Most people think that you must put someone "under" or that you are put "under" in order to be hypnotized. There is a misconception regarding how Hypnosis works, and what constitutes Hypnosis. Put simply Hypnosis is the utilization of altered states of conciousness that bypass the concious mind in order to create change. In regards to Self Hypnosis this means inserting a hypnotic command into your own subconcious in order to remove a habit, phobia, or some other undesirable trait, or open access to new behaviors, skills, and traits. Normal hypnosis is the process of inducing an altered state of conciousness to bypass the concious mind in order to create an affect of change in the subject.

Common understanding of Hypnosis utilizes what is called Direct Induction methods. This is where the Hypnotherapists use some kind of device or process to create a state of deep relaxation in a subject, and use a standard script to induce an hypnotic state. Once the hypnotic state is reached the therapist will begin delivering agreed upon suggestions to the subject to affect the change the subject desires.

The all important thing to remember is that it is nearly impossible to make someone do something they would never do normally, nor will you be coerced into doing something dangerous to yourself or those you care about.

Covert hypnotic methods utilize Indirect Induction methods to create "Waking Trance" states. Through the creative use of language, and specific conversational hypnosis techniques anyone can easily and safely induce a waking trance. Underground or Covert Hypnosis is used by people all the time, often unknowingly and without controlled results. Courses offered, such as "The Power of Hypnosis" can show you how to create consistent desired affects. These affects can be directed at yourself as well as others.
