How To Hypnotize A Person?

November 14, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Hypnosis is usually defined as a trance-like state in which a person becomes more aware and focused and is more open to suggestion. Many people get confused about what hypnosis means, assuming they will be enticed to quack like a duck or beep whenever someone says a particular word they hear. You do not need to learn how to hypnotize anyone to benefit from hypnosis.

So how does hypnosis really work for people using it to decrease stress, stop smoking, or encourage weight loss in their lives? You don’t stare at a swinging object and instantly lose consciousness. It’s done in a controlled, relaxing manner to help put you into a daydream like state – while you’re awake and fully aware of what’s going on around you.

When you learn more about hypnosis, you find out that the mental state is more of a relaxed time to free your mind from other thoughts and open up onto new thinking paths. People who use hypnosis dig into their subconscious mind to modify their normal thinking patterns.

To use a practical example, if a person wants to learn hypnosis to stop smoking, they might use hypnosis to change their outlook on the cigarette. Smoking is no longer a priority and becomes a wrong action that will repel them.

It is exactly like if you were planting seeds of thought into your subconscious mind so that they can root and grow from there. The more trained your brain is, the easier it gets to alter your behaviour.

Hypnosis is a tool anyone can use. So how to hypnotize someone or be hypnotized for the better? Most of us have experienced reading a book and be so focused on the story that we could not even notice anything going on around us: our mind was free from external disturbances.

You may have also found yourself in a zoned out state where you’re so focused on one thing that you have no idea someone is talking to you at that moment. Hypnosis is akin to a zoned-out state of consciousness.

The person is well aware of what’s happening, but they are only focused on the hypnotic attraction and not on any other environmental stimuli going on around them. When you’ve successfully reached a hypnotic state, you – or a hypnosis specialist – can plant alternative thoughts into your subconscious to help change your thinking patterns.
