You are asking yourself: Can I learn hypnosis without any training? We’ll tell you the possibilities!
Learning hypnosis: What are the possibilities?
- NLP Practitioner: NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming – in short, a collection of methods for influencing psychological processes in humans. Part of it is also the so-called hypnoanalysis. The NLP Practitioner is a ten-day training program.
- Hypnosis training: In a seminar or coaching you will be shown the basic techniques of hypnosis. You will learn what new states of consciousness look like and how to use them. A trained hypnotist leads the training and gives insights into what hypnosis therapy looks like.
- Lightning hypnosis: A lightning hypnosis is a quick hypnosis that you can use on another person. It is often performed at shows where participants are spontaneously called on stage. Basic requirement for success: The other person must also accept the suggestions and get involved. An important criterion for every form of hypnosis. You can find tips on how to perform lightning hypnosis on various hypnosis sites on the Internet.
4 requirements to learn hypnosis!
1. Internal adjustment
In order to learn hypnosis, you first have to be convinced of the effects of hypnosis yourself. At the same time, it is essential to give you the time and the will to learn.
Your intention to learn hypnosis is ideally a mixture of curiosity and helpfulness. Do not fall for charlatans who make you know that you can manipulate people with hypnosis!
2. Self-hypnosis as an introduction
There are various hypnosis techniques – suggestions and affirmations – which you can use just as well for yourself. On the internet you can find some speech patterns and affirmations which are available as examples.
In any case, do not use the command form, as this is not beneficial in hypnosis.
Avoid:
- “You’re gonna have to do this or that…”
- “You’re going to be relaxed, tired, open right now…”
Instead, try to speak to yourself or later to a test person in a soft and gentle tone.
The first step is to get a good feeling for the right tonality and formulation. You can also watch videos and instructions on the internet on how to reach a state of trance.
Possible hypnosis techniques
- Suggestive hypnosis: Improve the inner attitude with targeted speech patterns
- Age Progression: Looking positively into the future with Future Pacing (mental experience of the future in the now)
- Analytical hypnosis: Searching for causes for certain topics – here we speak even during hypnosis
Not every person logically reacts the same way to certain hypnotic techniques. Especially if you are primarily interested in self-hypnosis, you can simply try out what you react best to.
3. Hypnosis process
Hypnosis is often about recognizing unfulfilled longings and dealing with fears. Ask yourself what purpose you would like to pursue with your hypnosis and then see which hypnosis techniques suit best.
Especially at the beginning it is also important that you establish a basic structure for hypnosis.
- Welcome
- Introduction – Definition of the topic/problem
- Choice and description of the technique
- Put into hypnotic state (trance)
- Utilisation – Using and appreciating every attitude and feeling
- Mental experience of the desired state (Future Pacing)
- Wake up
4. Exchange in a group
If you really want to use and learn hypnosis on a regular basis, you can hardly avoid seminars and coaching. Alternatively and additionally it makes sense that you also look for NLP groups in your environment. Here you can strengthen each other’s techniques and exchange your experiences.
