There I was in the technical library, studying hard for my engineering papers and looking to take a break … and I stumbled across an old dusty book on hypnosis and devoured it over the weekend. I spent the next couple of years trying to hypnotize all my friends and work colleagues. I had some success (as I considered it then) and some failures and it was mostly for fun – a trick to do at parties, a great conversation starter with the girls!

The thing is, and I realize this now, is that I really knew nothing about hypnosis back then. And after spending 25 years exploring what you would consider some pretty unusual applications of hypnosis I still feel I’ve got so much yet to discover … hmmmm

So you want to learn to hypnotize do you?

We could start where a majority of the courses and products start – and focus mainly on technique – … or we could explore some basic principles that if you take to heart will jump-start your understanding of how to do hypnosis. Perhaps it will take years off the learning curve as you go forward and explore the wonderful and sometimes weird world of hypnosis.

So let’s start with something that you MUST get right:

Hypnosis is not something you do to people – it is something that they do to themselves.

This is one of the biggest misconceptions there is out there. The person being hypnotized is doing all the magic! Sure, you might be a great guide, an artist even, in helping people open their internal doors that allow the ‘hypnotic state’ to occur. But they are ultimate master and author of their experience – not you! And this is where trust comes into things … the more comfortable someone is with you the more they may open up. And the more congruent you are in your behavior – the better the experience for the other person. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
