Here it comes…
Practice, practice, practice!
Zap your friends. Zap your family. Zap the checkout lady at the grocery store. Okay, maybe not the last one… without asking first.
And for those of you who are worried that it might not work… remember this little secret. Your subconscious mind doesn’t care if something happens in real life or just an imagined situation. It will treat it as an actual memory (to a degree).
So… as I tell my students; hypnotize your pillow or chair a thousand times. And by that, I mean ACTUALLY pretend that there is a person there and see them go through the process as you practice. See a different person every time, or perhaps every third or fourth time. But see things go differently with different people.
Eventually, your subC will consider that you have done this so many times that it will be able to take you through it easily any time you do it with a real live subject.
Personally, when I was doing this… way back in ancient history… I not only practiced it countless times, in different ways, with everything going smoothly, I practiced it going wrong every once in a while so that I wouldn’t be taken by surprise if it ever happened in real life. (And, of course it did because every person is different… and sometimes when you say ‘SLEEP’ they just don’t.)
Until next time…

Hello Jeff, first of all, thanks for your advises. I think you recommend that with the intention of make this proccess, an automatic one.
But I have a doubt, I heard some Hypnotists to say that first of all you have to do a pretalk to create the expectation that will cause the subject to enter in the hypnotic state when you say the word “sleep” (for example). But you say that the pretalk with that intention is unneccessary. I wonder how can I prevent the subject from the mistake of believe that they are going to sleep (like a night sleep), when they hear the word “sleep” if I don’t explain first in the pretalk what I really mean when I say the word “sleep”?
That was a big doubt that prevent me to begin to practice Instant Inductions, so I will really appreciate your explanations. Thank you in advanced for your time and for share with us your experiences and knowledge.
