My name is Igor Ledochowski and in this training program I'd like to take you through something which I think is very important in any novice hypnosis career. You see I remember when I first started off in hypnosis, I'd go to a seminar or read something in a book, maybe watch a DVD, I'd be terrified going home to actually practice it. I had this huge amount of pressure but felt like what if it goes wrong? What if I do it and I get egg all over my face and I embarrass myself by failing? What I've learned of course in the years since then travelling around the world to meet many great hypnotists and developing myself as a hypnotist, is that all those concerns I had were really stuff I was creating by myself. I was putting myself in a situation where hypnosis stopped being easy, it stopped being fun, and a lot of fear and pressure resulted because of that. I would like to show you in this training program how to remove all of that fear, how to make hypnosis easy and fun again, and how to ensure that you can practice this naturally with pretty much anyone that you meet, how to entice them to become your subject, your volunteer, and how to do a great job with them when you're actually doing hypnotic sessions with them. What you’ll discover throughout this training program is that once you understand the principle of hypnosis, and rest assured we will go through them step-by-step, then expressing them hypnotically even in a more sort of conversational covert setting becomes very, very easy to do. Those are the things I want to take you through. So as a quick overview of the program that you'll be experiencing here, first of all we're going to go through the principles in hypnosis. Some like a crash course on what you're 4 How To Practice Hypnosis Without Fear ©Street Hypnosis All Rights Reserved How To Practice Hypnosis Without Fear – Transcript Manual trying to achieve with every session just so that when you have a real client there with you and you're starting to do your induction and so on you’ve got like a mental checklist and you realize that you don't want to move on from one point, until you've succeeded with the other. Once you've gone through that mental checklist for you, those principles in hypnosis, the next step will be to walk through a couple of different sessions that you can run. Now these sessions are very important. In these sessions I will teach you how to train a hypnotic subject so that they become very responsive to you. Now, we won’t be going to the whole crazy extreme into hallucinations and lots of stuff. We could do, but that's far too far advanced if you're having anxiety and fear even starting to practice right now. I will show you how to make sessions, and design your own session by the way, that they're really easy to do, they're simple, they're fun and have your volunteer sitting at the edge of their seat wanting more. That's exactly where you want them at the end of the process; they should want to volunteer or maybe even offer to pay you, to come back and do it again and again and again. There are many tricks on how to make this happen, and we’ll cover all of them throughout this program. The main thing I want you to think about as we begin these training sessions however, is and this is the holy grail shall we say, the cardinal rule that you’re going to burn inside your mind whilst you're doing this, and that is - hypnosis is easy, hypnosis is fun. If hypnosis is no longer easy for you, or it's no longer fun for you then you have done something, you've added something to the mix that you really don't need to be adding. By adding those things you will increase anxiety, you will increase fear, you will increase that sense of pressure, you don't know what you do or how you do it. When you remove those things it'll become easy again, it'll become fun again. So keep that in the back of your mind, it's easy and it's fun. If it's not easy and it's not fun, ask yourself questions like what have I added? What am I trying to achieve that isn't part of the program that we'll be showing you here, that’s adding that extra pressure. So with that thought in mind, whenever you're ready, tune into the next session where we'll start diving into the heart of hypnosis. 5 How To Practice Hypnosis Without Fear ©Street Hypnosis All Rights Reserved How To Practice Hypnosis Without Fear – Transcript Manual Introduction To Demo Igor: So welcome back guys. I am here with Reanus who's volunteered to come up. Now Reanus and I haven't really met before, we've had a two minute conversation as you walked in the door, is that right? Reanus: Yes. Igor: So the reason I have Reanus here again, a naive subject in that sense, is because I want to show you exactly what I might do if I was training someone, especially back in the early days where I didn't quite have the confidence to go straight in for a big, full blown induction. Now, I'm going to give you a quick demonstration of the kinds of things we'll be doing throughout this program and later on we'll revisit things and I’ll show you step-by-step how to do them and we'll breakdown how they happen and so on. Right now I just want you to have a sense of what the first session or the second session might actually look like. Now you may notice I've got a pen and a pad of paper or maybe one of those clipboards. Again I'll explain later on in this program why these are important. Right now it doesn't really matter what's written on here I don't actually need this. In fact I don't need any of this to do the practice. But this is going to be a very valuable prop that’s going to help change the dynamic to a certain degree, so that it takes pressure off you as the other person's critical factor actually diminishing further and further. And rest assured, we'll come onto that again, for now I just want you to observe that I have something to write, on like a clipboard or a block of paper, a clipboard looks even more official. I have a volunteer subject, and once again we'll show you how to get that in due course. And then you 6 How To Practice Hypnosis Without Fear ©Street Hypnosis All Rights Reserved How To Practice Hypnosis Without Fear – Transcript Manual can just dive in and go through a series of experiments to set the scene for a full blown hypnotic affect. So with that thought in mind let's get over here. Demo: No Fear Induction Igor: So how are you doing? Reanus: Fine thank you. Igor: Fantastic. The first thing I want to say is thank you for coming in and volunteering for this. Reanus: Thank you very much. Igor: Now what we're doing here is as you know I'm a hypnotist, however today we aren’t actually looking directly at hypnosis, we're doing a bit of a research program here to find out how the mind responds to different scenarios, different settings and so on. Does that make sense to you? Reanus: Absolutely. Igor: All right. So there's nothing huge expected of you, I just want you to relax, just kind of go with it and enjoy the process to see where your mind takes you. It's a much an exploration of yourself for you, and it shows me how different people react, respond and so on. Does that make sense? Reanus: Yeah. Igor: Okay. So I'll be taking some notes along the way, is that okay for you if I just take stuff? 7 How To Practice Hypnosis Without Fear ©Street Hypnosis All Rights Reserved How To Practice Hypnosis Without Fear – Transcript Manual Reanus: Yeah. Igor: It just allows me to keep track of where we're at, right? So the first thing I want you to do is, before we begin any of this, I want you to just collect a kind of mental image a little bit. So just close your eyes. Very good and when you're ready come on back. How was that? Reanus: Relaxing. Igor: That's easy to do right. Reanus: Yes. Igor: So this is not very taxing, right? Good. Now what I’m going to ask you to do this time, it's exactly the same thing, I mean I'm going to guide you through it of course. I'm going to ask you to close your eyes. That's right. And now start collecting all of your attention. Collect all of your attention in the here and now. Let thoughts of the past be in the past, let plans for the future remain in the future for now. You can come back to these things later, just collect all of your attention to the here and now, when you have a sense that you've achieved that, then come on back with your eyes open. Very good. Once again that's pretty easy, isn’t it? Right? So what did you experience whist that was happening? Reanus: I got relaxed there and the feeling was from my brain down to my body. So my hands got a little warm... Igor: Beautiful. Excellent. This is great you're doing a good job. So you found yourself relaxing a little bit more. Reanus: Yeah. 8 How To Practice Hypnosis Without Fear ©Street Hypnosis All Rights Reserved How To Practice Hypnosis Without Fear – Transcript Manual Igor: You found your body responding a little bit. Reanus: Yeah. Igor: So there's some sensations changing, beautiful we'll keep a note of that, and tell me about your actual mental experience. Do you find your mind becoming more sharp, more relaxing at the same time? Reanus: More concentrated to the center, yeah. Igor: So all your attention’s coming to the center but it's also kind of relaxed, you're not trying to force anything, is that right? Reanus: Right. Igor: Fantastic, thank you for this. So next cycle, and again go ahead and close your eyes, collect all your tension at the center. You'll notice it getting even sharper this time, a bit more refined, easier. And as you do that, notice how your breathing, is changing, and how that affects those sensations you had before, and are having right now. I want you to get a full sense of awareness of those changes in your breathing, your relaxed focus, your mind calming, and your body having sensations. Then reverse the process and bring yourself back, with your eyes open. Good stuff. You’re doing a great job, did you feel that? Isn't that pleasant? Reanus: Yeah this is great. Igor: Good man. So how was that different to the exercise you did a moment ago? Reanus: More or less, but I kept concentrating in the center of my head and my breath was coming automatically, subconsciously. 9 How To Practice Hypnosis Without Fear ©Street Hypnosis All Rights Reserved How To Practice Hypnosis Without Fear – Transcript Manual Igor: Exactly, your breath was coming automatically, it was unconscious, slowing down, and if I heard you correctly, there was an intensification, we were here before and you kind of went a little deeper and there was more of whatever there was that was happening. Beautiful, you’re doing a great job. Is there anything else that you experienced there that was interesting for you? Reanus: Nothing in particular, no. Igor: Good. Ready for the next exercise? Reanus: Absolutely. Igor: You'll love this one, if you like the ones you've done so far you’ll love this one. Ready for this? Close your eyes. That's right once again collect all of your attention, feel the sensations in the body, notice your breathing shifting, as you go deeper. There you go, that's it. And then find comfort or relaxation inside, where is your body feeling most comfortable, or relaxed. Reanus: Stomach. Igor: Your stomach right. So put all your attention on your stomach and feel what happens to that sensation, when your relaxed concentration goes there. When you're ready, bring yourself back again. Good job how was that? Reanus: Good. Igor: Interesting. Reanus: Yes. Igor: Do you notice the stepping down process going even deeper than before? Reanus: It feels like with your stomach or belly, it’s more or less quiet. 10 How To Practice Hypnosis Without Fear ©Street Hypnosis All Rights Reserved
