Hypnosis Swirl PicWhen a suggestion is repeated again and again the belief eventually becomes a conviction. An effective hypnotist will use suggestions repeated numerous times in order to create a more solid influence.   During a hypnosis show, a stage hypnotist will use the word relax throughout the induction sometimes 60 or 70 times.  The hypnotist will often use words that are synonyms to continue the suggestions effectively.

An illustration of the use of synonyms is as follows: The deeper you breathe, the more relaxed you become, the more relaxed you become, the deeper you breathe.  One sentence actually has six references to relaxation all hidden with one sentence.  The one sentence says relax, deeper and relaxed twice all within one sentence.  

Another example would be the following:  Allow your body to drift down deeper within the chair as you feel your body relaxing down. Words like drift and down are excellent synonyms to the word relax.
