What is the induction?

This is where the fun begins! The induction is the portal to a different level of awareness, a portal that allows you to access a different part of your mind and unlock your true potential. It is the start of the journey to self discovery, peacefulness and relaxation. Let's use the following analogy:

The induction would be similar to entering the entrance hall of a house. You are just inside the structure, but there is a vast area still to be explored. This is the first step that you take in the journey of inner exploration and, done correctly, makes the rest of the process easier and more enjoyable.

Induction styles vary greatly and their effectiveness depends on the individual. For this reason, it is advisable to try different induction types until you find an approach that gives you the best results.

What does it do?

Despite their different approaches, all inductions have the aim of relaxing your body and mind, focusing your attention inwards, moving it away from the external world to allow for the awareness of every sensation and gently lulling you into a trance state.

Different induction approaches

An induction can follow either a commanding or coaxing approach. Individuals tend to respond better to one of these approaches depending on their attitudes and beliefs regarding authority. People who have an inherent dislike of being told what to do would probably respond better to a coaxing induction while less assertive people may get better results from the commanding induction.

Forms of Induction

The most common forms of induction involve a fixation of attention or progressive relaxation technique.In addition, there is also the rapid induction which rapidly induces hypnosis and the indirect induction which makes use of metaphors and avoids any directives.

Practice, practice, practice

The effectiveness of the induction method you choose will be greatly enhanced the more you practice it. Every repetition primes your mind to respond better and faster than the previous time, allowing you to sink faster and deeper into that relaxed state that needs to be achieved. For this reason, it is a good idea to set specific times on each day that you will devote to practicing this new skill. The more you practice, the better you will become at it and the more dramatic your results will be.

The next step looks at deepening techniques to increase your responsiveness to suggestions.
