Hypnotism or more commonly known as hypnosis, is a mental state or set of attitudes usually caused by a procedure known as a hypnotic induction, which is composed of a series of preceding instructions and suggestions. Hypnotic suggestions may be delivered by a hypnotist to a person or a subject (experiment), or may be self suggested (auto suggestion). In this article I'm going to share with you one of the methods used by hypnotists so that you can get to know how to learn hypnotism.

5 Steps Guide: How To Learn Hypnotism

1. Use a smooth talking voice. This won't be your regular speaking voice but rather a tone you would use with a sleepy and tired child. The more relaxing and softer your voice, the faster you can hypnotize someone.

2. Have your subject take a deep breath, and slowly let it out. While she expels air, make her close her eyes. Then starting with the top of her body, talk to her silently so that you can bring her into a relaxed stage. For example, you can say, "Feel your shoulders. Relax your shoulders and feel them become heavier and heavier. They are loose. There is no tension in your shoulders."

3. Praise your subject in a comfortable voice at every step as this is the most important part. Hypnotism can be pretty scary for people who don't know what to expect next. Let your subject know everything is just fine and she's doing everything right and correct as it will help her to stay relaxed.

4. Continue with the first three steps until you know she is hypnotized. You might have to make her relax her body parts several times as most people may take about 10 minutes to enter a hypnotic state. Signs of hypnosis are: loose, droopy muscles; slightly twitching arms or legs; changes in breathing; or eyelids that flutter.

5. Make suggestions when she is hypnotized (hypnotic suggestions).The suggestions can be serious or humorous. In this stage, please be ethical to ask something from her or someone as that person will be in a "hypnotic trance" and easier to influence. When you are ready to release her from the hypnotic state, simply say, "When I count to three, you will open your eyes and feel refreshed and active. One, two, three."
