The Magic Of NLP Hypnosis
NLP hypnosis is a popular form of NLP to practice. In fact NLP was founded by modeling three people, one of them was Milton Erickson. When he was alive he was the world’s greatest hypnotist, which is why Bandler met and studied his techniques.
It was said the Erickson beleived he could hypnotize anyone and it certainly seemed so. When people would listen to played back tapes from sessions he would have with clients, the researchers themselves would become hypnotized. This is why studying him was a problem.
It was said his tone and tempo had a great affect on anyone entering the room. He would distract you by telling stories for a while and before you know it you would be in a trance.
Bandler used Erickson’s successful techniques and modeled them creating NLP hypnosis.
NLP hypnosis takes 4 main skills to master. The first one is calibration. This is a skill where you have to quickly read and assess a person’s mind. Master NLP practitioners can quickly size you up at the beginning of a session through just a few observations or questions. One example of calibration you see on a regular basis is poker games. The card players are trying to assess each other’s hands just by their facial experssions and posture.
The second nlp hypnosis skill is detection of patterns. Patterns are a big foundation of NLP and this kind of leads off from calibration. By observing patterns in peoples lives you can quickly learn where they are going wrong.
The thrid skill to master for NLP hypnosis is proper questioning. Ask the right question and you get the right answer. This is where masters and novices in hypnosis leave each other. To watch a great NLP practioner ask questions is an art form. Great questions can quickly cut through some one’s conscious clutter and get right to the subconscious.
The fourth skill to master is being able to read the eyes of the patient. NLP believes that when people look in a certain direction they are accessing a different part of their brain or memory. In latter posts I will go into what each quadrant of the eye means when the person looks there.
NLP hypnosis is great because it can produce rapid cures from phobias and other problems. Self hypnosis is a great way for you to improve your life as well.
