Can I Hypnotize My Mother To Stop Hassling Me?
This video is a direct response to a question sent to me here via the HWT site: “Can the Arm-Pull Induction (the instant induction) be tried on my mother, because she is always tensed about my results, the house and this that…” People often think hypnosis and NLP are some forms of direct ‘mind control’…
I’m Sorry I Cheated… Can Covert Hypnosis Fix the Damage?
So I got a message from a guy who had had an affair and was looking for my help regarding how he could use covert hypnosis to fix the damage. Interesting question… and one that highlights a problem with the whole covert hypnosis thing. Covert means ‘sneaking around and trying not to get caught’ –…
Influence – The Problem with Promising
The following is something I originally wrote following a coaching session for a client who is developing his own consultancy business. I initially posted it on my James Tripp website, but thought it might be good to share here as I know many HWT subscribers have a deep interest in the art of influence in…
Are You A Trance Guy Now, James?
Following last weeks post on Alpha States and Hypnosis, I had a few people suggesting that I might be beginning to ‘see the light’ in terms of recognising ‘trance’ as the basis of hypnosis. In the video I talked about Dr. Les Fehmi’s work on attention and how we use attention impacts us neurologically and…
Alpha States and Hypnosis
I recently had a question about alpha brain wave patterns and Hypnosis: “…perhaps you can talk about Alpha Brain Waves as it relates to hypnosis. For example, in facilitating change the Silva Method talks about the need to be in an Alpha Brain Wave level. Perhaps you can talk about your thoughts on how this relates…
Hypnosis and Money!
So you’re exploring hypnosis… maybe even developed some skills and ability! Wouldn’t it be cool to be able to make a little money from it? Or a LOT? Most people who learn hypnosis fail to capitalise upon their skills in terms of financial return… so how do you make money with hypnosis? Here are 3…
Hypnosis in Everyday Life
This video was supposed to go up before the self hypnosis video, but there was some problem with the sound so I had to re-record the front end (you’ll notice the edit if you look carefully). When you see a formal hypnosis session, you are watching something that relies upon principles of communication and cognition…
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…
Hypnosis ‘Induction’ Ritual – Classic Hand Drop
If you like this, please ‘like’ and share! I have here another video on hypnosis ‘induction’, this time looking at the classic Hand Drop. The Hand Drop is a popular rapid ‘induction’ that is quite simple in structure, but has some subtlety required in the handling in order for it to run smoothly. Here I…
Handshake ‘Induction’ – Bandler, Erickson and Elman Versions
The legendary ‘handshake interrupt’ induction… There seems to be much interest in this in the worlds of Hypnosis and NLP, but what many people don’t realise is that what is most often shown as Milton Erickson’s handshake interrupt, is actually NLP co-founder Richard Bandler’s version (Derren Brown often uses a variation on the Bandler version…
