Hypnotic Confusion Induction

July 27th, 2010 |

The confusion induction is a favorite of many famous hypnotists, especially Paul McKenna. The conscious mind is distracted, readying the subconscious into a state ready to receive hypnotic suggestions.

This is a technique used for therapeutic hypnosis rather than covert. As such you want your subject to either sit or lay in a comfortable position with their eyes closed.

You should read this induction in a slow, deliberate manner.

The Induction
(Read to your subject)

Allow your eyes to close and just let your mind wander wherever it desires.

You are aware of absolutely everything happening around you, yet at the same time you are unaware. As you focus with your subconscious mind your conscious mind is drifting far away and focusing on nothing. Your conscious mind is so far away that it cannot hear or sense anything. Your subconscious mind is in complete control.

You can relax, safe in the knowledge that your subconscious mind has taken charge. Your subconscious mind knows everything and your subconscious mind knows this. Know that your conscious mind is calm, peaceful and completely relaxed. It is off duty now.

Now on the count of five I would like you to begin counting down in your mind from three hundred and sixty all the way down to the number one.

1…
2…
3…
4…
5…

360…
359…
358…
357…
356…
355…

That’s right. Keep counting down in your mind. If you lose track of where you are then start off from where you roughly were before. It doesn’t matter if your mind keeps completely drifting away. Allow yourself to just go with the flow.

As you countdown from three hundred and sixty to one, continue to listen to the sound of my voice.
