Hypnosis Inductions
Here are written versions of hypnosis inductions - they should get you started. Nothing replaces instruction by a professional, however. If you'd like a more thorough and explicit understanding of inductions check out our home-study hypnosis course.
These induction are made much easier by a quality pre-induction talk. In order for most people to allow themselves to become hypnotized you must dispel the myths and misconceptions about hypnosis. In order for them to believe they were hypnotized they need to know what the experience of hypnosis might be like for them. That's what a good pre-talk will do for you.
