I am sure that you've seen movies and Television shows where a crazed super-evil villain tries to hypnotize the protagonist by swinging a pocket watch back and forth. If you've seen that, then you've probably also seen him attempting to hypnotize a whole city with a broadcast of a spiral. The truth is that these depictions of hypnosis are false, primarily due to the fact that people need to be willing to be hypnotized or it will not work. If you really want to know how to hypnotize people, you need to know what is real and what is not.
Before you get yourself attempting to hypnotize your friends and family, you have to know that hypnotism is nothing more than a deep state of relaxation. All of us experience hypnosis during the day without even knowing. Those times when you get yourself very distracted and with your mind blank you are probably going through a hypnotic trance. The only difference now is that we are going to consciously cause that trance and suggest ideas into our mind.
Here are a couple of easy steps that will help you hypnotize people within a matter of minutes:
Step 1: Pick a Comforting Environment
Have you ever tried to sleep with all the lights turned on and your TV's as loud as they can possibly be? If so, you know that when you are in an uncomfortable place you cannot get relaxed. To make it possible for you to hypnotize someone you first need to have a comfy place where they can relax.
Step 2: Initiate Relaxation Techniques
To get the person you are trying to hypnotize to relax, tell him/her to close the eyes and start relaxing the muscles from head to toe one by one. Tell the individual to gently relax the muscles of the face, then the neck, shoulders, arms, etc, until you he/she has relaxed all her/his muscles.
Step 3: Get Them into the Trance
Now that they're getting more and more relaxed you need to put them on the hypnotic trance. To do this tell the person you're working with to imagine that he/she is in a beautiful field that goes all the way to the horizon. Tell him/her to imagine the clouds slowly passing by his/her head.
Step 4: Make Your Suggestions
Now it's time for you to work your magic. Suggest him/her to feel more confident when speaking in front of a large audience, or to feel more motivated in his/her work. The sky is the limit here, but to make your job easier you can, and you must, ask the subject for areas of his/her life that he/she is not completely satisfied with, then make suggestions based on his/her goals.
Grab a piece of paper and write down these simple steps, the following step is to either try it out on yourself, doing what it is commonly called self hypnotism, or you can test it out in someone who trusts you. It can be a friend, a brother, etc, so long as there's a strong bond between you. This is very important since you lack the experience and confidence to hypnotize a stranger, a person that doesn't know you or trusts you. Just get out there and pretend it until you make it.
