Hypnosis is not actually some mumbo jumbo but a way to get into the minds of people, learn about their belief systems and being able to change those belief systems for the good of all.

The most basic techniques of hypnosis is about getting people into a deeply relaxed state of mind so that the conscious mind gets out of the way and lets the psychiatrist or hypnotist to talk directly to the subconscious mind.

Hypnotizing someone is all about getting the person into very deep and relaxed states of mind.

Getting a person into a relaxed state of mind is important because it helps the hypnotist to talk to the subconscious directly.It is always the conscious mind which tries to control the person and doesnt let the person accept the positive suggestions or affirmations offered.

The different states of mind :

Nowadays, we get lots of special music designed to get your mind into deep states of relaxation and is very helpful to put a person to sleep, heal depression and even provide stress relief.

Whether you want to hypnotize someone or whether you want to undergo self hypnosis. It is now, a known fact that hypnosis is very beneficial to a person and helps him to shut down the negative thoughts that go on in a person's mind.

A person can be hypnotized and offered suggestions or positive affirmations which help them to achieve their goals or remove limiting beliefs or even cure addictions.

It is a nice way to change the belief structure of a person and allow him to release his/her full potential.

As I have said above, in order to hypnotize someone the hypnotist must be able to take the person into a deeply relaxed state of mind. They could use special music or certain brainwaves which automatically get the person to relax or they could even use progressive relaxation techniques. The person should be fully relaxed, the mind should be ready for suggestions and the body should be tension free.

It is advised to prepare your affirmations or suggestions before you start with the hypnosis process. You should also know the problems that the person wants to overcome and prepare the affirmations accordingly.

After you have made sure that the person is deeply relaxed , then start to give him the positive affirmations in a low voice with a stead tone.

After you are finished with offering your suggestions,then slowly bring him back to the beta or alpha state of mind slowly.You can do this by telling them that "When I count from 1 to 5, you will become fully alert and be feeling refreshed. With each count you will become more and more alert. feel more energetic and refreshed."

That's it ! You have successfully hypnotized a person. Congratulations!
