Hypnosis Deepener #5Counting Backwards to Deepen the Hypnotic Condition
One deepener that many Master Hypnotists employ with their clients and volunteers is the Counting Backwards Deepener.
The Counting Backwards Deepener can be applied in at least two different ways.
One way is for the hypnotist to count backwards and suggest that with each count the subject go deeper and deeper into hypnosis.
Example 1:The hypnotist says:
“In a moment I am going to count from ten down to one.” With every count you will go deeper and deeper into this pleasant state of hypnosis.” “All right, ten, you are going down, deep, deep, into hypnosis.” “Nine, you feel more relaxed than every before.” “Eight, going down, down, down.” “Seven, you feel perfectly relaxed.” “Six, you are going further down, down, down, into deep hypnosis.” “Five, your are completely relaxed.” “Four, you are relaxing with every breath that you take.” “Three, you are going deeper and deeper asleep, Two, you are going deeper into hypnosis,” and “One, you are deep in hypnosis.”
Example 2:The second way to deepen using counting backwards is to get your subject to do the counting. You proceed as follows:
“In a moment I want you to count backwards from 100 down to 1. With every count find yourself relaxing deeper and deeper and by the time you reach one, go deep into hypnosis.”
“Okay, begin counting out loud from 100 down to 1.”
Now your subject begins counting backward. As he/she counts and relaxes with each count a deeper feeling of hypnosis ensues
While your subject is counting backwards you can present verbal relaxing suggestions to support your subject as he/she begins to get very drowsy and relaxed.
Summary:Use counting backwards to deepen hypnosis in all of your subjects. You will find it an effective deepening tool.
