The basics on how to hypnotize others

Welcome to the How to Hypnotize Others blog! There is a wealth of free information here which is all thanks to this resource. I would highly recommend you check it out.

Being able to hypnotize other people sounds difficult but there are a few basic principles that you can stick to which will help to hypnotically induce practically anyone. So what I am going to show you today are some common triggers that you can use in the majority of people.

NOTE: These are common NLP (neuro linguistic programming) triggers that we all have.

1. Fear

This would be the number one trigger to use because as a society we are run by fear of loss. Everyone wants to be in a position where they can have something better than others and if there is a chance that we will miss out on something good the fear of not having it creeps in. The other fear is that of insecurity and being self conscious where most people care what others will think of them so they will do what ever it takes not to tarnish their "reputation". Play with these fears in order to direct your conversation towards your final goal outcome.

2. Flattery

This is great because there is not a person in this world who does not like to hear how great they are. It is very easy to misdirect someone if you play on their ego and confirm that they are better than others. This distracts their mind from focusing on anything else really and allows you to subtly implant suggestion.

3. Pity

This is useful when you are trying to create rapport/connection with someone because it confirms that you are listening to the other person. Sympathizing to their negative insecurity will generally "knock down" their defensive wall and then they will actually start to process what you tell them making it easier to hypnotically induce them.

4. Positivity

It is so much easier to influence someone when they are in a positive mood! Think about how many times you have done an impulse purchase because you where feeling in a good mood (particularly holidays). Also if you are optimistic this will rub off on the other person believe me, so make sure that you yourself are in a positive frame of mind before you begin to hypnotize and be alert for when they are excited about something in particular and confirm how great it is. I cannot stress how important it is to keep your subject in this frame of mind because this is when it is the easiest to hypnotize them.

Do you want to know how to hypnotize someone instantly?

This is very difficult to do because it depends on a few variables.

1. Is this person someone you know OR
2. Are they a stranger?

It is much easier to accomplish instant hypnosis on somebody that you know because you are already aware of what triggers their reactions.

Example - Instantly hypnotize someone you know
You want to convince Jenny to go out tonight for dinner and drinks but she normally likes to use Friday night (tonight) as home time to unwind from the week at work. Pressuring her that she is not a team player and that she is getting old does not work and her reaction is always to reconfirm her decision to stay at home. This is a powerful piece of knowledge regarding her NLP because you can go straight into the conversation using a different suggestion linking it to a positive trigger like,

“Jenny you would not believe that discount on access to the club tonight! $30 entry all you can drink, saves a lot of money for shopping tomorrow.”

Can you see how the purpose of tonight emphasises the positive of tomorrow. This is a very powerful form of misdirection which can also be transferred to hypnotizing a stranger.


Example - Instantly hypnotize a stranger
So when you are trying to persuade a stranger to do something it is best to use very common triggers that 90% of the population have in common. This generally comes down to playing on a common fear and if they will lose an opportunity if they do not do what you say. There are examples of this when TV ads claim that “this stock take sale won’t last, act now to get access to this offer before others do!” It works every time which is why these ad’s continue and you too can also use this technique when trying to hypnotize someone instantly.

So you want to sell a new phone to a client and need the sale now or you will lose the commission. Here is a common technique: You notice they eye a particular phone so you come over to them and say,

“Hi my name is Mr X, you have impeccable taste, simply because that is the same phone all my friends have. Unfortunately this model will probably be limited and I have been getting orders all day. Take your time and look around but if I were you I would put in a reservation request.”

From this statement you have created rapport, a sense of want, fear of loss and implanted suggestion that will not leave the person’s mind even if they want it to. If you think about this situation you can probably relate and also confirm that many spur of the moment decisions have been suggested indirectly by someone.

There are many other methods to accomplish this but I would recommend looking at this conversational hypnosis coaching for in depth information.

Learn self Hypnosis

If you are reading this post then you want to learn how to hypnotize yourself. This is probably to either increase your confidence or to kick a habit or an addiction that you might have. This is actually quite common and hypnosis is proved to give the best results for self improvement. Lets have a look at the common causes for addictions and how it relates to hypnosis.

What causes your addiction/habit

This is generally related to a stressful time in your life when you needed a distraction from the stress and this distraction was something that made you feel better temporarily. Usually it is smoking, overeating, drinking or procrastination that we commonly have as our distractions and they give us a moment of relief from our task at hand where we do not have to concentrate on anything else. The problem here is that you have programmed yourself to react in a certain way when stress (or whatever the task may be) is on your mind. This is called NLP neuro-linguistic programming and what hypnosis will do is teach you how to change your NLP.

Hypnosis and NLP

Hypnosis is using the understanding of common NLP triggers and how to manipulate them to implant suggestion into someones head. A common NLP trigger is that the word "fail" means a bad thing and when that is associated with yourself it is a very bad thing. The job at hand with self hypnosis is to understand what your trigger is that makes you want to do your distraction (addiction/habit). The next step is to create a different analogy and response to this trigger and imbed that into your subconcious so that in the future when the trigger happens again your response is not to go to your distraction.

A good resource to learn self hypnosis

The best resource that I would recommend is the link that I have at the top/left of this screen. It provides hours of support and the opportunity to learn hypnosis from the best teacher in the World.

Learn How to Hypnotize Someone

So you want to learn how to hypnotize someone and you do not know if it is possible. Do not worry anyone can learn hypnosis and the key is to find the right teacher. I will give some basics to follow when hypnotizing a person and then give you a reference to a great learning source.

Be in the right mindset

If you have doubt in your own mind about the credibility of hypnosis then I suggest you get rid of it ASAP. The only way to be able to learn anything is to remove doubt from your mind and make sure you believe in what you are being taught no matter what other people tell you. This transfers across to when you are using hypnosis because if you want to be able to persuade someone to do something than your focus has to be at 100%.

Confidence

This is especially important when you are implementing the hypnotic induction because this is when you put your person into a suggestive state. This process requires you to take charge and create analogies for your 'subject' so that their mind is open to your suggestions and if your confidence is low it will translate in your tone and delivery so make sure that you keep your confidence at a high.

Choose the right hypnosis teacher

I don't have to tell you that a bad teacher gives bad results and generally you get what you pay for. Please please please do not buy a $50 online hypnosis download because if you are starting out as a hypnosis student you need actual support from a professional. There is a guy called Igor Ledochowski who is the World authority on teaching hypnosis to "average Joe." I have a link at the top/left of this screen that will take you to a review of his course and how you can get involved. He offers access to his hypnosis club where you can contact him directly as well as a set of audio CD's, transcripts and heaps more. This is the kind of teacher who will give you results.
