Stuck In A Self-Hypnosis Rut? Try These 13 Powerful Induction Methods To Induce A Deep Trance – 2nd Edition

Stuck In A Self-Hypnosis Rut? Try These 13 Powerful Induction Methods To Induce A Deep Trance - 2nd Edition

When it comes to inducing a deep, self-hypnotic trance, a common misconception is that there is a magical, fool-proof method.

There is not.

The secret sauce is actually much more localized, specific to each individual’s practice.

If you haven’t guessed, it all boils down to you.

To what your mindset is, and your willingness to persevere if you hit a brick wall.

One reason many people fail at self-hypnosis is because they tend to focus on the method first, and when this doesn’t work, there is a strong temptation to give up and let out an exasperated exhale.

Needless to say, this is not a very effective approach. Which is exactly why we encourage the opposite.

In order to master self-hypnosis, you need to first focus on mastering yourself, and only then use an induction method to get you into a trance.

A little like how if you’re a hypnotist, you need to set a positive intention (your H+) before putting a subject into trance.

If you rock up to the session in a grumpy mood feeling distracted, no matter which techniques you use, they’re not going to work.

Your mood will rub off on your subject. If you have trouble going into a trance first (going first), and setting the tone you want your subject to experience, how do expect them to reach the desired state?

The same is true when you practice self-hypnosis. You need to set your mental state first, and only then use your desired induction method.

How To Set The Right Mental State For Self-Hypnosis

Having a go-to induction method can be useful as it helps your brain get into sync and quickly get down to business.
But of course, no two days are the same. What works for you one day may be less powerful on another, depending on your state of mind.

So mixing things up by using different techniques can be a useful way to keep the conscious mind stimulated and focused before you sink into a deep trance.

But before starting with an induction method, it is important to remind yourself of why you want to get into a trance.

The reason self-hypnosis is so powerful is because of how it gives you the ability to gain access to the unconscious, which is why it’s a fantastic tool for tapping into creativity, abundant mindsets, problem solving – among many other things.

So having a clear idea in advance of what you want to achieve during self-hypnosis will set you off on the right foot.

However, it is the gaining access to your unconscious that often poses the greatest challenge. If you’re having trouble inducing yourself into a hypnotic state, do not get frustrated.

What may appear to be a problem is a learning opportunity for improving your ability to go under.

[AUDIO] Interview With Master NLP Practitioner & Hypnosis Trainer: Martijn Groenendal Reveals How NLP Will Make You Better Hypnotist

Interview With Master NLP Practitioner & Hypnosis Trainer: Martijn Groenendal Reveals How NLP Will Make You Better Hypnotist

Hypnosis & NLP.

These two worlds often crossover.

So today we have Martijn Groenendal, NLP and master hypnosis trainer here to clear up any confusion in case you’ve ever wondered where to focus your own practice and training.

As you listen to the audio, you’ll notice NLP and Hypnosis do have a lot in common. Milton Erickson, the father of hypnosis, was one of the "therapeutic wizards" who inspired the linguist-mathematician duo Richard Bandler and John Grinder to figure out a "recipe" for the most effective therapeutic model to teach others.

The outcome?

Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

In terms of methodology, NLP is a collection of structures, strategies and techniques to help you change your internal dialogue. The idea is to change the "pictures and movies" in your mind because if you think different, you feel different and then you start to behave differently.

Hypnosis on the other hand uses a more open and creative way to communicate with the unconscious mind.

But what most people don’t realise is how NLP and Hypnosis reinforce one another and actually work most powerfully when used in combination.

As Martijn eloquently puts it "Hypnosis taught me everything about NLP and NLP taught me everything about Hypnosis."

So go ahead and listen to Martijn’s experience with NLP and Hypnosis to understand how he puts them together to create "through the roof" results for his clients.

How To Read Someone’s Mind: 5 Ethical Hypnotic Mind Reading Techniques So You Can Be A Force For Positive Change – 2nd Edition

How To Read Someone’s Mind: 5 Ethical Hypnotic Mind Reading Techniques So You Can Be A Force For Positive Change – 2nd Edition

Wouldn’t it be great if you could uncover a fact about someone that they hadn’t yet divulged to a living soul, and then use this information to enrich their life?

This is exactly what Milton Erickson regularly did. He was renowned for making unbelievable - yet accurate - predictions about people.

He once astounded a doctor colleague of his by congratulating her on her pregnancy.

This sounds all perfectly normal, you might be thinking.

But where things venture into the unusual is due to the fact that she had literally only just discovered that she was pregnant. She was yet to reveal the exciting news to anyone.

So how did he do this? Not even the baby’s father was aware of the pregnancy at this stage.

Although Erickson’s insight seemed like magic, he had, in fact, simply used his powers of observation.

And no, it wasn’t because she was showing either - as there was no obvious baby bump in sight.

However, he did happen to know about a condition known as Chloasma. This can develop in some pregnant women, and causes a mark (not dissimilar to skin pigmentation) to appear their forehead. This is also sometimes known as the "mask of pregnancy."

So rather than having some magical power, Erickson had observed that his colleague’s forehead bore this mark, so after presuming that she was pregnant, he congratulated her (while obviously astounding her in the process).

What Is Hypnotic Mind Reading And How Does It Work?

For hypnotists, language is all important and the words you use can either help or hinder you.

It’s important to be aware of the ways in which Hypnotic Mind Reading differs from Psychological Mind Reading.

Hypnotic Mind Reading should always be used to enrich someone’s life and be based on observations you make about a person. It should never be based on lies or deception!

But when used ethically, Hypnotic Mind Reading is an absolute killer way to bypass the critical factor - helping you to access a subject’s unconscious mind and get to work with helping them overcome whatever issue they’ve come to you for.

Meaning this technique is very effective when working with resistant subjects. But we can’t reiterate enough - using this kind of technique is only warranted when you have the intention of actually helping a subject. It should never be used for your own or someone else’s benefit.

Basically, it goes back to hypnosis ethics 101 where you only use this powerful skill to be a force for good in the world.

Psychological Mind Reading, on the other hand, is generally used for entertainment and is designed to be deceptive.

Here is a case study which is a prime example of how it is used in entertainment.
