Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a widely misunderstood phenomenon, that has been presented on tv in such a way as to create a completely misleading picture of what is happening.

The word hypnosis comes from the word hypnos, meaning to sleep, but in fact hypnosis is nothing to do with sleep whatsoever.

The nearest thing that hypnosis could be compared to is daydreaming, because the subject is never unconscious, and they are always in control, but they are helped into a natural state where their mind allows suggestions to slip into the subconscious.

Traditionally a person is hypnotised by listening to a hypnotic script, where they are gradually relaxed until their mind is receptive (there is an excellent ebook on hypnosis here) and the suggestions given to them.

However, it is clear that this is not always possible, and if you have watched the performance of any mentalist who has used hypnotic persuasion then you will be able to see that this is not what happens.

Instead a different hypnotic approach is used by the mentalist based on the work of the most famous hypnotist of all time - Dr Milton Erickson - who among other things developed the almost legendary instant handshake induction.

Erickson theorised that hypnosis is not a magical or mysterious force at all, but that people naturally slip into a hypnotic state several times a day. All that Erickson did was to find a way to help people to slip into a hypnotic state whenever he pleased!

Some of Ericksons most impressive work is in the area of conversational hypnosis, where a person can be hypnotised just by subtley using specific language and tone of voice, and if you can master this skill then you can imagine the power that you can exert over other people.

Understandably the methods of conversational hypnosis are not easy to find, but if you follow the link to our conversational hypnosis page, then you will find not only the most comprehensive course on the subject, but also the only course that will enable you to master this incredible skill for yourself.

We highly, highly recommend this course to all of our readers, it is without doubt the most incredible hypnosis course that you will find anywhere.

Besides the course above there are only 2 others that we would recommend, which are “the truth about hypnosis,” and “covert hypnosis.”

Both of these courses have specific pieces of information that you will not find anywhere else, especially not in the mainstream hypnosis literature, and so in our opinion they are worth having because the different techniques and knowledge enable you to have great flexibility and to tailor your approach no matter what situation may arise.

Hypnosis is quite an individual thing, what may work with one person may not work with another, and so it is always good to have a range of different weapons in your arsenal.

We will be posting more about hypnosis including some specific methods that are not widely known in the near future - why not sign up to our newsletter to avoid missing them.
