The first thing you need to know is that hypnosis is a very natural state. It requires no
special power to hypnotise someone. If you can talk you can hypnotise. In fact, it is such
a natural state that people go into hypnosis regularly without even realising it. The most
common natural states occur while gazing into the flames of a fire or driving (it’s that
moment when you suddenly realise that you are unsure as to which route you have just
driven home!) If you were to listen to some positive suggestions while in these naturally
occurring trance states they would have an effect on you… so be aware of commercial
radio on long journeys!#
When you intentionally hypnotise someone what you are doing is operating the switch
that puts them into this natural state at a time of your (and their) choosing, so that you
can use it productively.
