Chapter 10 Learning Hypnotism Easily (10)
The progressive relaxation induction method is as follows:

The hypnotist first asks the hypnotized person to take a deep breath, relax the body, and then choose a comfortable position to sit on a chair or lean on the sofa.Then, the hypnotist suggests: "Now, let your eyes close naturally and easily. As soon as your eyes close, you begin to relax...Now, imagine your eyes staring at the tip of your nose, and put Focus all your attention on the tip of your nose... OK, now take a deep breath, slow and long breaths, deep and regular breaths, take the air in slowly and deeply, then slowly and deeply Exhale the air deeply... As you inhale, imagine that you are breathing in the oxygen in the air. The oxygen flows through your nose, throat, and then into the lungs, and then penetrates into your blood. These wonderful oxygen After blood circulation, it is transported to every part and every cell of your body, making your body full of fresh vitality; when exhaling, imagine that you spit out all the carbon dioxide in your body, and also release all the tension and pressure , Anxiety, worry, fatigue, doubt, all spit out, so that all the uncomfortable and unpleasant feelings will go away from you... Well, continue to take a deep breath, every deep breath will let you enter a deeper, more comfortable feeling. Relaxed, more natural, more comfortable state... You take a deep breath while listening to my guidance, it is very natural, very relaxed, very comfortable, you don’t have to think about anything, and you don’t have to think about anything, you just follow My guide will soon enter a very relaxed and comfortable state...

"You are very relaxed now, very comfortable, your scalp is relaxed...the cranium is relaxed...your ears are relaxed, the muscles around the ears are relaxed...your eyebrows are relaxed, the muscles around the eyebrows are relaxed... Your cheeks are relaxed, the muscles around the cheeks are relaxed... Your jaw is relaxed, the muscles of the jaw are relaxed... Your jaw has been completely released from the pressure of eating, chewing, and talking...

Next, the hypnotist can suggest that the hypnotized person relax the neck, throat, shoulders, hands, chest, back, abdomen, and legs.

"Continue to breathe deeply. With each breath, you will feel more relaxed, more natural, more comfortable..."

In the gradual relaxation induction method, some hypnotized subjects who are usually too nervous may find it difficult to relax their bodies through imagination, and some hypnotized subjects will feel pain in limbs and dizziness after relaxing. They are usually over-excited and don't pay attention to the sensations of their own bodies, so all kinds of physical problems will naturally appear when they relax.If you encounter the above two situations, the hypnotist can tell the hypnotist: "This is a signal from your body to yourself. You usually don't have time to pay attention to the feeling of your body, and you don't have time to listen to the sound of your body. Now, They are sending a signal to you for help..." For these hypnotists, the hypnotist must have enough patience.

In the progressive relaxation induction method, some softer background music can also be selected as an induction to relax the mind, and then emotional music can be used to induce the hypnotized person to enter a different hypnotic state.With the right music, very good results can be achieved.

[-]. Things to do after entering hypnosis - deepening and awakening of hypnosis
After the hypnotized person enters the hypnotic state, the process of letting the hypnotized person enter a deeper hypnotic state is called hypnosis deepening.The method of hypnotic deepening is very flexible, and it can even be said to be adaptable, and the use of technology largely depends on the imagination and creativity of the hypnotist.After the hypnosis is over, to wake up the hypnotized person from the hypnotic state also requires a certain method of awakening, and this method is hypnotic awakening.

Repeated induction can deepen hypnosis.

Hypnosis deepening is the method used to deepen the hypnotic state.However, if one thinks that the hypnotic induction method is only used to induce hypnosis, and then the deepening method will play a role, then it is narrow-minded.Hypnosis deepening itself is the continuation of hypnosis induction. If the hypnotized subject is repeatedly induced, it will also have the effect of deepening hypnosis. This is the repeated induction method commonly used by hypnotists to deepen hypnosis.

In fact, the repeated induction method is a technique in which sobriety and hypnosis are repeatedly intersected and repeated, and the hypnosis is led to in-depth induction.The so-called "waking up" does not refer to complete sobriety, but refers to the moment when the hypnotized person is awakened but still stays in the online hypnotic state. Introduce the hypnotized person into a deep-layer hypnotic state again.It can be expressed in this formula: "Hypnosis—waking up—hypnotizing again—waking up again—hypnotizing again..." Therefore, it is very important to grasp the timing of this "waking up" and repeat it.The hypnotist must guide the hypnotized person into a hypnotic state again before the person is fully awakened, which is the key point.

The specific operation of the repeated induction method is as follows:

The hypnotist hints to the hypnotized subject in hypnosis: "When I clap my hands three times, you will wake up." After finishing speaking, the hypnotist will clap his hands three times. , Immediately suggest: "Now, please look at my fingertips with your eyes for a while... Yes, naturally, relax and look at my fingertips for a while... Now, your eyelids start to feel heavy again It's getting heavy again...you will enter a deeper hypnotic state than before..." Seeing that the eyelids of the hypnotized person drooped, the hypnotist hinted: "Yes, your eyelids are too heavy to open. Open it, can’t open it, you have entered a deeper hypnotic state now... Close your eyes quietly, you are more relaxed and comfortable than before..." When the hypnotized person completely closes his eyes Immediately afterwards, the hypnotist hinted again: "When I wave my hand three times, you will wake up..." Then, the hypnotist clapped his hand three times, repeating the hypnosis process just now.

Repeatedly and crossover several times in this way, through repeated induction, the hypnotized person can be brought into a deep hypnotic state.

Common methods of hypnosis deepening - deep breathing and counting.

Deep breathing is a very effective method in all stages of hypnosis, and it can be called the veritable "panacea" in hypnosis.In the preparatory stage of hypnosis, the deep breathing method can help the hypnotized person to relax and enter the induced state smoothly. Some hypnotists can even induce hypnosis and deepen hypnosis by using only deep breathing.

Then, in the state of hypnosis, how can the hypnotized person take a deep breath to induce him to enter a deeper hypnotic state?details as follows:
The hypnotist suggested: "Now, you feel very comfortable and relaxed... Please start to take a deep breath... Every deep breath will relax the power of your whole body, allowing you to easily enter a deep hypnotic state...Okay, now take a deep breath Slowly, take a deep breath, then breathe out slowly and relaxedly, after exhaling the air in your chest, take a deep breath, and then breathe out slowly and relaxedly...Okay, keep doing it, every time Take a deep breath, inhale deeply and loosely, exhale slowly and relaxedly...you will feel your body relax more...Okay, go ahead, take each deep breath, deeply and relaxedly Inhale, exhale slowly and relaxed...inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, the power has been relaxed, completely relaxed...you have entered a deeper hypnotic state..."

When using the deep breathing method to deepen hypnosis, it should be noted that the hypnotist must coordinate with the breathing of the hypnotized person, easily guide the hypnotized person, and make the hypnotized person take deep breaths without hesitation.If the deep breathing of the hypnotized person is not natural, then the progress of hypnotic deepening must not be smooth.

Hypnosis deepening can use simple counting method.While counting, the hypnotist suggests that the hypnotized person will be in a deeper hypnotic state as each number is counted out.

Slowly counting numbers is a deepening method that requires concentration. Therefore, the hypnotist must pay attention to using a calm and gentle tone, and counting with the natural and relaxed breathing of the hypnotized person. This is a smooth process. Conditions for deepening hypnosis.

The hypnotist suggested: "When I count to twenty (or twenty to thirty, thirty to fifty), you will be induced to enter a deeper hypnotic state... Listen to my voice, you will gradually be fascinated. Induced into a deeper hypnotic state...1...2...3...4...5, you start to doze off and become more relaxed...6...7...8...9...10 , you have become more relaxed...continue to relax naturally...in this way, you have entered a deeper and more comfortable hypnotic state..." Deepen with this calm, slow, gentle tone, so that the hypnotized person All the attention was focused on the voice of the hypnotist.

Counting the numbers can be done by the hypnotist or by the hypnotized person. If the hypnotized person counts by himself, the same operation as above is performed.In addition, the method of counting, in addition to counting from "1" in sequence, can also use the method of counting down, but the difficulty is increased.

To deepen a shallow hypnotic state - body shaking method.

The body shaking method is a deepening method with "movement suggestion" as the main body.The body shaking method is relatively simple to operate, so it is widely used.

Before starting the body shaking method, one thing needs to be paid attention to. The hypnotist must understand the extent to which the hypnotized person has entered the hypnotic state after hypnotic induction, and must choose a deepening method suitable for this stage.Because body shaking is primarily used to bring a hypnotized subject from a light to a deep state of hypnosis, body shaking can be used either alone or as a precursor to other hypnotic deepening methods.

The specific operation of the body shaking method is as follows:
When the hypnotized person enters the hypnotic state through hypnotic induction, the hypnotist makes him sit on a chair with his head drooping and his upper body leaning forward as much as possible, which is conducive to the shaking of the hypnotized person's body.The hypnotist puts both hands on the subject's shoulders, shakes it slightly, and hints: "When I start to shake your body, the strength of your body will relax, and you will enter a deeper hypnotic state...Okay, I Now shaking your body, you have to let go of the power in your body...Okay, let go of the power in your body, relax, and enter deep hypnosis...your body starts to shake vigorously from side to side..."Hypnosis While the teacher hints, he constantly shakes the body of the hypnotized person, and the hypnotized person will shake involuntarily.At this time, the hypnotist let go of his hand, and then suggested: "Even if I let go, you will continue to shake... yes, your body is shaking greatly there... yes, shaking even more... When shaking, you can relax the strength of your whole body, feel very relaxed, very comfortable, and feel very happy... Now, your body shakes even more..." When the hypnotized person continued to give these hints, the shaking of the body of the hypnotized person The range will gradually expand.

The most important thing in this process is that the hypnotist must wait until the body of the hypnotized person shakes automatically before letting go. If the hand is released too early, the person under hypnotism will not be able to shake the body smoothly. If the hypnotized person stops shaking the body as soon as the hand is released, then the hypnotized person's body must be shaken again.

When the swing range of the hypnotized person has been increasing, it should be suggested: "When I count to three, your body will shake forward and backward... 1... 2... 3... Now, your body is already Shaked back and forth..." The body of the hypnotized person will shake back and forth. At this time, the hypnotist should put his hand on the shoulder of the hypnotized person, and then suggest: "Now, while your body is shaking, your head Gradually being pulled back...yes, your head is being pulled back again." At this time, the hypnotist should lightly press the back of the other person's shoulders, and then hint: "Your head has been pulled back... ...Yes, pull back all the time, and your body also pulls back..." The hypnotist gave such hints, and let the hypnotized person's body lean back.

The hypnotist then suggests: "Your body is pulled back..." Since the subject is sitting on a chair, his head will become unstable.The hypnotist then suggested: "Even if your head is pulled back, I can catch it with my hands..." These words can calm the mind of the hypnotized person.Then, the hypnotist suggested: "The strength of your body is more relaxed... Now, your head is drooping, and after you droop, you will feel more relaxed... Now, your head is drooping... After drooping, you will feel, start Dozed off. After sagging, you feel more relaxed and comfortable...you feel more relaxed and comfortable..." In this way, the hypnotized person can enter a deeper hypnotic state.

Enter deep hypnosis in beautiful imagination - imagery method.

The imagery method is the combination of the hypnotized subject's subjective "meaning" - thinking, and the objective "image" - natural scenes, so that the hypnotized person becomes the protagonist of the imagination, thus making the hypnotized person enter a deep hypnotic state.The imagination depicted in imagery can be any natural scene.The most frequently used imagery situations are stairs, seaside and deep valley garden.

1. Ladder method.

The hypnotist hints: "Imagine that you are standing at the top of the white stairs... in front of your eyes, you see a red archway with steps extending down... yes, you can see the white stairs... look When you reach the white staircase, please raise your right hand to signal me...Okay, now, go down this white staircase slowly, step by step...Yes, step by step, slowly Go on... yes, one step after another, very relaxed, very comfortable... Gradually, you will be able to enter a deep hypnotic state... yes, one step after another, you finally reached the final tenth Steps... Yes, go all the way down, to the last step... Gradually, you have entered a deep hypnotic state... You have entered a deeper and more comfortable hypnotic state..."

Just like this, using visual imagination, using colors such as red or white that can make the hypnotized person imagine more clearly, or clearly hinting at an end point when counting the stairs, can produce a very good hypnotic effect .

2. Deep valley garden ladder method.

Some hypnotists like to use the deep valley garden ladder method. This method requires the hypnotized person to imagine that they are in a very beautiful garden. Singing softly, the soil under your feet - as soft as a blanket when you step on it...

After this beautiful scene has been arranged, the hypnotized subject is instructed to walk through the garden until he reaches a staircase leading to the deep valley garden below.At this time, the hypnotist hints to the hypnotized person that when he walks down the steps step by step, his hypnotic state will gradually deepen.On reaching the bottom, the hypnotized person is usually asked to walk a few more steps to a clear and calm pool of water.The main purpose of arranging this pool is that the hypnotists can see anything the hypnotist suggests from the pool, or see those things that are particularly important to them, and ask them to describe what they see to the hypnotist. .
