How To Tell When Someone Is Hypnotised! 
41
 Track 6 3:24 
Welcome back again. Now that you can use the secret language of hypnosis I would like 
to address an important point which is, “How can you tell when someone is going into 
hypnosis?”  
It was all well and good in the first CD when we were talking about more obvious 
hypnosis because just by doing the ritual, running through the process, it's pretty likely 
that you'll get the results, especially if you're suggesting things like their eyes will close, 
and so on. If you see it happening, it’s working. If it isn’t happening, it's not working. It’s 
very easy to tell with regular hypnosis. 
With covert hypnosis, because you're not officially telling them to close their eyes, you're 
not officially telling them to have certain experiences, it's a little bit harder to tell when 
they're going into hypnosis. Here are some simple little things you can look out for in 
order to tell that their state is changing. The general rule of thumb is basically talk to 
them for a little while and then notice however their mannerisms are, how they are 
breathing, and how they are looking; skin color and that sort of thing.  
Special Hint: Observe All Changes 
As you begin to shift into your covert hypnosis, simply notice if there are any changes in 
the things that you’ve observed from the beginning. If there are changes it means you’ve 
affected them in some way. That’s going to usually be a good thing. Of course, you want 
to make sure that you're affecting them in a pleasant way.  
1st Sign Of Trance: Relaxation 
The kinds of things that tend to happen when people go into trance, especially when they 
are relaxation-based hypnosis, are things you might notice like their muscles start to 
relax. Their facial features start smoothing out and it becomes plainer.  
2nd Sign Of Trance: Lack Of Movement 
You will also probably notice that they move around less. There is less motion involved. 
People tend to inhibit their motions or their movements when they go into hypnosis. It is 
as true of big movements, like hands moving around and pointing and bouncing and that 
sort of stuff, as it is of little movements.  
3rd Sign Of Trance: Eyes Fixate On A Point 
Typically the eyes, for example, will begin to fix in a point in space and look at it. They 
might look at you fixedly and not look away. They might look at the floor or the ceiling

42
 or some other person. Their eyes will tend to glaze over slightly and get a sort of fixed 
look or expression.  
4th Sign Of Trance: Changes In Breathing 
Another good giveaway is their breathing. Typically their breathing becomes more deep 
and more even for people under hypnosis. Sometimes, of course, it becomes shallower 
and faster. The key thing is, “Is their breathing shifting significantly?”  
5th Sign Of Trance: Changes In Skin Colour 
The final trance signal to look out for is the changing of skin color. Typically, when 
people go into hypnosis their coloration will change because blood flows differently. 
Sometimes they will begin to blush more. They will get a more red tone to their skin. 
Sometimes it will be the opposite. They’ll get a bit more pale or waxy as blood flows 
away from the skin, particularly as it's diverted away from the face.  
Summary Of The 5 Key Signs Of Trance 
The key signals, not the whole list but the key ones to look out for, are: 
1. Are they getting physically more relaxed?  
2. Are their movements becoming more inhibited, smaller, slower and lesser, 
especially the eyes?  
3. Are their eyes getting a little bit glassy?  
4. Is their breath shifting, typically lower and deeper but sometimes faster and 
shallower?  
5. Do you find their skin color changing? Is it changing and becoming deeper, 
darker, maybe redder; or is it turning paler and more waxy? 
All of these are great signs that they're going into hypnosis. 
The Secret To Having A Hypnotic Voice 
Track 7 8:42 
I would like to address another key feature of hypnosis in general, but that is particularly 
important in covert hypnosis, and that’s the idea of hypnotic tonality. The words that you 
speak are very powerful, but they're not the only part of your influence.  
Your tonality creates this wonderful, rich environment which gives the words more 
meaning. You can say, “I love you,” in a sarcastic way, which means people understand 
you don’t mean it; and you can say it in a way that you genuinely mean it. There is a 
whole range between. The entire range is based on your tonality; how you're saying it, 
what pitch, what voice, what rhythm, what speed, at what point you say things.

43
 Be Expressive 
The same is true for all of your suggestions. Tonality is one of the true secrets of 
hypnosis masters and it's surprising how many people don’t use it well, particularly in the 
old school of hypnosis. Many people talk about having a monotone, where you just 
hypnotize people by speaking like this.  
Really, to be honest with you, that’s kind of like a boredom trance. It can work, but you 
get so much more out of using your tonality with elegance and with deep expression. 
Using expressive suggestions is a very powerful way of getting directly to the 
unconscious mind because your tonality, the way you express yourself, gives it a whole 
coloration, an emotional undertone.  
Stimulate Emotions 
Emotions are the seat of the unconscious mind.  When you squeeze the meaning out of 
your words, when you really make them mean the things you want them to mean just by 
making them sound more important, by stretching them out or shortening them down, at 
that point it reaches an emotional undertone which the unconscious mind responds to 
really powerfully.  
Think of it this way. When you have a small child that’s frightened, you don’t just use 
logical words to reason with them. You use a certain tone. Sometimes you take all the 
words away and you just go, “Shush now. It’s all okay now. Shush. It's fine. Just relax. 
It's fine.”  
The kind of tone you would use to calm down a frightened animal or a frightened child is 
perfect for hypnosis because it creates the perfect atmosphere, the ambience in which 
hypnosis can take place. It kind of seduces people into it, because people want that 
experience to become stronger inside them.  
The 2 Key Hypnotic Tonalities 
We all love the idea of safety and security, of comfort and relaxation. These are 
wonderful things throughout our life, so we are going to use these tonalities in order to 
kind of wash all of our suggestions and make them that much more appealing because of 
it.  
Change Your Tone To Match Your Suggestion 
Of course, you'll want your tonality to match whatever you're saying. If you want to get 
someone excited, there is no point talking about excitement…like…this… 
Why?  
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
44
 Because it's not very exciting. Excitement is a different tonality. You get animated and 
you allow it to happen inside you, and of course your language changes.  
Similarly, if you want someone to relax you don’t help someone start relaxing in this kind 
of tonality, because it's not a very relaxing tonality. You need to change your tonality and 
allow yourself to just create a seductive and a wonderful tonality in which people just 
want to relax. It's like an armchair that people can rest in. Your voice creates that 
experience.  
The secret of hypnotic voices is to make your tonality match the experience that you're 
talking about. When it's exciting and motivating you pick up the pace. When it's calm and 
relaxing you slow down the pace.  
Develop Your “Hypnotic Voice” 
As a general rule, you want to create a hypnotic voice which you can use for different 
kinds of trances. The best kind of hypnotic voice to use, just because it's most useful for 
most situations, is one which is slower, lower, and with more power. By more power I 
don’t mean commanding in a sense of telling people what to do, but more power in a 
sense of there is meaning attached. It seems like it's important.  
So we need to be able to speak in this way. Just notice that even though I'm not doing 
anything else that’s particularly hypnotic, just by changing the tonality it begins to draw 
you in and you want to listen to things that I am saying.  
This is a perfect example of conversational hypnosis. I'm asking you to listen to what I'm 
saying and you want to listen to what I'm saying. Is that because I'm suggesting the 
experience, or is that because I'm mind reading the experience that you're having? The 
truth lies somewhere in between the two.  
Having a slower, lower, and a more power-filled tonality is a great general tonality to 
practice and get used to, so that you can drop into it in the middle of conversations. The 
way other people experience this tonality is it will just seem to them that you just hit an 
important point, so you're slowing down to emphasize something, or to really point 
something out.  
It's a bit like when you have an intimate conversation with a friend. You kind of shut the 
rest of the world out. That’s kind of how it will be perceived. Of course, you'll know that 
you're making it into a more hypnotic interaction, where the things that you're saying 
have a much more powerful impact on the other person.  
The Myths & The Truth About A Hypnotic Voice 
Now whilst we’re talking about tonality, I want to introduce you to one more really 
important concept that is totally misunderstood by very many people. It's the secret of the 
hypnotic voice.  
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
45
 There is a kind of myth going around, a kind of urban legend that there is a special kind 
of voice tone that you use which will send everyone into a trance. In a way it's sort of 
true, in the sense that a slower, lower, more powerful or meaningful tonality will kind of 
pull people in, because they want to listen to you more. Likewise a more energetic, 
excited, et cetera, tonality draws people in more into the excitement, the emotion of what 
you're doing.  
Having said that, they are not by themselves hypnotic.  
How To Condition People to respond To Your Hypnotic Voice 
The way you create a hypnotic voice is actually through training. You're going to 
condition a certain tone of voice so that when they hear that tone of voice, people 
automatically go into hypnosis. This is particularly important in covert hypnosis because 
otherwise, if you don’t do this, then your normal voice will become conditioned to 
hypnosis and every time you speak to that person they will go into a trance.  
Now that might sound like fun right now, but wait until you start talking to your friend 
whilst they're driving a car and they get distracted and end up having an accident. That’s 
not good. To be ethical, as well as to have control of when you do it and when you don’t, 
it's important to switch your tonality and have a specific kind of tone and rhythm that you 
only use for hypnosis and nothing else.  
It's a clever switch inside your own mind, which kind of opens up your hypnotic abilities 
at that point. It's really important for the other person, because then you’ve trained them 
to respond to your hypnotic voice.  
The beauty of this is that once you’ve been talking to someone and you’ve switched in 
and out of your hypnotic voice and you’ve trained them to respond more hypnotically, at 
that point just by switching tonality they will automatically drop into hypnosis. It's the 
world’s easiest hypnotic induction. 
How do you do this? How do you condition your hypnotic voice? The simple way to do 
this is you talk in your normal regular voice. You talk about normal regular things, and as 
soon as you do anything that’s even vaguely hypnotic, in other words you're using the 
imagination or you're using your Four Words of Power together with your hypnotic 
themes, you switch into your hypnotic voice.  
Then when you finished doing that, you switch back to your regular voice. Everything 
which is a regular conversation is done in your regular voice. Everything which is 
hypnotic is done in your hypnotic voice.  
Over time that just conditions it in, so that by just switching tonality people go into 
hypnosis. It's a wonderful thing. Experiment with it and enjoy it.

How To Secretly Use The Hypnotic Imagination 
46
 Track 8 5:48 
Let's go back to an idea that we covered in the first CD, the power of the imagination. 
Remember, the imagination is one of the master keys to hypnosis and powerful 
suggestion. You will really be able to paint a picture in someone’s mind or better still, 
create a mental movie in all the five senses to really bring it to life. In doing so, you bring 
the experience to life, and of course that has the hypnotic effect.  
The question is: How can you do this when you're doing it conversationally, when you're 
doing it covertly? 
It's easy enough to say to someone, “Imagine this and imagine that,” but if you're doing it 
conversationally, how can you do this without being caught, without people realizing that 
you're doing something hypnotic?  
Sometimes you can get away with it by simply saying, “Imagine this. Do that. Put this 
picture in your mind,” being quite direct about it, and it will fit the conversational context 
that you're using. That’s fine.  
At other times though, you need to get a little bit more sneaky, a little bit more covert. 
Just be able to come in around the side without people’s attention being drawn to the fact 
that you're beginning to draw pictures inside their minds and control the movies that they 
make inside their heads.  
I'd like to introduce you to three very simple techniques to do this. They're all related to 
each other in a slightly different way.  
Covert Hypnotic imagination Technique 1: My Friend John… 
The first technique is called the “My Friend John” technique. It's a very famous hypnotic 
induction. Basically it rests on the principle that when you talk to someone about 
someone else’s experience they have to, in their mind at some level, take on that other 
person’s experience in order to understand what you're talking about.  
The classic way this was done is when talking to someone who wants to go into hypnosis 
and is a little bit scared of doing so, the hypnotist might just say, “Well, I have a friend 
called John who wanted to go into hypnosis, as well. I told John, “Just close your eyes 
and go into hypnosis.” ”  
Whilst you're talking about everything that happened with John, of course they're having 
the same experience. You can just talk about your friend John, your friend Jane, or 
Mary—it doesn’t matter who it is—and how they had some pictures inside of their mind, 
how they thought some things, how they had a certain mental movie going through them, 
how they talked themselves in a certain tone of voice.  
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
47
 Whilst you're describing what happened to your friend, the person right in front of you 
will have the exact same experience. It's a beautiful little way of putting thoughts and 
pictures inside someone else’s mind without telling them that that’s what you're doing. 
Covert Hypnotic imagination Technique 2: Its Just Like… 
Another very simple and very effective method is the simile. It's basically just words like, 
“It's like this,” or, “It's like that.” How often have you turned to a simile in the middle of 
a conversation in order to explain yourself? “The problem is like I'm doing this and I'm 
doing that. It’s like that.”  
A simile is great because it allows you to draw a mental picture for someone whilst 
talking or referring to whatever situation you're talking about. Of course, once the mental 
picture is inside of their mind you’ve got the power of imagination working for you.  
For example, let's say you want someone to excel at using a computer system. You can 
say, “Using a computer is just like going swimming. At first you just dip your little toe in 
and it feels cold. You'll know whether or not you can get into the water, but soon you 
become so used to having your foot or your toe in the water that you just begin to wonder 
what it’s going to be like to just throw your whole body in and enjoy the splash and that 
wonderful light sensation of being in the water. Learning to use a new computer is 
exactly the same.”  
What has computer and swimming got anything to do with it?  
Not much, but by using the simile principle and the words “just like this,” you can draw a 
wonderful picture of something which is pleasant inside their mind, and link it to 
whatever idea you're presenting. Of course, they did get the idea that perhaps learning a 
computer is just a step-by-step process, but instead of telling them logically you're telling 
them through the power of the imagination, which is much more effective.  
Covert Hypnotic imagination Technique 3: Switch Referential Index 
The final technique is related to the “My Friend John” technique. This is called a  
“Switching of Referential Index.” It has a very complex label to it, but don’t worry about 
the label too much.  
Essentially you're going to introduce it with a little phrase, “You know when XY Zed 
happens.” Basically what happens here is you're going to talk about your own experience, 
but halfway through the experience you switch from saying I to you. People do this all 
the time.  
“You know when you're walking down the street and you see an old friend and you wave 
to them but suddenly you realize that they're not really the person you thought they were? 
Notice what I just did there. I'm talking about my experience or I'm actually talking about 
universal experience, but I switched to talking about, “You know when you do this.”  
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
48
 Some people only speak in the second person, even when they talk about themselves. 
“What's the problem?”  
“Well, you know when you get these headaches?”  
I don’t get headaches – but they're talking about this as though you did. It's kind of a 
hypnotic suggestion.  
They switch their referential index. When they say, “You know when?” or, “You know 
what it's like?” then you switch from saying, “I do this. I do that,” to, “You do this,” and 
“You do that.” It’s a very natural switch to take and it ends up being a very simple way of 
giving people very direct suggestions without them ever knowing it's happening.  
With these three methods you can use the power of imagination, and use it covertly. 
How To Use The Hypnotic Gaze Induction 
Track 9 4:54 
How can you pull everything you’ve learned together in order to use covert hypnosis in a 
more official kind of capacity?  
You have a kind of template inside your mind of what to do. Just like you had “The Ten 
Second Hypnotist” for regular hypnosis, there is something called the Hypnotic Gaze 
Induction, which you can use to fit in all the things you know about covert hypnosis.  
Remember, so far you’ve learned some very powerful strategies. You’ve got the idea of 
hypnotic themes and the Four Words of Power, in other words the secret language of 
hypnosis. You have the ability of switching through your tonality in order to influence 
them at an emotional level, and you have the ability to use the imagination in order to 
augment your suggestions.  
You can use it individually or you can use all of these together for an added impact. You 
can start casually dropping them in conversation every now and again, and you can use 
them in little chunks in order to actually achieve this specific outcome.  
If you want structure, remember you're still using the ABS formula.  
A stands for Attract Attention or Absorb Attention,  
B stands for Bypass the critical factor, and  
S stands for Stimulate the unconscious mind.  
Most of the things you're doing will already have some of their attention. I'm going to 
teach you a little thing that’s going to do all the AB part of the formula almost 
automatically, while it’s doing the other things. Also remember, of course, that your 
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
49
 language and your imagination exercises, all these things, are going to have the effect of 
bypassing the critical factor and absorbing their attention as you're talking to them.  
The Power Of Your Hypnotic Gaze 
These are just ways of augmenting what you already have. The Hypnotic Gaze induction 
is basically like the Hypnotic Gaze induction we talked about at the end of the first CD. 
You're going to look at someone’s eyes and hold that gaze.  
This is a very unusual thing to do. In our society it is considered “impolite” to stare, so 
when we talk about holding someone’s eye contact I don’t mean staring in a weird or 
scary way. I don’t mean staring in a confrontational sort of way. The difference between 
them has everything to do with what's going on inside you.  
Key Secret: Make It Friendly! 
When you feel good and friendly and have a crinkle in the side of your eyes, that attitude 
projects out of you through something called sub-communication. It kind of leaps out of 
your body language, out of your tonality, and people feel safe around you.  
At the same time, the eye contact makes them feel a little bit edgy or nervous. You want 
that because it kind of throws off-kilter the normal way of thinking, which means that 
their critical factor, their critical mind, has nothing to attach to. It’s the first thing to go 
when things become uncertain.  
Through the power of eye contact and holding a little bit of silence, people start getting a 
little bit uncomfortable. At that point you can start talking emphatically with purpose and, 
of course, using the master keys like the secret language of hypnosis, flow, association, 
and the imagination in order to instill the hypnotic attitude that you want another person 
to adopt.  
Using Your Hypnotic Gaze In A Normal Conversation 
The approach is very simple. You look at their eyes. You fall silent for a little while just 
to see what happens. Typically what happens is they’ll start rapid talking for a while, and 
start asking questions trying to get your feedback. At that point, basically, they are a little 
bit nervous, and that’s what you want.  
When that happens, you start going into a kind of a monologue. In other words, you start 
talking and you keep right on talking. You keep right on talking emphatically, 
purposefully, like what you're saying is the most important thing in the world. Believe it 
or not I am doing it right now. It’s kind of almost like a lecturing tonality.  
You can also switch the tonality to a more relaxing tonality. You can still talk 
emphatically and switch your tonality into a different kind of hypnotic experience, but 
you still keeping talking and you're still in control of that part of the interaction. When 
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
50
 they start contributing things, when they start talking again, it will break the hypnotic 
spell for awhile.  
Hypnotic Cycles 
To solve the problem you just go right back again. You go through these cycles, a little 
bit of hypnosis, a little bit of regular conversation, a little bit of hypnosis, a little bit of 
regular conversation. These cycles are very useful and very powerful.  
What this does, of course, is allow you dispense with a regular induction. With a 
Hypnotic Gaze together with the master keys, the principles that we’ve been talking 
about, you now have the makings of a perfect, undetectable, covert induction. 
The Hypnotic Blitz Technique 
Track 10 8:18 
Let's see if we can up the ante even further. I want to teach you a technique called the 
Hypnotic Blitz. This technique is technically a semi-overt technique. In other words, 
there is a reasonable likelihood that people will know that you're doing something 
unusual, maybe even hypnotic.  
However most people, unless they know you're a hypnotist, won't realize that you're 
trying to hypnotize them because it just sounds like you're being very enthusiastic about 
something or very engaged in something. In fact the Hypnotic Blitz has been used on you 
several times throughout your life without you really recognizing that that’s what's going 
on.  
Curses & Benedictions 
Before we go into the ins and outs of the Hypnotic Blitz, I would like to talk a little bit 
about curses and benediction. Hypnosis is a natural phenomenon, as you know, and 
people fall into trances all the time. The problem is that sometimes people get negative 
messages whilst they're in one of these trances.  
For example, let's say you come home from school. You have a bad report card and your 
mother or your father or your guardian is upset with you and they give you a stern talking 
to. If they don’t watch their language, they can actually induce a trance and at the same 
time give you negative suggestions like, “You're no good. You're lazy. Why are you so 
lazy?”  
These aren’t useful things to be carrying in the back of your mind. It's the kind of mental 
baggage that you don’t need and you don’t want. It's a mental curse, and the curse is 
ironically not usually given by someone who doesn’t like you.  
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
51
 It’s usually given in an attempt at being in your best interest. It's given by someone who 
is a very poor hypnotist, typically, because they don’t know they're doing it. However we 
still have these curses.  
The benediction is, of course, the opposite. We’ve all had the experience when a friend, a 
parent, or a loved one speaks to us in a particular tone of voice, in a particular way, about 
all the qualities that they like about us. In doing so it's giving a kind of hypnotic blessing.  
They talk about it in such a way that we’ve been empowered. We feel more confident. 
We feel better about ourselves. This is the opposite of hypnotic curse. It's a hypnotic 
benediction. It talks well of someone.  
The Hypnotic Blitz As A Benediction 
The Hypnotic Blitz is going to use a kind of overload technique of hypnosis in order to 
create a hypnotic benediction, to make people feel like a million dollars, and then attach 
that onto a motivator. In other words to get them to do something, maybe to get a dry 
cleaner to give you better dry cleaning, to get better service from a restaurant, to create a 
more intimate relationship with a loved one.  
It doesn’t matter what it is. Benedictions are wonderful tools which will allow you to 
create a wonderful experience with someone else, whilst at the same time getting 
something more beneficial for yourself as well. 
A Step By Step Guide To The Hypnotic Blitz 
For hypnotic benedictions you basically want to pull out a theme. Remember we talked 
about hypnotic themes before in terms of relaxation and focus, et cetera? Now you're 
going to switch to a benediction theme. These are things like the ability to learn more 
easily, the ability to have more self esteem, to feel confident, and also the goal in the 
future.  
The Three Themes 
There are many different benediction themes that you can pull out. These are the three 
that I want you to focus on: 
1. The ability to learn because life is about learning new things;  
2. The ability to feel confidence and like yourself and be liked by other people; and 
3. The goal in the future, to expect good things to happen to you in the future.  
When you take this theme and you use all the things that you learned about so far, you 
can start basically having a positive rant about something. The key thing, of course, is 
that you have to have them engaged with it and you have to have their critical factor, their 
critical mind, disengaged.  
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
Here is the method for doing this.  
52
 Hypnotic Blitz Step 1: Go First 
Step number one is to go first. In hypnosis, when we talk about going first that means 
having the emotional experience inside you, so you're totally convinced.  
If you want someone to be excited and motivated and enthused about a product that 
you're selling, there is no point even starting until you're motivated and excited and 
infused yourself.  
Why?  
Because that carries through and they get kind of charged up by it. They get infected by 
your enthusiasm.  
The same is true of relaxation. If you want people to be relaxed, you have to be at least 
more relaxed than they are when you start off because, again, it gives them a subtle 
communication in which direction to move as they follow you.  
Begin by going first. If you're going to give someone self esteem suggestions for more 
confidence for example, go first and remind yourself of all the good things you think 
about them, why you think they should be confident, why they should feel great about 
themselves. At that point, once you’ve stuck that inside your own mind, that’s something 
you do without really telling people you're doing it.  
Hypnotic Blitz Step 2: The Hypnotic Gaze 
Then you begin with the whole Hypnotic Gaze procedure we just talked about. You hold 
their eye contact to the point where it's a little bit uncomfortable. Just at the point where 
they start getting nervous and they want to break the tension, you'll break the tension by 
speaking. You will not break the eye contact.  
Hypnotic Blitz Step 3: Unleash Your Theme 
As you make eye contact, as you have these wonderful ideas and feelings inside yourself 
and you start getting animated about it, you begin to go into your themes, your hypnotic 
themes, your benediction themes; let's say your ability to learn things, to learn things 
quickly and easily. At that point you just get animated and enthused about that theme, 
because you can learn about hypnosis in so many different ways.  
It's so easy to learn hypnosis because you have the capacity. Think about it. You have 
learned hypnosis so many times in your life without even knowing about it. You’ve talked 
to a friend and cheered them up and you didn’t even know what you were saying. All you 
had was the genuine desire to help that person and so you learned to do it.  
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
53
 As you learned those things and as you learned a whole bunch of other things in your life, 
you can learn to master this thing. Think about how easily you learn to do things like 
mastering to drive a car and mastering writing and reading. Even though that may not 
have been easy at the time, they're easy for you right now because you have the benefit of 
experience and practice.  
Every single time you learn something it becomes easier to learn something new and 
something different, because you have more experiences inside you that allow you to 
learn new things. That is why you're going to master hypnosis and learn it quickly, easily 
and without any problems whatsoever.

Notice what I did there. I went into one of these so-called positive rants. I went into a 
benediction. The Hypnotic Blitz is all about overloading people. You can use the 
Hypnotic Gaze with a more slow and comfortable pace, and that’s fine.  
The Hypnotic Blitz, though, requires you to keep talking in such an animated way that it 
kind of blows through any resistance. It blows through any negativity the person might 
have. It blows through any objections.  
Basically it uses overpowering, but in a positive, overpowering mood; to kind of blow 
through anything that is in its way. You're using enthusiasm. You're using animation. 
You're using the principle of going first to blow right through any resistance, any 
problems a person may have. All that’s left at that point is the positive message that you 
have for people.  
Think of it a bit like a rabbit being caught in the headlights of a car, but this time instead 
of being hit by a car, which is going to be a negative experience, they're going to be hit 
by a really positive experience. Then keep right on hitting them with positive experiences 
until they're imbedded deeply in their subconscious mind, and the person just feels better. 
They feel more optimistic about their future. They feel better about themselves.  
They feel better about their ability to learn and they think, “Yeah. This kind of makes 
sense.” This is the best way to help people in a conversational setting and be known as a 
thoroughly enthusiastic, motivating, and wonderful person to be around.  
This is the power of the Hypnotic Blitz. Use it well and use it often. 
Hypnotic Influence 
Track 11 4:00 
Before we finish up on this CD, I would like to talk a little bit about influence. Influence 
is really one of the main reasons why people don’t get interested in hypnosis. Of course,

 it's the ability to help other people and create positive life changes, but even that requires 
you to influence someone at some level. 
Influence Secret 1: Change Moods to Change Minds 
The main key to influence, and this is one of the most important things you could ever 
remember, is that you want to change people’s moods in order to change their minds. The 
problem is most people who try to influence others begin with their minds. They try using 
logic and reason.  
Logic and reason have their place in the influencing scheme of things, but more 
important than logic and reason is the mood, the emotional state. We make decisions 
based on emotions. If you can affect someone else's emotions you will affect the 
decisions they make, the conclusions they come to. If you can attach a strong emotion to 
an idea they’ll become attracted to it, or also repelled towards it.  
The key to all influence is to change people’s moods in order to change their minds.  
Influence Secret 2: Notice Emotions 
In order to do this, become very sensitive to how people are feeling at one moment in 
time. Become observant of people. When you become observant you'll notice what mood 
they're in right now, and you can start shifting them to one emotion or another emotion in 
order to attach whatever ideas you want to have to that. 
Influence Secret 3: Emphasise Emotions Over Logic 
The stronger the emotion is the more convincing your arguments will be, as a rule of 
thumb. You absolutely need to have emotion in order to have someone engaged in what 
you're saying. If they're not engaged, no matter how logical you are they will reject the 
idea.  
You may have come across this before. You give someone all these logical reasons for 
why they're wrong, but they're still adamant about why they're right. They can't see their 
logic.  
Why?  
Because the negative emotions they feel when you talk about them in their logical sense 
creates a defense mechanism which automatically rejects all information.  
When you get the right mood, a mood where they're more positive or they're more 
motivated, or they feel good, they're more willing to accept information because it's safe.

Troubleshooting Tip: Check The Emotional Climate 
55
 Make sure that whenever you have a problem with influence, the first point you get 
towards is to begin to influence their mood. Then you can start adding in the ideas of 
reason and logic and even pseudo logic, in order to move them forward in the interaction.  
Influence Secret 4: Emotions Drive Behaviours 
Start with the emotion. Include some kind of behavior at that point. When you have an 
emotion, if you want to have a behavioral outcome, for example to ask someone to give 
you a cup of coffee, include the behavior in it and then create a call to action at the end. 
You need to be able to release whatever you’ve created in order for them to put 
themselves into action. 
If you're just influencing their ideas, in that case you don’t need behaviors and a call to 
action because the idea already sits there attached to the emotion. If you do want a 
behavior—for example, if you're a sales person you want someone to buy something, or 
if you're a teacher and you want your kids to do their homework, or you're a parent and 
you want your kids to tidy up their rooms—you need to attach a behavior to the feeling 
and finally create a call to action.  
Make them feel great. Describe the behavior maybe using the “My Friend John” 
technique and then give a call to action and let them just go off and do their thing. The 
way I have it visualized inside my mind is to think of it like one of those windup bunny 
toys. When you build up the emotion you're winding up and winding up and winding up 
the bunny.  
When you describe the behavior you're kind of turning it in the direction you want it to 
walk. The call to action is when you just release it and let the bunny walk in a straight 
line from A all the way to B. That is the key to influence.

 CD 3 – Self Hypnosis 
Introduction to CD3 
Track 1 1:23 
Welcome to “Street Hypnosis Exposed.” In this the third and final CD, entitled “Self 
Hypnosis, Unleash Your Potential Today,” I want to share a quick and easy method for 
using the power of hypnosis for yourself. Overcoming difficulties, programming in 
exciting goals, and creating a future that glows brightly with promise is easy with this 
method.  
I'm going to show you the difference between hypnosis and self-hypnosis, and how to 
create goals and turn those into powerful suggestions. Then I'll take you through the 
unique method and show you how to install that at a subconscious level, so it's there 
whenever you want or need it.  
As soon as you're ready to experience that, just sit back, relax, and enjoy “Street 
Hypnosis Exposed.”   
Self Hypnosis – v – Regular Hypnosis 
Track 2 3:21 
Let's start off by talking about the distinction between self-hypnosis and hypnosis. By 
now you should have a reasonable grasp of what hypnosis is and how to induce it, in 
particular remembering the all-important ABS formula.  
All Hypnosis Is Self Hypnosis 
The thing about self-hypnosis is it is pretty much the same as regular forms of hypnosis. 
You can use self-hypnosis on yourself, to gain all the benefits that otherwise people 
would get from the power of hypnosis when you're the hypnotist, hypnotizing them. 
You can overcome fears and personal phobias. You can improve your health and 
overcome health problems. You can increase your happiness, your confidence, and other 
emotions; and you can improve upon your wealth and success in life.  
These are all the kinds of things that you can program your mind to do for you. All in all, 
you could say that pretty much all hypnosis is a form of self-hypnosis, because of course 
the state and the condition takes place inside the mind of the other person. Your skill as a 
hypnotist is in allowing someone else, or guiding someone else through a process, to take 
them to their own personal state of hypnosis.

 The Crucial Difference In Self Hypnosis 
In self-hypnosis we cut out the middle man, and you do it all directly on yourself. 
However, there are important distinctions between regular hypnosis, or even covert 
hypnosis and self-hypnosis.  
The main distinction is this. Because you're guiding someone else during regular or 
covert hypnosis, it means that to a certain extent they can release responsibility. They just 
follow along and don’t have to have a sort of guiding and planning part of their mind 
active to direct them somewhere.  
Of course, when you start doing self-hypnosis there is no one to guide you through it, 
unless you're using a tape of some sort. The only problem that can occur is that when you 
activate the planning or the guiding part of your mind too much, you could accidentally 
trigger the critical factor, the critical mind, which is of course the deadly enemy of 
hypnosis.  
The Receptive Mind 
You want to create a condition in which you can guide yourself through the process—or 
go through the process of self-hypnosis—without triggering the critical factor. This is 
what we call, in self-hypnosis, the receptive mind; creating a mind which is open and 
receptive to your own suggestions and at the same time has a block on the critical factor, 
so that you don’t undo all the good work you’ve just done.  
All your experiences in regular hypnosis and in covert hypnosis still count. In particular, 
the ABS formula is going to be crucial in creating a self-hypnosis method that will work 
for you. You will still have to absorb your attention. You will still have to bypass your 
critical factor and you will still have to stimulate your unconscious mind. In this program 
we’re going to show you how to do this.  
The beauty of this course is the things that you learn here during self-hypnosis will feed 
back into your ability to do regular hypnosis and covert hypnosis, so everything supports 
itself. Whatever you learn here will help you in regular hypnosis, will help your covert 
hypnosis, and will help you become even better at self-hypnosis. They are all in a 
continuous feedback loop.  
So enjoy the processes and the ideas that you're going to be exposed to here. Remember 
to apply them in the other fields, as well.

How To Set A Compelling Goal 
58
 Track 3 9:18 
Your first step to using self-hypnosis is, of course, to set some kind of goal up. If you 
have no goal, how are you going to create suggestions to achieve it? The whole purpose 
of hypnosis is a goal-seeking mechanism.  
Hypnosis achieves things. Without it, it's just meditation. We need to begin with a goal in 
order to be able to convert that goal into something which is hypnotic, which you can 
achieve.  
Not all goals are created equally, which is to say there are some goals which are formed 
in a bad way, which makes them difficult to achieve. There are many subtleties that go 
into the art of understanding goals properly. The easiest mechanism that we’re going to 
look at today is something called the SMART goal formula. This is something you may 
be familiar with already.  
It's a very simple and straightforward mechanism. There are sophistications that you can 
put around it to make it better, but for the purposes of creating a simple, easy to use, and 
quickly accessed hypnosis program, this is going to be the easiest thing that you can get 
your hands on. 
Health, Wealth or Relationships? 
Before we look at the SMART goals let's have a look at the kind of categories that you 
can look at, in terms of improving yourself and using self-hypnosis to help you. The three 
goals and categories are self-improvement—basically relationships; your wealth or 
career; and your health, in which I include the physical as well as mental health.  
Basically, anything that you want to achieve will fit in there somewhere. Either you want 
to become more creative to help boost your career and become more successful, make 
more money; or perhaps you have a fear or a phobia that’s a psychological disease. 
Perhaps you have a physical disease. Perhaps you have psoriasis. Perhaps you have 
stress.  
Alternatively, it could be about relationships. Relationships include more than just 
personal relationships in the sense of romantic relationships, although that is of course at 
the top of very many people’s lists. You can have relationships with your spouse, your 
children, your coworkers, your clients.  
Sales people wanting to increase sales may not have a career problem. It may be a 
relationship problem. They may want to improve the relationships with their clients to 
make them trust them more, and want to buy more.  
Think in terms of these three categories and ask yourself, “What kind of things would 
you like to change? What kind of things would you like to improve upon?”

 The Magic Question 
The magic question which I like to ask people is,  
If there were no restrictions—in other words, if you knew you could succeed—what 
would you do?  
If I had a magic wand in my hand right now and I could wave it three times and at the 
end of the third wave you would be whatever way you wanted to be, and everything 
would be the way you would want to have it, how would the world be?  
What would you be capable of doing and what would you just experiment with, just to 
find out how much fun it could be?  
Think about this and choose one topic that you would like to work on. It could be stress 
relief. It could be accelerated learning. It could be to improve a relationship, or it could 
be a financial goal. Just choose one so that we can use that as an example to work 
through the SMART goals formula.  
I'm going to assume that you’ve chosen a topic that you want to work through and create 
a goal around, which you'll then turn into a hypnotic, compelling item.  
SMART Goals 
Let's use the SMART formula now. SMART is an acronym that stands for five things.  
S stands for Specific,  
M stands for Measurable,  
A stands for Affect,  
R for Realistic and  
T for Timed.  
That’s Specific, Measurable, Affect, Realistic, and Timed. These are the five things that 
you must include inside a goal, in order to make sure that it works well.  
Specific 
By Specific, we mean we don’t want to have a vague goal. For example, if your goal is a 
financial one—you want to have more money—what is more money? If you get a regular 
paycheck, guess what? The minute your next paycheck comes home, you have more 
money. If you find five cents in the street, or a dollar bill, you’ve got more money. It may 
not be as much as you wanted, but that’s your fault for not asking for it.  
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
60
 When you want to be specific, I mean be specific. Be exact. Put a number on it. Say you 
want to have another $50,000. You want to have another $374.24. The more specific you 
are, the easier it is to achieve it.  
Specific also means you're going to also make sure you have a positive goal, not a 
negative one. By negative I don’t mean you have a goal that’s bad for you. By negative I 
mean to have a goal that’s formulated in a positive frame.  
Remember what we said during suggestions? That you can't say to “not think of a red 
cat” without thinking of a red cat first?  
A poor goal, an unspecific goal is to say, “I don’t want to feel afraid. I don’t want to be 
coughing all the time. I don’t want to be in debt,” because that doesn’t tell you what you 
should be doing. It’s not very specific. It's only specific about what you don’t want.  
What is it that you do
 want?  
Stay clear of the negative and make sure that what you want is stated in some specific 
way.  
To help this is the next step: M for Measurable.  
Measurable 
In order to make something specific it really helps to have it measurable. You’ve got to 
figure out a way of knowing when you’ve achieved it.  
You see, sometimes people achieve a goal that they’ll never be able to test whether or not 
it's working. If they can't test whether it's working, how will they ever know that they’ve 
achieved it? They might spend the rest of their lives trying to achieve something that 
they’ve already achieved 50 years ago, and feel frustrated that they can't do it.  
The fact is, they can do it and they have done it. It’s just that they never stopped to figure 
out how they would know that they’ve achieved it, so that they would know when it was 
time to celebrate and pat themselves on the back and say, “Now I've got it.” 
The simplest way of doing something which is measurable is to ask yourself a question,: 
What will you be seeing, hearing, and feeling when you’ve achieved your goal?   
You’re going to create a scene. Think of a movie director trying to create a movie that 
will let you know you’ve achieved it now.  
Some examples might be picturing a fat wallet of cash that you pull out of your pocket. It 
could be that if you have a skin condition, you can see your skin being clear of it and 
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
61
 feeling healthy. Whatever it is, make sure it's measurable so I will know when I have 
achieved what I want.  
Affect 
The third step is Affect. Affect stands for emotion. It's got to affect you in some way. In 
other words, your goals need to have an emotional content because your emotions are the 
fuel, the motivation that drives goals. Emotions are the fuel of the unconscious mind. 
If your goal hasn’t got a positive emotion, why should your unconscious mind do it?  
If your goal has a negative emotion, it may actually pull you away from it. You might 
imagine a goal that you think you want, but as you are imagining it or visualizing it or 
creating it, if you feel bad or frustrated or angry that’s just going to pull you away from 
the experience. Make sure the goals are specific, measurable, and have a positive affect; 
an emotional intensity. 
Realistic 
The next thing is to make sure it's Realistic. By realistic we don’t mean it in a sort of 
negative sense like, “That’s not realistic. That can't happen,” but realistic is in a sense of 
having control over it.  
Winning the lottery is not a realistic goal because you have no control over it. You might 
win it or you might not, but you don’t have any control over it.  
Writing a particularly good report or learning a language or increasing your vocabulary, 
these are all things that are in your control. They are realistic because they are things that 
you can influence by doing other things. Make sure it's realistic. It's something that’s 
within your power to achieve and not something which would require magic to achieve.  
Timed 
Finally, make sure you have a Time frame by which to achieve it. Just like being specific, 
wanting more money isn’t good enough. Just having a vague time in the future might 
mean that you never actually achieve it. Set a date on the experience. Set a date on the 
time you want to get the goal achieved.  
Sometimes there are occasions when you can't set a date, because the nature of the goal is 
one where time doesn’t really fit into it. For those kinds of goals, particularly continuing 
goals like improving your golf game, et cetera, just make sure you include the time 
element by saying when you're going to begin. “Begin right now. Begin on Tuesday. 
Begin next week, et cetera.” Timing can be a question of the end goal, when you actually 
achieve it. It can also be a question of when you begin it.  
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
62
 That’s the SMART goal formula in action. I'm going to encourage you to just take a few 
moments before we move on to the next track and actually work through whatever goal 
that you have chosen for yourself. Work through it in the SMART goal formula.  
Make sure it's Specific. Make sure you Measure it. Make sure it has lots of emotion, that 
it's got an Affect for you. Make sure it's Realistic, and that it has some kind of Timing 
inside it. 
Once you have that, go on to the next recording and I'll show you how to turn those goals 
into golden suggestions.  
How To Create A Compelling Self-Suggestion 
Track 4 9:16 
I'm going to assume that you’ve taken a goal and you’ve put it through the SMART goal 
formula to make sure that it's as streamlined as possible for your success. The next thing 
to do is to take this goal and turn it into suggestions that you can use to program your 
unconscious mind, in order to get you what you want.  
You can think of your unconscious mind in some respects as a bit like a computer. If you 
program it to do certain things, it will do them. If you program it to reach certain 
outcomes, it will find ways of achieving that also. 
The Three Types Of Suggestions 
Essentially, there are three types of suggestions that you'll be able to use with any self
hypnosis program. The first type is called a prehypnotic suggestion. Then you will have 
your regular hypnotic suggestions, and finally we have visualizations.  
Each one works in a slightly different way and has its own unique characteristics.  
A prehypnotic suggestion is a suggestion that you give yourself before you actually begin 
the hypnotic process. It's kind of like preparing your mind so when you go into hypnosis 
you don’t have to think about it anymore. Your mind just kind of refers back to them and 
does it automatically.  
A regular hypnotic suggestion is the closest thing to a regular hypnosis session that you'll 
come across. Basically, once you're in self-hypnosis you just talk to yourself as though 
you were talking to someone else. You give yourself the suggestions that you want.  
Finally, a visualization is basically using the principle of imagination in order to reach the 
unconscious mind.  
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
The Problem With Self-Suggestions 
63
 Of all these types of suggestions, the regular hypnotic suggestion, believe it or not, is the 
most difficult to use during self-hypnosis. The reason for that is because it usually takes 
your intellect to kind of work out what to say. The minute you start using your intellect, 
there's a huge danger that your critical factor will come online and start ruining things for 
you.  
There is a real skill to be developed in order to be able to use regular hypnotic suggestion 
during self-hypnosis, without interfering. That’s basically when you really develop this 
idea of a receptive mind to its fullness. 
For the purposes of this program, because of the time that we have, I'm going to 
recommend that you ignore regular hypnotic suggestions for the purposes of self
hypnosis at this point. Just go with prehypnotic suggestions and visualizations. 
Visualisations 
Let's turn to visualizations first of all, because they're the easiest ones to convert SMART 
goals into. If you think about it, in order to create a SMART goal you have at some level 
probably already created a mental movie of things you'll hear, things you'll feel, things 
you'll see as a result of achieving whatever your goal is. Believe it or not, that is your 
visualization.  
Going to the end point—when you’ve achieved everything and everything has turned out 
perfectly well for you—is something that you can mentally rehearse inside your mind. In 
other words, you're rehearsing the outcome inside your mind during self-hypnosis. At 
that point, you're done. 
Insider Secrets For Improved Visualisations 
There are a couple of refinements you can put onto this. One refinement is that you could 
actually go to the point after you’ve achieved something, when it's all over and it's no 
longer a big deal. At that point, you go to a point in the future where you have a history 
of having achieved it already.  
That’s a nice little trick to use when the goal that you are up against is something you 
really, really want to have. You almost want it too much, so you can't get some distance 
from it. By going to the future after you’ve already achieved it and it's no longer a big 
deal for you, it's an easy psychological trick for getting some distance. 
The other thing you can do is, instead of going to the future, you can go into a smaller 
step. You can actually begin to do things like rehearsing behavior. This is particularly 
good if you want to improve a skill; for example, a sport or playing the piano. At that 
point, when you go into hypnosis and begin to visualize things, you actually choose a 
skill set. For example, you choose swinging the golf club or perhaps playing a particular 
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
64
 song, and you rehearse doing that as though it were the real thing, as though you were 
right there doing it.  
Remember of course ABS. You're using the visualization to stimulate your mind, but you 
still want “A.” You want your attention 110% focused on the activity that you are doing.  
How To Use Visualisations In Self Hypnosis 
To use visualization is very simple.  
1. You prepare yourself.  
2. You enter into a hypnotic trance in the method I'm going to show you.  
3. And then whilst you're in hypnosis you just imagine it.  
You picture it. You feel it. You go through whatever it is you decided to rehearse or to 
imagine, and at the end of it just come right on back and you just let it go, forget about it, 
and get on with your day. 
How To Turn A SMART Goal Into A Verbal Suggestion 
Next, let's turn our attention to how to change a goal and collapse it into a phrase or a 
hypnotic suggestion.  
First of all, there are certain rules that you want to apply when using suggestions on 
yourself.  
The Three Golden Rules
 The three basic rules are  
1. Keep it in the first person. Don’t say, “You're doing this,” or, “He's doing that.” 
Say, “I'm doing this. I'm doing that.” 
2. Keep it in the present tense. The unconscious mind doesn’t understand times. 
Time is a relative concept. If you think about it, time does not exist for you. All 
that exists is right now. When you think about the future, you're doing it now. 
When you think about the past, you're doing it now.  
Now is really the moment of power. It's where you get to change things, and it's really the 
moment that your unconscious mind understands the best. Keep it in the present tense so 
that you're not suggesting something that will always be in the future. Ultimately, you'll 
want the result to be one of the future “nows” that you'll experience. 
3. Finally, the third rule is keep it positive. Again, if you’ve created your SMART 
goals properly you will have no problem with this. By positive I mean don’t 
create negative goals. Don’t say things like, “I don’t have a headache. I don’t feel 
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
65
 bad. I don’t feel uncomfortable.” Use positive suggestions like, “My head feels 
light and clear,” like “I feel confident,” like, “I have a million dollars.”  
The Law Of Parsimony
 Notice that all of these examples were actually quite short. You want to be able to 
encapsulate your hypnotic suggestion in 15 words or less. Don’t write long, complicated 
sentences. If you're going to have more than one sentence, make them two or three short 
sentences of just three or four words each.  
Keep it short. Keep it simple. Make it easy to remember. The very act of changing your 
goal into a short, simple, focused statement or suggestion is actually going to help you to 
prepare the mind really well, in order to create the effect of the hypnotic suggestion. 
The collapsed phrase, the “I'm feeling healthy. I’m confident,” et cetera, these kinds of 
phrases, if you put them into a SMART formula, might sound something like this.  
“On February 27th I'm feeling confident in my new job.”  
Maybe you can picture the new job or you can give it a job title, for example.  
That kind of puts everything you’ve learned together in one neat little package. That little 
package is something that you'll be able to use as a prehypnotic suggestion as well as a 
regular suggestion during hypnosis. It's easier to use as a prehypnotic suggestion because 
you can write it down and read it.  
Don’t Engage The Critical Factor 
If you want to do it during regular hypnosis you had better practice it a lot beforehand, 
because the last thing you want to do is be in hypnosis and trying to remember what it is 
that you wrote down or you decided to say. That, of course, is going to just trigger the 
critical factor again. It will be thinking, “Is this right? Is this good enough? Was a word 
missing?”  
That’s the last thing you want to do. Either rememorize the phrase thoroughly so you can 
remember it easily during your hypnotic session if you're going to use it for regular 
hypnosis, or just write it down and use it as a prehypnotic suggestion. 
If you do want to use regular hypnotic suggestions in self-hypnosis, here's a little trick for 
you that will make it much easier and keep the critical factor at bay.  
Basically, you're going to pull out of your suggestions or your SMART goal a whole 
bunch of hypnotic themes that help that goal. Then you're going to combine with power 
words. Then, just as the way you did during the hypnotic blitz that I showed you on the 
previous CD, you're going to basically run through a monologue inside your mind that’s 
going to motivate you and excite you and basically give a pep talk to your unconscious 
mind, using the power words and these hypnotic themes about your goal.

 It might sound something like this,  
“Every day and everywhere I'm feeling healthier and healthier. My lungs are fresh. My 
arms are strong. I have so much energy and vitality that I'm feeling more and more alive 
each day, more and more alive. The more alive I feel the clearer my lungs become, the 
more my energy rises up and the more I feel like doing exercise. I love doing exercise 
because the more I exercise the more amazing I feel inside.”  
Notice how that little example was just using the power words, the hypnotic themes 
around exercise or healthy living, and building that into a little mini-blitz that I can make 
up as I go along whilst I'm in self-hypnosis.  
A Step By Step Guide To This Easy Self Hypnosis Method 
Track 5 9:12 
I would like to describe to you the whole method, so that you understand how you're 
going to use self-hypnosis and how it works and all fits together before we actually install 
the method into you during a self-hypnosis procedure. The method itself is very 
straightforward.  
1. It starts off with a preparation phase.  
2. Then it goes to a prehypnotic suggestion phase.  
3. Then you induce the trance.  
4. You'll drift around in there for a while. 
5. And then you'll return. 
Step 1: Prepare Yourself 
To prepare, you're basically going to be looking at creating the right conditions in order 
for you to be able to get the most out of the hypnosis.  
Set Time Aside
 First of all, just choose a time and a place where you'll be doing this. It's ideal to do this 
in a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Give yourself 15 minutes at least, maybe 
half an hour. Really, once you get used to it, you'll only need five or ten minutes.  
Minimise Distractions
 Try to make sure that there will be no outside distractions. That means you turn off your 
mobile phone. That means you lock up the dog. That means you ask someone else to take 
care of the children for a while and you take the phone off the hook. Just make sure 
nothing will intrude on you.

 The Safety Statements
 Then, as part of your preparation you're going to create certain statements, or safety 
statements; statements of intent to basically set up a session for you. These safety 
statements are actually prehypnotic suggestions that you give yourself, to make sure that 
everything turns out well.  
The safety statements basically are:  
1. whilst you're in hypnosis you want to give yourself a time limit so that you come 
back out of it spontaneously. If you don’t give yourself a time limit, you may 
have to keep opening your eyes to look at your clock and find out whether or not 
you’ve taken enough time up or something else has happened. When you go in, 
start getting used to saying, “I'm going into self-hypnosis for ten minutes,” for 
example. 
2. The next thing you want to do is to create the basic safety statement which says, 
“If anything should happen that requires my attention whilst I'm in hypnosis, I 
will wake up instantly, feeling refreshed, relaxed, alert, and ready to deal with 
the situation.”    
Basically, what this deals with is a situation where perhaps you're in a nice, deep, self
hypnosis trance. You're drifting away. You're ignoring the outside world for awhile and 
your house catches fire. At that point, it would probably be a very good thing for you to 
come out of self-hypnosis and deal with the situation, rather than spending the next ten 
minutes in trance whilst the house burns around you.  
Time & Place
 You choose a time and a place. You create a safety statement where you choose a time. 
“For the next ten minutes I'm going to go into hypnosis, and should at any point during 
this self-hypnosis procedure something require my attention, an emergency or otherwise, 
I'll come back out feeling refreshed, relaxed, alert, instantly, so that I can deal with the 
situation quickly and efficiently.” That’s the preparation phase of it.  
Step 2: Prehypnotic Suggestions 
Now you're going to go into the official prehypnotic phase, in which you take out the 
suggestion that you’ve prepared previously. You’ve written it out on a little piece of 
paper and you're going to read it to yourself between five and ten times. Sometimes you'll 
get the feeling that just once is enough. Sometimes you may want to do it a few more 
times, but basically what you're doing at this point is filling your mind up with that 
suggestion.  
Don’t just fill up with the words. The words aren’t the really important part. The really 
important part is the meaning behind the words. Treat your prehypnotic suggestion slip as 
a kind of exercise in philosophy and ask yourself, “What do you mean?”  
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
68
 Make sure that those words represent the entire SMART goal, the things that you thought 
about going in, the things that you want to avoid, everything that goes around, that gets 
activated every time you read the prehypnotic suggestion. It becomes like a little red 
light, a little button that lights up all the associations you have to that. You want to get 
your mind really around it. You want to fill your mind completely with that idea before 
you begin with hypnosis, so that this is like the dominant idea that is inside your mind as 
you go into hypnosis.  
Of course, just like when you’ve had a really busy day or a day with a really dominant 
theme and you end up going to sleep at night and dreaming about that, so the same is true 
in hypnosis. When you fill your mind up with some dominant ideas or dominant theme 
and you go into self-hypnosis, that dominant idea will be the guiding theme throughout 
your self-hypnosis session.  
Step 3: Induce Trance 
Then you induce a trance. I'll describe to you in a moment how you do this. Then once 
you're in a trance, you just allow yourself to drift. Don’t do anything in particular.  
Step 4: Drift 
You may have a kind of hypnotic dream, a kind of a daydream about the things that you 
thought about. That’s fine. You may think about different things. That’s fine. You may 
not think that you're thinking about anything at all, and that is also fine.  
The key idea is to allow your unconscious mind freedom to express itself and do with the 
suggestions whatever it wants to. It needs to absorb them in its own way. Just drift 
around. Enjoy the experience. It will be very pleasant.  
Step 5: Return 
Then at the end of the time, return. How do you know it's time to return? You'll kind of 
get a feeling. You'll get a sense that it's time for your eyes to open. Maybe a little voice 
will tell you that your ten minutes are up, or your fifteen minutes are up. You may get 
some other version of this.  
Importantly, when you get a sense that it's time to return, just bring yourself back. Just 
allow yourself to kind of notice where your legs are, your feet are, your hands; bring 
yourself back into your body. Open your eyes. Take a few deep breaths, and you'll 
probably want to stand up and have a nice big stretch to make sure that everything is back 
in its normal place.  
Priming Your Inner Clock 
At this point, you will want to have a quick look at your watch to check how long you 
were in hypnosis. Some of you will go into self-hypnosis and you'll hit it right on the 
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
69
 button. In other words, every time that you do this—and let's say you're going to spend 
15 minutes in trance—you’ll come back out and exactly 15 minutes will have passed. 
That will be a certain amount of you as you try that.  
Some of you will miss on the time. In other words, you'll do it a little bit too short or a 
little bit too long. Really don’t concern yourself about this just now. Just note the time. 
Just go, “Uh huh. That was the time. That’s how long it really took.” Next time when you 
do your preparation phase again, tell yourself, “Ten minutes, twelve minutes,” whatever, 
and really focus on the time.  
What will happen over repetition is that your unconscious mind will begin to hook up 
clock time with internal time. When you hook up clock time with internal time, you'll be 
able to basically tell the time any time of day, wherever you are, just by listening to your 
unconscious mind. It can be very, very accurate. 
I'll give you an example of how this works. I have not used an alarm clock since I think it 
was 1995, when I first learned this method. Since that day I have not used an alarm clock, 
ever. I just use my unconscious mind and tell it when to wake me up in the mornings. 
This is how good you can get.  
Summary Of The 5 Steps 
The stages again:  
1. Prepare: get a time and place where you'll be left undisturbed, create a safety 
statement and a time statement, “I'm going to go into hypnosis for the next 12 
minutes. If at any point in time during this 12 minutes an emergency should arise 
or some other reason comes that needs my attention on the outside, I will 
instantly wake up feeling refreshed, relaxed, alert, and ready to deal with 
whatever requires my attention.” 
2. Then you'll go to your prehypnotic statement. You will read your card aloud, 
along the lines of, “It is the 12th of February 2050. I have a bank account with 50 
million dollars in it and I'm very happy.” You read that through, and you read 
through and get the full emotion of that. You read through over and over again. 
You fill your mind with that experience.  
3. Once you’ve got that experience dominating inside your mind, you'll go through 
the trance process.  
4. You'll drift, allowing your unconscious mind to do whatever it wants. Then you 
return. You stretch. You check the time. You’re done. 
There is a slight alternative to this version. The alternative is, instead of drifting during 
the trance phase allowing your unconscious mind to do whatever it wants to do, you can 
instead use your visualization at this point to really rehearse the outcome or the skill that 
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
70
 you want to have. This is particularly useful, by the way, if you want to improve a certain 
skill.  
Use your prehypnotic suggestion, for example. “My golf swing is improving more and 
more. I have a perfect golf swing.”  
At that point when you go into the trance, instead of drifting you just imagine all the 
movements of that golf swing. You may only imagine it first in slow motion, so you'll 
have everything being in perfect alignment. You might get the feel, the angle of your 
hips, everything put in place.  
You repeat it over and over and over again for as long as your time allows.  
5. When you get a sense that your time has run out, you come back out. Like 
before, have a quick stretch and check the time on your watch. Just make sure 
that your unconscious mind can hook up clock time with internal time. 
How To Go Into Self Hypnosis 
Track 6 4:38 
Now that you understand the procedure, how are you going to actually induce a trance in 
yourself?  
The good news is that everything you’ve learned so far still counts. That means all the 
inductions that you’ve learned about so far can still be used to induce a trance in yourself 
right now. It will work really well.  
To make things easier for you I'm going to show you one more method, a method which 
is going to make it much easier and simpler to go into self-hypnosis. It has a whole bunch 
of interesting things built into it, as well.  
This method is based on the iMethod, which is a kind of mind training program that you 
can put yourself through in order to basically achieve all the other things you want out of 
life. It’s a much more involved method.  
The basic element of the iMethod can be used really easily in order to induce a trance in 
yourself. How do you do this?  
The Step by Step Self Hypnosis Method 
1. Very simply, you begin with eye fixation, as with many of the other methods 
you’ve learned. You'll choose a spot on the wall out in front of you which is 
slightly above eye level, so that your eyes lift up a little bit above the horizontal.  
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
71
 2. The next step is to focus on that spot with utter intensity. You'll find that you'll 
begin to strain a little bit; especially the muscles around the eyes will strain to try 
to get a microscopic focus on that particular spot.  
3. When you feel that strain, just allow the muscles to relax. As you allow the 
muscles around your eyes to relax, typically what will happen is that your vision 
will soften. You'll begin to see more and more of the room. Whereas before, 
when you're concentrating hard you focus down onto that spot, when you soften 
your eyes you begin to see more and more of the things around you. You’re 
activating your peripheral vision.  
This is important, because your peripheral vision is tied directly to something known as 
the relaxation response. You have the stress response and the relaxation response for 
flight or fight, and relaxation. Those are two different parts of neurology, the sympathetic 
and the parasympathetic nervous system, so by going to peripheral vision you're actually 
stimulating the relaxation response in you. As you know, the relaxation is a great 
doorway into hypnosis.  
You're going to fix your attention on a spot on the wall. Focus so intently that you begin 
to screw up your eyes a little bit and get a little bit of tension in your eyes. Then you're 
going to relax all the muscles in your eyes to the point where your vision softens and 
begins to spread out. Allow it to spread out like a pond, so that you have ripples on a 
pond spreading out more and more widely.  
4. Once it’s beginning to spread out enough, you'll notice that your breathing will 
shift. It will change gears. As your vision expands, enjoy the sensation. At the 
right time I will point your attention down to your breathing and you'll notice that 
your breathing has changed. This is a great sign that the relaxation response has 
been triggered.  
5. At that point you can just simply close your eyes and you’re pretty much in a 
nice, comfortable trance state. Now you can drift, or if you prefer you can create 
some lovely visualizations.  
If you find drifting not such a pleasant experience you can use your visualizations, and 
rather than visualizing the goal you can just visualize a really pleasant scene like we 
talked about before, the forest or seaside scene, something that you find very relaxing.  
When you visualize that relaxing scene, of course in the back of your mind your 
unconscious mind is working through those prehypnotic suggestions that you’ve created.  
6. Like before, as soon as you feel that the moment has come to return, just bring 
yourself back refreshed, relaxed, and alert. Stretch. Check the time out and you're 
pretty much done.

 That’s the method that I'm going to take you through. In the next track, I'm going to 
install that method in you by going through a little hypnotic procedure which is going to 
start with this method, and then is going to go into a deeper hypnotic process inside. That 
prehypnotic process will basically condition you to the self-hypnosis process and make it 
easier for you.  
I'm going to use suggestions along the lines that it's going to help you have fun, make it 
more enjoyable, that you can use it every day. It's going to help you rest, and achieve 
your goals, and make you more happy and confident as a person. These are the kinds of 
suggestions I’m going to use, just so you know up front what's going to happen.  
Of course the next track is hypnotic. If you're operating any kind of machinery or driving 
a car, just stop whatever you're doing before you go on to listen. Really focus your 
attention on the installation of this self-hypnosis method. 
Self Hypnosis Installation 
Track 7 20:31 
We’re going to begin the installation of the self-hypnosis method using the iMethod. Just 
make yourself comfortable and select a point on the wall out in front of you, a little bit 
above eye level.  
Select that point and fix all your attention on that point. Begin to make out the minutest 
details that you are capable of at this point in time. Focus all your attention on that point 
and notice how that brings a little bit of strain into your eyes.  
Just relax your eyes. Relax the muscles around your eyes. As you feel the muscles around 
your eyes relaxing you'll notice that your vision tends to expand, like ripples on a pond. 
Allow your vision to expand easily and naturally, as you begin to go into hypnotic 
experience to master the art of self-hypnosis.  
As that vision continues to expand, you can see more and more of the room; perhaps the 
ceiling, the walls and the different colors and textures. There is no need to make any 
distinction anymore between one spot or another, and other things. Just notice how, as 
your vision expands, there is a tendency for your breathing to shift, to calm down, to 
become deeper, more even, easy, and more comfortable. 
As soon as you notice your breathing has shifted just close your eyes. Close your eyes 
and allow that sense of peace and comfort to drift throughout your mind and your body. 
With your eyes closed, I'm going to invite your attention to different parts of your 
experience in order to help you to relax even more deeply into hypnosis, and really 
establish a solid foundation for your ability to use self-hypnosis to achieve any goal that 
you want.

73
 Pay attention to the top of your head; the skin around your scalp and the top of your 
head. As you pay attention to this part of your head you'll notice that it's easy to relax the 
top of your head. As you relax the top of your head you can realize that hypnosis and 
self-hypnosis is easy. It's fun. Self-hypnosis is an enjoyable and comforting experience.  
As you continue to drift ever deeper into a more comfortable state of hypnosis, I would 
like for you to realize the sounds around you really aren’t important. You can hear and 
notice all kinds of things and that just helps you to focus inside. In your eyes for example, 
focus your attention on your eyes, the muscles around your eyelids and feel them relax. 
As the muscles around your eye relax, you can relax all the way down into hypnosis.  
The deeper you go, the more you relax. The sound of my voice will be with you and help 
you to relax even more comfortably, and open your mind to the power of self-hypnosis. 
Self-hypnosis is not just easy but thoroughly enjoyable.  
It's a powerful experience that will allow you to rest and recuperate through all the 
things that have happened in your day, so that in a few minutes of hypnosis you'll have 
the experience of having rested as well and comfortably as an entire nighttime of sleep. 
Your goals can be achieved more easily when you use self-hypnosis to focus your 
attention.  
Just focus your attention now on your shoulders. As you focus, your shoulders begin to 
relax more and more comfortably, more and more deeply, more and more enjoyably, 
letting go of all the stress and tension, and feeling a warm blanket of relaxation, of 
comfort and ease descending upon you. As you feel more and more comfortable, you 
realize how restful and peaceful self-hypnosis is.  
Self-hypnosis is easy, fun, and totally enjoyable. It gives you a tremendous amount of rest 
and ability to recuperate. Because your body knows it's good for you, because your mind 
knows it's good for you and because your unconscious mind knows that self-hypnosis is 
good for you, you'll begin to find yourself practicing self-hypnosis on a daily basis.  
Self-hypnosis is healthy. Self-hypnosis is fun. Self-hypnosis is good for you. You can enjoy 
looking forward to your daily practice of self-hypnosis, a time to recharge your batteries, 
a time to prepare the future, a time to let good things come to you, attracting them like a 
magnet attracts iron filings.  
I would like you to focus on your ribcage and your breathing. Notice how your chest, 
your ribs, and your breathing can relax, even feel the comfort of relaxation; relaxing 
your breathing, relaxing your ribs, your entire chest area.  
As you feel that relaxation, a good, calm, confident feeling can grow inside you because 
in self-hypnosis you're talking directly to your unconscious mind, and that is 
tremendously powerful. It will help you become more confident as a person, healthier, 
and happier. Anything that can be improved in your life can be improved quicker, more

 easily, and with greater fun and amazing results using the power of self-hypnosis. So you 
can use self-hypnosis to achieve all the things that you want.  
Now you're going deeper and deeper, more and more comfortable, more and more 
relaxed. Pay attention to your arms. Feel your arms relaxing, sinking down, loose and 
relaxed, limp, heavy, a wonderful feeling. Because you're feeling so wonderful right now, 
because your body is so relaxed, you're recovering your vitality, you're revitalizing, 
becoming full of energy, happier and more confident.  
Through hypnosis you can become happier and more confident and become happier as a 
person, which means that your confidence grows on a day by day basis. Because self
hypnosis is so easy, because self-hypnosis is so much fun, you might find yourself doing it 
every day, and looking forward to your next opportunity to experience self-hypnosis once 
again.  
Pay attention to your lower abdomen, your hips, and your lower back. The whole lower 
portion of your body can relax just as completely, just as easily, just as comfortably as 
everywhere else. As you're relaxing so comfortably, your unconscious mind is learning 
that in self-hypnosis you learn to relax and become more comfortable as a person, which 
means you become more resilient to life. Resilient people achieve their goals more easily. 
Self-hypnosis helps you achieve your goals more quickly and more easily. 
Already you’ve achieved one important goal. Right now you’re feeling deeply relaxed, 
comfortable, and at ease. You can take that ease and memorize it thoroughly. Find your 
way back to it any time you want or need to.  
You'll find this inner peace and tranquility every single time that you go into self
hypnosis. Your unconscious mind will take your prehypnotic suggestions, your regular 
hypnotic suggestions, your visualizations, and respond to them. In self-hypnosis you can 
program your unconscious mind to do what you want, achieve what you want, overcome 
any problem; lead a happy, rewarding, and successful life. 
Now pay attention to your thighs and the upper portion of your legs. Feel your thighs 
relaxing as I take you deeper and deeper into a very pleasant, very tranquil, very 
peaceful hypnotic trance, in which your unconscious mind begins to acquire mastery over 
this self-hypnosis process.  
Self-hypnosis is easy. Self-hypnosis is fun. Self-hypnosis is deeply enjoyable, which is why 
you can practice self-hypnosis daily, enjoy it daily, and look forward to your next 
opportunity to practice self-hypnosis again. 
Pay attention to your lower legs, your calves, and your feet, and allow these to relax 
thoroughly. As your calves and your feet relax thoroughly, you can enjoy a tremendous 
sense of excitement, of looking forward to using self-hypnosis in your own life, using self
hypnosis as a force for good in your own life. Achieve any goal, overcome any problem,

 become more creative, learn things more quickly. This is all possible through the power 
of self-hypnosis.  
I'm going to count from five down to one, and with each number between five and one 
you're going to go ten times more deeply relaxed, ten times deeper into hypnosis, so that 
by the time I come to the count of one you'll be at the perfect level of hypnosis, the perfect 
level of relaxation in order for your unconscious mind to program in and permanently 
acquire the skill of self-hypnosis for you to use in your whole life.  
Ready now: five, feel going deeper. Four, deeper, deeper, and deeper. Three, all the way 
down into a comfortable, relaxed, amazing hypnotic experience. Two, your unconscious 
mind preparing to absorb the self-hypnosis process. One, deeply relaxed, deep hypnosis. 
Ready to master the self-hypnosis process because from this day forward, anytime that 
you want to go into hypnosis for the purposes of self-hypnosis, you're going to begin by 
preparing yourself.  
You're going to choose a time and a place where they are free from distractions. You'll 
decide on how long you want to go into self-hypnosis and then you'll tell yourself, “I'm 
going to go into self-hypnosis,” and you insert the amount of time.  
“If at any point during this time something should happen on the outside that requires my 
attention, I will awaken instantly feeling refreshed, relaxed, alert; ready to deal with the 
situation.” If there is an emergency or some other reason for you to come out of 
hypnosis, you will do so instantly after preparing yourself, making the time and safety 
statement.  
You're going to break out your prehypnotic suggestions and read through them five, ten, 
twelve times, however often seems right to fill your mind with the idea of the prehypnotic 
suggestion. Then you're going to go into trance, but by looking at the spot on the wall 
slightly above eye level, focusing all your attention until you feel some tension in your 
eyes.  
Then as you relax your eyes, allowing your vision to expand into peripheral vision, allow 
that to continue and your breathing will shift; and you'll feel your breathing shifting. Just 
close your eyes and go deep, deep into hypnosis, as deep as you are now, or deeper still.  
Then you can allow yourself to drift through a pleasant, hypnotic, and tranquil 
experience, or visualize a scene before returning at the right time, the time that you 
determined during the preparation stage. When you return you'll stand up, stretch, and 
look at your watch, so that your unconscious mind can connect your clock time with your 
inner time. It’s as simple as that.  
You prepare yourself by setting a time and making a safety statement. You read through 
your prehypnotic suggestions to fill your mind up and you fix your attention on a point 
just slightly above eye level until you feel a slight tension.  
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
76
 Then you relax your eyes. Let them soften, your vision expanding like ripples on a pond 
until you feel your breathing shifting. When your breathing shifts, simply close your eyes 
and allow yourself to drift through the hypnotic experience, or visualize a calming scene, 
or visualize a goal or a skill.  
When it's time for you to return you'll know, and you'll bring yourself back by 
reanimating your body, reinvigorating yourself. Your breathing will come back to 
normal. Your eyes will open up. You'll open your eyes feeling refreshed, relaxed, alert; 
simply fantastic.  
You'll get up and stretch. Look at the clock so that you can check and coordinate clock 
time with inner time. Now self-hypnosis has been installed in the unconscious level. It's 
easy to do. It's easy to remember, and it's fun to go through life using self-hypnosis.  
Now, in a moment I'm going to count from one to five. At the count of five you'll come 
back out of trance feeling refreshed, relaxed, alert, simply fantastic; knowing that self
hypnosis has been induced at the deepest unconscious level.  
Every time you go into self-hypnosis it will be easier to use self-hypnosis. It will be more 
fun and more enjoyable, and you can look forward to using self-hypnosis on a daily basis 
to improve yourself and enjoy all the benefits that self-hypnosis has to offer.  
So as I count from one to five you will become more and more alert. At the count of five 
your eyes will open up. You'll feel refreshed, relaxed, alert, simply fantastic; knowing 
that you have self-hypnosis and you can find your way back to it any time you want.  
Ready now: one, coming up slowly. Two, feeling more alert. Three, your breathing is 
beginning to shift. Four, allow your sensations to come back to your hands, your feet, all 
the normal sensations; and five, open your eyes feeling refreshed, relaxed, alert, simply 
fantastic.  
Take a few moments to orient yourself, and congratulate yourself for having installed 
self-hypnosis successfully at the unconscious level.   
Self Hypnosis Debrief 
Track 8 1:41 
Congratulations and welcome back. That induction allowed you to install the self
hypnosis process inside of yourself, so that your unconscious mind gets used to the habit 
and the way of doing it.  
The way you can basically condition yourself to be able to use self-hypnosis constantly is 
very simple. Go back to the previous track and listen to it several times, maybe once a 
day. If you have time, maybe twice a day. Each time just allow your mind to go to that 
special calm, relaxed, and tranquil state.  
© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com
77
 As you do this, the actual experience of hypnosis will be conditioned inside of you and 
make it easier for you to find again. Then when you think you’ve found it, in other words 
when you have been guided through it a few times and you're kind of familiar with the 
territory, I would like for you to go on to the next track.  
How To Do Self Hypnosis By Yourself 
On the next track I'm going to basically give you the beginning part of that process again, 
without the ending. This time, instead of guiding you all the way through I'm just going 
to point out the steps of the process, roughly in time with when they will happen. You, of 
course, end up doing the steps in the process this way.  
This way you kind of wean yourself off the main induction and you begin to slowly go 
under hypnosis under your own steam. Eventually you can even let go of the following 
track, the one that I've got for you, and you'll still be able to go into hypnosis any time 
you want or need to. As soon as you have a little bit of experience with the installation 
induction, just go on to the next track and see how far you can go under your own steam. 
The Self Hypnosis Live Practice Assistant 
Track 9 2:48 
This is the live assistant to help you on your steps to using self-hypnosis by yourself, 
whenever you want to. Just make yourself comfortable and begin the preparation phase 
for self-hypnosis. In other words, tell yourself how long you want this hypnotic session to 
last. “This hypnotic session is going to last five minutes,” let's say.  
Then remind yourself of the safety statement. ”If at anytime during the course of this 
hypnosis session you should need to come back and be fully alert for an emergency, or if 
someone else needs your attention, you'll come back instantly feeling refreshed, relaxed, 
alert; ready to deal with the situation in hand.” Very good.  
Now pick up your prehypnotic suggestions on a piece of paper and read through them a 
few times. I'll be silent for a few minutes to give you a chance to read through them a few 
times. 
[silence] 
Very good. Now if you should need more time to read through your prehypnotic 
suggestions, just pause this recording for a while and start it up again as soon as you're 
ready to begin with the induction. 
To begin the induction, make yourself comfortable. Choose a spot above eye level and 
focus your attention on it until you feel sudden tension. That’s right. Now relax your eyes 
until you can begin to see more and more of the room. Very good.

 Continue to relax your eyes until you begin to sense your breathing shifted. Pay attention 
to that breathing, and then just simply close your eyes and continue the rest of the 
hypnotic process by yourself, until you're ready to bring yourself back out. 
How To Practice Self Hypnosis 
Track 10 3:17 
If you have followed this program step by step up to this point, then by now you will 
have installed self-hypnosis at an unconscious level and even practiced going into self
hypnosis, following the rough guide in the previous track. Now you have everything you 
need in order to be able to achieve all the different goals and use the power of self
hypnosis in your own life.  
The only question that remains is, how do you practice? How often do you do it and 
when and where do you do it?  
When & Where To Practice 
The simple answer to this is you can practice as often as you like, really. However, once 
you hit three sessions per day you kind of hit diminishing returns. I would say try to 
practice at least once a day, and go up to no more than three sessions a day. If you decide 
you want to do that, maybe do some in the morning, maybe at lunchtime, and in the 
evening.  
How long should the session be?  
I would say spend at least five minutes, and go into as long as fifteen minutes if you 
want. You can spend longer if you want, half an hour or an hour, but really five to fifteen 
minutes is an ideal time. Always choose the time ahead of time, and remind yourself in 
the preparation how long you wish to take.  
Stay Alert 
Remember the key thing is that you remain kind of alert as you drift through this trance. 
You do not want to be falling asleep and waking up an hour or so later. If that happens, 
don’t concern yourself with it. Just remember to be more aware. You're looking for a 
receptive mind, not a mind that’s asleep.  
When your mind is receptive you're kind of aware of things, but it's sort of a detached 
state where nothing really matters, where nothing is really important. It feels good and it's 
very comfortable. When you're asleep, of course—well, you should know what it's like to 
be asleep.

Practice Regularly 
79
 The final idea that I want to leave you with is the idea of practicing regularly. It's better to 
do five minutes a day every day than that you save it all up into maybe half an hour over 
the weekend or an hour once a month. So five minutes a day of regular practice is the 
best. One way to achieve this is to choose a time of day that you do it.  
Perhaps you're at your freshest in the morning when you get up. That’s the perfect time to 
do it. Perhaps you're at your freshest in the evening. If you're an evening person, do it 
then.  
Perhaps it doesn’t really matter what time of day you do it, and then it doesn’t matter; in 
which case I would strongly suggest that you still pick a time and do it at the same time 
every day. You see, the unconscious mind is a creature of habit and the more you can 
create a habit—the same place, the same time, the same environment—the more the 
unconscious mind kind of gets used to the ritual, when we just do it.  
If you’ve got a crazy schedule where you sometimes come in late, sometimes come in 
early, and you really can't say what time you'll have spare to do self-hypnosis, the two 
times which are ideal to choose will be just after you wake up and just before you go to 
bed. These are two times that will always be set in your life, no matter how crazy your 
schedule is. You'll always be going to bed at some point and you'll always be getting up 
at some point.  
With these thoughts, all I have left to do is to wish you all the best success in using the 
power of hypnosis in your own life.
