To practise write down some paragraphs in which you have embedded little phraselets like the ones above. Better still make up your own. The principles are obvious are they not?

What does state x feel like? Imagine you have a big juicy lemon in front of you. Look at it glistening and gleaming, a beautiful spanking yellow. It looks so juicy and moist. You slice it in half. The lemony juices roll out. The fruit sparkles in the sunlight: you take a big juicy bite!

And perhaps you salivated reading that?
Words alone can evoke powerful psychophysiological responses.
They can stir the emotions: think of Churchill’s rousing war speeches. ‘We shall fight them on the beeches…we shall never surrender!’ He had obviously studied the ancient art of rhetoric.

Describing trance and hypnosis can and will evoke it.
No formal induction is needed – you just sound like you’re having a normal conversation. Some examples of what you could do follow…

‘Have you ever been driving along a motorway/freeway and before you knew it you had completely zoned out and gone into a daydream? So you’d travelled 5 miles or so on autopilot. Because you know how to drive –
you’re unconscious
did it for you, leaving you free to
wander off mentally
. Funny isn’t it?’

‘What’s it like when you’re reading a book and it’s so interesting that you
become completely absorbed
in it? So you just completely
ignore your surroundings.
You just
become so fascinated
by the characters, the imaginary landscape, all the exciting events and you feel emotions intensely in that state, don’t you. You see when you’re reading in that absorbed way –
you’re in hypnosis…now.
And your sense of time passing too changes doesn’t it. Focusing on the words generates pictures in your mind, compelling pictures that captivate you for a while.’

‘Do you know that you can
go into trance
watching TV? As long as you are really into the program. It’s not like
going into hypnosis
where your attention is focused inside. It’s an external state of focus. You
become so absorbed
by the TV, the characters, maybe you find one really attractive and can’t take your eyes off them. You
become very relaxed and still
too. Maybe the photography or spectacle of the movie is so incredible that you
forget what’s going on around you for a while.
You ever
feel that?
Now,
I’m like that when I watch Star Wars. What films make you
enter that state?’

‘We’ve all had conversations in which
become totally absorbed,
haven’t we? Maybe someone is really funny or interesting or very attractive and
we listen to every word,
we
ignore everything else
…sometimes it’s what the person is talking about that can mesmerise someone, sometimes it’s a quality of their voice, a certain cadence, an attractive quality, maybe the resonance that can really allow you to
focus in
and
relax
while listening.’

I’m laying it on thick to illustrate a point. You can be more subtle if you wish.

You could describe playing golf and going into the zone, sex, anything in which you become very absorbed – it’s very easy to do. You just need to practise.
If you want someone to feel a state – say joy – describe it vividly – a time it happened to you…when you do this skilfully the listener will experience it too.
Don’t be afraid to be flowery, somewhat. Notice what I compare the feeling to – this is a metaphor, which is hypnotic.

‘I remember a time when I passed an audition to get into drama school I was so happy afterwards, I knew it was a moment that would change my life. I felt this lovely warm glow in my head, a kind of lightness, a soft tingle, it felt like a nice warm sun inside me…making me feel good.’

Over the top I know. By doing this you are also triggering associations to what you are saying in
their
past experience. This is one way humans bond.

‘Your muscles just
let go
don’t they, gradually all the tension eases away. You just
rest
maybe lying down or sitting. Sometimes you get a soft sweet feeling in your muscles too. You might
drift off into a daydream.
Before you know it your whole body can
feel very calm and deeply relaxed
…we’ve all experienced that.’

Interestingly when women see men they are attracted too they feel a set of feelings inside. Often these are tingles or butterflies. If you talk about something you evoke it. Then you can change it into a colour or symbol – intensify it or move it about. Odd isn’t it??

This is a nice alternative to the PMR or an addition to it.
It allows the person to use their own symbolism to relax the muscles.
You can also use it to elicit pleasurable feelings. Now why on earth would you do that!? Deep hypnosis is assumed but it would work in light trance too. Let’s also assume the feeling I am referring to is relaxation. It can be anything!
Remember symbols are very powerful; more powerful than you know. They affect the deepest instincts, templates and archetypes of the ‘unconscious mind.’

The Symbolic Deepener script.

(Hypnosis is assumed.)

‘Be aware of this feeling,

this relaxation you’re feeling. Now…

Imagine…

if it were to form your symbol of deep relaxation…

in your mind.

See it there…

Wherever there is?

Get to know that symbol,

Where is it?

How big is it?

Really know it.

Now, take your symbol

and let it have a colour…

if you haven’t already.

A colour that represents this amazing feeling…

Now,

when you’re ready…

just let that colourful symbol…

liquefy, dissolve into some part of you…

taking this feeling with it…

this deep, healing relaxation…

spreading

into

some part of your body…

Enjoy these wonderful feelings as they soak into

are absorbed by that place…

Very deeply so…

Now, move it somewhere else

it would do you good…

As you do,

these good feelings

and more…

only increase in intensity…

Feel them intensify!

That’s right…

so that pleasurable feeling

only increases.

Maybe it pulsates

or throbs nicely

or maybe it moves in waves

or twirls

or circulates…

or radiates

from that place…

outward

and inward…

I don’t know…

It’s your experience…

And again…

let your colourful symbol

liquefy, dissolve into

another part of your deserving body…

Just the right place…

You know where is best…

As it melts,

these good feelings can increase…

double,

triple,

quadruple…

if you like,

if
you’re unconscious
is willing…

Now take this lovely healing feeling…

and

allow it to

feel even more pleasant

as you notice it travel

somewhere else,

wherever you need it…

taking the feelings with it

into another part of you…

bathing your

mind-body system

with wonderful feelings…

And so,

the more intense

this blissful feeling does become

the more you enjoy it…

with each breath

the feeling only gets better,

healing you

in some mysterious way…

taking you

deeper and deeper into

deep hypnotic - SLEEP!

Let that colourful symbol

liquefy, dissolve into some other

part of your mind…

your body…

soothing,

healing,

refreshing

each and both of you, now…

Let that feeling

spread into every part of

that body right now…

I’ll be quiet for 30 seconds

And in that time

and you have all the time

you need in trance…

to do this…

that’s right…

Experiencing all

these wonderful feelings…

let them double,

triple in intensity,

quadruple in intensity…

until you have moved it down

along,

up,

throughout,

your increasingly peaceful mind and body…

Let that colourful symbol

liquefy

become absorbed

by all the parts of you…

that need,

deserve,

can have these wonderful feelings,

now…

That’s it…

Feel this process occurring in the pause/pores…

(Be quiet for 30 seconds as they do it.)

Now you have learned many things about the power of language and your improving ability to use it, have you not? You will have many more choices of how to construct your own hypnotic inductions now. But there is more!

In my next book I will teach you more hypnosis secrets, I promise I’ll give you many more options of how to hypnotise people and send them into pleasurable oblivion which will give you real flexibility and we’ll start to delve into what to do once someone is hypnotised! I will start to give you my own powerful techniques for doing hypnotherapy: the interventions, how to construct suggestions, what subconscious rejection is, the reasons why hypnotists have any clients at all…you see I have so much knowledge to share, about hypnosis and how the mind really works, what the placebo effect really is, maybe I’ll talk about the difference between men and women’s brains, perhaps about how carefully calculated manipulation is carried out by ‘influential groups’ in society using NLP, hypnotic principles, powerful psychological conditioning techniques and more against you and yours (oops I’ve said too much!), if you’re good…all done in the same fun, informal way of course.

I’ve just decided in book 3 I will teach you at least two bonus modules…

How to pass any personality test with flying colours.

How to do ‘psychic’ cold reading.

The first two books have already given you a very thorough understanding of hypnosis, by reading them you are ahead of the pack so if you’ve enjoyed the ride so far join me for more hypnotic whistleblowing in book 3 – ‘Powerful Hypnosis!’ Are you ready for level 3 my Padawan apprentice!???!

Wishing you every success…and you will succeed.

Don’t forget your ‘Unicorn Deepener’ bonus awaits at the end of the appendices!

‘Ok just close your eyes…

and just pay attention to your breathing…

in and out… (time this on the in and out breath – thereby ‘pacing’ the client’s reality.)

That’s right…

You don’t have to change your breathing at all…

Just notice it…

Draw all of your attention to your breathing…

as you
relax deeply…

Now,

just focus your attention on the top of your head…

your scalp…

Imagine you simply
relax
