The Perfect Hypnotist
The perfect hypnotist, that mythical figure, is able to hypnotise anybody, anytime, anywhere – but can we even get close? This post takes the form of a question (posed in the comments section of the about page on this blog) and an answer. Not the answer… but an answer. Here it goes… Hi James, As…
Physiology and the Game Frame
Hi Folks I have a quick video here explaining how adjusting your subject/clients position and posture is so much more powerful than simply building compliance. This little tip really is gold! httpv://youtu.be/16lYy4godZ0 P.S. I mention the Hypnosis Without Trance, Hypnosis Mastery Programme at the end of the video! Well, here’s an email I got today from…
Spaces, Places and Unconscious Knowledge
Did I ever say how I first got into hypnosis and NLP? Well, I would love to tell a tale of intrigue and excitement, but the truth is that I saw Derren Brown on the Jonathan Ross show in 2002 and he totally blew my mind. So I got straight on the internet and googled…
My Experience With HWT and Some Tips
This is an excellent and informative article written by Niy Mahmout about his experiences in applying Hypnosis Without Trance since attending the No-fail Protocol weekend and the Live in London workshops. Niy has really taken the stuff on and is applying it creatively, so although the article was written for the Hypnosis Without Trance Groupsite,…
Hypnotherapy Without Trance
Hi Y’all SOME NEW VIDEOS! (Below) These videos are not going to be for everyone, because they are about HWT as it applies to Hypnotherapy (I have decided to use the term “hypnotherapy” for convenience, although personally I don’t like the whole ‘therapy’ frame, and am more of a ‘changework’ guy). I have had a…
HWT – Pain Control!
I have had a lot of people write to me recently asking about therapeutic and changework applications for Hypnosis Without Trance, and have recorded a video on the subject which I will be releasing soon in 2 parts. One particularly interesting email came from a chap who had recently bought the Hypnosis Mastery Programme and…
Number Amnesia – Ideomotor Method
This clip was taken at the ‘No-Fail Protocol‘ workshop held in April 2010. It is a classic ‘Name Amnesia’ piece, but what is different here is that I am using ideomotor phenomena to set it up (ideomotoer to set up ideocognitive). The reason for this choice was that this volunteer had already shown great competence…
Quality of Response
New hypnotists are often concerned about whether or not they will ‘get’ the phenomenon that they are going for. So much so, in fact, that they often pay almost no attention to the quality of the responses they get – and it is the quality that carries the most useful information. Watch the vid! httpv://youtu.be/JZz2k_kdYWw
Invisibility Revisited
When I put the invisibility video up before, it received pretty ‘lukewarm’ reactions. At first this surprised me (because negative hallucination is such a strong phenomenon), but looking back it makes sense for 2 reasons: I had left off the suggestion sequence that sets up the phenomenon (things lose their impact outside of context). The…
Curiosity and Fascination as Tools for Hypnosis
What I have included here is a little snippet from the audios covering the concept of Curiosity Framing! This is something that I use a lot when hypnotising (so much so that I do it without thinking), and I think that it is a really valuable little tool for absorbing the subject in the process. Check out the audio clip and, as usual, I am happy to hear your comments on the blog.
