Instructions for The Hypnotist

Begin by having the subject hold their arms stretched out directly in front of them, so that the palms of the hands are facing each other. Have the hands about 6 inches apart.

Here is your complete rapid induction:

Spoken to Your Subject

You may now lower your hands back to your side. In just a moment, I am going to have you bring your hands back to this position and you will find it very easy to go into a deep pleasant level of hypnosis in just a matter of seconds. Would this be alright with you? (You must have the subjects consent before proceeding any further.)

Now close your eyes and take in a couple of deep easy breaths. Hold each breath for a moment and then exhale slowly.

In just a moment, I am going to have you extend your arms in front of you, just as you had them a moment ago. When I ask you to move your hands to this position I am then going to have you open your eyes and follow my simple instructions.

Remaining relaxed and at ease, I want you to extend your arms out in front of you just as you had them earlier.

(After subject extends their arms adjust the distance between the hands to about six inches. Hold your index finger at eye level and instruct subject to follow the movement of your finger. Slowly move your index finger between their hands.)

Now I want you to concentrate on my finger. In just a moment, I am going to move my finger away and I want you to begin to concentrate on the spot where my finger was.

(Quickly move your finger in a downward motion.)

You are doing good. Keep concentrating on the spot where my finger used to be.

I am going to begin to count from 3 down to 1. On the count of one allow your eyes to close.

Three, your eyes are feeling heavy and tired.

Two, they are beginning to water and tear slightly.

One, so heavy just allow them to close and relax.

Even with your eyes closed you can still imagine that spot between your hands.

I am now gently touching your hands and as I do notice that your hands are beginning to move together.

In just a moment your hands will touch. As they touch your entire body will feel loose and limp. You will be going into a very deep hypnotic state.The hands are moving closer and closer. The moment that they touch the whole body becomes lose and limp. You will be going into a very special kind of sleep. Almost there get ready to let go. The moment that they touch you go into a very deep special type of sleep.

(As the hands move together, have your hands in a position that will allow you to lightly slap the outside of the subjects hands, and thus pushing them together. You must be ready the moment that the subjects hands touch. At the exact moment when the subjects hands touch, rapidly and firmly slap the two hands together while giving the command to SLEEP. At the same moment lightly apply a downward motion to the subjects hands. This will cause the subject to bend at the waist. Allow the arms to dangle at the subjects side.)

This induction is very similar to the Gil Boyne version of hands closing together technique. The primary differences is the method by which trance is achieved once the hands are locked or touch.

Here is the second version of hands closing together technique.

Spoken to Your Subject

Extend both of your arms out in front of you like this. Stiffen your arms, lock your elbows; palms of your hands facing each other. Your thumbs up, your fingers held together. Now in a moment, I am going to bring my fingers in between your two hands. Until I do, I want you to look right here into my eyes. (move index finger to right eye) Keep looking at me. Just as soon as I bring my index finger in between your two hands, take your eyes from mine and fix them on my fingertips. Then I will move my finger; when I do, do not move your eyes. Keep looking straight ahead between your hands. (Move hand with extended index finger to between their hands) All right, now bring your eyes down here to my fingertips. Now I am going to move my finger, and when I do, do not move your eyes. Keep looking straight ahead between your hands. Then as I count from three down to one close your eyelids down. Now, the very moment that your eyelids close down (Grasp their hands and slowly push them together), your two hands begin drawing together. Just imagine there is a magnet on the palm of each hand which is drawing them in closer, closer, closing and moving in until your two hands touch. The moment your fingers, touch you will allow them to interlock and you’ll clasp your hands down tightly together. (Interlock their fingers and push hands together, wait three seconds) Now separate your hands. (Separate their hands) All right, when I count from three to one, close your eyelids down. (Position each of your hands under each of their hands with your index finger pointing outward)

(Begin sweeping your fingers in towards the center so that the last thing they see visually are your hands moving in toward each other) All right, three, two, one, close your eyelids down. Now they’re closing, closing, closing, closing, closing, closing, closing, closing and almost touching, closing and almost touching.

Picture the magnet in the palm of each hand. They are closing and moving in, closing and moving in. The moment your two hands touch, your hands lock down, sealed shut, fingers tightly interlocked together. They are closing, closing, closing, closing, closing and moving, moving in and closing, closing, closing and moving in, moving in and closing, until your two hands touch. The moment your two hands touch, your hands lock down, sealed shut, fingers tightly together. They’re closing and almost touching. Picture the magnets in the palm of each hand as they are closing, closing and moving in.

(If the hands get very close but do not touch, simply take your hands and push their hands together) The moment your two hands touch, your hands lock down and seal shut, fingers tightly together. All right, now they are closing, closing almost touching, closing, closing, closing and almost touching, closing and almost touching, closing and almost touching, now they are touching. Your hands are locking down, sealing shut, clasping down tighter and tighter together.

(Do not start this section until the fingers are interlocked) In a moment I’m going to count backwards from three to one. When I say the number one you will try to unclasp your hands. The moment that I do, you will find that the harder you try, the more your hands lock down, seal shut and clasp down tighter and tighter together. Number three, your hands are locking down, sealing shut, clasping tighter and tighter together. Number two, it feels as if your hands are carved from a single block of wood. On the next number,number one you’ll try to unclasp your hands, the more you try the more secure they become. Number ONE. Try to unclasp your hands, the more you try, the more secure they become, tighter and tighter together. (Wait three seconds) Stop trying to unclasp your hands, allow your hands to remain straight out in front of you.

In a moment I’m going to touch your hands, the moment I touch your hands they will easily and readily unlock. The moment I touch your hands you will relax every muscle in your body and become limp and loose as if you were made from a hand full of loose rubber bands. When I touch your hands relax and let go.

Additional Instructions

Pull their hands down into their lap and say, “Let your head come forward on your chest and continue going easily, pleasantly, fully into a wonderfully pleasant state of hypnotic relaxation.”

Should you encounter resistance, you may chose to add the following statements: “Just as a magnet get stronger, the closer your hands get, the stronger the pull” or “In a moment, I’m going to tap you on the forehead, the moment I do, the magnets become 10 time stronger, pulling you hands together”

(Tap subject on the forehead)

This induction is the Gil Boyne version of the “hands closing together. You can do this with the subject lying on their back with their arms extended upward toward the ceiling, or standing in front of them and having them extend their arms toward you. But the best position for this induction is to have your subject seated in a chair.

Stand in front of them, about six feet in distance, extend both of your arms out toward them. With the palms of your hands facing each other, your fingers held together, and your thumbs pointing upward, speak to them in this manner:

They are closing, closing, closing, closing, closing and moving, moving in and closing, closing, closing and moving in, moving in and closing, until your two hands touch. They’re closing and almost touching. Picture the magnets in the palm of each hand as they are closing, closing and moving in.

(If the hands get very close but do not touch, simply take your hands and push their hands together and say ‘SLEEP NOW’) The moment your two hands touch, a wave of relaxation will move all across your body. The moment you feel your two hands touch, every muscle and every nerve in your body will completely relax. All right, now they are closing, closing almost touching, closing, closing, closing and almost touching, closing and almost touching, closing and almost touching, now they are touching. Let your head come forward on your chest; let your arms drop limply into your lap; let every muscle and every nerve now grow loose and limp and relaxed and feel good all over now.

Additional Instructions

Pull their hands down into their lap and say, “Let your head come forward on your chest and continue going easily, pleasantly, fully into a wonderfully pleasant state of hypnotic relaxation.”

The following are several suggestions you may choose to use during this process should you see resistance on the part of the subject: “Just as a magnet get stronger, the closer your hands get, the stronger the pull” or “In a moment, I’m going to tap you on the forehead, the moment I do, the magnets become 10 time stronger, pulling you hands together” (Tap subject on the forehead)

Note: Do not confuse relaxation induction with progressive relaxation induction. They are very similar, but have some functional differences. You can learn the differences on hypnotic inductions page.

So, here are your 2 relaxation inductions.

Spoken to Your Subject

Turn loose now, relax. Let a good, pleasant feeling come all across your body. Let every muscle and every nerve grow so loose and so limp and so relaxed. Arms limp now, just like a rag doll. That’s good.

Now, send a pleasant wave of relaxation over your entire body, from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. Just let every muscle and nerve grow loose and limp and relaxed. You are feeling more relaxed with each easy breath that you take.

Droopy, drowsy and sleepy. So calm and so relaxed. You’re relaxing more with each easy beat of your heart . . . with each easy breath that you take . . . with each sound that you hear.

First Relaxation Induction Ends.

Spoken to Your Subject

Your arms are loose and limp, just like a rag doll. As I raise your hand, just let all of the weight hang limply in my fingers. An when I drop it, send a wave of relaxation all across your body. As you feel you hand touch your body, send that wave of relaxation from the top of your head all the way down to the very tips of your toes.

And as you do, you find that you double your previous level of relaxation.

Now, once again, with the other hand. (Repeat with other hand)

Instructions for Hypnotist

Ask your subject to raise an arm so that the hand is slightly above the head. There are some important aspects of this induction which you must know.

First, the arm is placed in such a position that fatigue will eventually bring it down. The downward movement is tied into going “down” into a “deep state of relaxation.” The harder the individual keeps fighting to hold it up, the more he is committed to the proposition implied by the statement that, “You will not go into a deep state of relaxation until the arm is all the way down.” This means, of course, that, “You will go into such a state when the arm comes all the way down.”

Also, don’t forget that pre talk in arm drop induction is very important. If you make good pre talk with your subject, you will get success in this process.

Here is your arm drop induction.

Spoken to Your Subject

(Have subject raise arm so that hand is slightly above head) Stare at one of the fingers, either the index or the middle finger. You may continue to look at it, or, if you wish, close your eyes and visualize it in your mind’s eye. As you fixate your gaze on it you will notice that the other fingers tend to fade out of focus and that your entire arm begins to feel heavier and heavier. The longer you concentrate on that finger the heavier and heavier your arm becomes. But you will not go into a deep state of relaxation until the arm has come all the way down. Keep concentrating on that finger while the arm gets heavier and heavier and heavier. (When downward movement become apparent) Notice that as the arm is getting heavier it is slowly coming down, down, down. But you will not relax into a deep and profound state of relaxation until the arm is all the way down. Going down, down, down, deeper, deeper, deeper. (Continue deepening comments: The suggestions must be timed with the actual movement of the arm)

Here is the complete bionic arm induction.

Spoken to Your Subject

Have you ever heard of a bionic arm? (Pause for response)

(if the child hasn’t heard about the million dollar man on TV, explain something about it, especially about his unusual, powerful arm)

I want to tell you something else about the million dollar man that most people don’t know, but you’d probably go around telling everyone else. (Pause for response)

(Usually you get the child going, and he/she promises to keep it a secret)

Would you really like to know something special about his arm? (Pause for response)

(Optional: If using music, start it at this point)

One day the million dollar man was sitting at home, listening to music on his radio, and all of a sudden he noticed something very unusual about his arm, (watch to see if his/her eyes move left or right. Then use the arm on the side towards which his/her eyes moved)

(Lift his/her arm) Yes, that’s it. It’s that arm. It started becoming very stiff, and soon became as stiff as a board, (stroke the arm and say) notice that it keeps becoming stiffer … As stiff as a board.

That’s a very special arm, as it keeps becoming stiffer your eyes close and you begin having a very pleasant dream, because that’s your dreaming arm.

You can hear the music playing as you are beginning to have a very pleasant dream … Watch the whole dream, and your arm will go down only as fast as you see the whole dream.

(Note: The Following Sections Are For Performing Therapy)

You can tell me all about the dream, and every time I lift your dreaming arm you can have another dream.

(Note: You can then use the dreaming arm to have the child dream about the cause of the problem and get any information needed to help overcome the problem)

Example: When I lift your dreaming arm, you will have a replay, a very clear dream of the entire experience that has been causing (Describe the problem)

Below, I give you sample and accurate stiff arm induction. You can test and apply it on your subjects.

Spoken to Your Subject

Raise and stiffen your arm. Make a fist (Help subject achieve this position, then let go). That’s good. Just like a steel bar, stiff and powerful. So stiff and rigid and so powerful that the more you try to lower or bend your arm, the stiffer and tighter it becomes. Try to lower or bend your arm and find it locking stiff; stiff and rigid. The harder you try, the stiffer it becomes.

That’s fine. When I touch your forehead, your arm drops limply down and you go deeper in sleep (Tap forehead).

So, here is your association induction:

Spoken to Your Subject

You can close your eyes now . . . And begin breathing deeply and slowly . . . Before you let go completely and go into a deep hypnotic state, just let yourself listen carefully to everything I say to you . . .

It’s going to happen automatically . . . So you don’t need to think about that now . . . And you will have no conscious control over what happens . . .

The muscles in and around your eyes will relax all by themselves as you continue breathing . . . Easily and freely . . .

Without thinking about it, you will soon enter a deep, peaceful, hypnotic trance, without any effort . . . There is nothing important for your conscious mind to do . . .

There is nothing really important except the activities of your subconscious mind . . . And that can be just as automatic dreaming . . . And you know how easily you can forget your dreams when you awaken . . .

You are responding very good. Without noticing it, you have already altered your rate of breathing . . . You are breathing much more easily and freely . . . And you are revealing signs that indicate you are beginning to drift into a hypnotic trance . . .

You can really enjoy relaxing more and more and your subconscious mind will listen to each word I say . . . And it keeps becoming less important for you to consciously listen to my voice . . .

Your subconscious mind can hear even if I whisper . . .

You are continuing to drift into a more detached state as you examine privately in your own mind . . . Secrets, feelings, sensations and behavior you didn’t know you had . . . At the same time, letting go completely . . . Your own mind is solving that problem . . . At your own pace . . . Just as rapidly as it feels you are ready . . .

You continue becoming more relaxed and comfortable as you sit there with your eyes closed . . .

As you experience that deepening comfort you don’t have to move, or talk, or let anything bother you . . .

Your own inner mind can respond automatically to everything I tell you . . . and you will be pleasantly surprised with your continuous progress . . .

You are getting much closer to a deep hypnotic trance . . . And you are beginning to realize that you don’t care whether or not you are going into a deep trance . . .

Being in this peaceful state enables you to experience the comfort of the hypnotic trance . . .

Being hypnotized is always a very enjoyable, a very pleasant, calm, peaceful, completely relaxing experience . . .

It seems natural . . . to include hypnosis in your future . . .

Every time I hypnotize you it keeps becoming more enjoyable and you continue experiencing more benefits . . . So you will really enjoy having me hypnotize you . . .

You will always enjoy the sensations . . . Of comfort . . . Of peacefulness . . . Of calmness . . . And all the other sensations that come automatically from this wonderful experience . . .

You will be really happy that you decided to have me hypnotize you . . . as you continue experiencing progressive understanding on your part . . .

You are learning something about yourself . . . You are developing your own techniques of therapy . . . Without knowing you are developing them . . . You can have it as a surprise sooner or later . . . a very pleasant surprise . . .

Imagine yourself in a place you like very much . . . By a lake, or by the ocean . . . Perhaps you are floating gently on a sailboat on a peaceful lake . . . On a warm, summer day . . . You are continuing to relax even more now . . . And you continue becoming more comfortable . . .

This is your own world that you like very much . . .

You are going to find that any time you want to spend a few minutes by yourself, relaxing and feeling very comfortable and serene, you can automatically go back to this feeling you’re experiencing now . . .

You can put yourself into this world anytime you like . . . There are times when you will want this serene feeling . . . And it is yours whenever you want it . . .

Continue enjoying this pleasant experience as your subconscious mind is receiving everything I tell you . . . And you will be pleased the way you automatically respond to everything I say.
