![]() This one should be obvious: Since the eyes can roll back during hypnosis, it’s important to have your subject remove any contact lenses before you begin. ![]() Either it’s happening because they’re in hypnosis, or it’s happening because they’re doing it deliberately.Īs I mentioned earlier, if they do it deliberately, the act of doing so makes it more likely that they’ll go into hypnosis.Įither way, they’re hypnotized! Remove contact lenses before hypnosis While it might look a bit freaky, it’s also a sure sign of hypnosis. Sometimes when I hypnotize people, their eyes roll all the way back in their head. Reddening of the eyesĪs you might expect, along with watering eyes, reddening of the eyes is another sign of hypnosis. Other times, they will full-on cry.Īnd sometimes they will start freaking out and descend all the way into an abreaction.īefore you hypnotize anyone, make sure you know a basic abreaction drill like the one in my article on How to Stop Someone Freaking Out so that you’re prepared. In some cases this will be nothing more than visible glistening around the eyes. Sometimes a subject’s eyes will start to water as they drop into hypnosis. The association with hypnosis is so strong that even if something else is the cause, they are almost always well on the way into trance. It’s usually very obvious when this particular transition happens. In a rare case of pop culture meeting hypnosis reality, hypnotized subjects will often take on a glazed look in their eyes. If you’re hypnotizing someone, and you see their breathing slow down, you can be quite sure that they are moving towards hypnosis. Regardless of the other changes to someone’s breathing patterns, it’s very common for a subject’s breathing to become slower and more calm when they’re in trance. You can also use your peripheral vision to observe larger movements, like their shoulders moving up and down with every breath. I find that the easiest way is to look into their eyes and notice the tiny changes on their face as they breathe. So how exactly do you watch someone’s breathing pattern? The key here is to be observant and look for changes. But not always.Īs an example of a time when the breathing pattern might not be slower, consider what would happen if you were to hypnotize someone and give them an hallucination of riding on a roller coaster. So one of the signs of hypnosis is that the subject’s breathing pattern changes.īecause hypnosis is often associated with states like relaxation and calm, this breathing pattern will often be slower, steadier and more relaxed. One of the defining characteristics of hypnosis is that it is a different state to the one we were in right before we were hypnotized.Įach state we can go into has it’s own breathing pattern associated with it. Once you can detect a sign, keep on noticing it until doing so becomes a habit, then move on to the next one. Or put another way: As the hypnotist, if your subject manifests the signs of hypnosis for long enough, you can’t lose.Īs with other parts of hypnosis, you’ll get the best results when you take the time to learn to spot each of these signs one at a time. So if someone tries to fake hypnosis by intentionally manifesting these signs, they send themselves into hypnosis. Another effect of too much weed: you just stop trying.The thing is, all of us go into hypnosis multiple times every day, which means that our brains have already linked these signs to it. And while announcing “I’ve got the munchies” as an excuse to screen his Just Eat advert in full and having a five-minute “smoke break” behind the DJ booth – that you could smell from the gods – might have been very on-brand, they weren’t exactly what you’d call entertainment. There were legendary Snoop tunes to be had – most notably Gin And Juice, Drop It Like It’s Hot and the raging rap beast Who Am I? (What’s My Name?) – an amusing black and white video interlude of Pharrell Williams singing Minnie The Moocher and an exuberant guest appearance from “my nephew” Big Narstie.īut by the midpoint Snoop was merely piggybacking on 2Pac’s California Love, Notorious B.I.G.’s Hypnotize and House Of Pain’s Jump Around for easy scores. His few nods to modernity involved borrowing the choruses to his guest raps on rave pop tracks like DJ Khaled’s All I Do Is Win, Jason Derulo’s Wiggle or Katy Perry’s California Gurls, plus having a bloke in a Bored Ape outfit ogling the dancers with him.
