Hypnosis: Psychological tricks in life

Chapter 9 Learning Hypnotism Easily (9)
The specific operation of the superficial temporal artery compression method is as follows: first, let the hypnotized person sit on a chair in a comfortable position, and the hypnotist stands in front of the hypnotized person.Then, the hypnotist puts his hand on the temple of the hypnotized person and presses the superficial temporal artery of the hypnotized person.While pressing, the hypnotist repeated the suggestion to close the eyes of the hypnotized person: "Please look into my eyes with all your attention...watch with all your attention...don't take your eyes off...just concentrate on it all the time... looking at my eyes...your eyes are getting tired...slowly your eyes are feeling very heavy...slowly your eyes are feeling very heavy...your eyes are open Can't open, can't open, close..." After the hypnotized person closes his eyes, the hypnotist will give the hint of "head falling forward", so that the hypnotized state of the hypnotized person remains stable.In this way, the superficial temporal artery compression method is completely successful, and then the hypnotist can use the deepening method to deepen the hypnotic state.

The method when the hypnotized person is not very cooperative - the confusion induction method.

The confusion induction method is suitable for those hypnotized persons with relatively strong resistance.The so-called relatively strong impedance means that the hypnotized person is not willing to cooperate, or it is difficult for the hypnotized person to enter the hypnotic state with conventional hypnotic induction methods.The confusion induction method usually requires the hypnotized person to focus on several things at the same time, which will make the brain more likely to fatigue, and also prevent the hypnotized person from thinking wildly, so it can produce a good hypnotic effect.

For example, the gaze method requires the hypnotized person to stare at an object until they relax, and close their eyes naturally, but for those with low hypnotic sensitivity, it is often difficult for them to concentrate, then you can add Another one or several tasks, such as counting from 200 by 2 each time, while staring, counting, and following the hints of the hypnotist, so that the hypnotized person will often be overwhelmed and fatigued. into a hypnotic state.The most commonly used methods of confusion induction are the left and right simultaneous induction method, the shock induction method and the candlelight method.

The left and right simultaneous induction method can ask two hypnotists to induce on the left and right sides of the hypnotized person respectively, and the induction language can be the same.The effect of the left and right simultaneous induction method is very good. Once two hypnotists perform the same induction method on the left and right sides of the hypnotized person at the same time, it can quickly bring the hypnotized person a feeling of trance and confusion, and guide the hypnotized person. Go into a hypnotic state.The left and right simultaneous induction method can also only invite one hypnotist. The hypnotist can constantly change to the left and right positions of the hypnotized person during the induction process, and can even try to induce with different tones, voices, and intonations.

The hypnotist can also suddenly give some hints that are unexpected by the hypnotized person, so that the hypnotized person will have a feeling of confusion in an instant. This is the surprise and confusion induction method.For example, the hypnotist puts his finger 100 cm away from the subject's eyes and lets him stare for a while, and then the hypnotist suddenly stretches his hand to his eyes, and he will close his eyes in surprise.After that, the hypnotist can gently press the eyes of the hypnotized person, and hint: "Close your eyes tightly, you can't open them anyway." His eyelids twitched, and he had already entered a hypnotic state.

The candlelight method requires the hypnotized person to enter a hypnotic state in the process of imagining while staring at the candlelight according to the hypnotist's suggestion.The key to the candlelight method lies in the hypnotist's grasp of the suggestive words imagined by the hypnotized person.details as follows:
"Please stare at the candlelight, relax and listen to my voice naturally, what I say will float gently from your mind and leave gently...you don't need to deliberately focus on what I say If so, because your subconscious mind will follow me, your subconscious mind will know how to make a choice that is beneficial to yourself... Now, please keep your gaze, stare at the candlelight in a relaxed and natural way, and imagine a moment in your heart. A beautiful, pleasant feeling... This beautiful, pleasant feeling spreads from the bottom of your heart, diffuses, spreads throughout your body, and reaches your head... As you can imagine, it is a clear, pleasant and comfortable feeling The current of water flows from the bottom of your heart, spreads, spreads... This clear, pleasant and comfortable water flows to your whole body... This pleasant current flows to your head, flows to every part of your body while your eyes are still gazing at the candle light naturally, with such a wonderful feeling... Now, I'm going to tell you a story about a girl who loved those stuffed animals and she I want to pass by a plush toy store. I really want to be the owner of this toy store. I can play with these plush toys every day. The girl finally has a sum of money to open a small plush toy store. Looking at the charming stuffed animal, she had a sweet smile... well, you can relax and close your eyes naturally, and you will make your eyes feel more comfortable... if you are ready to talk to your subconscious now If you have communicated, then you can nod your head gently, and with each nod of your head, you will enter a deep, relaxed, and comfortable hypnotic state..."

Left and right simultaneous induction method, panic induction method and candlelight method, these three confusion induction methods all require the hypnotized person to focus on two or more things, or to focus on two or more tasks, so that it is easier to produce Fatigue, produces a good hypnotic effect, and improves the success rate of entering a hypnotic state.

Introduce the hypnotic state directly from the test - the direct induction method.

Everyone knows that before hypnosis, the hypnotized person generally has to go through the hypnotic suggestibility or sensitivity test, and if the hypnotized person can pass the suggestibility or sensitivity test items, then hypnosis The teacher can completely make the hypnotized person enter the hypnotic state directly. This induction method is called the direct induction method.There are three types of direct induction: heavy eyelids, stiff arms and lifting arms.

Entering the hypnotic state from heavy eyelid test, the operation is relatively simple and the time is relatively short.First, the hypnotist asks the hypnotist to hold a coin between the thumb and index finger of one hand, and to concentrate entirely on the fingers.Then, the hypnotist suggests that the coin becomes heavier and heavier, the eyelids become heavier and the body becomes more relaxed, and finally the coin falls down naturally.After the coin landed, the hypnotist suggested that the hypnotized person enter a more comfortable hypnotic state.

As for the arm stiffness test, before the arm stiffness test, the hypnotist asks the hypnotist to stretch his body thoroughly, take a deep breath, so that the body can relax, and then let the hypnotist sit on the chair in a comfortable way or lean on the couch with your hands in a position that feels comfortable to you.

Afterwards, the hypnotist pulls the subject's arm to an appropriate position, and then suggests that the subject's arm is fixed in mid-air, and the shoulders and elbows become a rigid iron rod as if locked by screws. The hypnotist shakes the subject's arm.

The hypnotist then suggested that the hypnotized person could not move the arm anyway, and the arm was always stiff, and asked the hypnotized person to try to move the arm by himself.Finally, the hypnotist is suggested to stop trying and relax his wrists, elbows, and shoulders. The hypnotist grabs the hypnotist's hand and gently puts his arm down.Then the hypnotist suggests that the hypnotized person relaxes and enters a deeper hypnotic state.

Before doing the arm rise test, the hypnotist will ask the hypnotist to stretch his body first, take a deep breath, and let the body relax.Then, the hypnotist suggested: "Please stretch your arms forward, with the palm of your left hand facing up and the palm of your right hand facing down. Please close your eyes naturally and easily... Once your eyes are closed, you Then your whole body relaxes...imagine your eyes fixed on the tip of your nose, and focus all your attention on the tip of your nose...imagine holding a large plate of fruit in your left hand, including apples, bananas, cherries, and your left hand Feel it getting heavier and heavier...the plate of fruit is very heavy and your left hand is getting heavier and heavier...your left hand is slowly going down...and at the same time, imagine a A string of colorful balloons, this string of colorful balloons is gradually floating upwards, pulling your right hand up slowly, slowly up... Your right hand becomes lighter and lighter, higher and higher... …As far as possible, imagine this picture in your mind, there is a string of colorful balloons tied to the palm of your right hand, and this string of colorful balloons is gradually floating upwards, slowly pulling your right hand upwards, Slowly pull up; while your left hand is holding a heavy plate of fruit, your left hand feels more and more heavy, and is slowly falling... Well, continue to take deep breaths and relax, as you Every time you inhale, you will feel that the string of colorful balloons on your right hand doubles in size, and your right hand becomes lighter and lighter, floating more and more up... With every exhalation , you will feel that the plate of fruit on your left hand is twice as heavy, and your left hand is getting lower and lower... Your left hand is getting heavier and lower; and your right hand is getting lower and lower. Light, drifting upwards...the left hand is gradually descending, and the right hand is gradually rising...the left hand is gradually descending, and the right hand is gradually rising..."

After a period of time, there will be an obvious gap between the hands of the hypnotized person, and the hypnotist can guide the hypnotized person into a hypnotic state.The hypnotist can fix the arms of the hypnotized person at such a height, keep breathing deeply, gradually forget the sensation of the body, and keep breathing deeply naturally and relaxedly.The operation of the direct induction method is actually very simple, and the operation time is relatively short, so it is widely used.In the specific practice of hypnosis, the hypnotist needs to choose the appropriate method according to the characteristics of the hypnotized person.

Action-based hypnotic induction-hands opening and closing lifting induction method.

The arm opening and closing induction method is an induction method with movement as the main body. This method is suitable for environments with noise, but special attention should be paid to the timing of verbal hints and movements during the specific operation.

Before hypnosis, the hypnotist asks the hypnotist to take a comfortable position, sit on a comfortable chair, and then let the hypnotist adjust his breathing, relax his body, put his hands on his knees naturally, pay attention Don't lean your back against the back of the chair, but it must be comfortable for the whole body.

The hypnotist stands in front of the hypnotized person, raises the hypnotized person's hands, and then suggests: "Take a deep breath and relax your whole body... Take a deep breath... Relax your whole body...OK, open your eyes , look at your hand." Then, the hypnotist took the palm of the hypnotized person, and then hinted: "As soon as my hand leaves, your hand will separate naturally like this", at this time, the hypnotist will take the hypnotized person's Hands open.

The hypnotist then suggested: "Relax... separate... relax... separate..." At this time, the hypnotist opened and closed the hands of the hypnotized person twice, and kept the hands of the hypnotized person relaxed when opening and closing. .The hypnotist gently lifts the subject's hands up from below, and fixes the subject's hands in that position with his own hands.Then continue to suggest: "As soon as my hand leaves, your hand will open." At this time, the hypnotized person's hand will leave quickly.If the hypnotized person's hand is relaxed, then as soon as the hypnotist's hand leaves, the hypnotized person's hand will drop slightly and open naturally.

When the hypnotized person's hand is opened, the hypnotist suggests: "Okay, open it, hit it a little more, slowly and naturally open it...continue to open it like this, open it..." Wait for the hypnotized person's hands When it is shoulder-width apart, the hypnotist suggests: "Okay, stop...below, when my hand touches your arm, your hands will be raised slowly..." At this time, The hypnotist gently touches the hands of the hypnotized with both hands, and then leaves quickly, and the hands of the hypnotized will start to rise slowly.Then, the hypnotist suggested: "Slowly and relaxedly lift up, keep lifting up slowly like this...continue, slowly lift up, relax and lift up...well, your hands are gradually approaching you your face...slowly and loosely lift it up...as soon as your hands reach your face, you will feel tired, very tired...and your eyelids will be tired, very tired, and droop Okay, your eyelids are very tired, it is very tired, it is already drooping, you are going to close your eyes now... you are very tired, your eyelids are very tired, slowly, you are closing your eyes... If the hypnotized person does not close his eyes at this time, the hypnotist will continue to suggest: "Your eyes are very tired and your eyelids have drooped. Please close your eyes slowly and naturally... slowly and naturally. , close your eyes relaxedly... Please close your eyes slowly..."

When the hypnotized person closes his eyes completely, the hypnotist suggests: "Now I will count, and when I count to 5, your hands will be separated... 1, you are very relaxed now... 2, you are very relaxed now , don’t think about anything, don’t think about anything... 3, you are very relaxed and comfortable now, don’t think about anything... 4, don’t think about anything, only the relaxed, natural, wonderful feeling of the whole body... 5, good , your hands are separated, your hands are already very relaxed...your hands start to fall slowly, naturally and relaxedly...your hands naturally and relaxedly fall, and land on your lap , as soon as your hands land on your knees, your whole body is completely relaxed, and your head becomes heavy, let the head go down... let your head go on naturally, relaxed Well... In this way, you will enter a deep and comfortable hypnotic state..."

At this time, the hypnosis induction is successful, and you can enter the hypnosis deepening link.This method is mainly based on movements, with the opening and closing and lifting of the hands as the main movements. It has the advantage of quick induction, but the timing of verbal hints and movements must be grasped well.

There is no failure in hypnotic induction - the method of progressive relaxation induction.

In hypnosis induction, there is no failure at all. The trick is to persist, patiently and gradually induce the hypnotized person to relax until they enter the hypnotic state.

So many methods of hypnosis induction have been introduced above, all of which contain some operational skills, but in the practice of hypnosis, how to apply it flexibly is the most important.If you encounter a hypnotized person who is difficult to be hypnotized, the hypnotist must show his patience and persistence to induce, and use strong perseverance to gradually guide the hypnotized person to relax and enter the hypnotized state naturally-this is It's the progressive relaxation method.
