With this simple exercise you will know how to hypnotize people, and nullify all the misconceptions you knew about hypnosis. Forget what you have seen in the movies or from a stage hypnotist at the county fair, this is hypnosis at its most basic level.

Have your volunteer sit somewhere with both feet firmly on the floor.

Have them take three very deep slow breaths then close their eyes and relax.

Reassure them that they will completely aware of everything that will happen and that they will be fully conscious through the entire exercise.

Have them take in a very deep breath in through their nose, completely filling their lungs with air. Count to three and have them slowly blow the air out through their mouth, letting all of the air out of their lungs, while they are relaxing their scalp, head, neck, and shoulders.

Breath in again deeply and slowly, this time while they exhale, have them relax their arms, chest and abdomen.

On the final deep breath, have them relax their hips, legs and toes as they breathe out.

Ask your subject to put their arms straight out from their body.

Tell them on their right arm is a bag of groceries hanging. It's not very heavy, just enough to notice the weight of the bag.

On the left arm tell them to picture a large bunch of helium balloons tied to their left hand.

Now paint them a vivid picture of the bag of groceries. Describe the bag to them, what kind of cans are in the bag. What size they are, what color the bag is, etc.

Now, close your eyes and make a picture of the balloons on their other arm. Tell them whether they are tied with yarn, kite string or green ribbon. How many are there, and what colors are they. Leave no detail out.

Now go back and focus on the bag. Start adding more content to the bag, a bottle of ketchup, a can of chicken noodle coup, a bag of carrots. Use whatever comes to mind, but be specific, keep painting the picture. Have them start to notice their right arm is beginning to struggle under the added weight. It is getting harder and harder to hold it up.

Turn your focus to the left arm and the balloons. Start adding balloons. The whole time making their arm lighter and lighter. Tell them it is getting harder and harder to keep their arm in front of them as the balloons pull up on their arm.

Now focus on the arms. Keep going back and forth from the left getting lighter to the right getting heavier.

After a couple minutes of description, reminding them to stay relaxed, you will notice their arms beginning to move. They may move only a couple of inches to a foot.

Make your descriptions very vivid, describe everything in complete detail. Once one or both arms have moved, have your volunteer open their eyes and notice the location of their arms.

They will be astounded, and so should you. You just learned how to hypnotize people.
