Starting Hypnosis
So, you want to try hypnosis...but you have no clue where to start.
You must begin to get in tune with your body. Everyone has a unique level of 'hypnotizability'.
For extremely hypnotizable people, thoughts immediately create actions. For instance, when you ask someome to imagine biting into a lemon, a BLUE may actually pucker her lips as if she's really tasting the sour juice of the lemon.
BLUES (somnambulists) are extremely hypnotizable. Blues respond immediately to hypnotic language. Blues can feel the effects of trance within seconds,
Now, GREENS, have to put in a little effort to experience the same effects as a blue. They can easily get themselves to focus, but thoughts don't immediately become actions, as they do for a BLUE.
YELLOWS have to put in even more focus. They will experience the more lighter forms of trance. This is the norm for most people.
For REDS, focusing is really a challenge. Performing hypnosis on a RED is very difficult.
To become efficient at hypnosis, you must determine your level of hypnotizability. Try the following experiment:
Spread out your arms parallel to the floor, your left hand tilted upwards, and your right hand, downwards.
"I'm going to ask you to imagine a heavy book perched on your left hand, and a bundle of balloons in your right hand. As you become aware of the rising and falling of your chest, you may notice the book becoming heavier and heavier. I wonder if you can feel the heaviness of the book. With each passing second, the book gets heavier and heavier. And you may notice your right arm is rising, higher and higher. I wonder if you can begin notice your arm rising. Which each second, your right arm is being pulled higher and higher towards the ceiling."
