Waking Hypnosis and the Power of Suggestion

suggestionSuggestion is the basis of waking hypnosis. It's all about implanting an idea in someone. When that person believes it, what you call 'waking hypnosis' occurs. It is a very powerful mechanism which you should not underestimate.

Suggestion and the Waking Hypnosis

Waking hypnosis could be described as open-eyed hypnosis. The person does not have the eyes closed, but can just be there as it were. What you want to do is to give an idea to someone that they then accept and accept. The important thing is that the person believes that idea and completely embraces it. Then it works super.

The power of suggestion cannot be underestimated and you can work very well with it. With children, this phenomenon works very well and I have some examples with which I hope to inspire you to start applying it too.

For example, if a child is afraid of the dark or has scary dreams, you can give him a drug. You can stage this so that the child comes to believe it. The medicine is a potion that comes in a bottle that could actually have a potion in it, so not a water bottle or something.

You give the child two spoons of the drink (which is just water) and tell them that it tastes bitter but works very well against bad dreams and that it makes you sleep very well. When the child believes you then it works like that and you can solve a fear quite easily.

You can do it with anything, by the way. A story of a doctor who once anesthetized a patient with water is no exception. If you believe it is an anesthetic and trust the doctor and take the suggestion from him, then so be it. It works incredibly well.

With my children I have also done this regularly, and because I know how powerful it works, I am also very careful about "just saying anything. You have to be well aware that at a young age, children are very susceptible to suggestions and are already regularly in the hypnotic state. Now I'm talking about children, but it works well with adults too. The important thing is that they take the idea and believe it. The rest they do themselves.

It is a brilliantly beautiful profession and also incredibly valuable to have knowledge of this and also to use it. I hope to inspire you to get started with this as well. Use the power of suggestion and you will create amazing things.

Waking Hypnosis is a powerful method for demonstrating how a person creates their own reality. Information × Focus = Personal Reality. During a waking hypnosis session, you focus on the suggestions, and they become your reality. For example, I’ve glued people’s hands to the table because, in their reality, they had glue under their hands.

I enjoy Edwin´s newsletters every time: precisely to find that what he writes does not work for autistic and asperger syndrome individuals. I traffic quite regularly and have to observe almost with self-mockery that they catch on to jokes and riddles right away, because they do not think through like us. At the same time they are not susceptible to suggestion and therefore imaginatively shut the door on possible treatment.
