Hi...
I see a lot of people clicking their fingers next to the subject's ears as they deepen the state of hypnosis.
What's the deal with this deepener? What does it do?

Thanks

Then for example, for visual people I can distract their concious mind by making them imagine something.

For auditory people I can distract the concious mind by a sound (snapping fingers for example)

And for kinesthesic people I can distract their concious mind by touching their shoulder for example.

(O,G the same)

Am I correct?
For me it is just another input feed for me to pace and lead.

My 2 cents on this somewhat sandpaper-esque day:

You will see a lot of things done in videos, and a lot of it is done poorly or without reason, or as a mimic of something someone saw else where and is now enshrined as a personal sacred cow...

When you say: "In a moment I will snap my fingers and the sound of my fingers snapping will feel deeply pleasant and be a signal to send you deeper into desired state>> " and then you snap you are setting up an auditory anchor.

You can reinforce with "Each and every time you hear the sound of my fingers snapping, you will instantly become this desired state -ed>> (relaxed, aroused, whatever)"

Is this authoritarian? Yes... Should you use it right away? If it works.

Forget "distract" .. distract from what? Guide and establish aquiecense, and your command is their wish. If you set things up correctly, use your linkage, and they will expect the result, and regardless of their usual distaste for people snapping at them, they will be in a whole new situation where this is perfectly acceptable...

Very well put Jonathan.
You're on the correct path my friend.

What are we going to distract them from?

Maybe if unannounced street hypnosis like Mayajid, he may distract them of they're putting them like a statue, but you could tell another thing while you do that, like giving relaxing suggestions (I think)

Good night, I'm going out, later I come,

see you

Good post I agree with your post about the reinfircement of the snapping of the fingers.
I agree Jonathan. My understanding is that snapping of the fingers is like a starting gun. It lets the subject's subconscious know when to begin... further snapping acts as an amplifier or reiteration of the signal to begin.

Hi Anthony

Hows it going? Curious about what you mean by this - could you expand on it a little?

Cheers

Hi James,

Going well thanks. I'd love to chat about coming down to give a presentation to your group sometime.

I posted recently in length about pacing and leading in the 'Reality is Plastic' group here.

Once I have gone through the motions of an induction I think it is quite important to keep talking and one of the ways find my words is by pacing, pacing and pacing some more. I pace what I am doing 'As I continue to talk and...' I pace what the subject is doing 'As your head drops forward...with each deep breath you take', I pace what is going on around us 'Every outside sound...' and I throw in other things I can pace and too clicking fingers and rocking their body being examples 'Each time I click my fingers...as I rock your shoulder...'

Of course these things are then linked to encouraging what they are doing that I think is of value (exhibiting signs of trance) and what I want to happen.

I also feel it is useful as part of the sensory overload similar to making random unexplained prods in the back of a subject prior to doing a drop back and that is why often my clicking moves from one side to the other.

It is also useful when fractionating with eyes open and eyes closed as it guarantees the eyes will close.

Anthony
O.K., I get you. you are creating a stimulus and then pacing it. cool.

And I'll definitely give you a bell about coming down for the NLP group. We are also doing a hypnosis practise group now, so if we did a combined thing we should get some pretty good numbers.

Speak soon

James
