Hypnosis & Suggestions - A Brief Handout
- Mirror
- Rapport
- Pace, Merging, YES Sets, ALWAYS ON MY MIND PART I & II, WIN-WIN RELATIONSHIPS &
PERFORMANCES, A RAPPORT BUILDING TECHNIQUE
- Elicite Criteria
- Lead
- Alpha state
- Anchor: state of minds, ideas, linguistic pattern intterupts anything
- Language Patterns: remember the use of high and low pitch, and the use of the
pause, HIDDEN DIRECTIVES, commands hidden within Q's, PRESUPPOSITIONS, as you ...
you
well ..., as if the idea is already accepted, BINDS & DOUBLE BINDS, the more/less
you x ... the more/less you ..., EMBEDDED COMMANDS, no formal example of it, try to
hide a command in a Q, in a metaphor, in a phrase, quote and so on
is an incredible thing, evidenced by the fact that your LEFT HAND is now beginning
to sag and pull itself down towards the floor while your RIGHT HAND starts lifting
higher and higher into the sky, easily and naturally. Do this now� Up and up and
up, higher, higher and higher your RIGHT HAND lifts into the air. This is the power
of
your mind and imagination at work! Your LEFT ARM feels heavier and heavier, heavier
and heavier growing tired and weary from the weight of the sand� >> it's suggested
by him that to show the spectator how to hold his hands as a part of mirroring, THE
PENDULUM TEST: the pendulum swing, I'm familir with, also a good choice
- PSYCHOLOGICAL MARKING: mark the objects, whether verbally through the tone pace
and other characters of voice, non verbally by taking a deep breath changing
position
or doing anything while mentioning the item, physically by taping changing location
and so on, anchoring can be used as well by repeating the anchor and the mark
multiple times, also you can leave some of your items on object like a chair in
chair test for example so it�s marked as yours and so on.
- ANCHORING: Elicit an emotional state in the subject, At the peak of the emotional
state set your anchor, keep re-inducing the anchor, TEST the anchor to see that it
elicits the desired emotional state or reaction/response
- The 3 minutes induction: this is an induction by Dave Elman which I will be using
as the basic structure, more inductions to come later: "Place your feet flat on the
floor and place your hands palm down in your lap. Good. Now just pick a spot on the
wall and stare at that spot without moving a muscle. Take a long deep breath
through your nose and hold it in. Exhale slowly though your mouth and relax� Take a
second long deep breath through your nose, hold it, exhale slowly through your
mouth and intend to relax even more deeply now� Now take a third long deep breath
through your nose, exhale slowly and relax even deeper and deeper still�almost to
the
point where it feels like you?re drifting off to sleep; deeply relaxed, listening
intently to the sound of my voice and my instructions�that?s good� Now gently allow
your eyes to close down all the way (if their eyes are already closed just say,
�now with your eyes closed? and move onto the next paragraph)�that?s right, all the
way
closed, becoming even more deeply and deeper relaxed still with every breath and
heartbeat. You?re doing perfectly. Now I?d like you to relax all the tiny little
muscles around your eyes, relaxing them so much that they just won?t work, and they
don?t want to work. And when you?re sure that ALL the little muscles around your
eyes are so relaxed that they just won?t work and don?t even want to work, I want
you to test those muscles so you can see for yourself that they just don?t have to
work for the next few moments. That?s fine, you?re doing perfectly� Now go ahead
and stop trying and send a wave of relaxation from the top of your head to the
bottom
of your feet. Allow this wave of deep relaxation to wash over your body easily and
naturally� In just a moment I?m going to pick up your left/right arm by the wrist.
As I do this, I want you to let that arm be completely loose, limp and relaxed,
heavy � just like a soft, heavy blanket. Good. Allow that soft, warm blanket of
relaxation to surround your entire body. Now when I drop your hand back down into
your lap I want you to DOUBLE your relaxation. That?s right � perfect. Just allow
your mind and your thoughts and your stress to melt away for a few moments. This is
good. Now I am going to pick up your right/left arm by the wrist (use the opposite
arm of before) and just let that arm be as loose, limp and relaxed as that (other)
arm is. Very good� When I drop your arm down let yourself sink even 10 times deeper
into this peaceful state of relaxation you?ve found yourself in right now. At this
point you may notice what a profound state of peace and deep relaxation you are
capable of enjoying really feels like. Take a few moments and enjoy it. I?ll wait�
(Pause for a few moments) Now I?ll show you how to clear your mind completely and
achieve a perfect state of mental relaxation as well� I?m going to ask you to start
counting backwards in just a moment from 100 down to 97. Each time you say a
number,
say the words �DEEPER ASLEEP? and double your relaxation, and by the time you reach
97 you?ll be so relaxed that all those numbers will just fade away and disappear
naturally on their own. Expect it to happen, allow it to happen and I promise you
it WILL HAPPEN easily and naturally. Begin counting out loud now, please.
(Encourage
your subject to relax as they count down from 100 to 97). When your subject arrives
at the number 97 say, And there goes the numbers, fading away from your mind very
gently now�
Each time you experience hypnosis in this way you will relax faster and deeper,
deeper and faster still � all the time listening to the sound of my voice and my
instructions� Whenever I say the word �SLEEP? your eyes close and your body
relaxes, easily and naturally, transporting you instantly back into this deep,
peaceful
state of bliss and relaxation� Each time you experience hypnosis in this way, with
me, you will be able to relax even faster and deeper with each session."
- The Basic Deepener: again this is the basic structure as deepeners might be
around anything, �Allow all of the sounds around you to assist you in relaxing even
more�?
�The sound of my voice and my instructions allows/causes you to drift into a
deeper, more complete state of peace and relaxation with each and every moment
BECAUSE that
it how hypnosis works�? �Sitting there now and listening to my voice and my
instructions CAUSES you to become more deeply relaxed. The more relaxed you become
the
deeper you drift into a peaceful and powerful state of trance now�? �The faster and
deeper you drift into this natural state of peace and relaxation the better
hypnosis
works for you�? �Each breath you take now causes you to become even more and more
relaxed, easily and naturally�? �Each easy beat of your heart causes you to become
more calm and relaxed now, listening gently and intently to the sound of my voice
and my instructions�? Expect your perfect trance to happen, allow it to happen and
realize that your perfect trance IS happening now in perfect time and in perfect
order�? with fractionation is another technique
- Remember the 5 star opener and the use of it and other mentalism pieces as
inductions >> this way you can perfectly and naturally build rapport and connect
more
- THE HYPNOTIC BOOK TEST: can be accessed by holding the book with the left hand,
the right index on the right upper corner with the edge to the spectator right on
the
end of the first foruth of the finger, or, the back edge on the line of the distal
interphalangeal, don't move your fingers and don't apply much pressure, just with
the help of the thumb, pull the pages toward you they'll riffle until they reach
the break
- PROGRESSIVE RELAXATION WITH THE HYPNOTIC BOOK TEST: this is a way to create a
trance state simply by performing mentalism< the idea is to let them think of their
word, the number of letters, the first letter, middle, last and with each piece you
gonna springboard, think of the number, I feel the month of August, think of the
first letter, a common name, I feel the name of X, with each revelation you let
them go even deeper, and deeper until a full trance is reached when you reveal the
final
piece, here you tell them that everything you say gonna be their reality
suggestion, then do whatever you want
- RELAXATION & VISUALIZATION: let them take cyclical breaths, inhale to the count
of 4, hold to 4, exhale to 4, hold to 4, and do that again
is so relaxed, they just wont work, I want you to actively pretend and imagine your
eye are so relaxed, every tiny muscle and nerve fiber, in and around your eyes are
so relaxed, they just wont work, if you would hold on to that relaxation, so when
they are that relaxed I want you to hold on that relaxation, and just test them, I
know it's a strange feeling, you can stop testing now and just relax, The Stiff
Arm, you said you're a right handed right?! so can I borrow your left arm, I want
you
to make a tight fist with this hand, as tight as you can, keep your eyes there 'to
a point on the back of their hand', fixed on one spot, and take a deep breath in,
and as you breathe out just close your eyes, and concentrate on that fist making it
as tight as you can, imagine it right from your shoulder, through your triceps,
into your forearm, getting stiffer and stiffer, your forearm getting tighter and
tighter, your triceps stiffer and stiffer, your wrist like one solid unit,
concentrate on that idea you have a steal bar runing from here 'touch the
shoulder', to here 'the wrist', you find when you try to bend your arm you find it
stuck
stiff and rigid, put some effort and try to bend it I know it's a strange feeling,
and when I touch it you can relax your arm, open your eyes and you're ready for
your next instruction, Card Drop 'Calof', you're right handed or left handed, take
this card and hold on the corner of it, as tight as you can between your thumb and
index 'and flex their wrist as possible', and I want you to look at this corner
'the opposite one to the one they are holding', as if you are interested in this
corner, keep staring keep looking, as you look at it I want you to repeat in your
mind, I'm going to drop this, I'm going to drop this, and close your eyes, and keep
picturing the corner while repeating the exact phrase again and again, I'm going to
drop this, I'm going to drop this, and as you keep repeating this in your mind
you'll notice it's interesting to find that your fingers are stuck to the card, you
cannot drop the card as your fingers are stuck to the card, even if you try to
drop it, you'll find the harder you try to drop the card the more you fingers are
stuck to that card, it's a wierd feeling, when I click my fingers of course you can
your eyes will close but try keeping them on that spot, the third time I shake
you're going to deep sleep of hypnosis, so yes keep your focus on that eye, here I
shake your hand one, your eyes are tight, here two your eyes are heavier and
heavier, 3 'as you're doing this shake bring your other hand in front of their
faces in a
down sweeping motion with a snap and continue' close your eyes and sleep deeper and
deeper, sinking floating and drifting into a deep and nice state of relaxation, a
good trick is as you speak to them before the actual shakes you can gently shake
their hand in an unnoticed motion that is in rhythm with the breathing pattern,
this
will make their mind more ready and accepting), Ambigous Touch Handshake Induction
'Erickson' (keep holding their hand, just keep your eyes fixed here just look at
here, pause, thats right, take a deep breath in 'as you say this start relaxing
your holding hand and with your other hand soppurt theirs to remain still in the
same
position', as you breathe out just close your eyes and relax thats right, you'll go
deeper and deeper more relax sinking floating drifting, and I'm gonna count 3 to 1,
as I count your hand can drop down, and as it drops down and the muscles relax you
can do the same thing drop down in inside into a comfortable state and relax, 3
thats right, and all the way down just relax >> the idea is the mind is not
expecting to shake and keep holding, it expects to shake and disengage, and as you
speek
they gonna forget their hand in that position), The Rehersal Induction (are left
handed or right handed?!, in a moment I'm gonna show you how to go into hypnosis, I
want you to have complete control over this, whats gonna happen is this, I'm gonna
take out your wrist, I'm gonna lift it up, and when it go about here 'shoulder
hight' that will be the point where you go into hypnosis, I push it down again and
you'll be back in normal way again, so I'm gonna do this many times, you'll notice
when your hand reach certain point you gonna feel some sensation, your eye gonna
feel heavier, and they wanna close, and I'll push it down so you'll be back into
the
conversation,so I wanna you to get the sensation and the feeling for this when it
gets up to that point, thats right, you'll feel your eyes gonna be heavier that
will
be the point where your eyes gonna close, and it'll be hanging their as if it's
held by a wire, and when I push it down you be back again, now I'm gonna lift it
up,
to a certain point, your eyes close, and you relaxed, and go down again, thats
right, again I'm gonna lift your hands, and your hands feels lighter this time,
your
eyes are closed your hand gonna be hanging their on a wire for a while just relax
and go deeper and deeper and deeper to the sleep, not really a sleep but deep
relaxation of your nervous system and letting go, I'm gonna push your hand down and
you gonna be wide awake full awarness and full alert >> each rehersal you add some
steps, once you feel their hand go by itself, continue with the actual induction
part)
- Deepening: let their head fall down, direct command, go deeper, 2 times 10 times,
link what you're doing to going deeper, as your hand drops, as x done go 2 times
deeper, count down, loops, as you breathe, heart beat, every sound/word, pace and
lead, a pace it to watch what they do and focus on it, or to pace your actions and
words to their so you're with them on the same wave, then lead it to the desired
outcome, as your head fall down, as your eyes flick, as your hand twiches
- Fractionation: you induce hypnosis, wake them up, re-induce, wake, induce and so
on, this gonna put them in
further deeper state of hypnosis
- Remember to let them nod, agree, and comfirm
- Wake them UP, remove any suggestion, charge them with positive energizing idea
and thoughts
- What's coming in The Trilby Connection are some routines and ideas in vol.2 and
the bonus vol, so it's better to either read them or watch them again
- From Anthony's the manchurian approach this is the opening formula: complement,
introduction, question, that's it
- Remember the can you questions!!! instead of how I say, I want you, use the can
you "YES Sets"
- Remember to use the important line while doing the set piece: "when I say 1 2
wide awake you will open your eyes come back to the room and be ready for your next
instruction, or ready to be hypnotised"
- Remember to always complement, thats right your hand is doing so and so, thats
right your eyes are so, thats right, even of nothing is happening, that's right
your
hand is ...
- A good line from the manchurian approach when you fraction for 3 times the third
time "and when I say 1 2 wide awake you'll open your eyes and be ready to accept
every suggestion I give you"
- From TMA .. everything you do deepen the state .. as the hand lift ... when you
open your eyes ... when you close your eyes ... when your hand is stuck
- a good line can be used sometimes ... everything I say will become your reality,
because you have a super powerful mind ... give some complement or positive words
- emphasize on the word Just for the time
- Some importatn effects from the manchurian approach: the hypno force, you tell
them when I ask you to think of so, you gonna change your mind few times, and you
gonna
settle on X, and it'll seem a completely free choice for you, and you'll forget
that you ever been hypnotised, the hypno peek, you gave them the suggestion that
they'll
believe you're the greatest mind reader in the world, then you tell them to say a
question you couldn't know the answer to and tell you the answer, then you give
them
amnesia,
Igor Ledochowski:
- The Basic Steps: build rapport, ABS, YES sets, piggyback, 4 Power Words, Language
Patterns from thought veil
- The 4 stage hypnotic protocol (ABS formula), Absorb attention, bypass the
critical factor, elicit subcncs, 4 lead the response
- Remember the rapport building tips, not too much, not too nice, not too hard, use
a technique that can build instant or hypnotic rapport, try to make people build
rapport with you by making them want to ask
- The signal recognition system: pupil dilation, according the lighting of the
room, mostly there will be dilation, slowing down of the pulse, or fasting as well
can
be a sign sometimes, you can notice that on the neck or the ankle, change in the
pattern of breathing, most likely a slow down, sometimes a fast breathing according
the suggestion or something you're saying, facial features begin to smooth out and
be symmetrical, a sign that they're elaxing, attention is absorbed, their attention
is fixed, change in people�s blink reflex more to be slower, might be faster and
might even be stoped, change in the swallowing mechanism, immobility of movement,
involuntary muscle twitches, changes in skin colour, or skin tone itself, as more,
or sometimes less blood that comes/goes out from the skin the skin colour might
change as people enter different state of mind, voices will also change, slower,
sometimes will stop speaking, an increase in passive responses, less argumentative,
making hypnotic phrases using the themes of, relaxation comfort and learning, using
the 4 power words, as, and, because, and means), Exercise 3 (the same as ex 2 but
this time use the linguistic bridges that are found on the back of the book, this
time try to cut, shuffle them, and pick one at random, and start build your own
inductions, these 2 exercises are really important), Exercise 4 (now take all the
inductions you built and build them in an everyday type of conversation, whatever
your career is), Exercise 5+6 (are about tonality and command and questions
important), Exercise 7 (is to put everything together! take all what you've learned
on this
CD, build and record the inductions, lesten to them and see what you feel, highly
powerful and recommeded), Exercise 8 (start doing what you learned with people,
engage it to your conversation), Exercises 2,3,4,7,8 are the most important and are
a must to be practiced)
- use the piggy back suggestion >> yes-set + compliment + suggestion (the piggy
back using the language patterns from Jerome) = hypnotic suggestion
- Persistence tactics: Persistence Tactic 1: The Hypnotic Triple, repetition
creates reinforcement, which creates the reality at the end, Persistence Tactic 2:
Seeding
Hypnotic Ideas, is to put the seed suggestion and keep visiting in an indirect way,
Persistence Tactic 3: The Law Of Successive Approximations, is to give one shot of
a
suggestion take them one step further each time, Persistence Tactic 4: The Law Of
Compounding Effect, for each accepted suggestion, the person becomes further more
suggestible each time like the yes-set.
Nico Heinrich
Dopamine
Entrance (a hands-off induction or suggestibility test that is good and worth a
try, �have you ever noticed that you don�t recognise yourself blinking, as you�re
focusing on the outer world?! However now I mentioned, it you cannot ignore it
anymore, do you feel how your focus is shifting as well?! Every time you try to
concentrate on your surroundings, the next blink will pull you back inside your own
head, it almost feels as if you�re blinking more than you would normally would, the
more you try to keep your eyes open, the more they want to close ... now!�),
Imperceptible coin (this is a routine where you put a coin into their hand and they
loss
the sensation of it, can be used as a suggestion or to build further suggestions,
this is done by simply letting them using their index to draw a circle around the
coin
multiple times they'll eventually loss the sensation of it),
