Fixation Method of Trance Induction (Hypnosis)
Fixation Method of Trance
Have you ever wondered why a hypnotist will have you stare at an object?
The reason is simple, it causes what is known as “fixation”. When you fixate on
something, your concentration focuses on that object. There are many different objects
which you can focus on.
Many of the most popular are candle flames, small flashlight or light bulb, or the ever famous
pocket watch or pendulum. Even in many ancient cultures, many of the rituals designed to bring on
a trance will start with staring into a flame or fire.
The way the fixation method was discovered was by Dr. James Braid, a proponent of Hypnosis in
the early stages of it’s development. Dr. Braid, noticed one of his patients becoming transfixed
by a lamp in his office. He noted this brought an altered state to the patient.
The patients eyes started to glaze over and his breathing became much deeper. From this, Dr. Braid decided to try this with other patients to see if the same types of altered states would occur. Once he got the patient to this altered state, he could then use suggestions to influence them in
whatever healing process he was attempting with them.
Anytime you fix your vision on a particular object, you begin to enter a trance like state. Every time you drive a car or watch TV this occurs. This powerful concept can allow you to influence people in the most unique ways.
Now, how about a unique exercise where you can see how this fixation method works and works almost too well?
To get someone into a trance like state quickly:
1. Get your subject to fixate on a spot on the ceiling above them
2. Notice that when their eyes are looking upward they begin to become tired or fatigued,
causing the eyes to want to close.
3. As the eyes begin to close the subject begins to feel the beginning of the hypnotic trance
4. Once the eyes are closed, take your subject into a different stimulus such as a thought or memory or even something as simple as them recognizing their own breathing.
This is just one simple way to induce a trance, and as a matter of fact is excellent for Self-Hypnosis as well. Just follow the formula and then add in your auto-suggestions to influence your subconscious to do whatever you desire. Try this on yourself and others and you will be amazed at the results you will get.
