OK, here’s the final piece of the hypnosis principle puzzle (for the moment) if you want to learn to hypnotize people. Then we’ll get on to basic hypnosis techniques in some of my future posts. And then back to some principles.

It’s what the hypnosis techniques do that counts – not what they are.

I can’t emphasize this point enough. You can learn the best so-called hypnosis techniques out there and if you don’t understand what it is they do, what the intent behind them is … you will fall flat on your face one day. You’ll come across a situation that you have ‘no technique’ for. And you’ll be stuck.

However, if you know the intent of a particular step in a hypnosis technique … then you’ll be able to generate techniques on-the-fly if necessary (after a little practice), because you’ll know you are after a particular response or result.

If you take all these principles to heart, particularly this one, then I believe you are going to be far ahead of the typical hypnosis student. You’ll have the flexibility to adapt as you go because you’ll know it’s not the hypnosis technique that count but what lies behind the intent of the technique.

Have a good trip.
