The ceiling gazing method is as follows:

Let the hypnotized person stretch his body, take a deep breath, let the body relax, and then sit in a chair in a comfortable posture, or lean on the sofa, and put his hands in a relaxed and comfortable posture.Then let the hypnotized person choose any point on the ceiling in a relaxed way and focus completely on that point.Then the hypnotist began to induce: "Now, your body is very relaxed and comfortable, and all your attention is on that point... When you look at that point, you will feel yourself getting tired, your The whole body will become very tired... as I will count from 1 to 20, you will slowly close your eyes and enter a deep and relaxed state...

The wall gazing method is suitable for those hypnotized who have a lot of thoughts and thoughts and have difficulty concentrating.The key to wall gazing is to relax while gazing while maintaining tension and relaxation at the same time.

The wall gazing method is as follows:
Let the hypnotized person stretch his body, take a deep breath, let the body relax, and then sit in a chair in a comfortable posture, or lean on the sofa, and put his hands in a relaxed and comfortable posture.Then the hypnotist began to induce: "Please sit naturally and relax your body...Keep taking a deep breath, every breath will make you enter a more relaxed and comfortable state...Take a deep breath...Relax...Now please Look at the wall in front of you, fix your gaze on that very central point, fix on that point, gaze very intently, relax... very intently, relax...while you gaze at that point , you will feel that your body will become more and more relaxed, more and more comfortable, the whole person will become more and more quiet, with fewer and fewer thoughts, and more and more quiet...

There are many forms of gazing, but the principle is the same. The key is that the hypnotist guides the hypnotized person to concentrate and concentrate on gazing at objects, so that the hypnotized person feels tired eyes and enters a relaxed hypnotic state.

The simplest hypnotic induction - deep breathing method.

Everyone knows that taking deep breaths when you are mentally tense and stressed can relieve your tension and release your psychological pressure.Then, in order to make the hypnotized person enter a hypnotic state, a very important condition is to eliminate tension. Therefore, deep breathing is a very good way to induce hypnosis.

The principle of the deep breathing method is to focus the hypnotized person through deep breathing, and better listen to the hypnotist's induction and hints.The method of deep breathing induction is as follows:

When inducing deep breathing hypnosis, it is necessary to put the hypnotized person in a very comfortable and quiet environment first, and sit on a chair or lean on the sofa in a posture that he feels very comfortable.Then the hypnotist suggested: "Now, you are sitting here, feeling very comfortable and relaxed... Please relax your whole body, close your eyes slightly, and breathe slowly... Take a deep breath first, then slowly Exhale slowly, after exhaling the air in your chest, take a deep breath, and then exhale slowly...Okay, keep doing it yourself, every time you take a deep breath, inhale deeply, and exhale slowly... …you will feel your body more relaxed and hypnotized.”

This deep breathing induction method requires the hypnotized person to be able to take a deep breath easily and naturally. If they take a deep breath too hard, inhale or exhale vigorously, they will feel uncomfortable.If this happens, the hypnotist should immediately instruct the hypnotized person to breathe naturally and gently, not too hard, but to be natural and relaxed.And it should be noted that the time for deep breathing should not be too long, otherwise the hypnotized person will feel fatigued. Generally speaking, it is enough to do it about 10 times.Then, the hypnotist continued to suggest to the hypnotized person: "You relax your whole body, your whole body relaxes...you want to sleep very much, your body is very heavy, very heavy...you want to sleep very much, your body is very heavy, very heavy... You're going to fall asleep soon. Go to sleep..."

At this time, the hypnotized person can easily enter the hypnotic state.The hypnotized person seems to hear the sound coming from a very far away place, from one ear to the brain, flowing with his blood in his body, and then from the other side The ear leaves the body and floats away.In this natural, quiet, and comfortable atmosphere and feeling, the hypnotized person loses all resistance unconsciously, and his whole body and mind are immersed in an incredible and wonderful reverberation.

In the induction of deep breathing, it should be noted that the breathing speed of the hypnotized person cannot be fast or slow, and it should be distinguished according to different situations.For example, when the hypnotist obviously has strong resistance to the hypnotist's suggestion, he should not take a deep breath too quickly.

Traditionally commonly used four hypnotic induction methods.

In addition to the oldest and most common gaze method, traditional hypnosis induction methods include: sensory induction method, natural induction method, good memory induction method, and learning retrospective induction method, all of which are more commonly used.These four methods need to be used correctly and appropriately to achieve the effect, and each method is not a panacea, you must know how to use it properly at the right time.

The sensory method is applied when the hypnotized person is confused and does not know where to start. In this situation, let the hypnotized person enter the hypnotic state from experiencing their own feelings, and the subconscious mind of the hypnotized person will naturally know the answer.

The sensory induction method is suitable for people with sensitive and delicate emotions and tactile people, and the hypnotized persons who suffer from long-term illness or serious mental illness are not suitable for the sensory induction method.If the hypnotized person has a lot of discomfort in his body, his senses will be expanded due to quietness and introspection, which will hinder the induction of hypnosis.

The key to the natural induction method is to guide all the reactions of the hypnotized person to occur naturally, without any resistance in the heart.This method is suitable for those who are hypnotized by people with relatively high resistance.

For many people, recalling those beautiful experiences is a natural hypnotic induction. The hypnotized person can clearly recall what happened at that time, experience their emotions at that time, and cooperate with the movements of arms and legs, so that it is very easy to enter the middle stage. hypnosis.This method is more suitable for people who are good at talking and have rich emotions, especially such elderly people.

In fact, not only recalling those good experiences, but also feelings and experiences of tension, fear, uneasiness, dread, anxiety, etc. can be used in our hypnotherapy.When the hypnotized person knows very clearly that he is affected by some things and makes himself nervous, afraid, uneasy, fearful, and anxious, he can directly recall what happened at that time.And once the hypnotist tells what happened at that time vividly under the guidance of the hypnotist, narrates the scene at that time seriously and with low investment, and personally experiences the tension, fear, anxiety, fear, anxiety, etc. at that time, the process itself is actually It is also the introduction of hypnosis, but this requires the hypnotist to be able to sharply clarify the emotions of the hypnotized person, and analyze it in detail for further treatment.

Everyone grows through continuous learning. Going back to the past learning experience is a very effective method of hypnosis induction. new change.

The learning retrospective induction method is as follows: "The previous learning experiences are always unforgettable for us, and even as the years grow, these memories will become clearer and clearer... Do you remember the first time you learned to ride a bicycle? Remember Did you do an experiment in chemistry class for the first time? Remember the first time you learned English words... So many first-time learning experiences. At that time, you must have had a little joy, a little Happy, a little curious and fresh... let's go back to the memory of learning something new for the first time... what kind of scene was that? What were you learning... what did you feel at the time? I find it very interesting, but I still find it difficult, and I am very worried... Draw such a scene clearly in your mind, you are learning those new knowledge, and such a scene is clearly presented in your mind..."

There is a very effective technique for learning the retrospective induction method, which is to guide the hypnotized person to go back to the growth process of infancy, come to this world, from seeing, hearing, smelling, touching to touching, exploring their own body, raising their necks, and learning to crawl , learn to walk, learn to step over the threshold... This method of going back to infancy is indeed quite effective, and it can almost lead anyone into a hypnotic state of varying degrees.

Four methods of compression induction to improve success.

Everyone's hypnosis sensitivity is different, some people are easy to be hypnotized, and some people are difficult to be hypnotized, so corresponding conservative techniques are needed for treatment, such as posterior occipital artery compression, carotid sinus compression, clavicle Inferior artery compression method, superficial temporal artery compression method.

1. Posterior occipital artery compression method.

The posterior occipital artery is located 2 to 5 centimeters behind the center of the ear. However, there are some subtle differences in the location of each person's blood vessels, so the hypnotist needs to look for it carefully.This method of compressing the artery is a conservative hypnotic induction.Generally speaking, about four out of ten people can enter the hypnotic state only through oppression and instructions.

The specific method of the posterior occipital artery compression method is as follows: first, let the hypnotized person sit on a chair with a backrest, the hypnotist stands on the left side of the hypnotized person, holds the forehead of the hypnotized person with his left hand, and presses the thumb and middle finger of the right hand. The posterior occipital artery of the hypnotized subject.When pressing, the hypnotist should pay attention to the strength of the fingers according to the age and condition of the hypnotized person.The hypnotist maintains this pressing position, and instructs the hypnotized person to "please count first", and then keeps silent until the hypnotized person cannot count, which means that the hypnotized person has entered a hypnotic state.

2. Carotid sinus compression method.

The carotid sinus refers to the veins on both sides of the throat.The principle of carotid sinus compression method is as follows: when the blood pressure of the hypnotized subject rises, the carotid sinus expands and the vagus nerve is stimulated, which will lower blood pressure.Deliberately giving a certain amount of pressure from the outside to oppress the carotid sinus will lower its blood pressure and achieve the purpose of changing the state of consciousness of the hypnotized subject.In the United States, hypnotists have used this method to successfully hypnotize thousands of people, and none of them failed. The success rate is the highest.

When performing carotid sinus compression, the hypnotist usually asks the subject to stand and look up at the ceiling.Then, the hypnotist gently presses the carotid sinus of the subject with his fingers.At this time, the vagus nerve just behind the carotid sinus is stimulated, blood pressure drops, and the state of consciousness of the hypnotized person changes.By pressing the carotid sinus, the blood pressure of the hypnotized person will be close to the level during sleep, and the thinking will be suppressed. At this time, the hypnotist will give hypnotic hints to the hypnotized person.It should be noted that this method will cause the blood pressure of the hypnotized person to drop rapidly, so if the hypnotist does not operate properly, the hypnotized person may faint.In particular, it should be noted that the carotid arteries on both sides of the hypnotized person must be lightly pressed. If the pressure is too strong, the hypnotized person will cause cerebral ischemia due to a sharp drop in blood pressure, and even coma.

3. Subclavian artery compression method.

Although some hypnotists have been induced to enter a hypnotic state, they still feel a little uneasy in their hearts, and it is difficult to enter a deep sleep from a light hypnotic state. This kind of situation often happens.Such hypnotists generally have such thoughts: "I always feel uneasy in my heart, and I know this is the reason that hinders me from entering a deep hypnotic state." Then, in this case, some auxiliary methods must be applied.For example: subclavian artery compression method.

The principle of the subclavian artery compression method is that the hypnotist focuses on the base of the neck of the hypnotized subject, and presses down firmly. A large blood vessel such as the subclavian artery passes under the shoulder.The purpose of the hypnotist pressing the base of the neck is to compress the subclavian artery of the hypnotized person, thereby reducing the blood supply to the brain of the hypnotized person and inhibiting the thinking of the hypnotized person.The specific operation of the subclavian artery compression method is as follows:
First, after inducing hypnosis as much as possible, the hypnotist gently presses the subject's shoulder—while giving some reassuring hints to the subject: "As soon as I press your shoulder, you will feel I am surrounded by a sense of security...I gently press your shoulders, your heart is full of security, and you can feel that time is passing slowly...Okay, gradually open your heart..." Here is to stimulate the body sensation of the hypnotized person, so the suggestion should be based on emotion.The disadvantage of this approach is that it can only be performed with the subject sitting in a chair.

4. Superficial temporal artery compression method.

The superficial temporal artery compression method uses physiological means to pressurize the place above the mandibular joint in front of the ear of the hypnotized person. By compressing the artery behind the corner of the eye, the amount of blood entering the brain is reduced, causing cerebral anemia under hypnosis. , thus making the suggestion easier to accept and hypnotic induction easier.Primarily intended for those who do not respond well to hypnotic suggestion.
