Visualization can be used both to induce trance and to make suggestions. Watch this video on insertive eye contact to learn how. But did you know that as the speaker, you can also perform a hypnotic induction on the the listener with your eye movements? This new technique was developed and tested by Stephen Brooks.
Reading the eye movements of a listener is a common use case. Are they looking to the right, accessing the conscious or the left to the subconscious? Are they fixated on one object in the room? If they are accessing the subconscious, you can make a suggestion that they are not consciously aware of. In any conversation we look for feedback from the listener to see how they react to our statements. There are two spheres of the brain – the right manages the more “creative” and conscious side and the left the “practical” and subconscious. With the pattern interrupted, the subconscious mind is suddenly open to suggestion. Instead of shaking the hand normally, the hypnotist would interrupt the pattern that our mind has established by grabbing the wrist or pulling the subject forward and off balance. The handshake technique shocks the subconscious by disrupting this common social norm. Handshakes are the most common form of greetings in our society. Milton Erickson – the father of hypnotherapy – is famous for using the handshake technique as a way to induce hypnotic trance. Here are some common methods of relaxation: They are more likely to talk to you and be open to indirect suggestions. If the client is relaxed, they may fall into trance and the mind is open to suggestion. Relaxation is a common method used by therapists and a beginner hypnosis technique. Why do therapists ask to “make yourself comfortable” and provide a cushy leather couch to lay down on? It’s more than a common courtesy. The first step of hypnosis, a hypnotic induction is the process that a hypnotist uses to put the client into a state where they are more open to suggestion (known as trance).
