This is an example of a basic indirect (storytelling/metaphorical) induction and a demonstration of two post hypnotic suggestions.

However, the danger of hypnosis (specifically recreational hypnosis) lies in not properly learning suggestion formation and the effects of hypnosis, being sloppy with suggestions (not knowing what to avoid doing), and not following strict ethics—to name just a few things. Be careful. Learn hypnosis ethics, safety and proper execution before you attempt to hypnotize anyone.

Im pretty good at hypnosis now but have a question. When i do suggestions, my subject seems to be completely focused unlike this video where as your client seems to be well awake. He also forgets everything that happens. Do i have to tell him he is aware and awake to get the result you did?

The video demonstrations posted here are meant to be visual aids to help students learn hypnosis and to help introduce the general public to hypnosis via informative and occasionally amusing/entertaining videos.
Thank you for posting your comments. You have asked a very good question. In order to answer you appropriately and thoroughly, I have written you via YouTube email because there is not enough room in the comment area to answer in such detail.

The only problem I have with hypnosis is that every demonstration I have seen looks like a parlour game, and alongside this, clients are never induced to do anything exceptional.
Even in this demonstration the client doesn’t respond vigorously to the trigger words, it suggests to me there are limits in the usefulness of hypnosis to the client.
I’m looking to make a significant change in my personality, how much can be achieved with hypnosis?

Educational. It’s interesting to note how you use your voice and body language to help invoke a sympathetic response from your client.
It makes me realise that people are implicitly doing this kind of thing all the time in their interactions with others.

Suggestions can linger perpetually in various ways, depending on (but not limited to): (1) the type of suggestion, (2) the way the suggestion was delivered to the client, (3) the depth of the client’s state of hypnosis when the suggestion was given and (4) the level of suggestibility of the client. Therefore, it is always best to remove any recreational suggestions before the end the hypnosis session.

hm. that’s interesting! do these suggestions erase themselves over time, or do you have to hypnotize him again to undo the commands?

i would think in regards to jon that its not so much about speed that makes hypnosis important. It where it takes you i mean. Looking at some of your other videos opening up someone mine can help them with physical fitness and other important things. Most important thing i think is the experience you get out of a session so i think speed would ruin this kind of style of hypnosis

Although deepeners are integral to inductions, most people reserve the term “deepener” to refer to the various techniques used after the proper induction is completed. So, one might choose to use the “Progressive Relaxation Induction” followed by a “staircase deepener”. When talking about hypnosis (non-technically), most don’t refer to the progressive relaxation portion of the induction as a deepener, because it is the induction itself. The staircase visualization would be called the deepener.

When analyzing inductions technically, every induction (even a rapid or instant induction) is comprised of the initial moment of hypnosis followed by what could be deemed as deepeners. However, the entire process is called an induction. For example, the traditional Progressive Relaxation Induction is comprised of eye fixation followed by a long series of deepeners (relaxing each body part); yet the entire process is called The Progressive Relaxation Induction.

I agree about the eye fixation the questions is does that in and of itself actually cause the hypnotic connection – for years Braid didn’t use anything else, and indeed until Erickson it was the accustomed way to induce. I think that the words after the “stare at the spot” is actually a deepener rather than an “Induction”. It’s interesting to think when the hypnosis actually occurs.

Often clients enter a light state of hypnosis much faster than hypnotists realize. But this initial state might not be adequate for what the hypnotist wants to accomplish. For example, the initial goal of the hypnotist might be to guide the client to a state of somnambulism, or to establish a moderate state of hypnosis or to demonstrate/teach hypnosis (as is the case with this video–a demonstration).

John, eye fixation is a basic induction that can help a client enter the state of hypnosis rather simply and quickly, but lightly (without additional work). However, the point of this video is to demonstrate a different type of induction that goes beyond eye fixation.
Traditional approaches to inductions begin with eye fixation (EF). Although, it is not necessary to use EF, it is considered an appropriate base on which to build many types of effective inductions.

If you already tell someone to focus on red spot why is it necessary to do all the other stuff?
Isn’t he hypnotised around 30 seconds… he looks it to me but then of course I wasn’t there.

Terrific video.
I am still having a hard time with post hypnotic suggestions.
How long would those anchor words continue to provide the effect?
did you have to remove them after? or do they just fade away?
Any help on info on this would be great.
thanks

I see what you mean by metaphore, or perhaps even code. I think where I get puzzled, is in terminology, “deep” for example, what’s deep? If we go any deeper, we will be on the other side of me and in China. LOL I’m observant about language, and often end up confusing myslef more.. My interests were always in self improvements of some type, stop smoking,improve something, etc. Thanks , for your comments above on ethics, as theatrical stunts, and domination is a turn off.
Fasinating stuff!

Thank you for taking time to write your comments. I appreciate the positive feedback and observations.
Conversational hypnosis appears to be general conversation, but there is far more going on. For example, none of what I say is nonsense. On the contrary, most of it is metaphorical. Notice that my client enters the state of hypnosis long before I say the word “sleep.” This is because he is subconsciously reacting to the metaphorical language about entering the state of hypnosis.

That was pretty good. The young man seemed to be very amiable. It is interesting how so much of what you say in induction is pretty much of the wall nonsence for regular conversation, followed with an outburst command of “SLEEP”. I guess the subject figures you are somewhat in control to start with.
Great video.
