Doted-mirror hypnosis

This method of hypnotism involves only two people: hypnotizer and one who will be hypnotized. It is also necessary no one disturbed them during the session of hypnosis. Another important condition for doted-mirror hypnosis is a secluded atmosphere of the room. There is no way for this method of hypnosis to be performed without light directed to the back of a person.

The doted-mirror method of hypnosis involves usage of some additional tools. Not hard to be that those additional tools are the mirror fixed on some handle and the light, as it was said before. So, a person is asked to sit down the arm-chair with his back to the source of light. The mirror is placed in front of the eyes of a person. It is not the common mirror but the mirror with small black dot in its middle.

The diameter of the dot has to be 1 centimeter. So, the mirror is placed in front of the eyes of a person in the way that will provide reflection of the light from the mirror to the eyes of a person. The mirror is moved by the hypnotizer up and down, left and right. Those motions have to be slow and moderate. Before the motions are performed, hypnotizer orders a person to fix his or her eyes on the dot.

Moving of the mirror is accompanied with low voice of hypnotizer. That voice tells a person that he or she feels calm. After a person does feel calm, voice says that soon the sleepy state will replace the calmness. After several minutes of such suggestion a person feels tired with his or her eyes and falls asleep. Before a person will fall asleep hypnotizer says that his or her sleep will last for 10 minutes.
