How to Hypnotize People Easily

Hypnosis has long been used to treat illnesses and help people overcome addictions and other challenges. It is also offered as entertainment. There are two types: permissible hypnosis and covert hypnosis. When someone knowingly enters into a hypnotic state or trance, this is known as permissible hypnosis. When a person is tricked into being hypnotized, this is known as covert hypnosis. Hypnotizing someone can be done in a number of ways, depending on the person and the situation.

Instructions

Handshake Induction Hypnosis

• 1

  Approach a person to shake hands. As you grab his hand, pull back your fingers slowly and caress his palm.

• 2

  Ask an innocuous question or make a statement. This, combined with the touch, should confuse him, throwing him a bit off-guard.

• 3

  Glide your fingers down and grab hold of his wrist. Massage his palm gently with the same hand.

• 4

  State a suggestion or command. Once the person seems to agree with it--or answers positively to your suggestion--release his wrist.

Progressive Relaxation Technique

• 5

  Ask your subject to sit or lie down in a comfortable and relaxed position.

• 6

  Speak in a soothing, soft voice. Tell her to take a deep breath and as she lets it out, instruct her to allow her eyes to close.

• 7

  Tell her to get in touch with specific body parts. As you name a body part, tell her to relax it, allowing it to completely melt. Go through all the major body parts. She will be so relaxed afterward, she'll be in a hypnotic state. This process usually takes 10 to 15 minutes.

  Ask or direct her to do whatever you like, or help her get what she requested.
