MODERN HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES. Advanced Hypnosis and Self Hypnosis. Tony Gaschler

       The third hypnosis experiment

      I am now going to describe a very fast and simple method of hypnosis for you, the so-called “ULI reflex method”. This was first described by A. Ulrich in his book “The Secret of Hypnosis”. He personally uses it constantly with excellent results.

      Position the TP with the right half of his/her body toward the wall as shown in ill. 16. The distance between the wall and the TP should be about eight inches. Say to the TP: “Press the back of your hand very firmly against the wall now. At the same time imagine that you want to push the wall to the side --- press harder --- press even harder! Now carry on pressing firmly against the wall until I have counted to ten: One --- two --- three --- four --- five --- six --- seven --- eight --- nine --- TEN!”

      Now quickly place your hands on the TP’s shoulders, turn the TP away from the wall so that he/she is now standing with his/her back to the wall and say: “Pay attention to your right arm! You now feel your arm being drawn upwards, being drawn upwards completely by itself. ---“ (At the same time, show the TP how his/her arm rises by slowly raising your left arm, which is on the same side as the TP's right arm, as shown in ill. 17. Then say:) “---“Your arm is completely light --- completely light --- it is rising --- higher --- higher and higher --- " etc. When you see that the TP’s arm is rising and has reached shoulder height then say, whilst looking the TP straight in the eye: “Close your eyes now! --- When I have counted to three, sleep deeply and soundly, very deeply and soundly! One --- two --- three! YOU ARE SLEEPING DEEPLY AND SOUNDLY --- SLEEPING DEEPLY AND SOUNDLY!”

      Then say: "When I now touch your right hand, your right arm will fall relaxed to your side!” (Lightly touch the TP’s right hand.) “When I now touch your eyes, you can no longer open them. Your eyelids feel as if they are glued together, very tightly glued together, and you can no longer open them!”

      Now touch the TP’s eyes, as shown in ill. 18 and say: “The more you try to open your eyes, the more they are glued together! Try to open your eyes! IT DOESN’T WORK! The more you try it, the less it works!” (When the TP has tried in vain to open his/her eyes for a few seconds, say:) “Do not try to open your eyes any more. It doesn’t work --- YOU ARE NOW DEEPLY AND SOUNDLY ASLEEP! --- With every breath deeper and sounder --- deeper and sounder!” Now you can carry out further experiments or waken the TP.
