How do Hypnotists induce their Subjects?
There are several methods that are commonly used. Eye fixation involves gazing at a fixed point. Progressive relaxation includes imagery and guided meditation. Mental confusion methods are employed to bewilder overactive minds. Misdirection techniques involve linking ones imagination with suggestions. With the element of surprise one can shock the nervous system into a trancelike state. An individual, by losing equilibrium, can also be gently rocked into Hypnosis.
