Hypnosis is an art and a science which can be used by anyone as a tool to resolve problems. It is not a black magic and there is nothing mysterious about it.Hypnosis works on our mind. The mind is divided into two broad categories - conscious mind and subconscious mind. We use conscious mind for thinking, reasoning and rationalization. The conscious mind forms a small part of the mind.By far the more dominating part of our mind is the subconscious mind. It has control on how we behave and think in real life. It controls our basic attitude, thinking pattern and the way we react to constant stimuli we receive all the time from outside world. It is also the repository of all life's memories and experience.Our success and failure are directly dependent upon the choices we make in our lives. And the choices we make are influenced by the subconscious mind. While making the choices the subconscious mind tries to re-live the past experience.

Stress, in the form of pressure, can be useful. It can focus the mind, improve motivation and, ultimately, lead to goal attainment. In this positive light it tends to be referred to as 'ustress'. But, excessive pressure over prolonged periods of time can lead to feelings of distress.Stress can be result from any number and combination of sources such as work demands, insecurities, change and uncertainties, long-term pain or ill-health, family expectations and financial concerns.No one person's cause is quite the same as the next. People interpret and react to things differently; what one person might consider an exciting challenge, another might find altogether overwhelming. Whether a person will react negatively or not to specific situations, people or events, depends largely upon their life experiences; what has happened to them in the past, how they have interpreted those events, and, most importantly of all, the nature of the emotions around the stored memories of those events.Too much stress experienced over prolonged periods of time can be damaging both physiologically and psychologically. Individual's body responses to stress (the fight and flight response) tend to vary, but typically people are left feeling physically tense, unable to sleep, out of control, feeling helpless, ... [more...]

When you do hypnosis, putting the subject in the right frame of mind is essential. The more you can put someone is the right frame of mind, the easier it is to hypnotize and influence them. Therefore, it is very important to know how to intensify a response, as that will make your job a lot easier.So the question is... how do you intensify people's responses in order to create the kind of states that are really worth setting a trigger to?Remember that the key to setting emotional triggers is that they have a pure clear state, and that the state is as strong and intense as possible. That way your trigger will actually set more quickly.The rule of thumb is that the more powerful the state is, the more easily you'll get to trigger it and re-trigger it later on again. It's also useful thing to have powerful states, because powerful states lead to powerful behaviors or powerful responses.Now, there are essentially four different techniques that you can use, together or separately, in order to intensify people's responses (I go into details of this in my course).The first thing you need to realize is that some people and in ... [more...]
