or linking it to better performance .
Now of course , some people will very readily experience these kinds of phenomena and some people not so much . People vary in their responsiveness . But using these ideas skilfully means you ’ ll be able to elicit hypnotic phenomena in many more people .
The main takeaways
To recap , the main principles of eliciting hypnotic phenomena to consider and remember are :
1 . Think in terms of people having a conscious and an unconscious mind , and know which part of the person you are talking to .
2 . Remember that the conscious mind deals in direct communications and the unconscious mind in patterns , implications , and metaphor .
3 . Use universal patterns to ‘ prime ’ the subconscious mind to respond hypnotically .
4 . Use dissociative language (“ that arm ” rather than “ your arm ”) to exclude the conscious mind from the process and deepen the conscious / unconscious split which is so central to hypnotic experiences of all kinds .
5 . There is no pressure or failure when you use language permissively .
6 . The potential of the human mind and body may be much greater than we can even imagine .
I am continually amazed at my hypnosis clients ’ capacity to produce physical and psychological responses they and I had no idea they could produce . Sometimes these responses can seem truly miraculous .
