Having Powers Vs. Being Powerful
A lot of people want to learn Hypnosis because they perceive that having the ‘powers of a hypnotist‘ would somehow better their lives in some way (either directly or via helping others in their own lives). Well, that certainly is true… potentially! But there is also a hidden paradox that can keep you from realising your potential both as a…
Transforming Time – Becoming a Powerful Hypnotist!

Handshake ‘Induction’ – Bandler, Erickson and Elman Versions

Anyone who has seen Derren Brown perform will have some familiarity (although they may…

VIDEO BELOW – Creative Daydreaming, Hypnotic Phenomena and Content Free-Changework Coming Soon: CREATING INSTANT CHANGE! Changework. Hypnotic Changework.

Hypnotic ‘Induction’ and Spatial Anchoring – The Bubble Induction Video
OK, so you all know that I am no great believer in ‘trance’ as a basis for hypnosis, but I have gone ahead and called this the ‘Bubble Induction’ anyway 🙂 just for the sheer convenience of having a label for the process. This is by no means the most flashy piece of hypnosis, but…
