Chapter 7 Are you suitable for hypnosis? - Hypnotic Sensitivity (2)
Because, in the process of hypnosis, you will be in an unconscious state. At this time, your conscious defense mechanism will be reduced to a very low level. You don't know what the hypnotist will do to you when you lose consciousness.Someone has done such an experiment, and Western women are more likely to be hypnotized than Eastern women.Because oriental women are more traditional, they are very afraid that the hypnotist will do something wrong to them when they lose consciousness.Western women don't have much scruples in this regard, so they are naturally easy to be hypnotized.

It is worth mentioning that people with split personality and schizophrenia cannot be hypnotized.Because they always distort or cannot understand the hypnotic instructions given by the hypnotist, that is, they cannot cooperate with the hypnotist.As long as you do not cooperate with a hypnotist, even Mesmer, the originator of hypnosis, will not succeed in hypnotizing you.

People who feel guilty about something are also very difficult to hypnotize.Because people with a sense of guilt will bury their sins deeply in their hearts, and they will be very vigilant against behaviors that will reveal their sins.They are afraid that after being hypnotized, they will confess these crimes in an unconscious state.Especially those who have committed crimes, they are more vigilant, and it is difficult for them to be hypnotized.

If you don't want to reveal some secrets to others, but just want to bury them deep in your heart, it is not easy to be hypnotized.Because the hypnotist will make your subconscious completely open, he can understand you more deeply, and he can also fully read out some secrets you want to hide.

So, how do we determine whether we are suitable for being hypnotized?It can be judged by the following small test.

1. Please find a spacious and suitable place at home.Generally speaking, the living room is more suitable.First, stand with your back against the wall, remembering not to lean your back against the wall, with your heels and toes together.Then the hands hang down naturally, the abdomen is slightly retracted, and the head is raised.Next, take three deep breaths to gradually calm your mind.

Then, keeping your body straight, slowly lean back until your shoulders touch the wall.Keep your body straight and return to the original position.Then fall back and repeat this action fifteen times.

Until you have determined that it is completely safe to fall backwards, at which point you remain upright with your stomach in, your head up and your eyes closed.Repeatedly silently in my heart: I must fall backwards!I must fall backwards!And at this time, you will really fall back without hesitation and involuntarily.

This is a typical experiment for testing hypnotic sensitivity.If the person being tested fails to succeed for the first time, under normal circumstances, after a few practice sessions, 50% of the people will feel backwards, and 20% of them will actually fall backwards.There are also very few people who can reach the state of falling backwards involuntarily when they practice for the first time.This shows that this person has a strong hypnotic sensitivity, not only easier to accept the hypnotist's hypnosis, but also easy to achieve the state of self-hypnosis.Moreover, such a person also has the potential to be a hypnotist.

2. "Arm Lift" tests imagination.This test is widely used and is one of the important methods to test people's sensitivity to hypnosis
First of all, you have to stand steadily, raise your hands flat to your chest, with the palm of your left hand facing up, the palm of your right hand facing left and thumbs up.Then imagine that your left hand is holding a big thick dictionary, and your left hand will feel heavier and heavier...

Imagine that your right thumb is tied with a big balloon, and this big balloon is floating upwards, gradually pulling your right hand up, your right hand will feel lighter and lighter, and your right hand will be lifted higher and higher.

Picture the above picture in your mind as much as you can.If your picture is not clear enough, you can also pretend that there is really a big balloon tied to your right thumb and floating upwards, and a big thick dictionary is pressed on your left hand.

Imagine that your left hand is getting heavier and sinking more and more; while your right hand is getting lighter and lighter, and it is raised higher and higher... After a period of time, you feel that there is an obvious gap between your hands, and you can stop.

Now, pause your movement and keep your hands in this position.Then open your eyes and see how far apart your hands are.

The farther the distance between your hands is, the better your hypnotic sensitivity is, and the easier it is for you to be hypnotized.

This test can be done with the help of another person, because the process of this test requires you to imagine with your eyes closed.It should be noted that during the test, if the subject's arm gradually rises and falls regularly, it means that his sensitivity is very good.If the subject's arms were raised and lowered too quickly, the subject may be faking.

3. "Close hands" test the ability to accept suggestions.This test needs to be completed under the guidance of a hypnotist.

First of all, please stretch your hands forward, palms open, and ten fingers interlaced and tightly held together.Stretch your hands forward as far as possible, as if pushing against a wall in front of you.

Clasp your fingers tightly, and now, start imagining your hands are glued together as if glued together.Your hands are glued tighter and tighter, and even your knuckles are clenched tighter and tighter.

Next, the hypnotist starts to count from 1 to 3, and the subject will try to open his hands under the guidance of the hypnotist.

If the subject tried to pull his hands apart, but found that he couldn't pull them apart, they seemed to be stuck together tightly with super glue.This shows that the testee has a strong ability to accept hints and is easily hypnotized.

Finally, the hypnotist asked the subject to stop trying, relax slowly, and try to separate his hands gradually.

4. "Apple Visualization" tests image visualization ability.This test needs to be completed under the guidance of a hypnotist.

The hypnotist first asks the subject to perform some relaxation preparations. After the subject enters a relaxed state, the hypnotist can then instruct the subject.

"Now, start imagining an apple in your head."

"Now, please look at the color and size of this apple. When you see it, please let me know."

This is a very short test, but the test information obtained is very valuable.

If the other party can clearly see the color of the apple and tell the size of the apple he saw, and the situation in his mind is stable and clear, it means that the testee's image imagination ability is very good.Then, such a person will be an easy target for hypnosis.In the process of hypnosis, the hypnotist will feel handy.

If the subject's answer is not so ideal, the hypnotist can also choose to give him some positive instructions to improve his ability to imagine the image.For example, the hypnotist can give him such instructions: "Every hypnosis will make it easier for you to enter the hypnotic state, and you will be able to see more and more clear pictures in your mind."

It doesn't matter much if the testee's image imagination ability is really bad.Although such people are not as easy to accept hypnosis as others, the hypnotist can improve the situation through the following measures.

The hypnotist only needs to stop using audio-visual cues as the main guiding language when inducing, and use the other party's more advantageous sensory system stimulation, such as hearing or touch.

5. The "sour lemon" test.It mainly tests the ability of the hypnotized person to concentrate, imagine and accept hints.This test needs to be completed under the guidance of a hypnotist.

The hypnotist first asks the subject to perform some relaxation preparations. After the subject enters a relaxed state, the hypnotist can then instruct the subject.

"Now, start to imagine that you put a sliced ​​lemon on your tongue. The lemon peel is very fresh emerald green, and the lemon pulp is white and transparent, very attractive. Now, imagine that this attractive The juice of the lemon is slowly dripping on your tongue, you can even smell the fragrance of the lemon..."

Under normal circumstances, when the hypnotist said this, most of the subjects would feel the secretion of saliva increased significantly.

At this time, the hypnotist should pay attention to the specific reaction of the testee while talking.Under normal circumstances, most people will have a greater reaction to the lemon test. When the hypnotist speaks here, the testee should have started to swallow his saliva.Some people even wink because the lemon is too sour, which is very funny.

In addition, the hypnotist needs to pay attention to that during the actual test, it was found that some northerners did not have much reaction.That's because some northerners have no actual life experience with lemons. They don't know what lemons taste like, and some people even think that lemons are yellow.

Therefore, this requires the hypnotist to change the guiding language when conducting this test.For example, northerners who have no impression of lemons can replace lemons with some sour foods such as hawthorn to arouse the salivation response of the test subjects, and the effect is the same.

6. "Body shaking" tests the ability to accept suggestions.This test needs to be completed under the guidance of a hypnotist.

This test method is generally preferred by hypnotists, especially when performing group hypnosis.

First of all, ask the subject to stand up and relax, and after a simple induction, you can start to instruct the subject.

"Now, look at your body and you will notice that your body is shaking slightly. Well, this is a very normal phenomenon, and that is because your body is shaking slightly in order to maintain balance. However, Wait a while when I count from 1 to 5, you will find that your body starts to shake back and forth obviously. Please observe carefully, it is only your body shaking, not controlled by your brain... ..."

“1、2、3、4、5！”

At this time, the hypnotist can observe that when the hypnotized person is shaking back and forth, many people will laugh and appreciate the way their body is shaking.At this time, the hypnotized person can clearly realize that he has been hypnotized, so an interesting hypnotic experience can start from this.

7. "White light visualization" tests image visualization ability.This test needs to be completed under the guidance of a hypnotist.

When the hypnotist guides the hypnotized person into a hypnotic state, he can instruct the hypnotized person to:
"Now, imagine a white light shooting down from the sky, passing through the top of your head, and pouring into your body."

"Now, start taking deep breaths. Slowly breathe in the air and let it out slowly. As you breathe deeply, imagine that you are breathing in all the oxygen in the air, filling your body with fresh energy. Then, when you exhale, imagine that you are expelling all the carbon dioxide in your body, allowing your body to completely eliminate fatigue and discomfort."

"Every time you inhale, you will see white light continuously descending from the sky, and then enter your body. Later, the white light slowly flows to the place where your body needs it most..."

At this time, the hypnotist can guide the hypnotized person to gradually return to a normal state.Then ask the hypnotized person if he feels the white light, what kind of feeling...

When performing this test, the hypnotist can also change the color of the light beam according to people's different reactions to the light beam, which does not necessarily have to be a white light beam.For example, if some people are more interested in pink or golden light beams, the hypnotist can change to "pink light visualization", "golden light visualization" and so on.

If the subject can pass this test, it means that his image visualization ability is very strong.

In actual hypnosis, "white light visualization" is generally used to improve the sense of energy of the subject.For example, the hypnotist can guide the hypnotized person to imagine this white light falling from the sky as a high-level energy from the sky.Under hypnosis, the hypnotized person can imagine this higher energy as being injected into his body.In this way, after the hypnotized person ends the hypnotic state, he will feel that he has a lot of energy.For those who have lost confidence, it has a certain therapeutic effect.

The mysterious crystal ball

After the hypnotist conducts the above several tests on the hypnotized person, he can roughly judge the hypnotized person's susceptibility and suggestibility.However, in the process of hypnosis, it is difficult for some people to enter a deep hypnotic state, which is very unfavorable to the solution of the psychological problems of the hypnotized person.
