Instant hypnosis. How the power of suggestion works

What does it represent?

What is hypnosis and how is it used?
A mode of increased sensitivity to stimuli, both external and internal, is hypnosis. According to one hypothesis, it is capable of changing the functional state of the brain, forcing our two hemispheres to work more synchronously. It is known that the left hemisphere is responsible for conscious thoughts, and the right hemisphere is responsible for the human subconscious. During hypnosis, an effect occurs on the psyche of people, which involves turning off their consciousness and subsequent introduction into a trance. With a clouded mind, they affect the uncontrolled part of the psyche. Thus, you can help get out of the captivity of addiction and depressive states, as well as fight complexes and various limiting attitudes that prevent you from enjoying a full life. Many people know that such hypnosis can be used to program a person to perform certain tasks.

Hypnosis has two components. This is suggestion and induction into a trance or hypnotic sleep. The hypnotist uses them in his work. A person with a disconnected consciousness does not think about anything. Putting a person into a trance is more difficult than influencing someone through suggestion.

The hypnotist instills certain attitudes during a session using a powerful or calm voice. Most statements are imposed, but perceived attitudes are also used voluntarily by people.

What is hypnosis?

For a long time, the hypnotic state was considered a form of sleep. Thus, the famous Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov explained the mechanism of hypnosis this way: monotonous sounds or tactile sensations create a focus of inhibition in the cerebral cortex. It spreads to the entire brain, and it falls asleep. The area responsible for communication with the hypnotist remains active.

However, the development of science has given scientists the opportunity to understand that a person under hypnosis does not sleep at all. He is awake, but his consciousness works differently. In particular, the following changes are observed:

Hypnotic techniques

There are several influence techniques in hypnosis. And they are different.

There are three types of hypnotic effects that people are exposed to in their lives:

• The technique of unconscious suggestion is a favorite method of manipulating other people. It is based on the intuitive application of varieties.
• The technique of suggestion on a conscious level is used not only by hypnologists, but also by scammers, including gypsies. With its help, attention is attracted and it is decided to a large extent how a person will continue to relate to the world around him. Individuals are in this state that they do not understand the purpose of their actions and what is happening around them. The unknown turns on the instinct of self-preservation. It is confusion and instincts that are used in this case by hypnotic influence.
• Non-contact suggestion is a method in which there is no need for the direct presence of the hypnotist next to the object. Can be used to induce a hypnotic state through online messages, videos. There are many different developments of IT specialists that are used for hypnosis.

It should not be forgotten that the listed methods are powerful tools for influencing a person and his psyche. Hypnosis can be helpful. It is applicable in many areas of human life. It helps, for example, to combat the emergence of conflict situations. Used in educational work, trade, and politics.

Mechanism of operation

Let's look at how hypnosis works. It involves influencing the right side of the human brain, bypassing in the process critical thinking, the controller of which is the left hemisphere. The main tasks of specialization of the left part of the brain are rational analysis and sequential processing of data. With the right hemisphere, the patient perceives nonverbal information in symbolic and figurative form.

Various working tools and methods of hypnotic influence are used (monotone voice, repetition of movements, verbal attitudes, etc.). This leads to inhibition of the left side of the brain. Thus, there is direct interaction with the right side. As a result, during immersion in a trance, a person loses the ability to think critically and remove the effect of the attitudes imposed by hypnotists.

Mastering the skill of hypnotic influence

If you are interested in hypnosis and how to master this skill, here are some recommendations:

• You should constantly study and master new knowledge. This area is constantly evolving. A beginner in hypnosis must learn to put another person into a trance and fixate it in this state.
• You need to get serious about your work, removing all possible obstacles on the way to your desired goal. It is important not to abuse alcohol and energy drinks, do everything according to schedule and believe in yourself. This attitude towards learning reduces the level of motivation and interest.
• You must have faith in your strengths and abilities, otherwise nothing will work out. You can use positive statements (affirmations). Before you start a training session, you need to set yourself up for the positive and not despair if you fail.
• It is necessary to critically evaluate your abilities by analyzing your own qualities. For hypnosis, the skills of observation, careful analysis of situations, concentration on the right moments, and self-control are important. If you are composed, confident, disciplined and responsible, then this will definitely make it easier to learn the ropes. However, such properties are acquired in our time with the help of NLP.
• It is necessary to choose the right hypnotic technique for a beginner hypnotist. This is the first important stage. A properly selected training system and setting a training regimen will greatly facilitate your path to your goal.

How to put a person into a hypnotic state?

Let's talk about how to put a person into hypnosis. There are a number of ways to do this.

• Adjustment is a method that involves the following actions of the hypnotist. He begins to do everything like a person who is immersed in a hypnotic state. Repeats all changes in poses, uses the same vocabulary, and also breathes in his rhythm. However, all this must happen in such a way that such copying is invisible. After the adjustment is completed, the hypnotist is able to control the interlocutor, his body movements and emotional state. Through gradual relaxation, a person slowly immerses himself in a state of trance.
• The anchoring technique consists of using objects, symbols, movements or word forms that trigger certain human reactions. An auditory, visual, and also a kinesthetic signal can act as an anchor in hypnosis. Their occurrence at the right moments in sessions makes it possible to direct people’s behavior along the required course.
• Breaks in patterns – overload of consciousness. It involves the hypnotist sending a large number of signals to a person in order to exceed the level of consciousness’s ability to process information. As a result, the interlocutor has problems perceiving signals, he feels confused and falls into a trance state.
• Immersion in trance naturally is a method using the creation of desired models of situations. The hypnotist describes in detail a certain place in which it is pleasant and comfortable to be. This could be a beach, ocean shore, forest clearing, etc. The interlocutor listens to the hypnotist and gradually relaxes, imagining himself in that place. This is how hypnosis achieves the onset of detachment, similar to entering a dreamy state.

Varieties:

• The directive type of hypnosis is used with the permission of the subject. As a rule, everything happens for the benefit of the people being hypnotized.
• Hidden - hypnosis with influence on masses of people. They are used in the media, including television, in various areas of business, as well as in politics.
• A psychotropogenic type is hypnosis, which involves the use of psychotropic or narcotic substances that affect the human psyche.

In addition, the hypnotic state can be classic and fast (instant). The first type involves conducting a session in a darkened room where relaxing sounds of music are heard. This promotes relaxation, turning off thought processes and immersion in hypnotic sleep.

Instant hypnotic effects are performed by professional hypnotists and do not require the creation of special conditions.

Learning hypnotization, how and where to start.

The main weapon of hypnosis specialists is their gaze. There are special training exercises for this.

Necessary:

• Master the skills of concentration and abstraction without running your eyes. You can practice in front of a mirror or with friends.
• Learn to convey thoughts using your gaze.

Skill training involves the following actions:

• The subject assumes a comfortable reclining position on the couch. The hypnotist is positioned at the head of the chair with the ability to look into his eyes.
• The room should have a calm atmosphere and complete silence.
• You need to be prepared for the subconscious resistance of the target. Therefore, training hypnosis sessions can last a long time.
• The first successes in hypnosis can be considered falling asleep, complete relaxation, or immersion in a state of detachment of the object of influence.

Then you can start training with special objects that help with hypnosis:

• Metal objects on thin ropes or threads can be used as pendulums. The monotonously moving pendulum, which the subject looks at, contributes to his rapid immersion in a hypnotic state.
• The circle, which is drawn on paper, is fixed in front of the subject. He should be looking straight into the center of the circle.

In hypnosis, unique signals are used to exit trance. During sessions, you can use finger clicks, clapping your hands, etc. for these purposes.

In each subsequent training session, you can include more complex tasks, gradually increasing your skills.

Instant hypnosis. How the power of suggestion works

We have always been proud of the Soviet education system. Against the backdrop of the current collapse and decline, this pride looks completely justified. And, nevertheless, behind the reputation of the “most reading” nation, a very painful and extremely important problem in its social and political consequences was somehow overlooked - the colossal gap in the educational level between the intellectual strata and the bulk of the population. Inherited from the semi-feudal past, this problem not only remained unresolved, but also worsened due to the increased quantity and complexity of knowledge. In Russia, the formation of a new social stratum of the intelligentsia, generated by the needs of the industrial era, began two to three hundred years later than in Western Europe. Having appeared in the era of Peter the Great’s reforms, so to speak, “by the Tsar’s command, by the highest desire,” the intelligentsia, in its origin, existence and sources of income, was closely connected with state power. Not numerous, this layer was of an apex nature, not having strong social, cultural and even ethnic roots in society itself. Throughout the 18th century, that is, for a whole century, the state of affairs in this area did not change significantly. On one side there is a small group of scientific and creative intelligentsia, which is tiny in number and mostly imported from Europe, on the other there is a huge mass of the “native” population, untouched by any education. The situation began to change only at the beginning of the 19th century. This was facilitated, firstly, by new geopolitical realities, which exacerbated the need for educated personnel on the part of the state, and on the other hand, such a government measure as compulsory education for noble children began to bear fruit. The number of educational institutions, including higher education, has increased sharply, and the level of education has increased significantly. As a result, a layer of professional national intelligentsia, albeit still small, has been formed in Russia. The consequences of this social shift, barely noticeable for society itself, were colossal. It was in the 19th century that Russian culture experienced an unprecedented rise in its history, becoming a cultural unit of world significance. However, the outstanding cultural achievements of that time somehow obscured from our consciousness the fact that in the time of Pushkin only 6% of the population was elementary literate (that is, able to read and write), and in the time of Tolstoy the average literacy level was only 21. 1% (among men - 29.3%, among women - 13.1%). At the same time, slightly more than one percent of the population had higher and secondary education [See: Balakina T.I. History of Russian culture. - M.: Publishing house. Center AZ, 1996. P.150].

How to learn hypnosis yourself at home

To become a skilled hypnotist and help yourself and people, you need to have the following qualities:

• Authoritative, fairly confident and monotonous speech that can influence the state of consciousness;
• Magnetic and direct gaze.

Actually, there are three main hypnosis techniques that can be used to obtain practical results:

1. A technique in which a mechanical effect is carried out, when a person is influenced through the use of various objects, they have sound, they can be felt by touch, and influenced through color;
2. Mental influence, which can be characterized by suggestion through words, is precisely in this case when monotonous speech will become relevant;
3. Methods of exerting influence through your own magnetism, for example, it should be used in cases where you need to rid yourself or a loved one of the effects of migraine.
