At its basis, hypnosis is when you decive / fool your mind into sleeping. Just like when you for a moment zone out while walking, reading book or even driving except this time you try to recreate this state on purpose. Let me rephrase this again!! We already experience this in our daily lives, this time you yourself do it rather than randomly having it in your daily life routine.
When you manage to do that your mind loses the ability to filter things through its logic. Your mind basically dreams when you are awake. The things that are suggested to you become registered as truth to your mind. That is when you can install triggers.
It would be good to provide an analogy to learn what it is as it will help you achieve it.
So, think of your mind consisting of 2 parts, one conscious and the other sub-conscious.
Basically your task is to by-pass the conscious mind (guard) so that it steps aside, just for you to speak to the sub-conscious mind.
-> When you think of fighting someone in your imagination, you sometimes get your heartbeat up faster. Do the same for sleeping and relaxing :)
----–
There are many ways to do this, so at this point you need to try various ways to achieve it.
These tecniques include countdown relaxations, conversational / overloadings etc… So find what suits you the best. It will happen automatically. But there are some things that you can try to make easier to happen.
- Play along with it.
- Follow the instructions, play a game of pretend.
- Do not overthink like "is it working, am i getting hypnotized" Just allow the guard! to step aside.
- Experiment: For example do not think that darkness may make it easier for you to focus or relax by default, try with the lights on, to your surprise you may find it much better. Try lying down or sitting. One may work for someone but something different may hit your spot.
My personal favourites are like this, so you may experiment with them:
匚卄卂尺ㄥㄖㄒㄒ乇 呂尺丹と's Remote control 1 and Out like a light
Ҝ卂丂卄卂 丂卄卂Ҝㄒ丨's Surrender
几工片片工 千卂ㄒ卂ㄥ乇's Magical Hour Glass (conversational)
丨丂卂乃乇ㄥㄥ卂 ᐯ卂ㄥ乇几ㄒ丨几乇's Cloud 9
Ember Larimar's Blue Lotus
Miss Lilith's Venomous Persuasions
Lady Aurora's Relaxation Induction
Arianna Erickson / Her some old recordings are great, I know that the sound quality is meh, but it is what does the job for me sometimes as it sounds authentic.
----------------—-
→ This is my technique: try imagining yourself sitting at a school desk and writing what the hypnotist says in the recording into your notebook in your imagination. But do it in detail. Feel yourself drawing the the exact shapes of the letters. Maintain this focus for a good span of time, after a while you will go on autopilot.
Or you can repeat the sentences in your mind. Just like an echo from a wall.
