What is the easiest way to hypnotize someone?

  • Direct conscious attention
  • Bypass the critical factor
  • Install acceptable suggestion
  • The best way to start is to get verbal agreement from the subject to go into hypnosis.
  • This is known as the hypnotic contract and can be presented as three questions:
  • Would you like to be hypnotized?
  • Would you like to be hypnotized by me?
  • Would you like to be hypnotized now?
  • Ideally you would get a response known as a “yes set” which would mean you can directly give the command:
  • Ok close your eyes and go into hypnosis.
  • Other acceptable suggestions include:
  • Ok close your eyes and focus on my voice
  • Ok close your eyes and follow my instructions
  • Ok close your eyes and relax
  • The flashy way to do this would be to say :
  • Ok sleep
  • If you snap your fingers with a good sleep command you would be practicing a very cool looking instant induction.
  • Hypnosis is compliance. So long as the subject is following suggestions you can assume they are hypnotized.
  • At this stage I would install a barrage of amazing wonderful positive suggestions and have them emerge feeling good.
  • Emerging can be as simple as giving the command:
  • Eyes open feeling good
