By George Hutton

If you would like to hypnotize somebody, then this article is for you. I'll give you some basic tips on how to get somebody into a deep hypnotic state where they will be ready to take commands directly into their subconscious. This is a very powerful, so it should only be used with care and a deep and honest respect for the well being of the person you are hypnotizing. This assumes you are doing what is called authoritative hypnosis, meaning that the person knows you are hypnotizing them, and is willing to go along.

A good thing to get before you start is something they'd like to accomplish while under hypnosis. Maybe a bad habit they'd like to stop, or to do good an upcoming test, or to simply enjoy twenty or thirty minutes of focused relaxation. Make sure to respect whatever they want to achieve, as it is important to them.

Have them sit or lay back comfortably in a chair or a couch. You don't need to use a watch or anything. What you will be doing is guiding there focused imagine, so just ask them straight away to close their eyes. Ask them to take several slow, deep breaths. And as they exhale each breath, ask them to feel more and more relaxed with each exhale.

Once they have become really relaxed and look like a bowl full of jelly, you can start guiding their attention. Get them to focus on each body part, starting with their head, and finishing on their feet, relaxing each part as they go.

When you finishing relaxing all their body parts, you can start giving them commands. Make sure your command are congruent with what they said they wanted to accomplish under hypnosis. "You stop smoking easily," or "You always do well on tests, " or "you are very smart," or whatever they want. Spend about fifteen minutes during this section. Speak slowly and softly.

After you've given them several commands, it's time to wake them up. Take your time, and move them slowly from being relaxed to up and awake. A slow count from one to five is usually a good way to do this. For fun, do this with a romantic partner and take turns hypnotizing each other. - 31856
