To start with, the person being hypnotised must be dressed comfortably and lying down in a pose that they feel best with. They should relax as much as possible before the process can begin.

The hypnotist should then help the person to calm by telling them to focus on relaxing their muscles and slowing their breathing down. This part takes some time and patience, especially if it the first time that the individual has undergone hypnotisation. Beforehand, you should agree on a sign that the individual should give you when they are feeling in a relaxed state. Avoid using words for signs at this point, as this could break the state of trance. A simple movement of a finger is ideal.

While focusing on breathing slowly, the patient should be able to maintain a relaxed state. The hypnotist should then, when the person is clearly ready, tell the individual to focus on something very specific while keeping every other thought out of their mind. While this does require an element of control on the part of he or she being hypnotised, the hypnotist can help by speaking gently and choosing their words with care. Hypnotism can be done for a number of reasons, and these should be thoroughly covered before starting.

Finally, the hypnotic trance should end by gradually bringing the person back to a normal level of awareness. This should be done gently and carefully so to minimize any shock factor.

For a long time people have been very curious and interested in hypnosis. Anyone can learn how to hypnotize someone. Initially you should make the environment ideal for hypnosis. Dim the lights enough that you can see but low enough to get the person in a relaxed state. Now follow these steps:

• Have the person sit in a chair. Avoid having them lie down, in fact prohibit it because there is a good chance they would go to sleep.
• Begin talking to the person in a soothing and clam voice.
• Next have them take some slow yet deep breaths. Continue to repear this to him or her up to the point where you feel they have attained an extremely relaxed condition.
• Next tell them to focus on various part of their body. Start at one end and work your way to the other. You want to say something like “Now relax your arms, let me relax until they feel light as a feather.Keep going until they are entirely relaxed.
• Next, ask the person to tell you about things that worry them. You want them to open up. Keep this process going for about 15 minutes. Your subject should be fully hypnotized.
• When re-awakening them from the hypnotized state, count from 10 to 1 slowly and then ask them to open their eyes when you snap your finger.

People will not do things that they are not usually capable of doing in normal circumstances when under hypnosis. As an example, you are not able to hypnotize anyone to perform a criminal activity such as murder if it isn’t something they would do in their normal state.
