Attempts in vain
Since the time I got into hypnosis in 2008, I have been
trying to hypnotize my husband. When I start looking into his eyes, he will
avert his eyes and start laughing loudly. On Feb 17th 2024, we were
sitting after lunch at the Hornbill festival. There was still time for the next
presentation to start. I tried again to hypnotise him.
He commented, “It is
written in books that one should not try to hypnotize close relations.” I
countered with, “That is only in the initial stages of learning. I am a well
established hypnotist now. Why don’t you please trust me and let it happen?”
He then challenged me, "If you really want to hypnotise
me, do that for 5 minutes and when I come out, I should feel that I had an
afternoon nap of half hour." And I took his challenge!
About hypnosis
Hypnosis is a state of focused attention, heightened suggestibility, and deep relaxation. It involves bypassing the critical factor of the conscious mind to access the subconscious, where suggestions can be accepted more readily. While hypnosis is often associated with entertainment or therapy, it can also be a powerful tool for personal growth and relationship enhancement.
Hypnotizing someone, especially your spouse, can be an intriguing and fulfilling experience. It requires patience, understanding, and trust between partners.
The Power of Consent, Trust, and Rapport
Consent is paramount in any hypnotic session, especially when hypnotizing a loved one. Without genuine consent, the process can lead to discomfort and resistance.
Trust and rapport are foundational elements of effective hypnosis. Establishing a safe and comfortable environment allows the hypnotized individual to relax and open up to suggestions.
Meeting the Challenge
With determination and a desire to connect with my husband on a deeper level, I accepted the challenge. Drawing upon my understanding of hypnosis and the power of suggestion, I guided him into a state of deep relaxation and suggestibility. I gave the suggestion that he will go into a deep relaxing sleep for five minutes and then would wake up by himself, with a feeling that he had his usual afternoon nap for half hour.
Success and Connection
As the minutes passed, he entered a trance-like state, receptive to my gentle suggestions. It was so satisfying, fascinating experience to watch his face. I could sense him going into a deeply relaxed state, falling into a wonderful sleep! When he emerged from the hypnotic state, he felt refreshed as though he had enjoyed a half-hour nap in just five minutes. The success of the session not only demonstrated the power of hypnosis but also deepened our bond through shared experience and mutual trust.
Hypnotizing a loved one, particularly a reluctant spouse, requires patience, skill, and most importantly, consent. By fostering trust, open communication, and a willingness to explore new experiences together, couples can unlock the transformative potential of hypnosis to deepen their connection.
