The Lounge Chair, relaxing down.

The following is an illustration of a hypnotic induction:

Now imagine yourself sinking down into a deep and relaxed lounge chair. Feel yourself drifting down into the relaxed lounge chair as all of your limbs begin to feel like loose, limp rubber bands. Now, imagine yourself sinking down into a deep and relaxed lounge chair on the the beach and looking at the big, white puffy clouds. You will notice the clouds forming numbers. 10, 9, Drifting down deeper in the lounge chair, you allow your body to relax. 8, 7, Now feel your body relaxing down deep with the chair. 6, 5 the numbers drift you down into a more relaxed state. 4, 3 Allowing your body to relax. 2, 1 Now feel ten times more relaxed. You feel your body entering into a deep and relaxed state. Now that your body is in the lounge chair, allow your body to relax down even deeper.

This is an excellent example of using a lounge chair to focus an induction. One can always visualize the subjects sinking deeply into theor chairs while using this induction.

During a stage hypnosis event, the hypnotist can tell certain hypnotized members the following command: “YOU CAN HEAR MY VOICE, BUT YOU CANNOT SEE ME.”

He will then repeat the command to increase its effectiveness. “YOU CAN HEAR MY VOICE, BUT YOU CANNOT SEE ME.” The hypnotist can then pick up a chair and move the chair back and forth. The chair that was sitting directly in front of the hypnotized subjects is now moving back and forth. The few hypnotized members that the hypnotist chose will be amazed seeing the chair move. The hypnotized subjects will rub their eyes to make sure they are seeing the chair correctly, while they show genuine fear and disbelief! The hypnotized subjects think that the chair is moving by itself. The subjects do not see the hypnotist whatsoever. What is the answer to their amazing reaction? Is it the fact that they see the hypnotist, but tell themselves that they can’t? What would be another potential explanation for this?Is the reality of the subject being changed simply through the suggestions of the hypnotist?

The hypnotist will often have to say to the hypnotized subjects during the the command,” your butt is glued to the chair and the chair is glued to the ground.” The hypnotist makes this statement so that the hypnotized people do not run from the auditorium in a state of genuine fear in their reaction to the chair moving back and forth. The hypnotist will also choose subjects that he or she thinks are unlikely to experience a panic attack or overreact to the suggestion.

Why are the subjects unable to see the chair? The correct term for this is a negative hallucination. A negative hallucination can induce fear like in a movie or real life. Hypnosis can create genuine fear on stage, this tactic is also used in movies.

The Word SLEEP

After the hypnotist gets the subjects into a deep, relaxed State of sleep, the hypnotist can give the powerful command of

“SLEEP!” The command would sound like this: “Whenever I say the word sleep, your body will drift down into a deep, relaxed state no matter where you are or what you are doing.”

When this command is said, the hypnotized subject instantly slump down in his or her chair a completely relaxed state as if they fell asleep in the chair. This can be used very effectively on stage. The hypnotic subject can be moving around doing an act that the hypnotist suggested, and then the hypnotist can give the command, SLEEP. The person will instantly sink down deep into the chair.

The hypnotized person will look like he or she is completely out of it. His or her head will be slumped over with legs languidly relaxed and arms draped over in the chair. It is as if the subject instantly falls asleep. Just by saying the word, “SLEEP” the person will instantly drop down into a deep, state of hypnosis.
