Great video. I have recently started learning hypnosis from Pardeep Aggarwal. He is just teaching hand techniques like hand struck. I actually want to be a master hypnotist. I am giving a lot of time to me and practice with my wife. I started the journey on 3.5.2021. I want to succeed in this arena. God bless.
Your explaination on how the minds were working really gave me a ton of help on focusing for myself. My brain likes to literally comb for any reason to feel like it hasnt worked or isnt working. Thank you for sharing this with everyone.
Thank you for this, Erick. It's a pleasure to see a professional share his expertise with the public so generously. A few questions: 1. I've usually seen the Elman-style "mental relaxation" done by counting backwards from 100, saying "Deeper asleep." Your version counts up from 1, with "deeper relaxed." I'm wondering why you prefer this version. 2. What do you do when a convincer fails--when the client succeeds in opening her eyes, say, or lowering her rigid arm? Or hasn't this ever happened in your experience? 3. A general question: Have you been hypnotized yourself? If so, what were the circumstances, and what was it like for you? And do you think it's important for hypnotists to experience hypnosis for themselves? Thanks again!
1. Counting backwards potentially gives analytical people a target (i.e. "zero"). The phrasing of "deeper..." doesn't even matter. Dave Elman himself just had subjects count without phrasing anything additional. 2. I wouldn't do a convincer unless I was very sure it was going to work. I've had plenty of feedback from the client that he's following along wonderfully with the process. 3. A hypnotist that claims they've never been hypnotized is like a dentist that's never had their teeth x-rayed and cleaned. I wouldn't want to work with a person like that.
Thank you for demoting your ego to share! How generous I see your amazing spirit! I too love helping others and feel learning this wonderful technique would benefit many. I would like very much to experience being hypnotized to help me better understand my higher self. Any suggestions in the New Orleans area?
Great Video, I am very very very new at wanting to learn how to hypnotize. I am trying to learn all the words and how to speak. There is so much to learn I have heard that being hypnotized can help with pain. Well my wife has a really terrible time with her neck hurting and I hate it for her. Could you possibly just give me a little advise on where to really start. Thanks for your time I really enjoyed your video because of how you took your time to explain thank you! I hope that this doesn't sound stupid plus I really think its amazing what you can do with a mind!.
Great video Eric. I loved the way you explained everything as you were doing it. I do have a question, what did you say to the client when you did the first hand drop? It was so sudden and quickly said that even with replay I couldn’t make it out.
Excellent material. One mention: on deepening phase, the other sources i consulted mentioned backwards counting and using the upwards one when we wake the client. Is there a difference?
This is what I want to see on some videos. I would like to see some real demonstrations of people for anger management, quitting smoking, losing weight, and perhaps using hypnosis to learn a foreign language and remember a lost object. I'd love to see those kinds of demonstrations because I am learning hypnosis alone at home because I'm poor and have no money for hypnosis training. I want to make a You Tube channel called Hacking Hypnosis for people who are poor to learn hypnosis and retool into a new industry so they can earn a income to get them out of poverty. Right now, I live in one of the worst neighborhoods in my city of Tacoma and it truly sucks being poor. I am so poor I can't generally afford hypnosis sessions for myself, but I know the benefits of hypnosis. Anything you can do to help is much appreciated.
Thank you for sharing this video. English is not my mother tongue, so I might not 100% understand each word you pronounce, though your accent and speaking speed are very comfortable to me, and I understand what you say this on this video. Could you please turn on automatic CC (subtitles) on your future videos? Thank you for your consideration if possible. :)
Great video. Thank you. Perhaps you could have made her forget her name, or get her feet stuck on the ground, or something like that, to convince her she had been hypnotized.
Hello, do you need to pretalk to your subject about explaining what "sleep" means if the subject has no idea about hypnosis is? If you don't explain to her, would she just fall into real sleep when you startle her after hand dropping? Thank you.
I don't find it necessary to explain that, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to let them know: When I say "sleep," it's just a shorthand phrase meaning to let yourself go into deep relaxation.
Can you expand on the answer? ... in your video you explain what hipnosis will or wont be,... then in the video it seems you just do it, and the person just follows along , we never see or hear you explaning it to her. So we are left to wonder if its necesarry or not, to explain the process before hand??
Getting her to speak so softly can lead to Aphasia ie unable to get the words out rather than achieving somnabulism. Your technique seems to be a mixture of Jerry kein and Cal Banyan. Otherwise a very good demonstration and explanation.
Hi Erick, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge freely. Question: What exactly do you do right in the beginning after the client presses down on your hand, you touch her forehead? Do you push her head to the front? I am doing past life regressions but some analytical clients do not respond to just a script where they start relaxing and visualising. Is the client in theta and will the client be able to answer questions? Thank you so much in advance!
The hand press induction works great with analytical clients. The Elman induction, here used as a deepener, is designed to move the client into somnambulism which is the ideal of trance for any kind of regression work.
You're making way too much out of something very simple. That's because YOU'RE analytical. You never PUSH their head, you barely touch the base of the skull and gently guide it forward. And past life regression should never be in the hands of an amateur. Past life regression is achieved by utilizing and understanding the third eye and cleansing of the astral body and how both of them are the passageway into a previous life. If you don't understand that then quit doing it. And all shock inductions, which I never recommend, work better after the client was previously hypnotized. It's better to gradually lead them into hypnosis by performing three techniques in a row. Magnetic fingers, magnetic palms, palm to forehead or otherwise called the handshake induction. Check out Anthony Jacquin.
No, the finger lifting in this case is just a nonverbal communication from the client. An ideomotor response would be a movement of the finger not initiated consciously.
ok. Ive been ripping the videos information apart and writing it all down. It's a little easier to do with subtitles. Thanks for gettting back to me. @@HypnotistErick
Its ok Im sitting here all day outllining the video with Google Docs and the Microsoft screen splitter because this is the basis for a hypnotist seeing his or her first client. Its a technique that is going to be used often. Maybe the other videos will have closed captions. @@HypnotistErick
Great vid! I've been hypnotizing friends using these techniques and having much success. But one friend seems to respond TOO well, because she goes quickly into trace and she gets very rigid! It's like she's almost in a frozen state. And here's the big problem: it seems she's so deep she doesn't respond well to suggestions. When I wake her, she is quite happy, almost euphoric...and she has ZERO memory of what happened in trance. So, it's pretty obvious she's been in trance...way into trance. But what would you suggest in this case to assist the suggestions taking hold in her subconscious? Has anyone else had experience with someone being deep in trance, but the suggestions don't take hold very well? Any suggestions?
If you have a passion for hypnosis, then your next step is to take a live training to expand your skills and flexibility when encountering unusual situations.
It's similar to a Mesmeric pass. My intention also is to "unzip" her energy field and lower any potential resistance. It's the opposite of "zipping up," which is a phrase used in Energy Psychology.
Very good video and awesome session. I only have 1 question...how does the quick pull and sleep command work to start the hypnosis. This is also done with a handshake and pulling the client into you. I have seen this by several professionals and can't believe how quick it works.
The confusion of the rapid pattern interrupt instantly drops the client into trance, and any processes that follow act as trance deepeners. Requires timing and confidence that comes from substantial practice.
@@HypnotistErick what are your tips for trance deepeners? I am trying to develop the hand drop technique and sometimes right after I execute it the person has dropped, but after not long they say that it hasnt worked. At that point I realize that I was just talking to myself when I was trying to deepen and then its just ruined. After that, I can't do it to that person again because the surprise isn't there. Tips?
@@budehaun272 Several trance deepeners were demonstrated in the video. Done correctly, you can use the same (hand drop) induction over and over again with same client. Additionally, you are probably lacking confidence, and that being picked up by your subject.
It has nothing to do with any techniques he taught. He says something unintelligible to place her in the trance which he has not explained and will remain hidden. Knowledge is power and you don't give your power away😉
hello professor . i am a student of high school .but i want to learn these techniques .can i just simply lean through these videos or i have to study them fist for long time as u did to learn them
I suppose I am a little too late and this was an awesome video for the further steps but I was wondering if there are any inductions which would be quick and make someone who doesn't want to be hypnosed to sleep (without alerting) because my mom hates the thought of it and she words about 10 hours per day + her sleep schedule is very bad I want her to sleep at least the night with a relaxing time. If so could you please help me. Thank you! (I know it's not that good of a question because it can be abused but I cannot get my mom that convicned to do it)
Hypnosis is a collaborative effort, so there's no point in trying to hypnotize someone with no interest in the process. Maybe she would be open to listening to a hypnosis audio program geared toward better sleep? There are many available. Here's my own: hypguru.com/self-hypnosis-audio-programs/insomnia-hypnosis-for-sleep/
So would i be able to learn this skill by watching yourself and others on video clips like this. Im sure it may help others who i coach in sporting activities
Hey, i've got few friends that i have mannaged to put into really nice and deep trance and theyve feelt excelent afterwards with good things happening to them throught the suggestions.. My mum wanted to experience it for herself too, and we came to the point where hers whole body was limp and relaxed, ive told her things like every time i say the word sleep youll go even deeper than before, your eyes will shut even harder than the time before.. And we come to the point i tell her to open her eyes and the moment i tell her to sleep( i do use snaping fingers) nothing happends she just wakes up from the trance.. Why is that?
Hypnotist Erick Kand The Fitbit reads your heart rate and your breathing when you workout and when you sleep.I read t a tweet on Twitter that a woman wrote about being hypnotized.Her Fitbit got her monitored her heart rate while under.She was so relaxed her heart rate was really low.
MrKirbbdogg Interesting point. I use an oxi-pulsimeter with my clients. Also is possible to use a Blood Pressure Monitor to lower or increase the reading during hypnosis.

When you're using the numbers test when she lifts her finger is this called an ideomotor response? I think it is just not certain.
No, the finger lifting in this case is just a nonverbal communication from the client. An ideomotor response would be a movement of the finger not initiated consciously.
I'll have to think about that. Doesn't register right now as being different.@@HypnotistErick

why did you touch her shoulder suddenly toward the beginning front and back saying 'sleep' very quickly? What is the point of the touch?
it adds to pattern interrupt shock value of the rapid induction.

how long is the trance state if you want to stop them from smoking? is it forever?

Do It I wasn’t there, so I don’t have any comments on your technique. Best to ask your Mum about her internal experience for feedback.
Hi Erik , just curious did you do formal training of hypnosis through Tad James Co. ? its just your script seems identical to what I recently learnt.
Ricky Martinez No, I never trained with Tad James.
Erick, what would the heart rate, of a client who is under, compare to awake, watching tv say?
My GUESS is about the same. Passively watching TV creates a trance state.
You should have let her keep the fit but on.You could have gotten some good readings off it while she was under.
I don't know anything about FitBits! I was concerned it might vibrate or do something distracting?
Hypnotist Erick Kand
The Fitbit reads your heart rate and your breathing when you workout and when you sleep.I read t a tweet on Twitter that a woman wrote about being hypnotized.Her Fitbit got her monitored her heart rate while under.She was so relaxed her heart rate was really low.
MrKirbbdogg Interesting point. I use an oxi-pulsimeter with my clients. Also is possible to use a Blood Pressure Monitor to lower or increase the reading during hypnosis.
