CREATING GREAT HYPNOTIC INDUCTIONS
Author: Jo Ana Starr Ph.D.

CREATING GREAT HYPNOTIC INDUCTIONS INVOLVES 3
IMPORTANT COMPONENTS:


1.DETERMINE THAT YOUR CLIENT IS HERE OF HIS OWN VOLITION.

Make sure he wants what he is here for. It sounds silly, but Hypnosis sessions that are not successful, are frequently performed with clientswho "think" that they should "stop" doing something, or whose family
"thinks" they should stop doing something, but who inreality don't WANT to stop doing anything. People who don't want to stop, DON'T. Please don't set yourself for failure. Only Hypnotize people who WANT to make changes.

2. INDUCE YOU CLIENT SLOWLY AND COMPLETELY. Stage

Hypnotists enjoy the Quick Induction because it is flashy and easier, butwe don't have an audience to entertain- we are more concerned that ourclient is fully Hypnotized. We teach our Adult Learners that Hypnosis only works when the client is Hypnotized. Sounds obvious, but there are a lotof 30 minute Hypnosis sessions going on out there with less than great success. Take your client slowly down the stairs or whatever method youuse to induce Hypnosis. That extra 10 minutes can be the difference between success and failure in your session. Spend the time. Give your client everything you've got, and he will succeed.

3. FULLY ENGAGE YOUR CLIENT'S SUBCONSCIOUS MIND - with the use of Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic response-triggering language.The Hypnotic induction is designed to lull the client's Conscious mind intoa sleep-like state. In the process of doing this, we need to fully engage
the Subconscious and stimulate it with suggestions of sights, and sounds,and smells. We want to shift our client's mental energy into the creative and playful mind - the Subconscious.

Great Hypnosis scripts work best on fully Hypnotized clients. If you make certain that your client is Hypnotized by allowing him to safely andcompletely enter the appropriate Hypnotic State, & then engage his Subconscious mind with sights and sounds and smells, you will be delighted with the level of success that your clients experience.
