Most articles I read about covert hypnosis are poorly constructed and not worth the time.  But Hendric Pasquale’s article is very well written and organized, and he obviously knows what he’s talking about.  Hendric shows how, by using hypnosis and nlp techniques like mirroring along with assumptive languaging and pacing and leading, a woman can attract a man to her and basically get him to do what she wants.  Here’s a sampling of the article:

“You’ve just met a great guy. But here’s the thing — there are many more pretty women all around you. You’re thinking you can’t compete. Or can you? What if you knew how to hypnotize men? What if you could put this guy under your “spell” and make all these other women disappear from his sight? The only thing is how do you learn how to hypnotize a man?

Well, I’m here to tell you it’s not difficult. Here are 4 techniques you can learn if you want to know how to hypnotize men –

1. “Prep” him

Start off by keeping eye contact just a few seconds longer than usual. Follow this up by matching or “mirroring” some of his gestures eg if he touches his chin, do the same. If he swings his leg towards you, follow. After some time, try changing your gesture and see if he follows you unconsciously. If he does, you have in effect connected with him at the unconscious level without him even realizing it. You are ready for your next step.”

Christine Woolfenden (DCH, DHP, reg GHR) has written a truly excellent article on Glossophobia (fear of public speaking) at ezinearticles.com.  Glossophobia affects an inordinate number of people.  But the good news is that it is highly treatable with hypnosis therapy.

“Phobias are common. But, glossophobia (the fear of public speaking) is the most prevalent of all, and is thought to affect as many as three out of every four people in Western societies.

As with most phobias, glossophobia tends to develop in response to past experiences, either due to a single traumatic event or through gradual conditioning / association. The fear is then compounded by both negative emotions attached to memories of the past and anticipation/expectation of future poor performance, failure and/or ridicule. The fear of speaking in public is maintained and further compounded by avoidance of public speaking or fixation on it.”

Hypnotherapy in Colorado

January 21, 2008

This article, “Hypnotherapy Schools in Colorado,” by Michael Bustamante talks about what is required to become a hypnotherapist in the state of Colorado. But it’s more than that, it also gives a general overview of what being a hypnotherapist is all about. One of the more informative articles on hypnotherapy over at ezinearticles.com.

If you live in Colorado or just have an interest in practicing hypnotherapy, Bustamante’s article is well worth the read. You can find it here.

If you live in the Sacramento area and are looking to quit smoking via hypnosis, Rabbi William Blank has a hypnosis practice in the area and specializes in helping people quit smoking. This isn’t a recommendation as much as a heads up. He offers a two session stop smoking program and claims to have a good degree of success with his program.

Besides being a rabbi, Bill (as he likes to be called), writes user guides for software products and has run marathons and competed in triathlons. He has twenty years experience as a hypnosis practitioner. He also has a website to promote his practice, and you can find it here.

The title for this article, “7 Killer Tips to Hypnotize Someone Instantly,” is a bit of a misnomer as there is only one actual hypnosis technique listed in the article in which you could instantly hypnotize someone. The first of Luke Cameron’s “Tips” talks about the handshake induction technique. This is a legitimate technique for instant induction. Most instant hypnosis techniques rely on catching the subject off-guard. The handshake induction is one such technique.

There really aren’t that many techniques that induce hypnosis instantly. One that you may have seen in an on-stage hypnosis show, entails a hypnotist walking behind an unsuspecting participant on-stage who is standing up and focused on some task the hypnotist has assigned–such as trying to unclasp their hands which the hypnotist directed them to clasp and then gave them the suggestion that no matter how hard they try to unclasp their hand, their hands become even tighter clasped together. And as they are focused on unsuccessfully trying to unclasp their hands, the hypnotist quite suddenly pulls them backwards from behind, says something like “sleep,” and then catches them before they hit the floor. This techniques causes the participant to lose their equilibrium suddenly which brings the participant’s subconscious mind to the forefront. The hypnotist will then use suggestions to further deepen the trance.

Do not try this at home. It requires a lot of practice for hypnotists to become proficient at this technique or the handshake technique (here, you suddenly pull hard on the subjects hand and arm as you’re shaking their hand). Both techniques are risky and should be used by professionals only.
