First experience with hypnosis. I started thinking "ok, let's see" and then went down into a trance like a stone in the water. Wow!
That's great, enjoy your trances :)
@@aaronrussell6241 Of course you're allowed to blink???
Everyone keeps asking why Michael holds up a different number of fingers from what he's saying, and he's being coy about it and not explaining...so I will. This is a very common technique used in NLP hypnosis, a "confusion" technique. There are different ways of creating confusion, but the goal is to get the conscious mind so off balance that it will just step aside and let the unconscious mind (which is much more accepting of suggestions and of anomalous data) take over. And when that happens...you're in trance. You can see the same principle at work when a hypnotist puts out his hand to "shake", then yanks the subject off balance and catches them as they fall into a trance. It's the being off balance unexpectedly that does it. As you stumble forward, your conscious mind is confused; it was expecting a handshake and now you're stumbling instead. It steps aside for a moment. In that moment, the hypnotist commands, "SLEEP!" and your unconscious mind responds.
Thank you for the explanation. I was thoroughly confused. 😂
Thank you for enlightening us. I just laughed so hard while seeing he was showing different numbers with his fingers. Thinking what this is about.
Nothing to do with the Betty Erickson technique though.
I also wondered why he never took us back out of trance,,that didn't feel right
It for some reason scared me every time he showed the wrong number of fingers.
This video is genuinely good if you want to dip your toes into hypnosis for the first time! I felt going deeper and deeper as i progressed and reached a state of complete body relaxation which is genuinely difficult if i tried to force myself.
Mellen Thomas Benedict said self hypnosis is one of the best things that people can do. And now you taught me how to do it! It worked and it’s amazing.
guys, he's obviously holding up the wrong amount of fingers because you're not supposed to be looking at the screen...
There'd by no need to have any visual at that point - they could just present a blank screen with audio.
Your voice alone is hypnotizin, the tapping And breathing are engaging. I felt it all
Glad you enjoyed Ralph
Wow I didnt even realize I was doing this when Im stressed like stuck in traffic or at work. Really helpful for relaxing.
I found this a nice and easy technique to go into a serene and peaceful state of mind. Cheers for the upload!
You are welcome Alistair, glad you enjoyed the process.
This was wonderful! I love hypnosis and NLP, and I dropped into a deep trance very quickly, and I've been sick. So, as soon as I dropped into a deep trance, I deepened it and told myself to heal, which was beautiful. Thank you. I appreciate you!
That was DEEP! The video is 11:11 minutes long & that was the time when I was doing it! It worked! I’ll be doing that more often to release unserving thoughts and people from my mind. 🤯Thank you, Michael!
Hi Kaboom, I am pleased you enjoyed the process. Regards, Michael Carroll
Im writing tgis comment ant 12:21, I live in the USA but while in trance I got a phone call from UK(i never get international calls) the call was made at 12:12.😀
You were actually able to forget someone?
it's 11:10, actually
Self-hypnosis is the best way to access to your unconscious mind.
That was fantastic. Thank you!
Thank you, I enjoyed it
Getting connected to my body as well as my own self without any problem 👍🌸🌸🌸
Absolute best self hypnosis!! Well done
Glad you enjoyed, thank you for your feedback
Fantastic video. Very educational!!!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed, more to come!
Did anyone else experience wavy vision at the first part where you have to focus on a spot on the wall?
Thank you for your comments. Your 'wavy' vision can be explained by the overlapping of the peripheral and foveal vision systems as your eyes adjust to the fixation on the spot ahead.
Here is an article you might find interesting -

Many thanks to you, the way you teach is excellent with take the time , I enjoyed
This guy's skill is brilliant.
Thank you so much for the video. I’m doing laundry at the moment but after that when it’s a little bit more quiet I’m definitely going to try these technique. From the comments I can see that many people have very positive feedback on this technique so I’m very eager to try it myself.
Hope you enjoyed applying the self hypnosis
Holy hell, that was ridiculously quick. Really powerful and felt so different to my normal meditation trance. Thank you very much for this
Thank you for your feedback, we are pleased you enjoyed the experience 😀
Fantastic Micheal
Thank you
Excellent!
Why you used wrong no of fingers in the end of video? Do it have some signifacnce ,if yes what??
Have to confess, that I am reading plenty of material such as I wilL - Ben Sweetland, Midas Method and others whilst building up to what I am using them for. I am mainly focused on trading. I was just surfing on CZcams to look at focus and concentration. No idea how I landed here, but I did and came across this video... my goodness, I had to go to bed as I was almost asleep after listening to this chap. I do not mean that in a bad way either.
As the words I cannot no longer exist in my vocabulary I shall be researching the area a little more.
'
WOW... that was bizarre... I'm still trying to come back to reality. I do mindfulness mediation daily and this was totally different. I definitely went into a trance very quickly. Now I need to come up with a plan on how to reprogram during the trance.
do you mean that mindfulness and meditation make a side effect on you ?
Great to hear about the positive effects
Can you do this as a real and long self hypnosis video? It would be amazing
My spot on the wall was a clock. I heard the clock ticking my life away as I felt the endless tingling in my legs caused by the flu vaccine.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the video. I have a question though. Should we say all these things to ourselves out loud or in our mind? Many thanks!
Thank you so much. I'll definitely try this technique. Hope I won't fall asleep.
Hold a key in your hand so if you fall sleep get the key will hit the ground and you’ll wake up
@@kyinchi Thank you for you advice. Actually, I solved that issue I think. I don't fall asleep unless I'm either sleepy or tired.
Thank you!
You are welcome, we load another one tomorrow (24 March).
NLP Academy Tanks.
i was gone almost as soon as i had locked my gaze on a spot on the wall.
J'adore hypnose if i could learn it that would be with a gréât pleasure😊🎉
Thanks
Would be really interested to be put - or put myself - into trance, as I'm sure hypnosis has many benefits - and have tried several times, but unfortunately I tend to analyse the situation too much, just as I did with this video.....eg - Wondering where you're from? - Your accent? What got you into NLP? Am I doing it correctly? Am I beginning to feel trance like - or just trying to go along with it? Etc, etc, etc. Pity, as I'm actually quite fascinated by hypnosis.
This technique is really effective!
Glad you enjoyed Sonork, and thank you for commenting here
Trying to while I'm worrying
My alarm went off and I got distracted 😐
What happens when you can't find anything different to see hear feel
That was intense.
could it help with weight loss discipline?
What if there are not enough sounds around me? Do I create them?
There is a technical connection with Hakalau from meditation
Bizarre. You looked right at your fingers to see how many you held up and still held up the wrong amount. Is that on purpose?
I think it is, For becoming aware and present.
I makes the client go into TDS if you say the wrong amount on your fingers because their subconscious goes on overdrive to figure too much out at once when allows the target to be given nested loops or suggestions
@@alicemurphy4463 TDS?
Trance derivational search.. it is when people tune out and nod while saying yes but inside their inner world they are begging for a hypnotic command
My house is too quiet. I could only find 2 sounds for each one the same.
Was it the method that was relaxing or whatever he was doing with his fingers because number of fingers he was showing did not track what he was saying
What’s the deal with holding up the wrong amount of fingers?
It doesn't work with me :( I'm trying lucid dreaming since 2 months and doesn't work for me. Hypnosis doesn't work either. Meditation a little bit, but i really need to focus hard. It's like my mind is out of bounds.
Hi M. After the process is done ... can commands be self-introduced - for example calm anxiety let’s say?
Great work as usual.
Yes, when in the trance, you can give yourself suggestions, make sure you say them in the positive, that is calm, relaxed confidence, and not the inverse. Enjoy!
@@NLPacademy I am thinking of creating an audio with positive suggestions for when I am in a trance or falling asleep. should I record them in the first person or third person? IE "I am wealthy" or "you are wealthy"?
Liquidcadmus it should be: im wealthy , Never say I dont want..... or I will have.....should be present tense.I have level 3 nlp and is just awesome and simple. We can do everything with our minds as they are so powerful . 🙌just reprogram your mind and life will be much easier.
@@Tinayoga777 Mila, I am trying to reprogram my mind. I have even tried Ayahuasca and shrooms. Can you help me?
I think this would be good before an important social engagment or when feeling stressed about something!
Great video
Thank you :)
Boxing coach told me about self hypnosis
Where is the second part on deepening the trance state?
@@thedukeofnuts The deepening is the marinade.
confusion technique the difference between the visual fingers and verbal count left you unsure right.
What does NLP have to do with hypnosis?
did you purposely do the number of fingers wrong in the end?
Why am i feeling that he goes in and out of hypnosis himself ??? 😳🤪
He does, he does so to pace and lead the audience
Why different number of fingers to what you're saying
It's impossible to hear *6 different* sounds when you're in a quiet bedroom at night..🤷♀️
@@thedukeofnuts Thankyou so much for your great ideas. Very kind of you.
I was actually already including my breathing, the traffic and the occasional central heating click and because I was already listening on my phone, I could still only count four sounds max.
Have a blessed day xxx
@@YTV101 you could hear sounds in your mind as well
You can always make them happen, a cell phone with some soothing sounds for example.
Eat more fibre
what's the deal with holding up the wrong number of fingers every single time? Do you have discalculia, or was it an nlp technique????
I think you're right. I don't know what discalculia is but he said the wrong number the the first explanation too.
What’s up with him holding the wrong fingers up at the end of the video?
So you start off hearing three things, then two things that are different to the first three things, then one thing that is different to the first five things. How many people can hear six different things at the same time?
Hi Richard, thank you for visiting this page and commenting, The idea is you put your attention on your auditory experience and notice one element of sound at a time as you go through the process. In a trance you will be surprised what you can hear including the sounds that come internally, for example the inhale has a different sound to the exhale, and if you listen carefully enough you will notice different elements of sound in the breathing cycle and other sounds like the pulse in the ear which mirrors the heart beat. The fixation of attention on the different elements of sensory experience contribute to the trance that opens as result of the process, enjoy!
Wow i actually did ho in to trance.. im usually very sceptic
Dummy question here but were you able to go in a trance if you blinked?
@@laisha3903 yep! it’s like my eyes focused in on that spot on my wall amd whenever i would blink it would still feel focused, the rest of my room was blurry whenever i expanded my sight beyond just that spot on the wall
You actually did hoed in trance? How? And why?
Lol kidding
I wondered why he never took us back out of trance,,that didn't feel right
Habe never experienced that before , ?????
Again ... why when you said 1 you mark 4 fingers and when you say 3 you mark 2 ? That’s wasn’t done unintentionally for sure.
Ohhhh yesssss it was :) Michael Carroll
@@NLPacademy so why was that intentional? What did you hope to achieve?
So six things I can hear
do you verbalize or internalize voice
Internal
@@AdelleRamcharan thanks
The only issue I see with this technique is there is probably never going to be that many things you hear, that are different, in one session. Because that's, what, 6 things total that are all different?? I can't imagine a situation where there will be that many sounds around me, unless I attempt to create them for the session, such as turning on a TV, the washing machine, etc. And maybe I'm missing something but why do you keep holding up the wrong number of fingers for what you're telling us to see, feel, etc? haha

Thanks for the info, Michael, however I don't understand why you kept putting up incorrect fingers when expressing 3, 2, 1 things you can see, hear and feel. That was very distracting. Thanks.
😊😊😊
interesting, but it doesn'tg work with me.
paid $250 for hypnotherapy and I couldn't be hypnotized.
Wow that sucks they should refund u
We would recommend anyone who seeks hypnosis have a trial session with the hypnotist to see how he/she works and if their style works for them. Trance is such a personal state, there has to be rapport between the hypnotist and client.
Same. But i think you've got to feel safe. I felt quite safe alone in the entire house and went into a trance for the first time. ❤️
Get some pineapple Ex and do this before going to bed.
Is this the 7, plus or minus 2 rule
No, this is the Betty Erickson.
Feeling sleepy 🤔
Then it's working 🙂
"As you say to yourself three things you can hear."
What?
Has this been patched yet ??
@nlp academy 6789?
Those snaps scared me and distracted me, "thank" you
People with ADHD: Hold my brain waves.
Im scared
Seen this video two weeks ago. I was hypnotizing my self to try and make my life a little more relaxed. But I think at some point I thought about my asshole itching. I've been done had ass itch since...... Anyone wanna help me with this?
Is it Self Manifestation or try wiping alittle better before a mental session jk when I read this that's what popped up in my mind thought it was funny ,don't mean to offend ya unless your far left dem
He has a scarry look in the eyes.
I thought the same 😂
Hey there Michael,
I have used this video a couple of times to calm myself down and it worked great!
But now, the 6th or so time when following this video, I start to feel very uneasy, nervous and fidgety. I try to suppress the feeling it but it's still there and it causes me to get out of trance early. Any idea why this might happen or how to stop it?
I'm no expert, but one thing that might help is to allow the feeling to run it's course or to merely feel the feeling, as opposed to suppressing it. This can help during meditation too. Could be useful
@@proprgent, I would suggest, take some time with the Wave of Relaxation technique also on this channel, and then go for both processes on your own, (without the videos) which is the intention, self application of self hypnosis. Enjoy! Michael Carroll
Hindi me kahe
This is not bretty erickson technque. This is a method of hathyog which originated from long old Indian yoga system. Kindly don't degrade your consciousness and proclaim a method as your. And those who wish to go futher into it, the method is called TRATAKA and there are submethods in that.
👍❤🇧🇪😘
11:11 (;
Why is this guy not blinking
So whats the real reason for holding up the wrong amount of fingers? This was really unsettling and awkward and made me dislike the video.
Betty Erickson "a master hypnosis in her own right". You mean Hypnotist. You don't seem mindful of your wording. If you are going to Teach your audience then why aren't you telling them WHY you were putting up different amount of fingers that were not congruent with your words. That would be a sign of a good teacher. I understand scrambling the brain w/NLP & Hypnosis but if you are going to teach - give the reasons why you do things.
Jeez get over yourself this is a FREE video and he doesn't have to explain anything!
@@wurlybird6752 He actually does and your reasoning is dumb.
@@AladdinBinLaden He actually doesn't, he can do what he wants, none of us have paid for this and only whining snowflakes think they are entitled to everything for free. Tis not me who is the dumb one.
@@AladdinBinLaden my reasoning is based on law. If you think the law is dumb, that's up to you.
So if you do something for free it's ok to do an incomplete job or intentionally do weird shit without explination. That's your logic?
And you back it up with the law 😂
I bet you even took the covid vaccine with this garbage ass mindless malleable weak ass reasoning.
Excuse my shitty approach btw I don't mean to attack you personally, this is just how I feel about your display of reasoning.
I do think law is sometime retarded and most of the time is set to keep you in place instead of promoting what's best for you, like restricting research of psychedelics. (Not sure if that's still a thing but it's a good example regardless)
"in a hypnotic voice"??? Riiiiight ive better things to do then this, checking for Munge is probably better
did not like it
This guy looks so stressed !!! :-)
