HAVE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE
CONTENTS :
Chapter 1: Simple connections .
In
this chapter some simple practical examples are given which
allow the reader to explore in person and with others some of
the obvious things about the way in which the mind and body
work. In particular attention is a drawn to the way in which
activity in one part or subsystem of the brain can lead quite
naturally, but usually in a little time, to activity in another
part. But the speed and quality of the response varies from
person to person. These results are related to "tests of
hypnotisability" and to "hypnotic inductions": which are ways in
which they have been regarded in the past.
Chapter 2: Switching off systems.
In which we explore various ways in which
muscular relaxation can be induced. The main systems used to do
this include the verbal, visual, emotional, musical and
humorous. We end with a sample compound induction script.
Chapter 3: The visual imagination
We explore the visual imagination, which is
enormously rich and varied. This is a tool much used in hypnosis
and so it is valuable to explore its natural processes in many
people, including yourself. You may agree that one of the main
functions you have when helping another to explore his or her
imagination is in helping to maintain focus, primarily by
asking questions. The question of what kind of meaning such
an exploration gives is left open. There are a wide variety of
interpretation schemes which you will find: I simply urge you to
keep at least TWO such possibilities in mind so that you are
less likely to jump to unjustifiable conclusions. Sometimes the
asking of questions will help to resolve a conflict between two
interpretations. The material you find is seldom strange
by the standard of dreams.
Chapter 4: Directing and Controlling the Imagination
The visual imagination can not only be used for
exploration, it can be guided and directed. This chapter
provides exercises to develop this ability. The specifics used
are to imagine a place, then a strange element in it, then a
changed, floating viewpoint, then a floating journey. Next the
ability to change images is used to change a small memory; then
developed to see if a completely different life can be pictured.
This chapter should teach you how much can be done with the
imagination in many people without any "induction" or
other hypnotic techniques.
Chapter 5: Exploring "Inductions"
In this chapter for the first time we will meet
some processes which have been passed down the years as being
ways of producing some dramatic changes in the functioning of
people. These are what have been called "hypnotic inductions".
We start with a close look at an induction used by James Braid,
the father of hypnotism. Then some others, again from well-known
names in the history of our subject, are given more briefly for
you to try. The question of whether as a result of such
inductions a given person will respond more readily to
suggestions is one that you can explore practically. Some
reasons are given why such inductions may have been more
successful in the past, and need modifying for the present day.
Chapter 6: Posthypnotic suggestions
Posthypnotic suggestions are a large part of
what people regard as typical of hypnosis. We start by comparing
it with the common phenomenon of social compliance: the fact
that people quite normally will do what another asks them to do.
A description of a subject (Nobel Prizewinner Richard Feynman)
is used to illustrate what it feels like to carry out a post
hypnotic suggestion. Both phenomena are based on establishing a
causal connection between two subsystems of the brain. Some
exercises are suggested for you to find out how easy it is under
ordinary conditions to establish such a causal connection
between two subsystems of the brain, so that you can (as in the
previous chapter) later compare the ease of doing the same after
a preliminary induction. In fact the usual word to describe the
creation of a causal link between two systems is learning!
And you are asked to consider the conditions under which
learning is most likely to happen well. I suggest that a
focused attention is generally best. However this matter is
complicated by the fact that the brain consists of very many
subsystems and we may consider each to be capable of independent
attention, or arousal. To explore this exercises are given
aiming at maintaining the attention of just one subsystem (in
this case that connected to fingers) while conscious attention
subsides.
Chapter 7: Resistance and Rapport
We focus on high-order mental systems: those
which determine whether to accept or reject statements made by
another. The ability to reduce the resistance and increase
rapport is an important part of hypnosis. This highly practical
chapter gives exercises which take the form of two-person games
which may be used to increase your skills in this way. We run
through making impersonal statements; statements about yourself
and then personal statements about another person: all in an
everyday setting. Then, in a more "hypnotic" setting, we
practice making every statement of an induction totally
acceptable and then a series of personal suggestions acceptable.
The question of the difference between the system of active
resistance and active rapport is discussed. No specific
exercises are given for building up the latter: though you can
find out by asking a few extra questions after the previous
exercises how well you are doing. It is suggested that high
levels of rapport depend on being good at hypnosis, on being
honest to yourself, but on top of that there seem to be some
innate characteristics that will make rapport between yourself
and certain other people arise naturally.
Chapter 8: Bringing it all together
The main lessons are summarized. And then the
rest of the chapter is directed at giving you a variety of goals
- changes that you might make in a subject - in order to
practice and expand on what you have learned. Many of these are
accompanied by hints on how to go about them. The advantages of
writing out scripts for yourself at this stage are presented.
