The Hypnotist’s Voice
Many people believe that in order to be successful, a hypnotist should have a deep, resonating voice and speak in a rather dominating or affected way. This belief is often seemingly borne out by many of the commercially marketed recordings/videos of hypnosis sessions available.
In a similar manner we are also led to believe that the hypnotic experience will be further enhanced if it is accompanied by background music, echo-chambers or other sound effects.
However, although communication is obviously an important part of hypnosis, and the hypnotist’s voice must be clearly heard and understood, the most important thing is the actual words the hypnotist chooses to use. Content is far more important than manner.
A good hypnotist also uses a natural sounding voice, ie he does not try to speak in any particular way other than his normal voice. Any artificiality on the part of the hypnotist will become apparent to the subject and will undermine the communication between the two of them!
It should be noted however, that there is one other factor, the X- factor,which plays an important part in the success or otherwise of a hypnosis session.
This is the passion of the hypnotist. To establish credibility with his subject, the hypnotist has to come across as being passionate about his craft, shown by his enthusiasm and confident manner. If there's no passion then not much is likely to happen!
INSTANT HYPNOSIS IN 30 SECONDS
Note: This is a method that elsewhere is promoted as “BANNED", “UNDERGROUND” or “INSTANT” hypnosis and will cost you anything from $(large) up to $(mega) to get access to!!
I am providing you with the same basic information FREE.
Why?
Because I don’t think this should be represented as something unique or secret, when it’s NOT! (This method has been round for years!!)
BUT; It is different from usual hypnotism. It is a lot quicker than usual hypnotism.
HOWEVER, it is not as reliable in its results as usual hypnotism and it is not suitable for all subjects.
It is controversial, as it induces a negative trance (see FAQ) as opposed to the usual positive trance, and can have adverse effects on subjects of nervous disposition..
BUT, IT DOES WORK ON MOST PEOPLE!
OK. What’s involved? What do I have to do?
THIS IS THE BASIC METHOD:
Firstly, choose your subject carefully. Your ideal subject will be emotionally stable, have a good imagination and be keen to be hypnotized. It helps if you already have a good rapport with your chosen subject. Tell them you are going to hypnotize them, but they must listen and follow your instructions exactly.
Get your subject seated. As the hypnosis is rapid, this could cause problems if your subject was standing (- tell this to your subject, as this helps engender expectation.)
Stand close to them, and place your hands lightly on their shoulders.
Use a domineering and strong voice and tell your subject to stare into your eyes until you tell them otherwise. Tell them they are not to waver, they must stare intensely into your eyes at all times.
You will stare back, as sternly and as fixed as possible. But, the secret here is that you will not actually stare into their eyes, but stare at the bridge of their nose, or a spot in the middle of their forehead. This still gives the impression that you are staring very intensely into their eyes but makes the process a lot easier from your point of view!
When you notice that their eyelids are flickering, beginning to water or are fighting to stay open, do the following:
Suddenly, without warning, grip their shoulders firmly and, simultaneously, and in a loud and very authoritative voice, say, “SLEEP!”
If you have followed the method correctly and interpreted the eyelid signs correctly, their eyes will close and their head will slump forwards. You will now have a hypnotized subject – all within 30 seconds!

RULES OF THE MIND -(extended information)
The Rules of the Mind are essentially a collection of simple principles that control the operation of our minds. It doesn’t matter whether we are aware of them or not, they exist, and they dictate how we live our daily lives.
The first rule: Every thought has a corresponding physical reaction.
We tend to be oblivious to, or trivialize this rule. A thought is just a thought. Right?
No! Every thought does cause a physical reaction. As simple examples, when you have sad thoughts you feel a lump in your throat and your eyes well with tears. When you think angry thoughts your heart will beat faster and your face becomes flushed.
Sometimes you will be aware of the physical effects and sometimes you will not, but the effects are still taking place regardless. Even watching a TV program with violent or distressing imagery just before you head off to bed can affect you physically. It can lead to a restless sleep and you wonder why you feel tired and depressed in the morning.
We cannot afford to think that we can separate mind, body and emotions into individual entities – they are inextricably related all of the time, every minute of every day!
Rule 2: What we expect tends to happen.
This rule is very much in vogue at the moment. Our brain and nervous system respond only to mental images, no matter whether they arise from your internal or your external worlds and your subconscious cannot distinguish imagined visual images and associated emotions from actual experience.
However, just dreaming or imagining what you want in life is not enough. Just day-dreaming about the money or lifestyle you would like is not going to make it happen. It is when that imagery becomes so strong that you add action to it that it will happen. The creative use of your imagination is the important thing here.
Some people come to expect ill-health, as that can be used to attract sympathy and attention of others, punish or control others or simply to avoid responsibility. If they continually focus on thoughts of ill-health, guess what? They become ill.
Rule 3: Your imagination is always stronger than knowledge.
Rationality always takes second place to the imagination. Today I read in the paper of a prominent politician, who has always been an advocate of non-violence, punching a fellow politician. He immediately regretted the incident, of course, but it was a typical example of imagination taking precedence over rationality. Many crimes of passion are committed every day, many of these being caused by rage, instigated by the imagination.
Millionaires are created on the web all the time. How do they do it? They sell you a product. However, they don’t achieve this by necessarily gaining your trust or confidence in them or their product. They do it by exciting your imagination.
You can, of course, excite your imagination for your own benefit. In a self hypnosis trance you can give yourself any positive idea or thought to excite your imagination to the extent that you can then realize the goals and successes that you want.
Rule 4: You cannot hold opposing ideas at the same time.
There are plenty of people out there who certainly try and hold opposing ideas at the same time. There is the person who is an educator of children during the day and a child pornographer by night. There is the business person who sells you a product one day by telling you what a great product it is and what great service he will provide, and then the next day he doesn’t want to know when you return with what proved to be a faulty product. When such people compromise their principles like this the resulting internal conflict will inevitably cause mental, physical and emotional problems within themselves.
Rule 5: The longer an accepted idea remains in your mind, the harder it is to replace it.
We all resist change because of habit and fear. We will only change when we reach the correct point of readiness for change. How does this work?
First comes thought, followed by feeling, followed by action. Next comes the habit of thinking that thought in that situation and the habit of acting that way in that situation.
As an example, some people think that they need an alcoholic drink in order to be able to socialize with others. The more often such a person repeats the action of having a drink or two prior to socializing, the more rooted in his mind will the belief be that he has to have those drinks. If you begin to think that you are a worthless person and you start feeling that way and acting that way, then, as time goes by, you are essentially going to become such a person, because you firmly believe it to be true. To reverse the process can take time also, but through hypnosis it can be achieved.
Rule 6: An emotionally induced symptom tends to cause organic change if it persists.
An example of this rule is the person who has been promoted at work and is a little anxious about the extra responsibilities he has to take on. He comes home from work the first few days and his stomach is tight and drawn up so he has a few drinks to try and relax. A few days later he still has the same stomach problem so he visits his doctor. His doctor tells him he needs to relax more and gives him tranquilizers to help in the meantime. This helps for a while, but tensions at work still affect his stomach, causing it to knot up. As time goes by the problem seems to occur more frequently and more easily, until, eventually, on a further trip to the doctor, he is told he has a stomach ulcer.
A more positive example is the cancer sufferer who effects his own cure by surrounding himself continually with laughter, watching re-runs of slapstick movies. The same rule, different circumstances. An emotionally induced symptom tends to cause organic change if it persists!
Rule 7: Every suggestion acted upon causes less opposition when the suggestion is made again.
We’re talking habit formation here. Once a habit is formed, it becomes easier to follow and much more difficult to remove. How do habits develop?
We begin with a thought, idea or awareness and then comes the feeling, followed by the behaviour and then it becomes a pattern of behaviour. The more often we give in to it, the easier it becomes to give in to it! Each time your nervous system reacts in a certain way, it becomes easier for it to react that way next time. Regardless of whether you see a habit as being a good habit or bad habit, that’s how they begin. Self hypnosis can easily be used to change habit patterns.
Rule 8: The greater you make a conscious effort, the less your subconscious responds.
In other words, the harder you try, the less result you get! This can apply on both a mental level and a physical level. For example, I know from experience that the harder you try at playing golf, the worse the results! You have to relax and just let it happen. In many other situations the same thing applies, you have to basically step aside and allow yourself to respond independently of conscious effort. It is actually a simple thing to do, but for the many people who harbour various kinds of fearful response, it can be difficult.
If you are such a person, hypnosis and self hypnosis can be very helpful to you, maybe enabling you for the first time in your life to exercise control over you!
THE HIERARCHY OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THINGS
Dr William Bryan Jnr advanced the view that we all unconsciously follow a certain hierarchy of the importance of things. The deeper the level you go into the unconscious, the more important each thing becomes. Put more simply, this means that for every symptom we experience on a conscious level, there will be an underlying cause somewhere in the unconscious!
The hierarchy is : On the conscious level, we have everyday problems, then, moving on down through the unconscious, and strictly in order of importance, we have sex, food, water, air and finally, at the deepest level, spiritual survival.
The unconscious will sacrifice anything of lesser value, no matter how important it might seem on a conscious level! The hypnotherapist can make good use of this in hypnoanalysis as it will give him/her valuable clues as to where to look for the cause of a problem.
We unconsciously choose our own symptoms, on the basis of protecting the most important thing by sacrificing a lesser evil. If a person consciously sees his problem as being on one level then the underlying cause must be on some level below that in the hierarchy, the most likely one being immediately below the level where the problem seems to be.
For example, if a person consciously has a breathing problem, the cause will be found at the next lower level – the level of spiritual survival. If someone has a food problem of some kind, the cause will also be found at one of the deeper levels – water, air or spiritual survival.
Gives you food(?) for thought doesn’t it!
