Nonverbal Hypnotic Inductions

Exercises in Nonverbal Hypnotic Approaches:

The keys to learning nonverbal approaches to hypnotic inductions are observation, patience, and learning one step at a time. One can begin learning the handshake induction by developing a habit of carefully observing a person's eyes, and face as you are shaking hands with them in a normal way.

The next stage might be to practice releasing the hand a bit slower than usual. Then learn how to definitely hesitate in releasing the hand, carefully watching the subject's face to "read" the nonverbal responses (e.g. confusion, expectancy) to your hesitation.

As your experience develops, even at this level you will begin to recognize who may be a good subject by the degree of receptivity to your hesitation. The subject who "stays with you" and allows you to set the pace of the handshake is evidently more sensitive and responsive than the person who rushes off.

The next step might be only to release the hand halfway, so the subject is momentarily confused. You can then practice letting go of the rest of the hand so gently that the subject does not recognize when the release took place, the hand remaining momentarily suspended in midair. You can sometimes heighten this effect by speaking very softly so the subject's attention is further divided in trying to attend to you.

The final stage is learning to add the directing touches as non-verbal stimuli for catalepsy (immobility), or movement (hand levitation).
