David’s Top Ten Hypnosis Inductions…!

The induction in medical hypnosis or in any other type of hypnotherapy is the process or ritual which involves the therapist working to achieve a progressive relaxation of the body and mind in order to reach a state of trance/hypnosis . This can incorporate various procedures which are used to facilitate the client’s detachment from the awareness of their surroundings. When you are undergoing hypnosis training , inductions are one of the major components of the many hypnosis techniques you learn to become  a competent  hypnotherapist. In fact, I found inductions to one of the most enjoyable parts of learning hypnosis when I doing  my clinical hypnosis training in London, they fascinated me immensely. One of the questions I have been asked is “Can you name ten different hypnosis inductions and which one is your favourite…?!

Well below are five methods of reliable and easy to use inductions of hypnosis:
