn't matter if it's in the past, future or present. As a rule, they all have a similar character. Use general phrases, but don’t go too far. There is no need to be too frightening either. Ask questions of a personal nature, but after an established contact. The person, without even realizing it, will begin to answer the questions posed. And the last piece of advice – don’t give up! Gypsies are also distinguished by their pressure (yes, they often attack in groups so that the victim cannot escape), but they do not give up until the last moment. If you fail, don't get discouraged and don't lose faith in yourself. Remember that “Moscow was not built at once.” Therefore, train and next time you will definitely succeed.

Gypsy hypnosis

You should also know what can cause failure or even prevent you from establishing contact:

This is nicotine or drug addiction. Yes, we have already mentioned this. The fact is that a smoking person does not control his consciousness. How can it influence the consciousness of another person?
Alcohol will also become a blocker for establishing contact. The fact is that alcoholic drinks dissipate consciousness, and you won’t be able to master hypnosis.
Even banal coffee will become a hindrance. After all, it is a stimulant of the nervous system.
Do not use hypnosis for any harm. Remember that any action will come back to you like a boomerang. And in double size. Therefore, hypnosis can only be used for good.

Features of gypsy hypnosis

Are there any special features of gypsy hypnosis? Practitioners use long-established techniques based on a combination of a special voice timbre, the use of breathing practices and texts. Gypsies sometimes manage to hypnotize people simply with a look, but more often they use a complex technique. It consists of the following steps:

Stopping attention with a random and habitual question: “How to get there?”, “Where is the nearest post office?”
Establishing a trusting contact. It occurs at the subconscious level and is called “psychological rapport” by scientists. Gypsies influence the unconscious with gestures, glances, increased sexual attractiveness, and a sharp removal from the comfort zone. A complex set of actions has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years and is not of a conscious nature; it is similar to the instincts of animals and is also carried out on a subconscious level.
Checking the contact and condition with a sharp gesture.
Work to achieve the desired result.

This technique is adopted from the gypsies by the criminal world and is often used in business relationships. The basis of suggestive contact is both the person’s own hypnotizability and the presence of a material interest in the hypnotist’s proposal. You can resist it only with special knowledge. If you want to understand how to hypnotize people with your gaze, it is better to take training from masters who specialize in this particular area.

Power of Gaze: Hypnosis.

The hypnotist's gaze is not just a motionless, glassy gaze directed at one point. The hypnotist's gaze expresses unshakable willpower through the eyes, nerves, and muscles. Anyone who meets such a gaze immediately feels what enormous inner strength the gaze expresses. It is no coincidence that in many martial arts fighters begin their fight with a battle of views. And, as a rule, they determine the balance of power by the strength of their gaze. This look is rarely given by nature; as a rule, it is developed through special exercises. As the power of gaze develops, hypnotic abilities also develop. Anyone who develops the power of their gaze will notice after short training that it is easier for them to solve all everyday issues related to persuading their interlocutor. With each new workout this effect will increase. This view is a treasure trove for any person and should be developed even by those who do not intend to become a hypnotist. Even animals are afraid of this look. Through the gaze, thought is transmitted and willpower operates. The gaze, when it reaches all the power of insight and influence, is a terrible weapon if possessed by a person with bad inclinations. There are a number of simple exercises that will give your eyes unshakable willpower. These exercises are given by me in the book “Induced Hypnosis”.

Rehabilitation after a coma

To bring a patient out of a coma, doctors make many attempts, and this process takes an indefinite amount of time. If persistent efforts are successful, the person’s consciousness returns, the mood for recovery is formed, and rehabilitation is carried out under the supervision of specialists.

For this purpose, targeted centers with multifaceted rehabilitation programs are created. In the Minsk region, one operates in the Aksakov region. Those who require specialized assistance are there free of charge.

How to influence the subconscious

The hypnotic effect occurs through the invocation of subconscious trust and the establishment of so-called rapport. The theory, techniques and practice of hypnosis are inextricably linked with this concept. Rapport is the connection established by the hypnotist with the hypnotized person.

With the establishment of rapport, the hypnotized person becomes more receptive to the suggested words of the hypnotist, readiness to carry out suggested tasks, and loses reaction to other external stimuli. To create unconscious trust and rapport, the hypnotist identifies himself with the hypnotized person - makes his behavior similar, adjusts his posture, gestures, movements, and breathing patterns.

Adjustment to posture and movements

The simplest technique in creating subconscious trust is to adjust to the pose of the person being hypnotized - it must be copied, directly or crosswise (that is, like in a mirror). If, for example, the client's left leg is on top when crossing his legs, when cross-adjusting, the hypnotist should have his left leg on top. But a person rarely sits still, so movements also become the subject of adjustment. This adjustment is more difficult; you need to be very careful, watching and repeating gestures and facial expressions, and at the same time not letting your partner realize it.

The easiest way is to adapt to a person’s gestures, and when copying a gesture, you don’t have to complete it, but only outline and repeat the direction. It is convenient to reproduce the frequency of blinking - the opposite party is almost never aware of this.

To learn this technique, you need to do exercises - copy the pose of a person who is in a motionless state. Repeat changes in posture, gestures, movements

When copying a movement, you can only reflect it by direction; it is important to repeat its frequency. By copying the rhythm of blinking, you can stop it at some point or close your eyes

If the subject does the same, it means that the adjustment is working and the state of hypnosis is approaching.

Adjusting to breathing

Training to adjust to breathing requires a lot of attention, since there is a direct connection between this function and the subconscious. The direct type of adjustment is an exact copying of the rhythm of the subject's inhalations and exhalations. This adjustment is most effective. But if a person's breathing rhythm is too fast or slow, it may be difficult to reproduce. In this case, indirect adjustment is used - they copy the breathing rhythm by moving, for example, a finger.

When performing training exercises, you need to work on both types of adjustments. Watching the person, begin to breathe evenly in time with his inhalations and exhalations. Then select a subject with an increased breathing rate and try to copy the rhythm of inhalation and exhalation by shaking your leg or moving your finger.

Voice and speech

The voice is the hypnotist's working tool. A clear, strong, pleasant voice, easily moving from tone to tone, introduces the hypnotized person into a state of trance. Speech should be clear, unhurried, and convincing. It is necessary to develop your own voice, which will act hypnotically, train it in accordance with these requirements, learn to change intonation, make it rhythmic if necessary.

There are two more rules used in hypnosis:

The speech should not contain negatives. Negations do not exist in the subconscious; it does not perceive them. An exercise for training such speech is to avoid using the particle “not” at all for some time, and instead of using negative words, use others that are suitable in meaning. Then return to normal speech, but when talking about experiences, do not use the negative particle.
Phrases should be general in nature, not specific to the situation. The person being hypnotized must have unoccupied space for his impressions and feelings. This facilitates a faster introduction into trance.

After these initial techniques have been successfully mastered, you can move on - study and train in a self-instruction manual on the basics of hypnosis, techniques for inducing trance through associations, suggestion with command words, hypnotization with built-in messages, using a person’s natural trance. Mastering the techniques of breaking patterns, overloading, and anchoring will add to your knowledge and techniques.

It is also important to pay attention to autogenic training

This is only a small part of the recommendations and exercises for mastering hypnosis. To learn practical hypnosis, you need to work hard using the hypnosis tutorial for beginners, use videos with exercises, examples of techniques, and advice from experienced specialists. Such information can be obtained on the channel of psychologist and hypnologist Nikita Valerievich Baturin.

What to do during a trance

During the session, you need to pay attention to the issues that concern the person. This could be childhood trauma, sexual abuse, phobias, or health problems. Without the appropriate medical knowledge, you are unlikely to be able to help a person with severe psycho-emotional problems, therefore, if you have independently studied how to enter a state of hypnosis, it is better to use your knowledge to help people simply relax, calm down, relieve increased nervousness and stress, and overcome insomnia.

general description

Surely you have met people who seem to be naturally endowed with such a gift. They look into your eyes without blinking, and seem to read your thoughts. Under such a gaze you involuntarily get lost. The hypnotic gaze works on almost all patients. In addition, the hypnotist very skillfully conducts a conversation, constructing sentences in such a way that the person will agree with him. All this is necessary to create the precondition for a special state in which a person will be more susceptible to suggestion.

Moreover, this will take quite a lot of time. It is necessary not only to choose the right ones, but also to repeat the exercises many times. The hypnotic gaze is not difficult at all. You just need to repeat simple exercises day after day. At the initial stages, you need to choose only the simplest ones. They are not so much effective as they are useful.

The first step is to master general gaze training and calmness in presence. After this, you need to learn how to transmit:

Sparkle in the eyes.
Emotional message.

It sounds simple, but in fact you will have to work hard to master them to the required extent. The required skill develops gradually. The hypnotist goes deeper into training and changes not only his view of familiar things, but also his manner of behavior. That is, his mind and physiology are gradually rebuilt.

Draw a circle with a diameter of 1 cm on paper and hang it at a distance of 2 meters at eye level. Look at it for a minute without blinking. It won't work out at first, but gradually you will get there. Move the sheet to the right or left 1-2 meters and continue looking at the point. Walk around the room without taking your eyes off her. Take two sheets of paper with dots and quickly move your gaze from one to the other.

It is important not to blink.

Every day you need to increase the time a little. Gradually it will become very easy to watch without blinking for a few minutes. This creates a deep, interested look.

Technique of hypnosis due to the furnishings of the room

Subdued soft light, relaxing quiet music is possible, convenient location. You ask the person being hypnotized to relax and get ready to fall asleep. Bring your open palm to the person above eye level at approximately a distance of 8 to 12 centimeters, then ask him to look at the central part of the palm and not be distracted by extraneous thoughts. Induce and then direct a stream of heat from the palm of your hand to the person being hypnotized. Due to intense eye strain, they will become tired. There will be a desire to close your eyes. After 3-5 minutes, you can apply the suggestion formulas:

In a few minutes you will fall asleep
You will only hear my voice
Above the desire to fall asleep increases every minute
You can't resist the urge to fall asleep
Now I'll count to ten and you'll fall asleep
Once. Your eyelids are getting heavy
Two. You only hear me
Three. The desire to sleep intensifies every second
Four. You are relaxed.
Five. Your eyelids are heavy and your muscles are relaxed
Six. You gradually fall asleep
Seven. You fall asleep and fall asleep
Eight. You can no longer resist sleep
Nine. You fall asleep and fall asleep
Ten. Are you sleeping

As a result, learning hypnosis is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. There are also other hypnosis techniques, but the most common are the 4 ones described above.

Preparatory stage

First you need to find a person who has a sincere desire to undergo a session. This is a must. If the hypnotized person does not believe in the effectiveness of hypnotherapy and does not want to succumb to it, then it is extremely difficult to put him into a trance, especially for a novice hypnotist. People who have mental disorders cannot be put into a state of altered consciousness. The procedure can cause a relapse and lead to serious and sometimes dangerous consequences.

You need to prepare the place where the session will be held. This implies the following points:

Choose a quiet room where the person will feel peaceful and comfortable.
Minimizing lighting and keeping the room as clear as possible will help the person being hypnotized to concentrate on the words and actions of the hypnotist.
Turn off cell phones and other means of communication for the duration of the session.
Close all windows if it is noisy outside.
Warn all close people living in the house (apartment) not to enter the room until the session is completed.

Before the procedure, talk with your partner. The patient should know what to expect. Hypnosis is a simple, but at the same time effective relaxation technique that helps not only relax, but also find the necessary answers in your subconscious. A person independently enters a trance while reading a book or watching a movie, etc. It is better to say in advance that:

No one controls anyone during the session.
He will not be immersed in an unconscious (limited) state.
He will not be forced to do anything he does not like.

Hypnosis helps get rid of anxious thoughts, strengthens mindfulness, and is used for complete relaxation during stressful situations. Understanding by partners of goals and motives helps to quickly bring a person into a state of hypnotic trance.

Another important point that is worth checking with the person being hypnotized is whether he has undergone previous sessions of the procedure. If yes, then you need to find out what they told him, what was his reaction to certain actions? This will help the hypnotist understand what needs to be avoided and the degree of suggestibility of a person. For good communication with the patient, prepare for the most popular questions.

Requirements to become a hypnotist

Many people want to know how to learn the basics of hypnosis at home. This is due to the fact that this method of working with the subconscious allows a person to calm down and get rid of fears and phobias. It is possible to acquire knowledge that would help to apply hypnosis in practice without special medical education. Many books have been written on this topic and dozens of video lessons have been filmed. Such intervention must have a good purpose. You cannot hypnotize unnoticed, without the consent of the individual, since such an intrusion can cause irreparable harm to his health.

Character

When getting started with the basics of hypnosis, it should be taken into account that only a person with a strong and strong-willed character, who does not have hidden complexes and family problems, can successfully master the influence on the subconscious of other people. A person practicing hypnosis must be mentally healthy, be able to win over others, and evoke in them a feeling of trust and sympathy.

The hypnologist must be able to gain the patient's trust

Sight

One of the main components of a successful session is the concentrated and intent gaze of the hypnotist. To develop such a view, you need to train, and the following exercises will help you with this:

during a conversation, try to hold the gaze of your interlocutors without blinking;
learn to focus on drawn objects of various sizes; for convenience, hang them on the walls of the room;
develop peripheral vision, trying to cover more space with your gaze (for this exercise you need to go to a stadium, square, crowded park).

Voice

The hypnotist's voice plays a huge role. It must have special attractiveness and strength. Having heard it, a person should unconsciously want to obey and do as he is told. The voice cannot be trembling and endlessly interrupted, or be too quiet. A confident, calm and pleasant timbre is the main requirement. It is important that the speech is correct and does not hurt the ears of other people.

Basics of Psychology

To put a person into hypnosis, you need to know psychology. This is a therapeutic session designed to help the individual, solve his problems, cope with complexes, fears and addictions. If you simply pick up any shiny object and start waving it in other people's faces to tell them to sleep, it will not give any positive result.

Any practicing hypnotist, guided by knowledge of psychology, develops his own technique to help put a person into a trance.

Development of a magnetic gaze: exercises

These exercises are both the best method to develop a magnetic look, and eye gymnastics to improve vision.

Take a clean white A4 sheet and draw a black circle with a 10-kopeck coin in the center. Attach it to the wall and at a distance of 2 meters, while the circle should be at eye level when you are sitting. Place a chair in the middle of the room, just opposite the paper. Thus, focus on the point in the center and direct your gaze directly at it, firmly, without blinking. To begin with, one minute is enough, then when your eyes have rested, repeat this exercise again, and so on 5 times. At first I couldn’t hold it even for a minute, but believe me, over time with regular training, success will not be long in coming.

Leave the chair in its original place, move the paper a meter to the right of its original position. Sit down and again direct your gaze intently at the black dot, without turning your head. Also repeat the exercise by moving the sheet of paper with the dot to the left, and so repeat 5 times, a minute to the right, a minute to the left.

This exercise develops concentration, the main thing is to concentrate on the point without being distracted by anything, you cannot blink your eyes. There may be a lot of tearing at first, but it will go away with regular exercise. If your eyes are very tired after training, you can rinse them with cold water or apply a compress.

It is very important that these exercises are carried out in natural light. This exercise should be performed daily, increasing by a minute every 3 days.

To avoid straining your eyes, you should not perform this exercise for more than 15 minutes.

This exercise should be performed daily, increasing by a minute every 3 days. To avoid straining your eyes, you should not perform this exercise for more than 15 minutes.

After a month of training, exercise 1 can be complicated by adding various options, for example:

After the concentration of gaze is acquired, you can begin exercises to develop a central gaze. To do this, you need to sit in front of the mirror and direct your piercing gaze at your reflection - at the bridge of the nose, between the eyebrows. This place is also called the third eye. In order to facilitate the exercise at the initial stages, you need to draw a point between the eyebrows and look closely at it, starting from one minute, every 2-3 days you need to add 1 minute (but no more than 15 minutes). As you practice, you should reduce the point, and then try without it altogether.

This exercise should be done in a room with many portraits or photographs of people on the walls. At the same time, look at the bridge of the person’s nose in the portrait for one minute, then abruptly move to another portrait and fix your gaze on the bridge of the person’s nose in the other portrait. And so repeat the exercise with portraits of other people, while you need to move your gaze sharply, with lightning speed.

This exercise should first be done with someone you know. Sit opposite him and look at him with your central gaze until he asks you to stop.

Practice practicing the magnetic power of your gaze, but do not forget that at the same time your face and facial expressions should retain your natural expression, and your gaze should reflect strength, confidence, power, and authority.

The ability to stop with your gaze is the highest skill, which not everyone can master. With the power of a glance you can stop a passerby, thieves, or an evil dog. Grigory Rasputin, for example, made good use of this skill. Gypsies are also good at using the central gaze to manipulate people. Also, everyone knows that Japanese geishas mastered the art of a magnetic gaze. And it was believed that a true geisha was one who could stop a man with her gaze.

Yes, you need to train a lot to develop a magnetic look. But the result is worth it, isn't it?

Methods of inducing trance

During trance, the patient's consciousness is open to the influence of the psychotherapist. The doctor addresses childhood fears, deep feelings, old grievances and experiences.

Psychotherapists use three methods of putting a person into a trance.

Classic hypnosis. Such influence helps to completely subjugate the patient. Work with an individual is carried out using strict verbal commands. If the doctor does not have the necessary qualifications and experience, this type of trance can be harmful to the patient. Classical hypnosis is used to treat addicted people because it addresses their hidden fears. There are many classical techniques, but only in 25% of patients the subconscious is receptive to this type of hypnotic influence.
Ericksonian hypnosis. This type of work with the subconscious is named after the famous physician who practiced in the twentieth century, Milton Erickson. During a session, the psychotherapist turns to the hidden reserves of a person’s psyche, and does not subjugate him to himself. Having gained access to consciousness, the hypnotist turns to accumulated experience, hidden experiences, painful attitudes and secret desires. The basics of this type of hypnosis are widely used not only in psychiatry, but also in the media, marketing, politics and pedagogy.
Regressive hypnosis. While working with a patient, the hypnotist turns to the past. Most of the complexes that cause people to suffer in adulthood were instilled in early childhood. Psycho-emotional traumas, family conflicts, lack of love and understanding of parents, sexual violence that a person once experienced torment him throughout his life and give him no peace.

The psychotherapist selects the method of work individually, focusing on the needs of the patient.

Hypnosis with an object

To fix consciousness, the psychotherapist uses things such as a metal ball, pen, or key during the session. The main rule: they must be placed at least 25-30 cm from the patient’s eyes. After the person has fully concentrated on the subject, the hypnotist makes various suggestions. For example: “We are carefully watching my palm! Up and down! Up and down! You get a feeling of pleasant relaxation and bliss! You want to sleep more and more! Your eyes are closing!”

The patient experiences a feeling of pleasant relaxation, heaviness of the body, drowsiness, and light drowsiness. He falls into a hypnotic sleep. The verbal messages spoken by the doctor help the patient to more clearly feel the changes occurring in the body and mind. Often, a doctor will use a countdown to help a person relax. Suggestions can be made without the help of objects. To do this, the individual must take a relaxed position and lie comfortably on the sofa.

Three yeses

Inside each person lives a strict censor who does not allow outside interference. Attitudes and moral principles govern everyone's life. Focusing on his internal dogmas, a person either shares the views of other people or adheres to his own opinion. By using a psychological technique called three “yes”, you can ensure that your interlocutor completely relaxes and opens his subconscious.

Research has established that if a person voluntarily agrees to various questions more than three times, then the information that comes next will be perceived by his brain as his own conclusion.

To achieve three positive responses, the hypnotist asks: “Is it summer outside now?”, “Do you like to walk in nature?”, “Do you like sunny weather?”, “Are you comfortable and warm?” The patient gives positive answers to all these questions. Finally, the main question is asked: “Does your body relax, your eyelids close, do you begin to fall asleep?” In this case, the patient will also be forced to agree, perceiving the doctor’s verbal suggestion as his own desire.

However, it should be noted that this method of hypnosis will only work if the psychotherapist has previously met with the patient and gained his trust and respect. If during a session a person constantly thinks about other things (he is thirsty, does not like the atmosphere of the office, the light from the window is disturbing), then there will be no success.

Three “yes” - a method of inducing trance, used by a hypnologist only after achieving confidential contact with the patient

Five steps

Before starting such a psychoanalysis session, it is necessary that the individual agrees to follow all your orders and advice. The method is very simple but effective. Once contact with the patient has been established, the following manipulations must be carried out:

approach a person sitting on a chair and extend your right palm;
ask the patient to raise their hand and touch you;
within a few minutes you should feel the contact, applying pressure with your palms: all joint movements must be carried out very slowly;
Next, you need to address the patient with a verbal order: “Take a deep breath! Close your eyes!";
after the patient has done what you told him, sharply remove your hand and confidently pronounce the instruction: “Sleep!”

Shaking hands

Immersion in a trance is carried out by shaking hands, which is confirmed each time by certain verbal instructions. It is important that a person feels all the physiological changes that the psychotherapist programs him for.

The first squeeze should be accompanied by the following words: “You are safe! You feel warm and good!” Second, touching the patient’s hand: “You are completely relaxed! Your eyelids become heavy and your eyes close!” The final handshake should be accompanied by the phrase: “You are slowly falling asleep!”

Fractional method

This method of hypnosis is based on the teachings of two practicing psychotherapists: Ernst Kretschmer and John Fogg. This method of immersion in a trance helps people who do not believe in such methods of treatment and are afraid of other people's interference in their psyche.

First, the psychotherapist puts the person into a state of light drowsiness, and then pronounces the necessary suggestion: “I count to three! After that, you will wake up, and I will send you back to sleep, which will last much longer! Upon completion of the first part of hypnosis, the patient is asked to analyze his feelings and determine what experiences and emotions bothered him during the session. Having made the appropriate conclusions, the doctor conducts a repeat session.

Confusion

This method is used with skeptical patients who do not believe in the power of hypnosis. During the session, the doctor gives the person several contradictory instructions, thereby completely confusing the patient.

When he is completely disoriented, the command is given to relax, close his eyes and fall asleep.

Triple helix

The patient's attention is diverted to the conversation with the psychotherapist. The doctor begins to tell one story, then, stopping in the middle, starts a new story, and again without finishing, remembers the third story, which he completely ends.

As a result, the person remembers the details of only the first two stories, and completely forgets about the third, although the psychotherapist included special verbal suggestions there.

Fakir's way

This type of hypnosis was invented back in 1813 by Abbot Faria, who put people into a trance using a gaze. During sessions, the psychotherapist does not use any additional objects. This technique is used to treat alcohol and drug addicts.

Establishing close visual contact with the patient, the doctor gives him a verbal instruction: “You look into my eyes! Your body relaxes, your arms become sluggish and your legs become heavy! Your eyes gradually close and you fall asleep! You're falling asleep! You're falling asleep! You sleep until I wake you up!” All this time, the doctor looks into the eyes of his patient, without blinking or looking away.

These are just some of the hypnosis techniques that psychotherapists use in their practice. Leading specialists with extensive experience develop their own effective techniques that help them work with the psyche of patients and achieve positive results.

How to determine your ability to hypnosis

Many are convinced that the ability to put a person into a trance depends on the individual characteristics of neurophysiology. That is, that there are special individuals who have the gift of magnetism or the ability to suppress the will and establish order, making puppets of the weak. It is a myth. It will be very difficult for a person with such attitudes to influence others, since an arrogant attitude does not contribute to establishing trust.

The brain's mirror neurons are responsible for empathy and the ability to accept another person's point of view. People whose functioning of these neurons is disrupted are not able to empathize and try to understand others. They see others only as puppets, and not equal people with their own needs and goals.

Therefore, instead of trying to understand the person, they begin to “push,” causing a reaction of rejection. They are looking for methods of hypnotic suppression of someone else's will, alpha hypnosis and other aggressive levers of influence on others. Such people are physiologically incapable of other actions. They love to manipulate, choosing as their victims people with impaired psychological defenses.

For those who know how to defend themselves and avoid contact out of a sense of personal hostility, the manipulator thinks that they are afraid of him. This gives such people the feeling that they have the gift of influencing others.

How to test your ability to hypnosis? There are a lot of different tests to test hypnotic abilities. It follows from them that a person who wants to learn how to influence people must have the following character traits:

be able to persuade;
have a well-spoken speech;
be successful and self-confident;
often win in disputes;
serve as an authority for many, inspire respect;
have success with the opposite sex;
be insightful, have developed intuition.

But if the test result is disappointing, then it is worth knowing that hypnosis and self-hypnosis are used to develop these same abilities. That is, a specialist can suggest that you are improving every day and activate hidden resources.

Why is hypnosis needed?

Hypnotic practices are used in two cases:

Voluntary hypnosis. It is used when a person himself wants to change his psychological state for the better. In this case, hypnosis is used to free the subject from negative attitudes, emotions, and to relieve painful memories from the past.
In the second case, hypnosis is used when the person himself does not suspect that he is being put into a hypnotic state. This kind of hypnosis is used by scammers in order to gain profit: to cloud a person’s consciousness and “pull” money out of him, to force him to act in the interests of the hypnotist.

Voluntary hypnosis is used for good purposes - with its help you can force a person to quit smoking, get rid of complexes, tensions, and cure some disease.

Secret hypnosis is always harmful because it forces a person to act against his will. The technique of such hypnosis is often used in sects; it is used by gypsies. You've probably heard stories about people who gave all their money to a fortune teller on the street, or about cult members who donated all their property to its leaders.

We will talk specifically about voluntary hypnosis. It solves problems such as:

Phobias, fears, obsessions that poison a person’s life and prevent him from realizing himself.
Bad habits and addictions: smoking, alcoholism, drug addiction, gambling addiction, codependency. It is important that the subject himself is ready to be cured.
Self-doubt, complexes, psychological pressures - everything that interferes with relationships, career growth, and socialization of a person.
Amnesia. Hypnosis can help restore memory to a person experiencing amnesia after a disaster, personal tragedy, or other difficult situations experienced.
Depression and stress. Sometimes they reach a severe stage and the person is not able to cope with the problem on his own. Hypnosis helps to pull the subject out of this painful state and begin to enjoy life again.

There are a great variety of hypnotic techniques that can put a person into a trance. We will look at the simplest ones.

Functions of the hypnotic gaze

How to hypnotize with your gaze? The hypnosis technique involves an influence that allows you to turn off the victim’s consciousness: the person understands what is happening, but cannot logically comprehend every statement he hears. To hypnotize, you need to understand what motivates a person, what his capabilities and defensive reactions are. Each hypnotist is responsible for putting another person into trance (a state bordering between sleep and wakefulness).

Weak people can be immersed in a trance using a minimal set of tools - monotonous speech, tactile contact, a pendulum or a coin that moves along one trajectory

They help to concentrate attention on one process. For people with strong psychic defenses, additional conditions will need to be created: their resistance interferes with conducting a hypnosis session

The gaze is the main tool of hypnosis. It helps to carry out suggestion quickly. In such cases, it is not advisable to use additional tools. You should not use deep hypnosis for small manipulations or small changes in the consciousness of the hypnotized person.

Features of application

How does a hypnotist use his gaze? He fixes it on a specific point on which all the person’s attention is focused. The victim can take his eyes off the hypnotist, but does not want to

A hypnotic gaze helps in the following cases:

when you need to conduct an urgent hypnosis session (in an inappropriate or crowded place);
when the suggestion is superficial, and there is no need to subject the person to unnecessary mental stress;
when you need to conduct covert hypnosis.

Doctors who help patients get rid of bad habits, overcome a phobia or cure a mental disorder take a special look. Hypnosis is suitable for quickly correcting a person’s behavior, then the color of the eyes or their shape is a trigger (a detail around which a strong suggestion is built).

Anyone can master the gaze for hypnosis, but this technique of immersion in semi-trance requires long-term study

It is easier for people with charisma and attractiveness to gain skills - their appearance automatically attracts attention

Education

Eye hypnosis is an additional technique. To begin with, the basics of technology are mastered, and only after training are additional skills developed. Exercises done at home help you understand and try the procedure. The more practice you have, the easier it is to use eye hypnosis in real life.

The hypnotic gaze is beneficial for people, and putting the individual into a trance is not necessary. This skill helps to manipulate others and get everything you need from them. It forms the basis of NLP (neurolinguistic programming) and is used to achieve set goals.

Educational program on hypnosis

Ready to dial, stop. State your request clearly. Please first look at the articles on hypnosis in order to have a clear understanding of the phenomenon and perhaps dispel fears and myths:

Hypnosis training" ❂ FB group "Psychosomatics. Treatment of fears and phobias with hypnosis"

Hypnosis and recovery from it

The next stage is hypnosis itself. In this state, a person loses the ability to look at things critically

. At the same time, he will remember and realize everything. If you're not yet confident in your suggestion skills, try hypnotizing a cat.

There are different techniques

you can pet an animal and it will gain trust in you and simply fall asleep;
you can use the moment of surprise and catch the animal during a jump, grab it by the scruff of the neck and turn it over in the air;
use mechanical methods of influence: the cat looks at the washing machine or at the clock, etc.

There are a sufficient number of videos on how to learn hypnosis. And you can try to hypnotize both animals and people. Remember that individual phrases and methods work

influences during hypnosis. However, never try to scare or do anything illegal.

The fact that a person is immersed in a state of hypnosis will be notified by his uniform breathing and peaceful appearance.

. Try to match the rhythm of his breathing. Don't speak too fast, but don't drawl your words either.

A relatively small stage will be the exit from hypnosis. Take the person out slowly but surely. For example, count out loud to five and ask them to open their eyes

Remember to emphasize that it was a positive experience and ask the person to talk about how they felt

How to induce hypnosis

Get the consent of the person you will practice on. Please note that if he does not believe in the effects of hypnosis, is skeptical about this method of treatment, or is afraid that the session will be unsuccessful, nothing will work out. For trial meetings, choose a person who will listen to you and carry out all your orders. Hypnosis cannot be used on mentally unstable people who have nervous disorders and pathologies of brain activity.

Preliminary conversation

Most people have little idea what hypnosis is and what effect it has on the body, so the preparatory conversation must necessarily include explanations on this topic. This is done so that your interlocutor has an idea of what will happen to him and is not afraid. It is equally important to understand why a hypnotherapy session was needed and what problems he wants to solve in this way. Very often, hypnotic sleep is resorted to to relax, relieve the effects of stress, increase the body's defenses, increase concentration and enhance mental activity.

You should find out whether the person has attended similar sessions before. Scientists have found that people who have been hypnotized fall into trance more easily in subsequent sessions. If a person is turning to hypnosis for the first time, keep in mind that it will be much more difficult for you to work with him.

Situation

Find a secluded room where no one will disturb you. It is important that your interlocutor is calm and relaxed. He should feel comfortable around you. Invite the person to take a comfortable position in a chair or on the sofa. Turn on quiet music that will accompany all your actions. Remove distracting objects, turn off the TV and phone - no one or nothing should interrupt you.

The hypnologist needs to create a calming environment so that the patient can relax

Procedure

The session should begin with the following phrases: “You are safe! You are calm and peaceful! Your eyelids are gradually getting heavier! The body relaxes, you feel comfortable and good! Peace envelops you! You listen carefully to what I tell you and follow all my instructions!”

It is necessary to regulate the breathing of the person you are putting into trance. To do this, he needs to take not very deep and frequent breaths and slow exhalations. You can breathe at the same time as your interlocutor, then it will be easier for him to adjust to the desired rhythm. The main thing is to control his actions: “Take a deep breath and fill your lungs with air!” As you exhale, say the following phrase: “Exhale slowly, there should be no air left in your lungs!” Spend as much time as needed on this step. As a result, your partner should completely relax and trust you.

Once your breathing is synchronized, let your feet relax, then your knees, hips, torso and arms, gradually reaching your face. Give the person confidence that everything is going well and he is doing a great job with all your commands.

After complete relaxation, the partner should immerse himself. Concentrate his attention on the inner sensations: “You are safe and completely relaxed! Your body is covered in bliss and warmth! Peace and tranquility accompany your every action! A feeling of heaviness in the muscles covers the whole body, and you gradually fall asleep! Look at your partner's body language to gauge how they are feeling. To achieve a hypnotic effect, this phrase can be repeated several times in a row.

What causes coma?

The coma is caused by impaired blood circulation in the brain and/or toxic damage to the cells of the central nervous system. These pathologies arise for the following reasons:

head injuries;
drowning, suffocation, cardiac arrest;
stroke;
decompensated diabetes mellitus;
meningitis, encephalitis;
kidney or liver dysfunction as a result of poisoning or disease;
epileptic seizures that follow one after another.

In addition, there is an artificial medical coma. It is used as an alternative to anesthesia if a neurosurgical operation is performed, as well as when the patient is brought out of an epileptic state.

The history of hypnosis

The history of hypnosis goes back at least three millennia. It is known that the ancient shamans and priests of Ancient Egypt were perfectly able to put people into a trance; it was successfully used in Ancient India and Tibet. Hypnotic sessions were conducted by healers of Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece. Then, with the help of hypnosis, they raised the morale of soldiers, looked into the future and treated diseases.

The term “hypnosis” itself appeared only in 1843 after a year earlier the English doctor J. Braid proved that transferring attention and gaze to a shiny object plunges the human body and consciousness into a special state. It was then that suggestion acquired a scientific character. In the 19th century, the opinions of scientists were divided: some recognized the possibility of suggestion, others opposed hypnosis. Nothing has changed since then.

To this day, two camps of researchers (opponents and supporters of hypnosis) are engaged in endless debate on this topic, which, undoubtedly, only fuels public interest in hypnosis.

Collective hypnosis.

They do it like this. A person wishing to participate in hypnosis is called from the audience onto the stage, the presenter (hypnotist), pretending that he is helping the person climb a step, delivers an instant blow to the back of the head and squeezes his chin with his hand. Everything will look flawless and the audience will not notice anything if hypnosis is performed by a professional. The secret is that the hypnotized person enters a state of altered consciousness through a precise push to the neck and squeezing the chin for a short time. After the hypnotist has completed these actions, he strictly orders the person: “Sleep! Get to sleep quickly! You suddenly fall asleep!”

To carry out hypnosis, take a small shiny object (often a small mirror or a nickel-plated ball is used for hypnosis). The object is placed in front of the person’s eyes at forehead level opposite the bridge of the nose. This forces the hypnotized person to bring his eyes to one point and as a result he is subject to hypnosis

Ways to train your eyes

The concentration of gaze varies among people: it depends on the vision and thinking of the individual. While eye hypnosis is easy for some, others cannot cope with this practice. It is used through visual contact only if the hypnotist is visual (perceives the world around him better through the eyes, rather than other senses). For such people, eyeball exercises are useful.

How to learn to concentrate:

a circle the size of a coin is drawn;
installed at eye level (hung on the wall or furniture);
the hypnotist sits in front of the sheet (the distance should be at least 50 cm);
looks intently at one point on the sheet for a minute (you cannot be distracted or close your eyes for a long time);
relaxes for a minute;
At the second stage of the exercise, the concentration point is shifted one meter to the right (you cannot turn your head);
the gaze is concentrated for a minute, after which the eyes rest again;
the concentration point is shifted one meter to the left, after which the exercise is repeated.

If you learn to concentrate on one point, your eyes will stop watering. Thanks to this durability, the hypnotist will be able to put strangers into a trance without additional attributes

Load on the eye muscles

The hypnotic professional look takes years to develop. This requires good vision and healthy eyes. A simple warm-up is used to train the muscles. Starting position: standing against the wall. The hypnotist should look at all three corners of the room. Alternately, the gaze is transferred from one to the second, and then to the third.

Focuses on points that are located at the same height. It is useful to rotate the pupils clockwise

This warm-up can be done anywhere (at work or in transport). To hypnotize only with your eyes, do not forget about rest, as constant stress on the muscles leads to decreased vision and concentration.

General recommendations

It will take time to learn hypnosis techniques, so it is best to be patient. Self-confidence, willpower, knowledge of the basics of psychoanalysis, the ability to listen and hear other people are very important skills for a hypnotist. If he has even the slightest doubt, he will not only not conduct the session, but can also greatly harm the health of another person.

The room in which the session will be held should be isolated and comfortable, and no extraneous sounds should penetrate into it.

Requirements for a psychotherapist

To successfully put a person into a trance, a psychotherapist must have experience in such work. He must be a mentally healthy person, without internal fears and phobias, or harmful addictions. You cannot use the basics of hypnosis to harm other people. Psychology books and video tutorials can be used as aids for learning hypnosis methods.

Voice

An important tool with which a person is immersed in a trance is the voice of a psychotherapist. To influence a person and make him obey, it must be a pleasant timbre with correct pronunciation and without an accent. The hypnotist’s manner of speech is not loud and shouty, but confident and calm. The voice should evoke only one desire in the patient - complete submission.

Conversation

Before using hypnosis, the doctor does a lot of preliminary work with his patient. Such communication makes it possible to get to know a person, instill trust in him, understand what kind of help he needs, and which method of hypnosis is best to use.

You need to establish contact with the person. To do this, during a conversation, you should completely copy his posture, facial expressions, and manner of speech, thereby arousing sympathy and affection. After he has relaxed, you can move on to the hypnosis process.

Before the session, the hypnologist must talk with the patient

Exercise

If you want to master the secrets of hypnosis, you should learn to concentrate your attention on the same subject for a long time. To do this, draw a black circle (2–4 cm in diameter) on a landscape sheet. Hang it at eye level. Having moved away to a distance of 2.5 m, concentrate your attention on the drawing. Look closely at it for 15 minutes. Next, complicate the task: walk around the room and look at the circle from different sides.
