Hypnotic Inductions: Dave Elman Method

Hypnotic Induction Techniques


Dave Elman Method

Gil Boyne Version (Two-Finger Technique)

Spoken to the subject


For the moment, rest your arms limply on your thighs, just like this
(demonstrate position to subject). Now I want you to look out here at my
hand. In a moment I'm going to bring my hand up in front of your eyes like
this. (Demonstrate bringing index and middle finger of right hand, in a
pointing V position, to a position just above their eyebrows) When I do,
I'll pass my hand down in front of your eye. Keep your eyes fixed on my
fingers. As I pass my hand down, let your eyelids close down. (Bring hand
straight down, one finger moving down over each eye)


(Move fingers to a pointing V position just above eyebrows so they have to
look up at an angle to see fingertips) All right, now fix your eyes on my
fingers. Now I'm passing my hand down in front of your eyes, and as I do,
let your eyelids close down. (Move hand straight down, one finger moving
down over each eye)


Now your eyelids are closed down. I want you to relax every tiny muscle
and nerve in and around your eyelids. I want you to relax them so much
that they wouldn't work even if you wanted them to.


Now, when you know that you've relaxed them that much that they wouldn't
work even if you wanted them to, test them; you'll see you've been
completely successful. Now, relax them so much that they wouldn't work
even if you wanted them to. Now test them; you'll see you've been
completely successful. (If they open their eyes, tell them to relax them
again, this time more completely and test again. If they don't open their
eyes, pause three seconds and continue)


All right, that's fine. Now, stop trying and just relax and go deeper now.
Now I'm going to raise your hand. I will do it by grasping your right
thumb in my fingers like this. (Grasp thumb between thumb and index finger
-- make sure you grasp the correct thumb) As I lift your hand, just let it
hang limply in my fingers (Optional: slightly rock arm back and forth)
Then, when I drop it, let it drop like a wet, limp rag. When you hand
touches your body, as it drops, send a wave or relaxation from the top of
your head all the way down to the tips of your toes. That will double your
present level of relaxation.


(Lift hand, optionally rocking it) Now, I'm raising your hand. That's it,
let it hang limply. That's good. Now, when I drop it, let it drop like a
limp, wet rag, and as it touches your body, send a wave of relaxation from
the top of your head to the tip of your toes. (Drop hand) That's good.


Now, we'll do that again with the left hand. Now I'm going to pick up your
left hand, and as I take your thumb, just let it hang limply. (Optional:
slightly rock arm back and forth) That's good; now you're getting the
idea. When I drop it, let it drop like a wet, limp rag. When it touches
your body, send another wave or relaxation from the top of your head to
the tips of your toes and double your present level of relaxation. (Drop
hand) That's good.


Now, your body is relaxed and I'm going to show you how to relax your
mind. Listen very carefully. The next time I touch your forehead, I want
you to begin counting from one hundred backward in this way: One hundred,
deeper asleep. Ninety-nine, deeper asleep. Ninety-eight, deeper asleep,
and so on. After counting just a few numbers, by the time you reach
ninety-seven, or ninety-six, or maybe, at the most, ninety-five, you will
find those numbers disappearing. You will find your mind has become so
relaxed that you'll just relax them out of your mind.


All right, get ready now, three, two, one. (Tap subject on forehead) Begin
counting. (Listen to them count down. Based upon the rate of speed, you
may say the following statement) Good, slow them down now. (After each
count, say one of the following) good/fine. (After the count of
ninety-seven say) Start relaxing them out of your mind. (After several
more counts, based on how the subject is performing, say) Let them relax
out of your mind right now. (After another count) Let them fade away
completely.


(After subject has stopped counting, continue with) That's fine, You've
relaxed your body; you've relaxed your mind; you've gone into a much
deeper state of hypnosis.


(Use a deepening technique and test subject)
