Enfolding Opposites – Experimental Hypnosis Hand Stick!
If you like this, please ‘like’ and share! In the last blog post we discussed how Milton Erickson would work with ‘enfolding opposites’ in his transformative hypnosis work. In this short video I look at applying the same idea to the elicitation of classic hypnotic phenomena, with a focus of a hand stick as an…
De-hypnotising with The Tetralemma
If you like this, please ‘like’ and share! If you have been following my blogging and vlogging (both here at HWT and beyond) you’ll know I often speak of how our experience of reality is shaped from the inside out, how we live our lives through a series of hypnotic loops held in place by…
Wanting It Too Badly (Hypnosis, NLP, Influence)
*** If you like this video, please ‘like’ and share 🙂 *** Have you ever wanted something so badly that you got all bent out of shape and desperate about getting it… and anxious and fearful about failing to? An old mentor of mine (Steve Chandler) used to say ‘needy is creepy’… it was his…
Mesmerism Revisited… The Energy of Hypnosis!
*If you like this video, please do ‘like’ and share.* Look back to the origins of hypnosis and you will find Franz Anton Mesmer’s ‘Animal Magnetism’ (AKA ‘Mesmerism’) – an art that was all about the channeling and manipulation of mysterious ‘energies’.

The Aesthetics of Hypnosis

Hypnosis Success Rates – Are All Hypnotic Subjects Equal?
When people first begin to learn hypnosis and how to hypnotise one question that often comes up is “can everyone be hypnotised? Or are some people more hypnotisable than others?” (I guess that’s two questions really!) The answer is a little less clear cut than it might at first seem that it would be –…
Be The Hypnotist… or Be Your Self!
This is a follow up piece to the last blog post Is Fear Stopping You Developing as a Hypnotist? Many hypnosis trainers seem to be very keen to insist that their students ‘be The Hypnotist’. Whilst this can be a very powerful way to show up, for the beginner it can also often backfire and…
Is Fear Stopping You Developing as a Hypnotist?
“Hi James, I am a newbie in the world of hypnosis; but I bought your Hypnosis Mastery Programme, No Fail Protocol, Rapid Induction Rituals and Create Instant Change. Would you say that if I am to master the HWT that I will never need to go “back” to the old school typical inductions? Or will…
