How to Hypnotize volunterily

Hypnotizing someone who volunteers to be hypnotized is actually a very simple process. Since the person wants to be hypnotized to begin with, their subconscious will be highly responsive to any suggestions you give them, and they'll follow your directions. There is a simple 6 step process that I used when I first began hypnotizing clients. You can use it too by practicing on a willing friend or family member. The 6 Step Process 1. First of all, you want to make sure the person is relaxed. Laying down on a bed or sitting in a chair is ideal. Make sure you're somewhere quiet, where there's not much of a chance that you will be disturbed. 2. For the second step, you want to tell the person that they will be in control the entire time and they will feel themselves becoming deeply relaxed. You could say something such as "and as you listen to my voice, you will feel your body becoming deeply relaxed now". 3. Once the person is relaxed, have them imagine that they're walking down a staircase of 20 steps, and ask the person to count in their minds from 20 down to 0 as they take each step down. Tell the person that at the end of the staircase is a state of deep relaxation that cannot be seen, only felt. Let the person count their steps in their own mind, don't say it out aloud for them. You can even give the person a couple of minutes to do this, as it does not matter if there's a minute or two of silence once they reach the last step. 4. Say the following to the person: "As you feel yourself in this deeply relaxed state, you will notice that your right hand is so relaxed, that it feels as if it has a thousand heavy blankets on top of it. No matter how hard you try to lift up your right hand, you won't be able to". You will notice that the person will be unable to lift up their right hand. Have the person do this with their left hand, and both of their feet (this is a process known as a 'deepening technique'). 5. Once this is done you may plant any suggestions you like within the person. You could tell the person they will feel more confident, tell them that they will feel more energy and positive, tell them that they will exercise frequently in order to lose weight. You can plant almost any suggestion you like within the person. 6. Once the above steps are complete, simply have the person imagine that they're walking back up the flight of stairs again, counting in their minds from 0 until 20. Tell them that once they reach the top step at 20, they will open their eyes and feel wide awake and fully alert. Practice the above example a few times until you become confident with it. Confidence is the key to using hypnosis successfully, and once you acquire that confidence, the process becomes very easy. This is a great way to hypnotize someone voluntarily.
