Chapter 5 How To Write A Hypnotic PrescriptionLisa was frustrated. For years she had been an excellent sales representative but now had problems increasing her sales and her personal income. As a sales representative that was successful in the past, she could find no technique that would help her now. Even though she was making more sales presentations than ever before, the sales success eluded her. The harder she tried, the more frustrated she became. Finally, Lisa decided to create a hypnotic prescription or prevailing thought and use it before every sales call. She told herself that every time she greeted a customer or prospect, she would imagine that person exactly like her in every way. She imagined that person looking for love, recognition and respect. Instead of focusing on a tangible product, Lisa would focus on the customer's personality. Instead of visualizing the customer as just another sale, the customer would be seen as a living, loving person, just like Lisa. The customer wanted to be respected and appreciated. The customer wanted Lisa to valued his opinion. After only two weeks after creating and exercising this new hypnotic prescription or prevailing thought, Lisa began to achieve great results. Lisa was also making new, lifelong friends. Work was fun. Now, that Lisa was making sales and making friends, her appreciation of her job and her life was heightened. Objectives of Chapter 5 What is a hypnotic prescription? What are the magic words you say to yourself to achieve results? How can you integrate the prescription into your personal success plan? There are three objectives to Chapter 5. You will understand what is a hypnotic suggestion or prevailing thought. You will learn how to create your own hypnotic prescription or prevailing thought. You will apply your own prescription to your self-hypnosis induction. Let's begin! What Is A Hypnotic Prescription? Question: What is a Hypnotic Prescription or Prevailing Thought? Answer: A hypnotic prescription or prevailing thought is the script or verbiage that you use during the hypnotic ceremony or induction that centers on one or more of your goals. This prescription may include a story or metaphor that helps explain a lesson that the subconscious mind understands and acts upon. The prescription is written in such a way that your subconscious mind will act upon it either during the hypnotic state or after the induction when the hypnotic experience is officially over (The posthypnotic state). The prescription can be very lengthy or administered in one well-chosen word. The prescription works best when repeated many times. The hypnotic prescription or prevailing though when administered goes into your powerful subconscious mind. It changes your belief system from one of I can't to one that states, "I can." Always Administer Positive Words and Ideas Question: Would you rather listen to something positive or something negative? Answer: Our brains are
crammed full of negative ideas and scripts. How many movies have you
seen with death, destruction, and loss of love and heartache? How
many newscasts have you observed examples of mans' inhumanity
towards man? How many times did we run those scripts in our minds
when parents, relatives, or friends told us we would never amount to
anything, or we should be grateful for what little we have?
It is truly amazing how you will change your habits and change your life by changing just a few words in your speech and your thought patterns. The above list can go on forever. Think of a few goals right now. Make a "T" on a piece of paper or in this textbook. On the left side write down your prescription in negative terms, on the right, state your goal in a positive way. Can you see or feel a difference? You will, in a very short time! What Do You Say In A Prescription? What are the magic words that will help you achieve all of your goals? Where do I find the right things to say? How do I say them? Let's find out. In a prescription you say two basic things. You state a behavior you want to change or goal you wish to achieve during the session or after the session. You state it in a way that assumes you have already reached the goal or are rapidly getting closer to achieving it. In the case of controlling your weight, you may say something like this: "Each day I find my-self looking better and better. I enjoy the way I am controlling my weight and the way I look." Then, you may talk to yourself in a way that assumes you are already in possession of the goal. For example: "I am achieving my ideal weight. My friends and relatives are in complete support of the way I look now. I feel healthier and happier than I have ever felt. I am relaxed and self-confident. My confidence builds daily. I celebrate in my success!" For each of the above examples of prescriptions think of examples of hypnotic scripts or prescriptions. How do these examples relate to the challenges that you are facing? Do you feel that you would be too unrealistic with yourself to visualize and tell yourself that you are already in possession of these goals? Why do you feel that way? If you feel that way you are normal. It takes some time to finally convince ourselves that we are everything we should be rather than everything we think we are not. Reality is in the eyes of the beholder. I have witnessed people achieving extraordinary accomplishments when logic and reason would dictate that they couldn't possibly achieve these goals. When I taught Business Education classes at Elgin High School, in Elgin, Illinois, I remember having a student in class with many personal problems at home. By all circumstances this student should have become a drop out and perhaps a burden on society later on. Due to a positive self-esteem, however, she was able to achieve straight "A's" in high school. She was a National Merit Scholar, worked part time, lived in a very abusive home, and had to raise her younger brothers and sisters. She accomplished all of this and with an IQ of 80. Fortunately, no one told her the test score. You have the power to raise your self-esteem regardless of the conditions you face in life. The power of your belief will be enhanced and illuminated through the hypnosis induction, conditioning exercises and your custom prescription or script. You are the main ingredient, however, in making it all work! How Do You Integrate A Prescription in an Induction? Since ALL hypnosis is self-hypnosis, then WHEREVER you decide to place your custom prescription or script, this is going to be the correct place. How can you lose? Just to give you a head start, however, I am going to give a few tips on where it may fit in quite nicely. As you are giving yourself instructions, such as, "As you sit up in your chair or lie down on your bed, you are seeing your-self in your perfect weight." Another place a script may fit in nicely is after you say, " breathe deeply, and relax and push all the tension out of your lungs." You may insert something like, "I am calm and relaxed while taking tests." (This is from the test anxiety example in the preceding table) A great spot to insert your custom script is just before you emerge from the state. For example: "When I emerge from this state of mind, I will feel better than ever before." A plan to incorporate hypnotic prescriptions or scripts in your life is much like planning a speech or a paper for school. In a speech or paper, you are supposed to tell them what you want to tell them, tell them, and then tell them what you told them. This is what is called the power of threes. Concentrate on telling them what you want to tell them. Then, tell them. Finally tell them what you told them, as you complete Activity 1, Create Your Hypnotic Prescription. Workshop Activity 1 - Create Your Hypnotic Prescription Create a hypnotic prescription or prevailing thought based on your most pressing need or desire in life. State it in positive terms.
Activity 2 - Record Your New Induction I am going to repeat the first induction we performed together in Chapter 3. Before you read it into your recorder, I want you to edit it by writing down prescription statements relating directly to your problem or goal. Then insert those statements anywhere you feel necessary in the induction text. Feel free to mark up your textbook as you insert your positive statements in your induction. You may even use different colored ink or a highlighter to make it easier to work with as you record the induction. Note: From my experience and background, telling yourself the behavior you want, followed by strong, positive statements reinforcing that behavior, is your quickest guarantee for success. Self-hypnosis Induction: Eyes Open Method. Always remember that ALL hypnosis is self-hypnosis! You are always in control. You have all the power necessary to make positive changes in your own life. You may have found out already in life that you also have the power to make all the negative changes in your life. Let's focus on the positive changes. Find an area in your home or place of work where you can have about 10 minutes to yourself. That's right, only 10 minutes are needed in your quest for a successful induction at this point. After practicing this exercise many times, you may reduce the time to only one or two minutes. Now read the following words into a recording device. Read very, very slowly. Pretend that you are tired as you read this exercise and you will react in a relaxed, sleepy, manner. (You may want to print out this page for future reference) Whenever you see the (Pause) cue, pause for 3 seconds, then go ahead and read again. Let your body relax for a few moments before continuing on. BEGIN INDUCTION Sit up in a comfortable chair or lie on a couch or a bed with your hands resting in your lap or by your side and take three slow deep breaths. Each time you inhale, focus on filling your lungs with clean, fresh air. (Pause) As you exhale, feel all of the tension leave your lungs. (Pause) Now stare at a spot. Look at a spot on the wall or ceiling. (Pause) Look at that spot, breathe deep and relax. (Pause) Your body is relaxing, deeply relaxing. (Pause) You eyes are getting heavy and closing down. (Pause) You are going deep, deep, and deeper into a pleasant state of relaxation. (Pause) Your mind is alert and aware, and your body is relaxing, perfectly. You feel good, you feel fine...you feel perfectly relaxed. (Pause) Each and every deep breath that you take lets you relax deeper and deeper. (Pause) Each and every sound that you hear allows you to relax deeper and deeper. (Pause) Nothing will disturb you. Just breathe deeply and relax deeply. (Pause) Let your body relax. (Pause) Let all of your muscles relax as you gain control over the powerful subconscious part of our mind. (Pause) All of your cares and troubles are just drifting away. (Pause) You can bring them back at any time you want. (Pause) However, it feels good to let them drift away at this time. (Pause) But it feels good to let them drift away at this time. Each and every breath you take allows you to relax deeper and deeper each and every sound that you hear, allows you to relax deeper and deeper. You feel good. You feel fine. You feel perfectly and completely relaxed. (Pause) Your mind is alert and aware and your body is relaxing perfectly. Now allow your eyelids to feel heavy. (Pause) Allow your eyes to feel tired. Begin to close your eyelids down tight. This will allow you to relax deeper, deeper and sounder than ever before. (Pause) You are going down deeper and sounder in this wonderful state of relaxation. (Pause) Your mind is keenly alert and aware, and your body is relaxing perfectly. (Pause) Now picture in your mind that with your eyes closed down tightly, you can see out of an imaginary hole in the top of your head. (Pause) Imagine that you are looking out of that imaginary hole or window and you can see a beautiful relaxing scene around you. (Pause) You make be picturing the night sky, or a beautiful daytime scene with mountains and trees, or a lake or the ocean shore. Or, you may be picturing a comfortable room or place that is very quiet and still. (Pause) Whatever picture you hold in your mind, just hold it there and relax deeply and soundly. (Pause) Now I am going to count from three down to one. With every count take a long slow deep breath. Then exhale deeply, and allow yourself to relax deeper and sounder than ever before. (Pause) Okay, three breathing deeply, two, inhaling deeply and exhaling. Feel the tension leaving your lungs. (Pause) One, deeper and more completely relaxed than ever before (Pause) You feel relaxed, focused and at peace. (Pause) Each time you practice this exercise, You will find yourself relaxing to a greater and greater degree. (Pause) Your body feels totally relaxed as your mind is keenly alert, aware and very powerful. (Pause) You can achieve anything YOU want when you execute your own power. (Pause) You will sleep better when its time to sleep and you will find more energy when you are awake. (Pause) Your life is getting better and better. (Pause) Day by day, in every way you are getting better and better. (Pause) You feel good. You feel fine you feel totally and completely, relaxed. In a moment I am going to count from 1 to 5. (Pause) By the time I reach 5, you will be alert and awake and feeling better than you have ever felt before. (Pause) Each and every time you practice this exercise, you will find yourself relaxing to a greater and greater degree. (Pause) All right, one, two, three, four, five (Pause) You are wide-awake, alert and feeling better in every way! END OF INDUCTION How do you feel? You are rapidly gaining control over the problem you listed above and many more problems you may not have thought of yet! Activity 3 - Evaluate Your Induction Record your reactions and thoughts to this exercise by answering the following questions. What was the first thing you thought about as you finished the exercise?
How did you feel during the exercise?
How do you feel now?
Did you have any unusual sensations as you were listening to your voice?
List anything that you feel was "memorable" during the exercise.
Activity 4 - (Optional) Recording the Script Go back over the script, you prepared and substitute the word, "I" for the word "you." Record into the tape recorder. Label the tape, Chapter 5, Optional. Listen to the newly recorded tape. Use one of the extra Evaluate Your Induction forms located in the appendix, and answer the questions.
