Everything Comes Back to This!
Box 1: Street Hypnosis See “Rapid Street Hypnosis”
•
Understanding Hypnosis (most don’t!) o
Influence of the subconscious
o
Communication
o
Achieving a goal
o
Creating a context in which your goal is inevitable – ie induction / formal process.
o
No one gets hypnosis! Certainly not a ‘magic state’ but powerful process of influence
o
AND a supercharged belief system that Street Hypnotists both battle and work with
•
The Hypnotic Bind... (it’s hypnosis because they think it’s hypnosis...)
•
Why do it?
•
•
o
Fun
o
Practice
o
Understand techniques
o
Promotion – Jeff S story – discovery and brain pirate
The Process o
Intro => Induction = > Deepener = > Awaken
o
Training wheels!
o
Don’t be bound by this
Safety / “Wake Up” o
Three criteria
Resume “normal” state – energetic, outward focused
Completely remove all suggestions given (except in therapy)
Leave feeling happy / relaxed etc
o
You cannot get stuck in hypnosis BECAUSE there’s no such thing!
o
Stay with them, stay firm and stay relaxed.
o
Learn and practice awakener
(c) Keys To The Mind www.HypnotizeAnywhere.com
o
Abreactions
Avoid regression / therapy unless you’ve been trained (so don’t do regressions just for fun)
Stay calm – avoid touching
9 Words – scene fades and you tend to your breathing
Subconscious mind has revealed to you information before you’re conscious mind is ready to deal with it. Your subconscious mind will now keep this info safely stored away until you’re ready to deal with it.
•
o
Physical safety – roads and crowds
o
Feel good principle
Pre-Talk / Expectation o
You don’t need to lecture!
o
Create expectation and set the frame.
o
Learn and practice
o
Essential: Run the show!
o
Frame control – elegant and relaxed. Not combative. You are the “Doctor” – the expert.
o
o
The “sceptic” –
Story – tip of the tongue etc
Story from your experience
Demo
“Would you consider yourself open minded?”
Relax!
The “challenger”
Avoid!
Or reverse – “prove to me that you have the imagination to be hypnotized!”
o
The “afraid” / control freak
•
hypnosis gives YOU the power... Just like being fascinated by a movie etc
Inductions / deepeners o
Go through formula in book, walk through arm drop
o
Do step by step with ‘wake up’
(c) Keys To The Mind www.HypnotizeAnywhere.com

Relax about timing etc!
o
Do step by step with deepener and wake up
o
Fractionate with different inductions and wake ups
o
Expect it to succeed
Hypnotic Phenomena o
Creating a belief and a reality
o
YOUR reality must be stronger than theirs
o
Speak with utter conviction
Tell them something that is 100% true “your hair is black”
Tell them something that is controversial but might be true / or is subjective “Obama is great etc.”
Tell them something that is false BUT say it as if it were 100% true “You are an elephant”
Do this 10 times with different made up sentences – practice increasing the conviction – convince yourself that it’s true (cycle through nouns if need be!)
o
Remember no such thing as “hypnosis” so nothing is unique to the hypnosis process – just applications of belief and imagination
o
Explain each with reference to everyday equivalent
Ideo-dynamic – handshake, blink
Amensia – “tip of the tongue”
Hallucination – Wallet / Friend
Catalepsy – Daze, stuck, relaxed.
