| Although the practice of hypnosis has been around for a very long time, researchers are still learning new information about it all of the time. And even though it has been extensively studied hypnosis, the benefits that it can provide is still largely an enigma to the medical and scientific communities. One thing that we do know is to get the most out of the hypnotic process, a person needs to be properly guided through a hypnosis induction phase which will get the subject's mind in a receptive state of mind. Without going through this phase, a person's conscious mind will simply not be open and relaxed enough to allow hypnosis to take place. Hypnosis induction can be described simply as a series of instructions and suggestions that are put forward to a subject by a professional or expert in hypnosis. The hypnotist does this in order to gradually induce the subject in question into a relaxed state of of mind in order to undergo hypnosis. It cannot be understated enough how critical this step is in effectively being able to use the benefits of hypnosis. If you cannot properly induce the mind, you cannot perform any hypnosis. There are many methods that can be used for hypnosis induction but one of the most popular techniques used is called the "eye fixation" technique. The eye fixation technique was invented by a Scottish surgeon named James Braid. The technique ended up being dubbed the name 'braidism'. As a hypnosis induction technique, braidism requires that a bright shiny object is dangled eight to fifteen inches in front of a subject's eyes. The dangling of the shiny object is done in a left to right wavy motion at a relatively low speed. The bright shiny object is to be focused upon by the subject and should produce as much strain as possible on the subject's eyes and eyelids as he or she follows the object with their gaze. The eyes must stay fixed on the object and their mind must also be zeroing in only on the object. After a few moments of the eyes fixation on the object, the patient's pupils will first contract and then gradually dilate. At this moment the hypnotist will then bring the object closer and closer to the subject's forehead in a manner that the object gets slightly higher in position than it was before. This will force the subject's eyes to shut. Once the eyes shut, this is a telltale sign that the subject has sufficiently and successful gone through the hypnosis induction phase. The mind should be open, relaxed and receptive to the guidance and instructions given by the hypnotist. Hypnosis induction is very important step as it brings about the domino effect of putting the subject in a relaxed trance. This will then allow for the hypnotic state that is deep enough to bypass the critical conscious mind and allow for the benefits that hypnosis can offer. In reality, the subject will have simply shut their minds out to everything going on in their current environment and heightened all their senses to focus on the words being said by the hypnosis expert. From this state, memory recall can occur, as well as necessary behavior and emotional modification.
