Relaxation
The relaxation technique is another common method of hypnotic induction. This
method has almost no prerequisites. All it requires is that the hypnotist be able to
build confidence in the subject’s mind. To build confidence, the suggestions
(and the way they’re put forward) are of utmost importance. Hence, the
hypnotist should ensure a soothing and persuasive tone is employed to put the
subject into a hypnotic state. Being dominant and forceful will get the hypnotist
nowhere, since it will most likely cause the subject to reject suggestions. This is
an essential point, because the hypnotist needs to be able to gently breach the
barriers around the subject’s mind, in order to get to the bottom of the subject’s
problem. If the subject’s problem is a lack of creativity, then he or she will

obviously feel insecure about that and will try to shield that insecurity from the
world. It is the job of the hypnotist to isolate this insecurity and transform it into
a positive quality. For this to happen, the subject must trust the hypnotist.
Hypnotists use a gentle yet firm tone during the induction stage, because they
need to guide the subject without causing the mind to reject the hypnotist’s
suggestions. If the tone is dominant and forceful, the mind could block the
hypnotist and the session would be a waste of time for both parties involved. The
hypnotist will soothingly talk to the subject and induce a return to happy
memories. 
This will allow the subject to relax. As the hypnotist delves more deeply into the
subject’s happier memories, the subject will slowly surrender to the
subconscious. When complete relaxation has been achieved, the hypnotist will
ask the subject to focus on regular breathing and the blood flowing through the
blood vessels.
There are two ways in which the hypnotist may choose to continue the process.
One technique is the passive one, in which the subject is a passive onlooker. The
role of the subject is to watch and agree to whatever the hypnotist says. All the
work is done by the hypnotist. In the other technique, the subject is an active
