Video 2 of Mike on the learning in Wolverhampton. Most people, especially those with the formal ‘relaxation is hypnosis’ background have the idea that hypnosis is all about sleep like states.
I prefer to work with people who are deeply hypnotised but to all intents and purposes are otherwise ‘awake’.
I do use relaxation but that’s just a feel good element of the hypnotic process, not the hypnosis itself.
You know one of my biggest frustrations is that everywhere you go on the internet in the hypnosis community everyone is requesting and teaching how to induce hypnosis. But what about un-zapping them? Which in my book is more important!
I call my termination procedure the ‘Wake up’ because it simply has more understanding for the simple subconscious for which ‘sleep’ is the easiest association with hypnosis.
The wake up is designed to give them a jolt of adrenaline, oxygenate them and give them what I call the hypnotic buzz! That means they become a bouncing excited energised walking advert for my beautiful art.
Actually for the subconscious mind hypnosis feels like sleep not because of relaxation, which the mind never does anyway, but because the bloody demanding and reasonable no fun adult mind shuts up and stops meoaning about everything allowing the subconscious to come out and play!
