What you'll learn

Key ideas in Hypnotic Triggers and Deep Trance

  • The cumulative effect of the wake-sleep cycle on trance depth
  • The required shift in tone and speed for re-induction
  • Abruptly ending a deep session can cause headaches or disorientation
  • Immediate, simple motor commands like 'adjust your chair' test subconscious compliance
  • The exit must bridge the gap between the subconscious and the waking environment
  • Checking for 'trance stare' or delayed response confirms they are still suggestible
  • Testing for compliance during the brief waking window
  • The first cycle breaks initial resistance
  • Pacing the exit to manage the subject's physical and mental transition
  • The second cycle establishes the pattern of rapid descent
  • The third cycle reaches the 'golden' level of profound somnambulism
  • The optimal sequence of the 'staircase' effect for maximum depth
  • REM indicates subconscious processing
  • Dropping jaw indicates deep trance
  • Cumulative effect of wake-sleep cycle
  • REM as a green light for triggers
