Any person, having reasonable intelligence, can be hypnotized. However everyone is hypnotized a little differently, since our minds work differently. So the way to find out how to hypnotize you, is by using what we call suggestibility test. There is no pass or feel in this test, it just help us understand, how your mind works.
So it`s very simple. What I`d like you to do write now is to sit down comfortably in the chair and pay attention to what I`m saying. I want you try to do exactly as I say and use your imagination as much as you can. So let`s begin. Take your hands and put them together.
And I want you to make a little space between your fingers. I`d like you to concentrate on that space between your fingers and don`t look at anything else. Don`t even look at me right now. Just look at that space between your fingers. And as you do I`d like you to imagine that I`m placing a really thick rubber band around your fingertips. And as soon as I let go that rubber band you can feel it`s pulling your fingers closer and closer together, closer and closer together, tighter and tighter until they eventually touch and as soon as they touch you can put your hands down. Closer and closer, tighter and tighter. And I`m doubling it up and I put another rubber band around your finger tips, a really thick band like you have around envelopes in the office building. Tighter and tighter, coming closer and closer until they eventually touch. And as soon as they touch you can put your hands down. Ok, now there is no pass or feel as I said in this test.
Here is the results: if your fingers went together very quickly, that means you are able to relax pretty easily. If you go to some place with your friends, in some place, where you enjoy being and they tell you to go ahead and relax, you can do it really easily. People, whose fingers didn`t touch or moved just a little bit, those are the analytical people. Those are the ones, who have a hard time relaxing. If you`re an analytical person, you may always say – I`ll relax later, but later never seems to come. And the nonanalitycal persons relax even when they doing a job.
So are you analytical or not? You may comment it here.
