To use a metaphor or analogy that is better understood, Hypnosis deals with the conversation and the emotional processing of the content of the conversation when people talk to each other over a mobile phone. It is not about how the network works, or how the phones themselves work. And focusing on that takes away from the conversation.

a Hypnotic High

The thing is, the truth of the thing is, that hypnosis can indeed be used to experience the world entirely through the imagination without the interference of the logical factors in your brain telling you that you can’t be bouncing on a rubber moon or floating in a psychedelic sea of used five pound notes being served peeled grapes by nubile ladies wearing not a lot. Sorry got carried away there.

The most watched hypnosis video on YouTube is entitled “Amazing Hypnosis Makes You High”. And my Auto Self Suggestion audio that gets me the most happy ‘private’ mail is designed to heighten your sensual experience in a Tantric way.

Actually you stand a far better chance of getting a high by standing on your head and trying to gargle.

The technique used of watching a spiral spinning in a darkened room will make your visual cortex play tricks with your balance for a few seconds but you won’t experience an altered hallucinatory or enhanced reality. More than likely you’ll just feel a bit sick.

Obviously watching you tube is not going to do the job, no matter how brain numbing it may be, not even the most basic Psychonautics will get produced. However, with the personal experience of a hypnotist who understands and knows what they are doing, the situation is an entirely different paradigm.

Under the influence of hypnosis as it were, you can get almost the same result as even the more escapist substances and pastimes, with the added bonus of having the whole process reversed and made therapeutic at the end, again stressing that this should be done under the direction of a good hypnotist.

Hypnosis is something we all do and get done by all the time without knowing we are doing or being done. It’s basic process, the giving and accepting of suggestion, is also how we teach and learn.

Hypnosis isn’t just a Bandaid for the emotional scuffs and scrapes of life. It can also be a fantastic tool for getting to places in our head and experience of life that would normally be available only with the danger of assaulting the physical body.

If you want you can experience that holiday you could never afford, be in space before Branson and fly higher than any pill or powder could ever get you without frying your brains, emptying your wallet, or giving you a bad case of incarceration.

Mostly it’s legal to imagine whatever you want to and providing a hypnosis high is terminated proficiently it’s about as harmful as day dreaming. In fact the benefits could well be way above normal escapism as the whole thing can be experienced for a ‘reason’.

Of course just as Doctors frown upon the recreational use of medicines, clinical hypnotherapy will frown and head shockingly tut-tut at the idea of hypnosis being used for the sake of enjoyment, happily though they neither own nor have a legal backing to disallow people using the capacity of their own minds to experience and think whatever they want to.

Of course they will shout that people will become dependant and addicted to this mental intoxication. If they do they need to think things through because if you are a good enough hypnotee for me to get you high, then you are a good enough hypnotee for me to easily be able to stop you smoking, get you to lose weight, eradicate a phobia and especially to prevent you becoming addicted to your own imagination.

Although to be honest, you already are.

Hobby Hypnotists

Hypnosis as an art is now more than ever being done by Hobby Hypnotists who outweigh the professionals 4/1.

It’s amazing I now get many more fascinated curiosity driven people on my one day learning experiences and hypnosis masterclases than I do professional therapists or career driven people.

Personally I think that’s fantastic. Everyone should know the basics of hypnosis in the same way as everyone should know the basics of CPR and first aid.

If teachers were taught to understand how and when they are using suggestion not only would they know how best to install the necessary knowledge but they would better be able to positively influence the kids in their charge.

The same of course goes for parents.

If people knew the right way to suggest and had a basic grounding in the right suggestions then even in the most traumatic situations their desire to ‘help’ could become an actuality.

One of my students once was out walking with his baby daughter when he witnessed a car smash into a lamppost. He couldn’t get the badly injured and bleeding woman out but he could and did reduce her anxiety and bleeding by the direct use of suggestion and hypnosis.

Another couple of friends who had trained with me were hiking around the Grand Canyon when with the help of hypnotising each other and ‘increasing’ the input of their senses had an experience they’ll never forget.

Now don’t get me wrong. Amateur psychotherapy is not what I’m condoning here. But the use and study and experience of hypnosis as a hobby is fine. No more damaging to the business than hobby magicians, of which I am one, are detrimental to the magic circle which would probably die without them.
Kareeokay hasn’t killed the record business and one thing is for sure, hobby hypnotists will not only drag hypnosis kicking and screaming out of the maple lined couch garage but they will make people like me who teach technique and the art, much better and more widely targeted teachers.

Long live the Hobby Hypnotist.

“How do you ‘install’, when you and I are thousands of miles apart?” Miles

Intent.

The thing is that the live recorded class was conducted over the telephone and the INTENT was to install the concepts in the students minds.

Which on the second call Q&A you’ll hear Reg from New Zealand, say quite happily amazed that it was already being installed in his.

As NewZealand is just about as far away as you can get from my English Rviera home without getting very cold and being attacked by penguins… I KNOW I can install it because I have.

If however the question is one of technique then no worries, it’s in the course.

Basically it boils down to timed repetition and INTENT!

I was asked a question on my Ask-Jon Teleseminar last night about my Hypnotic Symbolism™ method. So I thought I’d show you rather than go through a long winded explanation.

This video was shot at a 1 day Original Hypnosis Introduction. I’d spoken to Kate for about 2 minutes that morning but not about working with her. She had never been hypnotised before and there was no ‘set up’ apart from a polite hello and her telling me what she wanted to do.

During the post hypnosis I compounded that she would feel ‘normal’ and suggested that it had been a very successful session.

It appears that in the middle I ‘woke’ her up which of course is wrong. She’s hypnotised the whole time until I ‘officially’ terminate the process. We tested her right away.

This technique has been used for loads of behaviour change and has been called the Silver Bullet approach. Using this, especially combined with SUD scale (Wolpe, 1969), I don’t have to even know what their presenting situation is, and they don’t have to know either.

This is the simplest of all the approaches I have developed.

Enjoy.

You can change your mind and live Happily Ever After. Use Dopamine and grease your mental wheels by enjoying yourself. Inspirational? I hope so, let me know, leave a comment.

The truth is that one is usually hard work and the other – well the other just happens.

Persuasion means using reasoned argument and supplying facts to create a change of thinking in the brain of the respondent, the person being persuaded. The persuader has to convince them that whatever it is they are selling or promoting is the right thing and they need to cajole and urge. Everything they do is pre-thought and done consciously and with deliberation. Which of course means you have to keep doing it because those persuaded to get what you have will soon lose interest if you stop ‘working’ on them.

Influence however is a completely different beast. People of real influence don’t have to ‘do’ anything. Influential people are just that. They don’t need to persuade because everything they are brings in people ready to accept their stuff and to ask to get more. True an influential person can steer those who are in their influence but this happens easily and without effort. Yes this often uses persuasive language and facts and such but it’s done from a position of acceptance rather than one of reticence so you only need to do it once.

The silly thing is that it’s way harder to become a persuader than an influencer. To persuade you need to get to as many people as possible and change their minds. To become influential you need to focus yours and wait for those who think like you to find you.

Video 2 of Mike on the learning in Wolverhampton. Most people, especially those with the formal ‘relaxation is hypnosis’ background have the idea that hypnosis is all about sleep like states.

I prefer to work with people who are deeply hypnotised but to all intents and purposes are otherwise ‘awake’.

I do use relaxation but that’s just a feel good element of the hypnotic process, not the hypnosis itself.

You know one of my biggest frustrations is that everywhere you go on the internet in the hypnosis community everyone is requesting and teaching how to induce hypnosis. But what about un-zapping them? Which in my book is more important!

I call my termination procedure the ‘Wake up’ because it simply has more understanding for the simple subconscious for which ‘sleep’ is the easiest association with hypnosis.

The wake up is designed to give them a jolt of adrenaline, oxygenate them and give them what I call the hypnotic buzz! That means they become a bouncing excited energised walking advert for my beautiful art.

Actually for the subconscious mind hypnosis feels like sleep not because of relaxation, which the mind never does anyway, but because the bloody demanding and reasonable no fun adult mind shuts up and stops meoaning about everything allowing the subconscious to come out and play!
