The Magnetic Hands Hypnosis Induction is an example of how to turn the client's natural hypnosis ability into a hypnotic induction. The Magnetic Hands hypnosis induction uses the technique of linking going into trance to some physical movement.
The magnetic hands script is a standard induction that puts most people into trance very quickly. It is an old stage hypnosis trick and can be used to hypnotize a whole audience at once.
It can be used to find the highly hypnotizable people in a group. It works easily and smoothly for most people, but does not work with sceptical people. If this induction does not work, just tell them it was an experiment and you learned a lot from it. Do not suggest in way that they have failed. Then go on to do another induction such as the staircase induction.
MAGNETIC HANDS INDUCTION SCRIPT |
|||
| SET UP | |||
| The client can be standing or sitting. It will work with a whole room full of people, but this version of the Magnetic Hands induction is for hypnotizing just one person sitting in a chair. | |||
| I would like you to put your hands out like this. [Hold your arms up in front of you, straight out at shoulder height as if you are going to take hold of a baby.] | |||
| That's right, arms straight out, hands straight out, and with your thumbs pointing up.... that's good.... | |||
| Now, I want you to look at that gap between your hands. | |||
| Keep your eyes focussed on that gap. | Dissociation | ||
| Become aware of the energy in that gap... the energy that exists in that gap between your hands... | Supposition - energy is there | ||
| and now close your eyes and focus on feeling that energy... | Supposition | ||
| and I want you imagine that the energy is like two magnets.... as if you have a magnet on the palm of each hand... | V | ||
| [you can touch the palms of their hands, gently stroking or tapping on their palms, this will cause a heightened skin sensation that you can use for suggestion] | |||
| I wonder if you can feel that energy building up?... A powerful magnet on the palm of each hand | I | ||
| and as you focus on that energy... those magnets are getting stronger and stronger... those magnets are getting attracted to each other... | > | ||
| and those magnets are pulling hands in towards each other... | D | ||
| maybe slowly at first.. and them more and more powerfully.... | |||
| you cannot resist that power... those hands are moving closer together | Pace and Lead | ||
| closer and closer.... | |||
| the attraction is stronger and stronger now... hands moving closer.... | Pace and Lead | ||
| And when those hands touch... you will lose all strength in those arms.... | |||
| and your hands will sink down into lap.... and as that happens.... every muscle in your body.... goes loose and limp and soft ... and you can relax completely now.... | Pace and Lead | ||
| Feel your body relax as that power takes over and lets you relax with confidence.... warm and comfortable... totally relaxed... | Pace and Lead | ||
| That's right.... totally relaxed. | |||
| [either do a deepener, or a convincer and then carry on with the therapy] | |||
