Have you ever been to a show where the hypnotist makes people do incredibly embarrassing or shocking things? Ever wished you were in that powerful position? Well, you can learn how to hypnotize people with a few simple tricks.

The place to start learning how to hypnotize people is in the brain. The brain is divided into the conscious and the sub conscious. The user can control there conscious but may not have control of there sub conscious. If you could make their sub conscious take over, you could make them do things that consciously they would never do.

Once you have figured out how to hypnotize people into their sub conscious state, you can than use the magic of the number 17. 17 is a powerful number in the mind, it is used by advertisers on children’s stations. A child will see a commercial many, many times, and will tell their parents. Once a parent has been told 17 times the brains serotonin level decreases to a level that calls for either purchasing the product or getting mad.

Whatever the parent does, if you get the person you are hypnotizing serotonin level depleted, it will demand a response. Wisely use the 17 times because a person who is not 100% conscious and is angry could be a dangerous situation.

How to hypnotize people takes a lot of time and practice, although you can learn the basics quite fast. In fact, you can be up and hypnotizing within a matter of hours.

To hypnotize you first need to learn what works on you. To do this and learn how to hypnotize people you will have to learn how to self hypnotize. Once you have mastered self hypnotism keep practicing and soon you will know how to hypnotize people like the pros. Hypnosis is a fun and rewarding hobby – get started today!

The induction is the process that helps people go into a state of hypnosis, where they will be more susceptible to suggestion, and where their unconscious mind will take messages onboard. People choose to go into this state because they want to achieve a certain change or improvement in a specific part of their lives, usually.

How a hypnotist carries out an induction can vary greatly. Different techniques work well for different people. There can be hundreds or even thousand of induction scripts or approaches.

In therapeutic hypnosis, known as hypnotherapy, we generally use a technique we call progressive relaxation. This means helping the person to become progressively more and more relaxed until they eventually fall into the state of hypnosis. It’s a gradual process, helped along by suggestions of continued relaxation. I’ll ask them to close their eyes, of course, and then ask them to start to take some nice long deep breaths. This really helps to relax people.

One way that I find very effective in getting people to relax is to have them concentrate on different muscles, or different body parts. Obviously when you do this, you naturally become more relaxed. I like to start with their heads, face and neck muscles, and work my way down, along their entire body, focusing on one muscle or body part at a time, until they are completely relaxed, literally from head to toe. You could do it the other way around I suppose. I choose to work downward as it correlates with sinking deeper into total relaxation. We always refer to that process as going down, further down. So I just prefer to use the technique working downward.

The hypnosis induction technique that most people would be familiar with is obviously what they’ve seen in stage hypnosis. That’s a very different approach from therapeutic, hypnotherapy inductions. In stage hypnosis they use a very authoritarian approach, very direct induction. They have to. They need to keep a crowd of several hundred people entertained, which necessitates impact. Plus there is a visual impact achieved when a hypnotist executes an induction, a very sharp, direct induction, and the subject falls to the floor or otherwise gives some defining visual signal that he’s hypnotized.

The handshake induction is somewhat commonly recognized as well, but in reality, a stage hypnotist would not attempt this technique without first assuring himself that the subject is already hypnotized, or at least highly susceptible.

In hypnotherapy we have no need to make a visual impression on an audience. The same is true of self hypnosis recordings. In self hypnosis recordings a laid back approach is used, composed of many different elements, and is usually based on the theory of progressive relaxation. It is highly effective. Try it for yourself!

Take it from someone who has learnt how to stop smoking after 17 years; you have to make the decision to have your final smoke.

I wrote in a previous article about the necessity to get your mind right first when considering how to stop smoking. It is like anything in life, if you go at this uncommitted you will fail. It took me three months, maybe even longer to have my final smoke. When I first sat down and asked myself the ‘how do I stop smoking?’ question, I set in motion a thought process that led me to smoke free living.

Every single time I had a cigarette, I would be thinking about stopping. I would think about every single reason I should stop, no matter how trivial, and I would repeat each reason to myself over and over again. Think about someone you have seen have a cigarette for the first time. What happens? They cough and splutter violently, of course much to the amusement of those around them but the point is this is not a natural thing for the body to be doing.

I realized I had forced my mind and body into this filthy habit and I could get myself out of it too. Now, I am not talking about going at it cold turkey, what I am saying is the answer to ‘how do I stop smoking?’ is in the grey matter between your ears. If you use a quit smoking product, whether a patch, gum or pill, you are expecting the product to do the work for you. This is why many quit smoking products, even one like Final Smoke, fail people.

Pre-quitting before you have your final smoke

The key is not to make a big deal of it. Just set a date, sooner rather than later, and stick to this date. Avoid making it a Monday, if possible, as this is usually a bad day for everyone. The less significant you can make this date, the easier it may be.

Many people fail to quit because they use their irritability as a crutch and in a lot of cases they annoy the people around them so much that eventually someone might say something like, “I will go buy a pack for you if you just stop such a pain”. Let your friends and family know you are making a ‘do or die’ attempt to quit so they know how to help you to stop smoking.

There are no easy answers to the ‘how to stop smoking?’ question but knowing ahead of time what can be expected will help tremendously. Remember this, there are many other people around the world who have beaten this unnecessary addiction and gone on to live happier and healthier lives.

You can do it! And once you have achieved your goal to stop smoking you’ll be staggered at how incredible you will feel. You’ll be proud of your accomplishment and be an inspiration to other smokers who want to know how to quit for good.
