Today I'm going to write more about inductions.
I have already got a post on basic inductions but I feel for the more experienced readers on my blog, I should add some more variations and different inductions. For today I'm going to stick to Rapid inductions!

Induction #1
First induction I'm going to write about it the arm-pull and finger flutter induction.
This induction involves the subject following multiple instructions from the hypnotist and then on the hypnotists cue, a sudden jerk of the arm and the "sleep" command.
~How?~
This can be done sitting or standing, I will however explain it with the subject sitting for simplicity.
The hypnotist seats the subject down in a comfortable chair (assuming the pre-talk has been done), and instructs the subject to follow his fingers with their head and their eyes:
Once the subject has all their attention on your fingers, wriggle your fingers towards the top of their head, forcing them to look up and tell them to take a deep breath. As they exhale, wriggle your fingers towards their chin forcing them to look down. As the have looked down and exhaled almost completely, you suddenly jerk their arm and command "SLEEP" in a relatively firm, authorative and confident voice.
Remember to keep moving their arm around throughout the induction up to the point where you jerk on it and command "sleep".
Induction #2
This induction is called the handshake induction and is used by many hypnotists today, It's one of the fastest and my favourite rapid induction.
The hypnotist, seats the subject and tells them that he's about to place them into a wonderful hypnotic state and then thanks them with a handshake, but instead of shaking hands the hypnotists redirects their attention and disturbs their equilibrium, placing them into a trance.
~Tell me already!~
Instruct your subject to sit down in a comfy chair and just to relax, talk to them and tell them how there is a really fast way to place people into a trance and you're going to show them how.
While doing this tell them to resist blinking and notice how heavy their eyelids become, wanting to close, etc. As they close their eyes go into a deepener.
Induction #3
The 3nd Induction is another favourite of mine and is a slight variation of the 2nd. It has many names but I call it the palm-face induction.
This induction is similar to the first and second in that it is relatively easy to do.
~Tell me how!~
First have the subject sitting, I find it works best this way. Then instruct them that you are about to hypnotise them using an extremely rapid induction or anything else you like to say prior to your inductions.
Next just as in the previous induction, reach to shake their hand and instead of shaking it, grab it at the wrist, then instead of jerking at it, turn it upward towards their face (palm facing them), and immediately instruct them to look at their hand.
Tell them that as they watch their hand, they feel it moving closer and closer to their face and feel their eyes becoming heavier and heavier as their hand moves closer, (you may need to gently push it towards them at first).
Once it starts to move you may release it and let it move. Now (*IMPORTANT*) as the hand moves you need to tell them that when their hand touches their face, their eyes will close and they will relax into a deep state of hypnosis (or whatever you like to say), the important part is that you say this before their hand actually reaches their face!
Now for the final step of the induction, just as their hand is about to touch their face you take hold of it and either press it gently to their face or you pull it downwards into their lap. (this step isn't completely necessary but helps if the person is less suggestible). At the precise moment that their hand touches their face (or lap), you command "SLEEP" in an authorative, confident voice.
Do a deepener and there you go.
Induction #4
The 4th and final induction in this section is called the hand press induction. In this induction the hypnotist seats the subject, explains that he will rapidly hypnotise them. He will then have them press on his hand and counting down he will place them into a trance.
~Really? how?~
Seat the subject down on a comfortable chair (same story as all the rest).
Then instruct them to press on your hand with theirs. (you might want them to press on your strong hand with their weak hand, i.e: their left hand if they are right handed).
Next you tell them that as you count down from 5, 6, or 7 (which ever you prefer, these numbers seem to work best). Then tell them you want them to press down harder and harder as you count down.
~Final Words~
These are some of the more common inductions that are used, you may try different variants and experiment for yourself. This is just a guideline for you to get going. Also please don't try to copy my words exactly and this 'scripting' is a bad habit and causes you to lose the fluency of your speaking.
I hope this article is useful and informative and if you would like any other articles on certain topics, ill be glad to write an article for you.

This can be done sitting or standing, I will however explain it with the subject sitting for simplicity.
The hypnotist seats the subject down in a comfortable chair (assuming the pre-talk has been done), and instructs the subject to follow his fingers with their head and their eyes:
Please take a seat. Now I would like you to just remain relaxed and to follow my fingertips with your eyes and head, okay?Then the hypnotist proceeds to take the arm of the subject and hold it near the wrist, gently but firmly enough to move it around. Then tell the subject to relax their arm that you are holding.
Ok great, now as I hold your wrist I just want you to relax your arm and let me control your arms movements. Ok ready to begin?Now you start waving the subjects arm gently in all directions while simultaneously wriggling your fingers of your other hand near their face in all directions, up, down left and right.
Once the subject has all their attention on your fingers, wriggle your fingers towards the top of their head, forcing them to look up and tell them to take a deep breath. As they exhale, wriggle your fingers towards their chin forcing them to look down. As the have looked down and exhaled almost completely, you suddenly jerk their arm and command "SLEEP" in a relatively firm, authorative and confident voice.
Now please follow my fingers..... follow, follow, keep following.....[blah blah blah] [more useless wording]....... ok now take a deep breath..... let it all out and........SLEEP!Immediately go into a deepener of your choice and you're done! That easy!
Remember to keep moving their arm around throughout the induction up to the point where you jerk on it and command "sleep".
Induction #2
This induction is called the handshake induction and is used by many hypnotists today, It's one of the fastest and my favourite rapid induction.

~Tell me already!~
Instruct your subject to sit down in a comfy chair and just to relax, talk to them and tell them how there is a really fast way to place people into a trance and you're going to show them how.
Take a seat and just relax for a minute. You know there's an extremely fast and effective way of hypnotising people and today I'm going to show you how!Next, thank them for allowing you to hypnotise them and reach to shake their hand.
Thank you for the opportunity to hypnotise you today and I can assure you that you will enjoy it!Now Instead of shaking hands, as they reach out to shake hands, grab their hand at the wrist and pull it towards you gently, commanding "SLEEP" as you pull their hand. Alternately, if you are next to a table, you can place their palm flat on the table and instruct them to look you in the eyes.
While doing this tell them to resist blinking and notice how heavy their eyelids become, wanting to close, etc. As they close their eyes go into a deepener.
Induction #3
The 3nd Induction is another favourite of mine and is a slight variation of the 2nd. It has many names but I call it the palm-face induction.

Tell them that as they watch their hand, they feel it moving closer and closer to their face and feel their eyes becoming heavier and heavier as their hand moves closer, (you may need to gently push it towards them at first).
Right, Im about to place you in a wonderful state of hypnosis, etc etc.
First I want to say thank you for the opportunit-
(this is where you redirect the hand to their face)
Look at you hand - as you watch your hand you realise it moving closer and closer to your face, and your eyes also become heavier and heavier as this happens.
Once it starts to move you may release it and let it move. Now (*IMPORTANT*) as the hand moves you need to tell them that when their hand touches their face, their eyes will close and they will relax into a deep state of hypnosis (or whatever you like to say), the important part is that you say this before their hand actually reaches their face!

(this step isn't completely necessary but helps if the person is less suggestible). At the precise moment that their hand touches their face (or lap), you command "SLEEP" in an authorative, confident voice.
Now just notice your hand moving closer and closer, eyes becoming heavier and heavier.....[etc, etc]
as your hand touches your face, your eyes will close and you'll notice how you start to drift away into a wonderful state of hypnosis... [etc, etc]
(grab the hand) SLEEP!
Do a deepener and there you go.
Induction #4
The 4th and final induction in this section is called the hand press induction. In this induction the hypnotist seats the subject, explains that he will rapidly hypnotise them. He will then have them press on his hand and counting down he will place them into a trance.

Next you tell them that as you count down from 5, 6, or 7 (which ever you prefer, these numbers seem to work best). Then tell them you want them to press down harder and harder as you count down.
Alright, now I'm going to ask you to press on my hand with your palm on my hand.Now tell them to take a deep breath in, and out and close their eyes. Now tell them to start pressing. As you count down, when you reach just after 3, [that is 5,4,3,(now)] you tell them to breath in deeply, and as they exhale you pull your hand out from below theirs and simultaneously command "SLEEP"
I'm then going to count down from 6 and I want you to press harder as I count down. Understand? Ok, lets begin.
Just relax and take a couple of deep breaths and when you're ready,close your eyes.Immediately do a deepener of your choice and voila!
Now start pressing.
Six, Five, Four, Three....
Take another deep breath
(as they exhale, pull out you hand) SLEEP!
