Hypnosis 101

I propose a workshop that teaches enough about hypnosis so that the following will have been achieved.

  • Hypnotise yourself
  • Become an operator
  • and have some fun!

If any slides are used, they will be attached here to this page.

I don't know if we will record it, but if people agree, that would be a great idea as I feel that it can be shared more widely.


Hypnotise yourelf

This segment will teach you techniques to place yourself into hypnosis, this is useful for many reasons including relaxation and focusing on specific tasks but enables you to take other people into hypnosis more effectively as you will know it intimately.


Become an operator

Learn how to show other people how to explore hypnosis, give directions and be able to watch for responses and understand that "all hypnosis is self hypnosis".


Have some fun

Hypnosis can be mind-blowing, it offers access to resources that really weren't normally there for most people. Being able to choose memories that you want to remember more clearly, change large pieces of your personality, explore generating feelings in the body like being drunk, experience absolutely anything you can dream up.


Ethics

Hypnosis is quite strange, in as much as, often times you will say things that just come out of nowhere yet mean nothing to you and profound to the client, I don't know why this happens some believe that there is a lot of non-verbal communication that takes place and you can more easily read eachother while in hypnosis. Now, anyone having mean ideas of using hypnosis for ill gain, understand that whatever you do it will not be forgotten and you cannot make people do things they don't want to do.

Hypnosis is built upon trust and the client will know your intentions before you do.


What next

I think in later workshops, learn how to do stage hypnosis and then lastly move onto therapy.
