COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Welcome to one of the most comprehensive and intensive seminars in Speed Hypnosis: Instant and Rapid Hypnosis Techniques (Anyplace, Anytime, Anytrance) you can find. In this seminar, you will learn the real secrets of the truly fast, faster, fastest hypnosis inductions. The hand may be quicker than the eye, but in this course, you will learn how deep trance can be attained quicker than the hand, the eye, or the suggestion of hypnosis itself.

You will learn how to apply these techniques to any location, any context, and trance opportunity. You will learn the techniques as well as the operators behind them that allow you to adapt to any situation and even create new processes or techniques on-the-fly appropriate to the situation. These are the hypnosis methods that have been proven effective in walkabout trance street hypnosis, clinical hypnotherapy, entertainment hypnosis shows, club trance, educational contexts, and much much more.

Since we will be holding this rare event at a beautiful beach resort, a special component of this unique course is that we will be practicing both in the classroom with one another and out on the boardwalk and in the clubs or restaurants with real live members of the public as our trance partners (consenting members of the public, of course). In addition to the inductions themselves, you will learn walkabout trance techniques such as Walkup Approaches and Openers and how to maximize expectation and to engage and intensify a prospective trance partner’s imaginative involvement in order to ensure the success of your trance patter. You will learn and practice patterns and processes that are light and playful which can then easily be converted into full-on hypnotic phenomena. You will learn how to take something simple like a suggestibility test and turn it into deep hypnosis in very little time. You will learn how to take any context and use it to create completely original inductions out of whole cloth, improvisational trance creation, instantly. These walkabout/street techniques can then be used very effectively in the clinic with your hypnotherapy clients or in the club or elsewhere for simple trance fun, or on stage as part of a hypnotic demonstration or all-out entertaining performance.

What will you learn in this seminar?

Learn the Characteristics and Parts of Instant and Rapid Hypnosis Inductions, the real secrets that allow you to use any induction in a rapid or instant context. You will learn, practice, and master over thirty speed hypnosis techniques.

INSTRUCTOR:

The course is taught by Rev. Dr. Brian David Phillips, an internationally known and respected hypnosis practitioner, educator, author, and entertainer. Dr. Phillips is President of the Society of Experiential Trance and has in the past served as editor of the peer-reviewed Journal of Applied Hypnotic Arts and Sciences. Dr. Phillips is the coordinator and chief instructor for the oldest English-language hypnosis and focused-trance practice group in Taiwan and is the owner and moderator of one of the largest online email discussion communities related to hypnosis and focused trance techniques. He has taught numerous workshops and seminars on hypnosis, focused trance, and experiential hypnosis as well as a number of webinars (web-based seminars) on these and related subjects. Dr. Phillips is an associate professor at National Chengchi University. Dr. Phillips uses rapid and instant hypnosis inductions routinely in his Waking Dreams Hypnosis Show, the only ongoing entertainment comedy hypnosis stage show in Taiwan.

TEACHING METHODS:

This course relies upon a very fast-paced system of demonstration and practice. More than any other course, this seminar consists of demonstration, explanation, practice, practice, practice. It is NOT intended as a lecture or passive learning experience. It is a very fast-paced and energetic program so students should come ready, willing, able, and eager to jump right in and run full speed ahead. The teaching methodology is very active. Students will learn through all of their sensory learning channels, particularly aural, visual, and kinesthetic . . . listening, seeing, and doing . . . as it is a practical applications competence course, there is a great deal of supervised "doing" with immediate and useful feedback. Typically, for each subject or technique, the training is within the following process model: 1. instructor briefs students on the topic, 2. instructor demonstrates technique with student volunteer, 3. the demonstration is then broken down into steps, 4. students then practice the technique several times with one another under guidance of the instructor with ongoing feedback, 5. class debriefs about experience and technique with performance notes from instructor, 6. students continue advanced practice (including homework for some techniques), 7. final debriefing with instructor. The course focuses upon competence and application of material. Taking advantage of the environment and foot traffic in and around the beautiful beach resort which acts as the venue for this getaway training, we will incorporate formal and informal walkabout trance style practice sessions in which students will be grouped into “teams” and asked to go out and just do it by politely approaching members of the public and inviting them to act as consenting trance partners to experience the wonderful blissful state of hypnosis.

COURSE MATERIALS:

Students will receive the course manual, Speed Hypnosis: Instant and Rapid Hypnosis Inductions (Secrets of Fast, Faster, Fastest Hypnotic Techniques) by Brian David Phillips, detailing over fifty instant and rapid hypnosis inductions and techniques.

Please, students may not use recording devices during the course. However, the instructor will record the training.
