Tony Gaschler - MODERN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES. Advanced Hypnosis and Self Hypnosis

Stand the TP in front of you and place both your hands on his/her shoulders, as shown in ill. 14. Then look the TP in the eyes and begin.

Ill. 14

Ill. 15

Say to the TP: “Look into my eyes. --- Imagine now that you are becoming sleepy --- completely sleepy --- more and more sleepy. --- Look deep into my eyes. --- You now feel how your arms are becoming heavy, ever heavier and heavier --- heavier and heavier --- and feel how your legs are now becoming heavy, ever heavier and heavier --- heavier and heavier --- and how the feeling of heaviness now comes over your whole body, as though snowflakes were falling down on you. --- Your whole body is becoming heavier and heavier --- heavier and heavier --- and now your eyelids are becoming heavy, completely heavy --- ever heavier and heavier. --- You are becoming more and more sleepy --- your eyelids are becoming as heavy as lead. --- You can hardly keep your eyes open --- I am now going to count to three. --- Your eyelids are becoming even heavier and you are becoming even sleepier --- when I reach the number THREE, your eyelids will be so heavy that they close --- you will be so sleepy that you fall asleep --- you fall deeply and soundly asleep --- one --- your whole body is heavy and your eyelids are as heavy as lead --- two --- you are so sleepy that you can hardly stay awake --- in a moment you are going to fall asleep --- deeply and soundly asleep --- THREE! You are asleep --- your eyes close --- you are deeply and soundly asleep! SLEEP! SLEEP DEEPLY AND SOUNDLY! COMPLETELY DEEPLY AND SOUNDLY!”

This method functions quite quickly if you have a normal TP. In order also to understand the theoretical process that takes place in hypnosis, we are now going to analyze this method.

In the above method of hypnosis the following occurs:

1.Through the words: “Look into my eyes …” , the hypnotist is placed at the TP’s center of attention. This causes the SELF of the TP to be forced very easily out of the center of consciousness, which allows the videes from the hypno-tist to take effect immediately.

2.The picture: “… that you are now becoming sleepy” , presents a videe that wants to achieve a goal and, as the SELF has already been somewhat weakened, will have the effect of weakening the SELF even further. (Note how the SELF is deactivated more and more in stages and how videes can be realized more and more as they become less weakened by the SELF.)

3.The suggestion: "becoming heavy” , which spreads to the arms, legs and ultimately the whole body by drawing attention to them, causes a physiological process, which changes the flow of blood to the brain. This is necessary to deactivate the SELF and will be explained in more detail soon.

4.When the TP feels heavy, the SELF has already become passive and every additional videe can be realized more easily, that is to say, can penetrate the ideomotor system and trigger actions.

5.When at the end of the hypnosis process the hypnotist says: “SLEEP!” , then the SELF is already incapable of producing even the weakest counter-videe, which would have to be: “I AM STAYING AWAKE!"

The hypnosis process must therefore deactivate the SELF step by step as far as possible, until the SELF is totally passive and the decisive videe: “SLEEP!” can enter the ideomotor system and place all the processes in the body and in the brain in a state of sleep. Then the SELF has been completely deactivated and made totally passive.

The determining hypnosis process in modern hypnosis methods consists of actually producing heaviness in the limbs through the videe of heaviness. This is achieved by the ideomotor system alone, which works in a fully task-oriented manner, making it possible to actually achieve this heaviness. That is to say, the ideomotor system causes the blood vessels in the limbs to relax and to expand. This causes more blood to enter the limbs and they really do become heavy. Thus the ideomotor system is so task-oriented in the way it works that, in response to the videe “HEAVIER” or “HEAVY” in the limbs, attention is directed to the limbs and an actual heaviness is produced. This is essentially the main factor that takes effect in modern methods of hypnosis. When more blood is present in the limbs due to their relaxation, then the brain has less blood available, and what happens if the brain has less blood available?

When the flow of blood to the brain lessens, even if only a little, then part of the brain automatically closes down. This is what we call the SELF CENTER and it is exactly what we need for hypnosis. The SELF CENTER must be deactivated so that the SELF can no longer function and can no longer produce any counter-videes. At the same time, all the other brain functions remain completely active, as does the ideomotor system. When carried out on healthy people, the flow of blood to the brain cannot be reduced to such an extent by suggestions of heaviness that centers other than the SELF CENTER are deactivated. This is why modern methods of hypnosis do not pose a risk for healthy people who have the normal amount of blood in their bodies. However, for those people who, either through injury or donating blood etc., have lost a certain amount of blood, no suggestions of heaviness should be made until the lost blood has been replaced.

To summarize: The heaviness videes will trigger the relaxation and widening of the blood vessels in the outer limbs through the ideomotor system, which automatically causes the SELF CENTER in the brain to deactivate. Thus the SELF can no longer use counter-videes to prevent or neutralize subsequent videes that are introduced. In essence, this is the whole secret of hypnosis.

Nature, itself, uses a similar process to that of modern methods of hypnosis, that of reducing blood in the SELF center in the human gender function.

Videes will trigger a stronger flow of blood to the genital area. The reduction of the amount of blood to the brain does not completely deactivate the SELF, as it is too slight for that, but rather deactivates only a part of the SELF center, namely the part responsible for reason and criticism.

When you understand this process, you can understand why so many people make their biggest mistakes in love. There is a general saying: “When love comes in the door, reason flies out the window!” Now you know why this is so. You now have the knowledge that lets you protect yourself from such videes (attractions), which could harm you in this respect.

Once you understand the processes that play a role in hypnosis, and especially those that play a decisive role, then you are in a position to start hypnotizing properly. It used to be the case that you could obtain some instructions and then have a try. Of course it was possible to have some success that was pure fluke, but no systematically achieved success. The people who can hypnotize properly are those who can follow the theory and who understand why some things are possible and why others are not. Even hypnotists who have had a lot of practice will have failures again and again if they have no knowledge of the theory. They can only carry out their experiments based on experience, as they have no fundamental, systematic and theoretical considerations to base them on.
