Basics of the Hypnotic Process
The Induction
The Deeping
The Suggestion
The Awaking
For each of the above sections there are many, many subsections, but in its most simplistic form all the hypnosis programs follow these main sections. We will look at each so that the understanding is clear and you will be able to recognize them when you see them.
Let’s put this in a way that we all can understand:
1. The Induction
This is the freeway; remember that Hypnosis is the car; you have to have a road for the car to follow! So the Induction becomes the way for the car to run, in fact you are Talking someone to a dream state, of course it is with their consent. But they are looking for you to take them there. This must be done with great care, because without taking the correct freeway you will never end up where you want to go.
2. The Deeping
This is the mall; the location to which you must be for the next step to be effective. You have to make this location real! So real that the still active Critical mind, because it never really leaves, yes you are bypassing it but not getting rid of it and anything that it feels is not correct will end the process right there, that’s why no one is under the power of a hypnotist, the wording must be put in a way that can be accepted that this is not just a pretend place, but a very real place.
3. The Suggestion
This is the store; this is where the meat of the matter is done, due to the process of the Induction and the Deeping the client will be in the Alpha/Theta (or deeper state) of brain wave, this is where the input is given. These suggestions should have already been gone over with the client in the interview portion, so the client already has an idea as to what is being inputted, per his/her consent.
4. The Awaking
Welcome to the check out stand: this is the area that the final post-hypnotic suggestions are done, the awaking must be done slow and with care. Remembering to remove any feeling of heaviness or feeling of “being overly relaxed in the normal state”, the main point here is to return them to a normal state of the dominate beta brain wave. You want to leave them feeling refreshed and alert!
I will go into each of these sections in more depth , but for now this will give you a basic line of thinking, and you will see all the books you read really do follow this.

Q- What is Hypnotic Therapeutics?
A- Hypnotic Therapeutics is the use of suggestion to fix in the mind thoughts of health or and healthy mental habits, using Hypnotic induction to reach the subconscious. A Scientifically proven state, in which the brain waves relax to the Alpha/Theta wave pattern.
Q- How does it work?
A- It is based on the scientific relationship between the brain/mind and the body’s function, how we think has a direct effect on how we feel, and what we do. How we feel has a direct effect on how we see our life, and the view of others on our life.
Q- What do you have to do?
A- The key to it working is; allowing yourself to have the feeling of day dreaming, to allow yourself to do what I suggest, for what starts out as a feeling of day dreaming will become a deep feeling of change.
Even if you "think" it’s not real, go with it. Allow yourself to find out just what will happen next. DON'T STOP THE PROCESS.
For Hypnotic Therapeutics to be effective there's only one thing that must be in place. That is cooperation... You do not surrender your self-responsibility; you are taking control of your self-responsibility

So the destination is the subconscious mind, which is what? There is a part of our thinking which appears totally Automatic, things we do with out the benefit of thought, but in truth this part of our thinking has been set for us by many outside sources. Yes, it does benefit us in many ways, Such as breathing, keeping our heart beat steady and strong ,keeping our human body working as a well oiled machine, but it also is what allows us to drive a stick shift car, or walking in a dark room in our house, it’s the part that guides without reasoning all the things we have learned to do as part of our everyday life and it’s this part of the brain waves that the Hypnotist inputs by repetitive statements and though suggestive wording positive changes that will affect your everyday life in many beneficial ways.
The subconscious mind is the storage locker for our emotions and reactions to the world we live in, we need to have the function of an Autopilot, the conscious mind can only hold so much, and that which is deemed as routine is moved to the subconscious mind. The movements needed to perform your daily skills, old memories that have occurred good or bad are imprinted here. This is the mind of the imagination, of dreams, of insights. At the same time this is the mind of defense, it enacts the emotions as reactions to the surroundings we find ourselves in. This state of subconscious does not think by logic, only by reactions, it has no judgment as to the reactions, it does not separated between good and bad it only reacts! And most of these reactions have been taught to us by the world we live in, of what we have been told over and over as correct.
Take for example the subject of tattoos, at one time we were told over and over that anyone with tattoos was someone to be avoided at all cost, they were the underbelly of the world, and our reactions followed suit. Now this reaction has changed because the Input has changed. It’s this emotional teaching that has resulted in the hate in the races, and if you look around you can see how this Inputting is done everyday to our unknowing mind.
It also should be noted here that the subconouis mind has also the imprint of chemical needs, and many things we see as Habits are the calling for these chemicals that we have been imprinted as needing. On the other side of things is the Muscle imprint that helps us in the simple task of walking or the more complex task of Yoga.
In many ways the art of Hypnosis does fall within the realm of the persons imagination, yet as we have noted here, science has proven the fact that the brain has the ability to changed its elecical state, the process of Hypnosis is to assist you in reaching and staying in the Alpha/Theta (or deeper) state of mind, which suggestions that are given are accepted as solid fact of the biological human being, and as such the suggestions do affect the Automatic thinking and can change ones entire life.

Now just to touch the science of this a bit: like I stated before, it has been established that there are at least 4 levels of brain waves. They were found by the use of the electroencephalography or EEG, which measure the electric potential of the brain. These waves are measure as repetitive waves this is called the Frequency of the wave the measurement is called Hertz (Hz).
1. Beta 14-40 Hz
This is the frequency of being Wide Awake! And is reflected in the sympathetic Nervous system. The Logic thinking /Critical faculty. This is the wave that reflects the highest reading of blood pressure.
2. Alpha 8-13 Hz
This is the frequency of being relaxed and calm, the beginning stage of the Parasympathetic Nervous system, starting to bypass the Critical faculty of thinking. This is the door way into the subconscious. The blood pressure falls with in the ideal level.
3. Theta 4-7 Hz
This is the frequency of being in deep relaxation the point of great insights. Blood pressure falls into the low end of the scale, the Parasympathetic Nervous is in the dominate position
4. Delta .5-3.5 Hz
This is the frequency of being in a very deep sleep. The point where the body rebuilds itself. Blood pressure is low, breathing slowly.
The general rule is the lower your brainwave the more your awareness is turned toward your subjective experience, toward your inner world and the more effectively are you able to use the power of your mind to create changes in your body. With each lower state you become more fully aligned with the source of your subconscious. And this is where Hypnosis the car, takes you.
Your brain is working with these frequencies of waves, day and night; the key is which is dominating at any one time. Sometimes it’s hard to tell, such as your mind is using largely the Alpha wave when you’re driving your car, but yet if you’re talking on your phone (hands free of course) then the Beta waves are also active.
We have all heard of the phrase “ being in the Zone” , when a runner is running he/she is not thinking of running, if he/she was thinking about taking every step in the run the run would not go very well, but when he/she enters the Alpha level the run becomes automatic. Yet the Beta level is also active to keep you from turning the wrong way!

Beginning the Journey

To start out with, the word Hypnosis is very much the same as a car; it takes you to a destination. Hypnosis is not the destination itself, only the means to get there, and like cars, there are many models to choice from. The Destination is the subconscious mind, so as in many journeys you must start out with the explanation as to the vehicle in which you are going to take.
So just what is this vehicle called Hypnosis? Really when you break it down to the basic thought, the word only describes ways to reach a specific state of mind. Many who have a basic knowledge of Hypnosis tend think it started with Dr Mesmer, the process is far older than that, reaching back to the Greek Physicians, and you may think of it this way that Dr Mesmer came up with the Model A of cars. At the time that He became involved, the art of Hypnosis was taking place on the streets as a form of entertainment you can think of this of the time of the horse and buggy, due to Dr Mesmer’s reputation and his background as a well known scholar matched together with his charisma is what worked to bring the process to the light of many wealthy People.
Now just like the Car, Hypnosis has gone though many, many changes and ending up with many different ways to drive to the destination. But it’s still the Car none the less. So now we need to understand just how does this Car work and why. Hypnosis is the means to reach a specific state of mind, or put another way a specific Brain wave. Scientist has established there are at least 4 levels of brain waves, Beta/Alpha/Theta and Delta. We will return to these later, but for now let’s get back to the Car.
The process of Hypnosis is a method of connecting with the Nervous System, there are two main types of the Autonomic nerves: Sympathetic and Parasympathetic, the Sympathetic is the part one needs to deal with dangerous situations or you can state it’s a stage of high alert, and operates when we are under a lot of stress, the Parasympathetic system works when we are calm and in a healing situation, this is the state of relaxation. These two systems are directly related to the systolic and diastolic reading of blood pressure levels. And these are directly related to the level of Brain wave which is dominate at any one time.
A trained Hypnotist can assist you, with your consent, in accessing the Parasympathetic Nervous system. At no time are you under the control of anyone but you, you can stop the process at any time you wish. The Hypnotist can help you in many ways, but in all of these different models one thing is common, that is the ability to help in focusing on one thought at a time, by giving yourself permission to follow the suggestions that are being given to you, your blood pressure will lower, your breathing slower and your inward focus will increase, the muscle system will release and relax. These are all the elements of the Parasympathetic system.

This question is why did I change the name to Beginning the Journey? Well as I was thinking about this it came to me. Everyday is a new beginning , and every step we take no matter what it is, yoga , meditation , hypnosis, Zen just what ever, its all just the step to the beginning to the grand journey.
Sometimes these changes to the journey are filled with heart ack, death, separation, loss of money house car or some over the top tragic situation, something we could not foresee or change, it just happens. So now what? We keep trying. That is the fact of it, no matter what we persist in the push to the journey.
You see the journey is the car, just like Hypnosis is the car, it takes us someplace, now where is that place? It is what I call the “next” nothing known or that can be known, just “next”, as in the movie Peaceful Warrior, the point is made that the journey is the point, not where you end up at! Are you so busy looking at the back of your hand you can not see that life its self is at your finger tips? It’s so easy to over look the enjoyment of life when the drama seems so heavy, and that’s why I changed the name of this blog. To give all of us, just a moment to SEE LIFE, to ENJOY LIFE.
Now hopefully (and it is my dream) that some of the information here helps in some way people who want to enjoy life. I once wrote: There are those who only wish to LIVE LIFE, There are those who wish to UNDERSTAND LIFE, There are those who wish to UNDERSTAND HOW TO LIVE LIFE. I write for those who want so much to understand just how to love to live life.
With respect: Namaste
