How to hypnotize (hypnotise) people

Being able to hypnotize a person is one thing but to be able to hypnotize multiple people, now that is a completely different story. This is were factors such as general emotion triggers come into play and being able to feed peoples reactions off each other.

So how do people like Anthony Robbins or Oprah manage to influence so many people at one time and not only that, convince them to come back for more advice over and over again?


Create a story that everyone can relate to
This is rule one with hypnotizing a room full of people because as you know the first step of the hypnosis process is to create a connection and rapport with your subject. The easiest way is to create a story that is very common and the easiest one is, 'that no one understands what you are going through' or 'a dream of leaving the office and retiring early' and the list goes on. So once the story is created how do you keep the attention and make your group of people listen and genuinely process the information (suggestions) that you give them?


Play on insecurities
If you can guess someone’s insecurity then they will listen to what you have to say even if they deny that fact. This is simply because a common emotional trigger that everyone has is a fear of something and not being able to overcome that fear. When this comes to a group of people you need to find a common insecurity that everyone can relate to and then relate it directly to yourself, this creates a subliminal bond between you and everyone else because they interpret this as you understanding their personal fears.


Finish the story and create a conclusion
The final step of this process (and remember this is a brief overview) is to create an ending for your story of how you achieved your dream, how you know others that have and how they have overcome their insecurity. This invokes jealousy on the part of the people you are hypnotizing and their reaction is to want the same thing, so you give them a suggestion of what they need to do and trust me they will pursue it.


Learning this technique of hypnotizing multiple people
The principles that you have just read stem strongly from conversational hypnosis because this is designed to basically ignore the hypnotic induction and go straight into covert suggestive techniques.
