Learn hypnotism in three days

Chapter 9 Music and Six Steps - Hypnosis Process (1)
After entering deep hypnosis, under the suggestion of the hypnotist, the ability of the hypnotized person to recall the past is significantly enhanced.This is because during hypnosis, the hypnotized person will not have distracting thoughts and opposite ideas like when he is awake, and there are no various external stimuli to hinder his concentration, so the ability to recall past events is correspondingly improved a lot.Even many things that I have forgotten at ordinary times, in a state of deep hypnosis, I can remember them one by one after being induced by the hypnotist's suggestion.

[-]. Hypnosis Trilogy
Under normal circumstances, the state of hypnosis is mainly divided into three stages:

The first stage: a light hypnotic state, the main feature is motor domination.At this stage, the hypnotized person can quickly enter the state. Most people can enter the state within a few minutes, and some can even do it within 1 minute.

The trance phenomenon in our daily life is similar to a shallow hypnotic state.Under normal circumstances, the phenomenon of trance in children is more.When children are in a daze, if they are not disturbed by the outside world and allowed to develop, they will easily fall asleep.However, adults who have been in a daze for a certain period of time can usually wake up naturally even without other external stimuli.Therefore, children are more likely to accept hypnosis.There are two main reasons for the trance: one is suddenly attracted by something; the other is caused by free association or fantasy.

In the stage of shallow hypnosis, the hypnotist can control the muscle movement of the hypnotized person, that is, direct the hypnotized person to do some actions.For example, when people hypnotize animals, the animals are in the stage of shallow hypnosis, and the hypnotist can make the hypnotized animals perform some incredible movements.

At this stage, a "mind-reading" experiment can be done.This experiment is to put many items such as watches, erasers, pens, etc. on the table, and let two people who have entered a light hypnotic state participate in the experiment.Let subject 1 stand in front of the table and hold subject 2's hand tightly with one hand.When subject 2 wanted an item strongly, subject 1 would get that item quickly.The whole process was as if subject 1 understood the mind of subject 2.This kind of experiment is not difficult to succeed. After a few exercises, many people can do it.Sometimes it even reached the state where subject 2 was mentally unified and subject 1 was completely empty.

In fact, this is not mind reading.It’s just that in the light hypnosis state, the thought of subject 2 is expressed as a hand movement, and subject 1 who is holding his hand will feel it, and naturally he will know which item subject 2 wants.Especially after a few practice sessions, the two will reach a tacit understanding of conceptual movement.This is the function of suggestion, and it is also a manifestation of hypersensitivity in a hypnotic state.

What needs to be pointed out here is that there will be a "transitional state" during this period, and the hypnotized person will specifically manifest as saccades, tears, eye fatigue, increased blinking, and then hand and foot fatigue.The hypnotized person will also feel that his consciousness has begun to become blurred.

The second stage: moderate hypnotic state, the main feature is sensory domination.After the hypnotized person enters the first stage of hypnotic state, the hypnotist can guide them to a deeper hypnotic state.In the stage of moderate hypnosis, the hypnotized person will appear some specific physiological abnormalities.

At this stage, the hypnotist can clearly control the feelings of the hypnotized person through some suggestions.However, if the hypnotist does not impose any suggestion on the hypnotized person, the sensory organs of the hypnotized person will become dull.For example, when the skin on the back of his hand was pricked with a sharp object, his expression was almost painless, and his hand did not retract reflexively.This is the dulling of the sense organs without the suggestion of a hypnotist.On the contrary, if the hypnotist gives him some hints at this time, his sensory organs will play a role, and he will feel pain when the skin on the back of his hand is pricked with a sharp object.

Moderate hypnosis in the second stage is mainly manifested in the following three characteristics:

1. In the second stage, under normal circumstances, the sense of touch is dominated first, which causes the dullness of the sense of touch.Then it will gradually develop into taste, smell, and finally hearing and vision are dominated.However, there are times when things don't develop in this order.For example, some people may have hallucinations, but no abnormalities in the sense of touch.

An example of a tactile experiment is to let the hypnotized person close his eyes, and then give him the business card of someone he has not seen, and let him read the information on the business card by touching his hands. Most people can do it.Even touching a smooth business card can feel uneven.

An example of hyperacusis is asking the hypnotized person to listen to the sound of a mechanical watch.Under normal conditions, when people are 3 to 5 centimeters away from the watch, they cannot hear the sound of the mechanical watch.Under hypnosis, people can still hear the faint sound of the mechanical watch moving at a distance of 2 meters from the watch.

Examples of visual hypersensitivity include choosing four poker cards—hearts or diamonds. The hypnotist looks at the front and asks the hypnotized person to look at the reverse side, saying "this is a heart" or "this is a diamond".Then carefully draw out one by one, and still hand the cards upside down to him, and ask him to take out the hearts or squares, which he can usually guess right.Under normal sensory conditions, the subtle differences in the patterns on the reverse side of playing cards are imperceptible, but under hypnosis, people can fully see this subtle difference.

In fact, this is a phenomenon of hypersensitivity, which is caused by the concentration of all the attention of the hypnotized person on one point.

In contrast, hypnosis can also induce anesthesia in the hypnotized person.For example, a hypnotist can touch the hand of the hypnotized person while suggesting that his skin will not feel anything.Gradually, the sense of touch of the hypnotized person will become dull.At this time, if the hypnotist pinches him, he will not feel pain.

People are most prone to loss of touch and pain, not only in the skin, but also in mucous membranes.Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the swelling and pain in the throat of the hypnotized person through suggestion.This analgesic phenomenon is often used in surgery, dentistry, and childbirth.Especially for operations and childbirth, hypnosis can not only reduce people's painful feelings, but also eliminate people's uneasy emotions.

2. During the moderate hypnotic stage, it will also cause delusions and hallucinations in the hypnotized person.Hypnosis can cause illusions or hallucinations in sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch and other senses.Hallucinations are entirely the product of one's imagination; whereas delusions are a mixture of one's senses and imagination.

For example, the hypnotist said to the hypnotized person: "Now, you can see a beautiful scenery with mountains and clear waters. There is a big waterfall in front of you. You can see the water splashing and hear the deafening sound of running water." If If the hypnotized person can see mountains, water and waterfalls, it means that the hypnotized person has hallucinations.The illusion produced at this time seems to be a dream, but it is clearer than the dream.If the hypnotized person can also hear the deafening sound of the waterfall, it means that the hypnotized person has formed a compound hallucination.

If the hypnotist hints like this: "Now you are in the Antarctic, it is freezing, and your clothes are very thin. You are standing on the cold snow with bare feet." After a while, we will find that the hypnotized person behaves very Cold, shivering all over the body.The hypnotist continued to hint: "Now, the sun is out, and the ice and snow are beginning to melt. The sun is shining very warmly on your body, and you feel your body getting warmer." At this time, we will find that the hypnotized person The chills disappeared, and his face began to turn rosy.

If the hypnotist puts a coin on the arm of the hypnotized person and implies: "You have a red-hot coin on your arm, it is too hot to bear." The coin flung off, and there was a reddened burn on his arm.Some people even develop small blisters.

If the hypnotist suggests that the water drunk by the hypnotized person is wine or lemonade, the hypnotized person will blush and appear drunk, or have increased salivation.These are physical changes triggered by hallucinations or delusions.

Perceiving something that is not there is called a "positive hallucination"; on the contrary, feeling that something is not there is called a "negative hallucination" or "negative hallucination".This kind of negative hallucination is usually only induced in a deep hypnotic state, and under normal circumstances, children are more likely to have negative hallucinations.

3. Moderate hypnosis stage will also cause the personality change of the hypnotized person.Emotion and will are also governable.In the state of hypnosis, the hypnotized person has almost no spontaneous mental activity, but is in a passive mental state that is easy to accept the hypnotist's suggestion, so his own willpower will be significantly reduced.

The decline of volitional activity varies from person to person, and is closely related to the person's usual personality performance.For example, when some people watch some film and television works in daily life, it is easy to express their emotions along with the development of the plot; while some people are more calm.Of these two kinds of people, the former is more likely to have the will be dominated by the hypnotist in the state of hypnosis.

Many people may question this phenomenon.Because the formation of a person's personality is caused by many factors, mainly determined by heredity and growth environment.Therefore, it is almost impossible to hypnotically change a personality that has been formed over many years.As the saying goes, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change!True, hypnosis is not that magical, it cannot change a person's personality.What hypnosis achieves through the action of suggestion is only a transformation of a certain personality.For example, correct your aversion to food, quit smoking and drinking, and change emotions such as joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and shock.Deep-rooted emotions like tastes, hobbies, tempers, love, disgust, respect, contempt, etc., cannot be changed.Even under hypnosis, the hypnotist can suggestively change these deep-seated emotions, and the hypnotized person's emotions will immediately return to their original personality after he or she wakes up.

What needs to be pointed out here is that even if this change is only one or two components closely related to the disease of the hypnotized person, not everyone can do it.Even under hypnosis, it can be changed by suggestion, but most of them will return to their original personality characteristics after they wake up.If you want to continue to maintain the changed characteristics in the awake state, on the one hand, the hypnotist is required to suggest it many times to complete it; And then deeply analyze its reasons, in order to eliminate the root of the formation of bad personality.

The suggestive effect of hypnosis is also manifested in this state as being able to increase or decrease various desires.Suppressing sensations such as hunger and thirst to reduce the desire to eat and drink, or imposing cues that increase appetite to increase the desire to eat and drink are easy to achieve.At the same time, in its waking state, the effect can also continue to be maintained.Especially when the process of hypnosis is accompanied by emotional and other psychological factors, the effect will be more obvious.

There was a female middle school student who suddenly suffered from anorexia and was so skinny that her head looked like a skeleton, which was very scary.What's even more frightening is that she hasn't had a bowel movement for two months, and she hasn't had a period for nine months.Her parents took her to see a doctor everywhere, and the doctors also prescribed many prescriptions for treating anorexia, but the problem was that the girl ignored and listened to no one. Anyway, she just refused to eat more.Later, her parents heard that hypnosis could treat anorexia and decided to give it a try.

The hypnotist used the method of hypnotic induction to understand the cause of her anorexia.It turned out that the male classmate she had a crush on accidentally laughed at her for being too fat, and even called her a "fat pig".The girl was very sad and angry, so she started dieting to lose weight in a fit of anger.As long as she wants to eat, she will use that incident as a hint to herself.Gradually, whenever she saw food, she felt a feeling of disgust.

Now that the reason had been found, the hypnotist decided to suggest repeatedly during hypnosis to rekindle her desire for food.During the hypnosis, the hypnotist kept suggesting to the girl: "You are a very beautiful girl with a slim figure. You need to eat more now to make yourself more beautiful."

Through the analysis of the cause of anorexia and several hints to it, the effect was still significant after the girl woke up.The girl became less disgusted with food and gradually her appetite returned.Now, she has returned to her original appetite and has become a healthy and beautiful female college student.

The first and second stages of hypnosis are a gradual and complex process.The hypnotic state that appeared in the first stage can be said to exist almost completely in the second stage, but the hypnotic state in the second stage is a step further than the first stage.However, when some sensitive people receive hypnosis, they will experience slow perception and consciousness in the first stage.

Then, in the second stage, as long as the hypnotist gives a little hint, the hypnotized person may experience hypersensitivity and personality changes.Therefore, the first and second stages of hypnosis are a complex stage.What needs to be pointed out here is that the hypnotized person's delusions, hallucinations and analgesia can only be induced by the hypnotist when they really enter the second stage.

The third stage: deep hypnotic state, the main feature is memory domination.There are many people who, after entering the first two stages, cannot enter this stage again, and the retrieval of memory is greatly hindered.Xiao Ke mentioned above is a typical example, which is very detrimental to the solution of his psychological problems.

If the hypnotic state of the second stage continues to develop, it will enter a state of deep hypnosis.At this time, the first feature that appears is "suggesting a large-scale insensitivity".That is to say, the hypnotized person seems to have disappeared from reality, except for hearing the hypnotist's language hints, other feelings have completely disappeared.

In the second stage of hypnosis, although the hypnotist suggests, the hypnotized person will experience local loss of sensation, such as the disappearance of pain.This is to focus the consciousness on a certain aspect through the function of suggestion, making the already dull feeling even more dull.But this is only a partial loss of sensation, and it is impossible to cause a large-scale anesthesia at this stage.

If the first and second stages of hypnosis are a composite process, then the third stage of hypnosis is a single process.At this time, the hypnotist's hint to the hypnotized person is also very simple, generally: "You can't feel everything happening around you and your own existence now." After the hypnotized person receives this hint, immediately There will be a large-scale loss of sensation.However, such hints do not play a significant role in the second stage.

After entering deep hypnosis, under the suggestion of the hypnotist, the ability of the hypnotized person to recall the past is significantly enhanced.This is because during hypnosis, the hypnotized person will not have distracting thoughts and opposite ideas like when he is awake, and there are no various external stimuli to hinder his concentration, so the ability to recall past events is correspondingly improved a lot.Even many things that I have forgotten at ordinary times, in a state of deep hypnosis, I can remember them one by one after being induced by the hypnotist's suggestion.

In the memory extraction of deep hypnosis, another notable feature is "regression recall".That is to say, when the hypnotist hints the hypnotized person to perform memory retrieval, it gradually extends from the present to the childhood period, even the infant period.Freud once pointed out that if the problems encountered in early life (childhood or infancy) are not solved in time, they will have a great impact on the future development of this person.
