Hypnosis is hardly considered and used today in both psychology and magic - even though it is a simple and effective way to better understand the workings of both the psyche and magic. Hypnosis is also closely related to many other phenomena that can only be truly understood by comparing them to each other. These phenomena include everyday things such as talking in one's sleep and sleepwalking, as well as more threatening things such as political propaganda and mass hypnosis, furthermore magical phenomena such as expansion of consciousness, transference of consciousness, initiations, the Indian darshan, invocation, remote hypnosis, hypnotic combat, possession, the Tibetan phowa, the spiritus familiaris, as well as many skills from the field of advanced combat techniques such as remote thrusts, among others. This book describes the different methods of hypnosis and their possible applications, as well as their possible side effects.

II Methods of Hypnotizing

Hypnosis is effected by will, by words, by gestures, by directing the life force and by telepathy.

II 1. The Hypnotist's Attitude

Hypnosis requires of the hypnotist not only that he speaks a few mysterious words, have a piercing look, and make some mysterious gestures …

The most important thing is the hypnotist's determination to hypnotize his counterpart, i.e. to "take direction over the other person". Thus, the hypnotist consciously enters into an attitude of dominance over the person he wants to hypnotize. This is not only a slight superiority, but a (temporary) absolute domination over the other person – just complete dominance. A hypnotist should therefore have a strong will.

Without this dominant attitude nothing works at all in hypnosis …

II 2. Hypnosis by words

The "classical hypnosis formula" is quite simple: One goes through the individual body parts from bottom to top and says one after the other that they are relaxed, heavy, warm and tired.

The following text is the detailed version, which can be used if you want to use almost only words for hypnosis. This text can also be changed and shortened according to the needs. As with almost all things, a little experimentation is extremely beneficial – so you can find out your own style, in this case the way in which you find hypnotizing easiest.
