CLIENT HISTORY:
Gabriel has been hypnotized by me during several different sessions, so a strong rapport, expectation and hypnotic conditioning have long been established. Although he responds well to direct suggestion, he responds especially well to metaphorical and symbolic patter. He graciously agreed to be filmed, so we could study his responses.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The video begins with the client in a highly suggestible state. "The Zone" induction you see in this video was created by me on the spur of the moment. It was neither done from a script nor by rote. It was improvised based on the information given to me by the client whose eyes remain open for most of the induction. The words "zone" and "zoned" are not pre-conditioned suggestions. Although conversational inductions can be done far more subtly than this, for demonstrational purposes, I chose to use embedded suggestions that can be easily noticed by viewers; so Gabriel's reactions can be easily compared to the implied suggestions.

This is an extremely simplified, basic conversational re-induction structure that can be used when hypnotizing someone who has a casual interest in sports and a familiarity or facility with entering hypnoidal states. A far more elaborate, covert structure would be used as an initial conversational induction with someone who is not familiar with the state of hypnosis. Do not use this specific induction on professional athletes or clients who are visiting you for sports related hypnosis. Can anyone tell me why you shouldn't use this particular (zone) induction on athletes who are currently involved in competitive (as opposed to casual recreation) sports? Please submit your answers to this question by email, so others have a chance to think about it without seeing the answers posted.

For those learning hypnosis, notice the following:
--The client's change in state despite having his eyes wide open
--Signs of entering the hypnotic state: stillness, intense focus, response to simple suggestion.
--The client's reaction to implied suggestions (NOTE: none of the suggestions were pre-conditioned; however, the client is familiar with entering the state of hypnosis).
--Use of metaphor
--Wordplay

  • I am blown away by your confidence, timing, and technique. You are a true master

  • @doctamic There is an hierarchy of language. Pace and lead is a good start.

  • My question is this: I'm studying NLP right now and working on hypnosis both covert and normal. Any suggestions? What is your best method for state induction?
