The five touches are used to emphasize positive resources, and to create triggers for those positive resources. It is important to ask permission to touch before inducing a trance, it is part of the “hypnotic contract”. In general, it is a good idea to avoid touching knee and/or leg because many people consider it too personal.

You should get in the habit of putting all the elements of BP1 right after putting someone into trance, and putting all the elements of BP2 just before bringing someone out of trance. Sounds-Around-You Wherever you perform hypnosis, there is a good chance that sounds will occur. Whether it is the ticking of a clock, the hum of an air conditioner, a door opening and closing, people talking, a fire engine siren passing by, you can use any sound that occurs to your © 2008 (Under License) Streethypnosis Publishing, All Rights Reserved

benefit when you suggest that any sound they hear will simply bring them deeper into hypnosis. My-Voice… When people go into trance, they may go off on their own journey without you. To keep control of the experience, you should begin with a suggestion that your voice will follow them, that wherever they go, they will always hear your voice while they are in trance. Sanctuary It is important that people feel safe, and that they can trust you. Again, you can use physical sensations to anchor a feeling of safety. If they are sitting in a chair, simply giving them a suggestion that they feel safe as they feel the chair beneath them really enhances their sense of trust. In addition, this physical anchor is very important for safely bringing them back to reality if they have an abreaction, which you will learn about later. The sanctuary is also an important place for people to experience, a place in their mind where they feel safety and security. In this way, they know that whatever happens, they have a place they can return to whenever they need. This allows them to move from a place of safety, so they can confidently explore their hypnotic experience. If they start out in a state of fear, they may hesitate to follow your instructions, and they may give themselves unproductive experiences, blocking real change. Self-Esteem The world would be a better place if everyone felt better about themselves, so go ahead and give everyone you hypnotise the gift of self esteem. Not only are you helping them, you are making the world a better place, one person at a time. Post-Hypnotic-Praise Many people may have doubts about if they were really in hypnosis. Telling them how good they did reinforces that what they experienced was hypnosis, and that alone increases the effectiveness of your suggestions.
