• Audio session

How to structure a freeflow hypnosis session

Welcome to lesson 4 and one of the most important parts of learning how to do hypnosis - how to compose a hypnosis session and why you do it this way.

Now, although this course is for people who want to hypnotise themselves for personal development and self help, the way to get really good at self hypnosis is to treat yourself as someone else when doing the hypnosis.

For this reason you use "you" instead of "I" when hypnotising yourself, and follow all the same principles as we have covered so far.

Conscious vs unconscious response

Don't get confused between your conscious and unconscious mind. You may consciously think "I don't need all that to go into hypnosis", but your unconscious mind will respond to hypnotic language regardless.

It's just the same as when someone blushes - they are thinking "Oh no, I really don't want to blush ", but they are blushing all the same.

This doesn't mean you can hypnotize people if they don't want to be hypnotized - your subject does actually have to listen!

So, before I get too far off track, the point here is that when doing self hypnosis, pretend you are hypnotizing someone else - it works best that way.

So you're going to hypnotize yourself...

OK, so imagine you are sitting down to do a self hypnosis session. Instead of listening to a CD, you want to do your own session.

A great way to learn hypnosis quickly is to record your own sessions and then listen to them later (if you can leave a day or so between recording and listening that's even better).

This enables you to hear what worked well, and what you need to work on. Making a recording also makes you focus so you learn better.

You know what to say to yourself - remember the language patterns - but how do you put it all together?

Here's how...

• Start by observing the way you feel. If you are feeling a bit 'hyper', then start your induction off briskly - there's nothing worse than hypnosis that mis-matches the way you feel. In this case, start off your induction by talking quite quickly and in an 'everyday' voice'. This parallels your emotional state and makes it easier for your unconscious mind to get involved.
• Talk about things that are immediately observable to start with - "You are sitting in that chair", "You can listen to my voice", "You are still nice and awake" - remember 'adjunctive suggestions' in the'Hypnotic Language Patterns' article in lesson 2?
• As you feel yourself beginning to focus, just start to slow your voice down slightly, and soften it a little - suddenly jumping into 'Mr Hypno' voice will just jarr.
• Begin introducing nominalizations for the sort of response you want - you know; relaxation, calmness, focus - that sort of thing. Start making suggestions for responses.
• Start to use imaginative involvement - talk about things you can see, hear, smell, touch and feel. As you begin to relax, your imagination will work better.
• Once you have attained a good level of relaxation, you can do any rehearsal you want to do - you can rehearse how you want to feel in a particular situation. (much more on this in the DVD).
• When you decide you want to bring the session to a close, draw the attention away from internal imagination back to things in the immediate environment, such as sensations in the body, sounds in the room. This will begin the re-orientation process. As you do this, very gradually make your voice more normal. This will serve as a message to the unconscious to return to the normal waking state.

OK, so now I'll give you an example of this so you can hear what I mean...

if you really do want it add on my facebook and ask from me. i will send you ;)

In our final lesson we will look at how you use hypnosis to achieve specific goals. Until then - relax...

Part 3 Hypnosis

Hello

In lesson 3:

• The Staircase Induction
• Hypnotic versus non-hypnotic language
• Audio download

Hi there!

As always, straight on with the nitty-gritty...

In lesson 2 you heard about hypnotic language patterns, read the script and listened to the download, so you should now have a good idea how they are used to create a hypnotic experience.

Now it's your turn.

This lesson, you are going to learn how to write your own trance script using a 'structured' induction - that is, a framework within which to use your hypnotic language patterns.

Once you get good at hypnosis, you won't need this sort of structure, but as a learning tool, it is very useful.

The Staircase Induction

The framework we are going to use is that of a walk down a staircase to a relaxing place. Extremely simple, but within that structure, the only restrictions are the limits of your own imagination. You can really enjoy yourself with this! (In fact, hypnosis works best when you relax and let your mind do it's creative stuff.)

So here's how it goes:

• Imagine a staircase
• Walk down the staircase
• As you walk down, notice that it leads to a beautiful and relaxing place
• Enter that relaxing place and enjoy being there
• When you're done, come back up the stairs

Simple huh? But, as with most things, it's not what you say, it's how you say it, and this is where your hypnotic language comes in. Using hypnotic language to convey every aspect of the induction transforms it from a rather mundane idea into an enrapturing experience.

Hypnotic vs Non-hypnotic

Here's what I mean by using hypnotic language to convey the experience - let's take an example for each part of the above structure:

• Non-hypnotic: "You can see a staircase" versusHypnotic: "You know what a staircase looks like do you not? And in your mind's eye I'd like you just to notice what sort of a staircase you could notice there - whether it's a spiral staircase, a straight one, inside or out, with carpet, or wood to walk on..."
• Non-hypnotic: "You can walk down the staircase" versus
  Hypnotic: "As you place that first foot on the first step, just be aware that part of you can notice the sensation of the floor under your foot, that your hand can rest on a bannister if need be, and that with every step down you can go more and more relaxed..."
• Non-hypnotic: "You can see a beautiful place at the bottom" versus
  Hypnotic: "As you continue slowly and comfortably down that staircase becoming more and more relaxed as you do so, I'd like you to become aware on one level that you are going somewhere incredibly peaceful and relaxing. That could be on a sight level - being aware of a place you can see, on a hearing level - noticing the sounds of such a place, on a feeling level - just getting a sense in your body that you are about to go somewhere where you can relax unbelievably deeply..."
• Non-hypnotic: "You are in a beautiful place" versus
  Hypnotic: "Now I don't know what sort of a place that would be for you, the kind of place that just reassures and comforts you, that allows comfort and relaxation to drift gently into every part of you, relaxing you more and more deeply. I don't know the sort of things that would give you an incredible sense of peace and calm. For some people it is the sights, sounds, smells, and senses of a garden, the many greens, the blueness of the sky, the scent of blooms, the sensation of dewy grass on bare feet... but that place can be any place you like, inside or out... "
• Non-hypnotic: "Now you are walking back up the stairs"
  versus Hypnotic: "And when you are ready, you can find yourself gently drifting, strolling, walking or floating back to the base of those stairs and in your own time, just letting yourself be carried up them, and with every step higher you come up, more and more alertness can come back to your mind and body, while keeping that wonderful feeling of calmness deep inside..."

OK, so I hope you're getting the idea. This would be a good time to go back over the script from last week - you can use it to spot where I have used the various techniques in the examples above.

The final part of today's lesson is an audio session where I give you an example of the Staircase Induction. This you can use to get a good idea of the overall picture before doing your own.

Tip: One trick I used to use was to listen to other peoples' inductions and write out the trance script as I listened. It's amazing how quickly your unconscious mind learns when you apply that sort of focus!

That's all for today! I'll see you in 2 days time for a lesson on the 'rules' for putting together your own 'freeflow' inductions.

See you then,

Part 2 Hypnosis

In Lesson 2:

• Hypnotic language patterns
• Trance Script
• Audio Download

WELCOME back! I hope you've had a chance to practise the things you learnt in lesson 1. Just a quick reminder, they were...

• Hypnosis is the focused, relaxed use of the brain's 'reality simulator'
• Hypnosis involves relaxation and focus
• You can create a hypnotic state by drawing attention to details of an experience or sensations
• You need to 'paint a picture' in the mind
• You use your voice softly and slowly to create relaxation
• You use nominalizations to create an 'inner search'

Phew, that's quite a lot of info! And we're only just getting started.

Lesson 2 : Hypnotic Language Patterns

In today's lesson, you will learn more about language patterns - that is, specific and precise ways of using words that help create a hypnotic experience.

If you listen to a truly crafted piece of hypnosis, it will almost seem like normal speech - well OK, maybe not normal, but certainly not "You are getting sleepy, your arms are getting heavy".

Why not?

Well because most people don't like to be ordered around, simple as that. That sort of language is neither natural nor acceptable to most people.

Elegant hypnotic language is much, much more subtle. So subtle in fact that adverts you watch every day are swimming in it - and you've probably never noticed.

But hold on! If that's hypnosis, isn't everything hypnosis?

Well yes! And no. The point is, there are ways of communicating that make it more likely for your suggestions to be accepted. That is what I mean by hypnotic language patterns. And this is just as important when you are doing self hypnosis. These patterns work on an unconscious level, so they even work on me!

The hypnotic language patterns that we're going to cover now are:

• Nominalizations (we've already done these, but they bear repeating!)
• Embedded commands
• Illusory choice
• Presuppositions
• Adjunctive suggestions
• Confusional language
• Metaphor and analogy

Now, to stop this email getting too huge, click here to learn about the patterns.

How to get good at hypnosis

To be a good hypnotist, you need to 'integrate' these language patterns so they become second nature to you.

The best way I can recommend (and the way the students on our courses learn), is to write out examples of the different patterns - as many as you can - then use them to record a hypnotic session onto tape or your computer.

However, listening to hypnosis sessions will make this much, much easier. Hearing the language patterns in action will help 'embed' them, and make you learn so much faster. (And, of course, you'll feel great while you're doing it! It's not really like study at all is it?

And when you do, I promise you will be absolutely astounded at the difference it makes to your communication, your confidence and your overall personal development.

Free script and induction download

Click here for today's support page, where you can download a sample hypnosis script and its audio, so you can hear the language patterns being used.

Next time...

OK, so we've covered a lot this lesson, so I'll leave you to listen to your download and check out the language pattern script.

In lesson 3 in two days time, we'll be talking about 'structured' inductions and how you can use your new knowledge of hypnotic language patterns to create your own trance script.

Happy hypnotising!

Part 1 Hypnosis

Hello In Lesson 1: What is hypnosis? Exercise handout download Audio download Hello! And a big welcome to this, the web's first online hypnosis course with audio sessions. Seeing as you have signed up, I guess you already know how amazing hypnosis can be, so I won't waste your time going on about that. And this is the way this course is going to be - no extra fluff, no filler - there is plenty you need to learn about hypnosis without extra waffle. A quick introduction, then we'll get started. I'm Roger Elliott ofUncommon Knowledge. We train hypnotherapists in the latest applications of hypnosis - you won't be getting any out-of-date or second-rate information here! Uncommon Knowledge also publishes a range of websites and products, you can see them listed in the right-hand column of this email. As you will see from our sites, as well as knowing hypnosis inside-out,we have a deep understanding of psychology, which is essential if you are going to make the most of hypnosis. Like a cart without horses, hypnosis is useless if you don't know what to do with it! “It’s the optimum psychological and physical state in which to update responses to life so we can overcome difficulties and excel. For example we can use hypnosis to help update the anxious public speaker’s response of fear to that of calm when they are presenting.” Listen to an interview with Mark Tyrrell about how hypnotherapy can be used to overcome social anxiety, what hypnosis really is and how it is intimately connected with the REM state, the nature of the unconscious mind and how you can actually learn to use hypnosis on yourself. So let's get started right away... Before you start to learn how to use hypnosis to help yourself and others, we need to get rid of any myths you may have heard about hypnosis - mind-control, wizards, zombies - that sort of thing. Read this article before you go any further. OK, so now you know what hypnosis is not! What is hypnosis? Since you are going to be using hypnosis, you need a working description of what hypnosis is. A clear, understandable one, so here it is: Hypnosis is simply the deliberate use of the imagination, paralleled with strong focus and relaxation. Done well, it can work in the same way as when you are dreaming - the mind's 'Reality Simulator'. Developing Focus So when you go into hypnosis, you simply get very involved with an inner reality, and we create this involvement, this focus, by drawing attention to detail in an interesting way. It's just like when you read a good book; a great author will make the words impossible to ignore - he or she will paint pictures in your mind. A good hypnotist will do the same. But it's not just about colorful imagination, it's about controlling your attention - getting it focused on one or a few things. You can do this by deliberately noticing sensations within your own body. As an aside, when you can reliably control your own attention, you have a great skill - imagine being able to choose what you think about at any time - or to be able to choose to think about nothing (really handy for falling asleep!). Creating Relaxation You can create relaxation in hypnosis in 2 ways: by recalling relaxing times (recalling a memory is a hypnotic process as you have to re-construct it) by talking in a relaxing, soothing way - slowly, with pauses, in a soft, low voice. This sends an unconscious message to relax. How to 'Rebuild Experience' - Practical Exercise Aim: To develop the most important hypnotic skill - the ability to recreate experiences within the mind. Method: From a pleasant memory, such as a holiday, or something you enjoy doing, make a note of all the different elements that made up that experience. Process: Download this worksheet and fill it in. Creating Relaxation On the worksheet, you will see examples of 'nominalizations'. These words are hypnotic because they have no real meaning by themselves. You have to 'go inward' to assess what they mean for you - so they create an experience, which is what we are looking for with hypnosis. (More on this later in the course). When completing the worksheet, use as many of these types of words as you can, and get used to spotting them in everyday life. (Politicians, salespeople and 'gurus' use them a lot) Audio Lesson Now go to back the course support page and listen to the audio session. In it, I show you how to convert what you have just done into a hypnotic script. I want you to listen out for: My use of nominalizations The way I use all the senses How I use my voice OK, that's today's lesson finished! To get good at this, you should practise describing as many experiences as possible (you can print the handout out as many times as you like), and then convert them into a hypnotic script like I did. Don't worry about being good at this stage, just practise> - that's how you get good at hypnosis.
