Eye Fixation Hypnosis Induction
Look into my eyes... hypnosis
Eye Fixation Hypnosis
The Eye Fixation Hypnosis Induction is one of the basic inductions you have to learn. Eye Fixation hypnosis is probably the oldest hypnosis induction. It was invented by James Braid himself. Braid was the first clinical hypnotist, and also invented the word 'hypnosis'.
Eye Fixation Hypnosis is based on a physical effect in your body. If you stare at anything long enough, your eyes will get tired. Try it.
You will find that your eyes feel scratchy, your vision blurs, or your eyes start watering. This is what happens to everyone when you don't blink.
You turn this natural process into an induction by claiming you are causing it by the power of your mind. You claim this is proof of hypnosis.
If you tell the person "All these changes are happening because I am making them happen", most people will believe you. People don't often stare at a point, so they don't realize what is happening to them.
It works well with most people. This is because you can use it anywhere. You don't need special preparation, and it looks good in front of an audience. It is simple to learn. It does not need any special words or memorization.
It is a special case of a Pace and Lead induction. It is fun to use at a dinner party. Get a friend to stare at a candle flame, and as the flame flickers, say "your eyes are getting tired, and want to close". Then say, "your eyes are locked shut", and you have a great party stunt.
Another powerful example of suggestion is to tell someone to hold their hand up and spread their fingers. Say "your fingers will start twitching and coming together because of the power of my mind". It will happen, and it will convince everyone that you have special powers. Try it now. Your fingers will mysteriously come together.
Although it is easy, this induction can go wrong. You must learn to keep control of the situation. You need to be ready with another induction if your subject does not respond as you expect.
Eye fixation hypnosis does not work well with people who are skeptical of hypnosis. Many people notice their eyes defocusing or drifting off the point. They remember they are supposed to focus on the point. So they start to control their eyes to keep them fixed on the point. Making a conscious effort like that takes them right out of trance.
If you don't take charge, you get a client with their eyes wide open staring at nothing. They are trying to see non-existent changes and their mind is rejecting what you are saying. You can learn to recognize the signs, and avoid them.
Get lots of practice and you will master it completely.
