Hypnosis Rapid Induction

This is an adaptation of some posts from my own blog on The Mental Game found at www.mikemargolies.com
I recently made fourteen Hypnosis / Guided Imagery for Sports mp3s for a company called XXXX. I removed both the link and company name to comply with rules. I’ve already written that my involvement in hypnosis goes back maybe 40 years. I have used hypnosis with athletes and others individually and in groups. But until two weeks ago I never had did an active demonstration with an audience. So here is the story.
The day before Thanksgiving I did a lecture and demonstration for the Issaquah High School Psychology classes. My son is in the class and I have known the teacher for 10 years or so. This was the first time that I had volunteered to come into his class. I wanted to provide the students with something interesting that would get them thinking about how important psychology is to sports and other types of performance. I knew from talking with my son that this would be of interest to his class. His teacher Josh Moore was excited to have me in to provide a real link to his students on applied psychology. I asked him if as part of the presentation he would like to be hypnotized.
He had seen stage hypnosis before, but had never had a directed experience. I thought I would be just coming into class one day and do a short demo. Instead Mr Moore asked me to come in on a short day prior to Thanksgiving. This gave him control of time and place. So instead of meeting in the classroom he set it up that I would do the lecture in the brand new Issaquah High School Theater with three sections of students instead of one. Instead of 40 minutes I would have 90.
This was interesting for me as I said because with all of my experience I never had an occasion to do a stage like show using hypnosis. This was going to be fun, and in truth a trip for me into the unknown. Could I do a rapid induction on a single subject in front of my sons friends? Just have to see I guess. So here is the rapid induction.

If you go to my YouTube channel you can see more, including the teacher laughing, singing and demonstrating other aspects of hypnosis. My YouTube channel is SportPsychConsult . Just click on the link and like magic you are there.

This is of course only the demo. The first part was a lecture on hypnosis with class participation, so they understood important concepts like relaxation, suggestibility and concentration, all critical aspects in performance success in sports and life.

The video is grainy because we were negligent in asking someone to light the stage for video. We ended the session with a great Q & A session. Demo was not meant to be a stage show. Simply something to interest students about hypnosis and the concept behind "The Athlete within You".
