Hypnotherapy Inductions

What are the main hypnotic inductions used in hypnosis? There are different types of hypnosis inductions varying in approach length of time and tone.

Below I will explore the most important 6 inductions and their characteristics.

Here are the main hypnotic inductions:

1- Rapid Induction induces a trance state very quickly in about 3 to 7 minutes. It is mainly used in stage hypnosis shows and clinical hypnosis and has been popular in last 10 years.

Rapid induction consists of rapid, short, instructional commands and helps to put the subject into a trance state with fewer words rather than traditional induction techniques.

2- Instant Induction is new induction method which produces a trance state in seconds. It is especially useful for hypnosis shows. Unlike other induction methods it doesn’t make your audience feel boring during the show. Instant induction techniques are simple to master with a practice.

3- Fixation Induction is a traditional induction method. It draws subject’s attention to the fixation object such as pendulum, a dot on the wall etc. As concentration focuses on fixation object, subject’s attention is drawn away from external sights and sounds. Hypnotherapy Inductions

4- In Indirect Induction you don’t use any directives, instead you use analogies or metaphors. Indirect induction is used for subjects who resist any direct suggestions. When you use indirect induction, the subject doesn’t resist the suggestion, because he doesn’t know he is receiving it.

5- Muscle Relaxation Induction is another traditional method which relaxes every muscle in your body. Relaxation induction may begin from the top of the head and work down or begin with toes and work upwards. It is easy to learn and use relaxation induction while doing self-hypnosis or hypnotizing others.

6- Progressive Muscle Relaxation Induction is designed for those who find it difficult to relax. It takes more time than relaxation induction. It is widely used for people who need to relax specific areas of the body to relieve chronic tension on shoulders, legs etc.

There are also some other inductions like Dave Elman method, Arm-Drop method, Confusion method, Drop Object method and so on. But these are the main hypnotic inductions used in hypnosis, so be sure to follow them carefully. Hypnotherapy Inductions
