NLP Hypnosis: The Benefits

By Joel Chue

Apart from being used to change behavioral patterns for the treatment of certain problems of patients, hypnosis has also been used for entertainment. When used in this form, it is called a hypnosis show. The effects of the trance in a hypnosis show only lasts as long as the performance is. There are no permanent effects.

The hypnotist while performing in front of an large audience need to choose his subject matter wisely. The choices he makes regarding his volunteer have to be picked with care. Normally, the hypnotist has to pick out volunteers to put under a trance and once under a trance, he can plant any suggestions into the mind of that particular person.

As in all hypnosis cases, total coordination and cooperation from the volunteer is required in order for the hypnotist to be able to put the volunteer under a trance successfully. For him to selected suitable volunteers, the hypnotist uses a process call induction. During this process, the hypnotist, tell the audiences to close their eyes and listen to his command. By doing so, he will be able to see who is cooperative or not.

Those people who resistant to the hypnotist commands will be alert within the audiences. Based on this observations, these people will not be selected as volunteers. Only those who represent the willing participants will be selected as volunteers.

The whole show actually begins from the moment when the hypnotist calls on the volunteers to come onto the stage. To create more hype and competition among the volunteers, the hypnotist uses a simple technique. What he does is place a few chairs less on the stage than the number of participants to make scramble for the seats. Those who are most willing volunteers will be rushing for the seats.

The hypnotist then commands the volunteers to perform in various ways and they obey all his command as if they arte in a state of sleep. The hypnotist can make them believe that they are drunk. He can make them believe that they are aliens from another world and can thus only speak a strange language. The volunteers actually start speaking a strange language hearing this command. The volunteers come out pf the trance as soon as the performance is over, they do not stay in the same state of mind after the show and behave absolutely normally.
