    Hey guys. I just have a simple question. Is it possible to hypnotize someone through a text or email message?

    or just use things like
    "hi i just saw a car on the curb and it had a really big scratch and i was wondering if it was your car. i heard from a smart friend of mine who knows" this will compell them to scratch their nose. besides their subconsious mind will allow for it to be in the "knows" form and not "nose"

    Yes. It's like conversational hypnosis, but harder.

    I tend to say that your results are limited, because unlike spoken language you cannot put in those tonality of the emotions you want to elicit in words. Marking out the hidden commands are too obvious and you miss the feedback from your hypnotee.

    A good comparison is a good book, what can you get from a good book, the basic emotions: "anxious, laughter and sadness" that's about the level you can get. *Books or hypnotic*
    Our perception is made up of what we: see, feel, hear, smell and taste... It makes you wonder what reality is really like.

    Yes, It is possible! The only difference is that they are very light hypnotized.
    They have to keep there eyes open and cant relax very well.

    Im very good in going under hypnosis, but text and email hypnosis doest work with me
    very well.

    @Astrid hypnosis has nothing to do with relaxing in this case, it has to do with describing a new reality and evoking those emotions. A good poem or a good story does that and you have your eyes open. However the emotions you can elicit are rather limited through text because you are not associated with a text-message, unlike a person, words or books into which you completely emerse yourself.

    If it's possible, how would I go about actually using it?

    Here a small example:


    While you are sitting in your chair, looking at the screen of your computer
    you can start noticing your breathing...

    With every word you are reading your breathing becomes deeper...

    And slower...

    Deeper and slower as they relax....

    Your mind focusing on the words

    As they drift up the screen...

    Feeling your body and your mind relaxing....

    Letting go....

    And drifting down.....

    It feels so good to drift down....

    To let go....

    ...

    (just a small example)

    Masker97 you cannot do anything like making them a princess or anything like that, that suggestions is not plausible in that mind set. It's more used to elicit emotions the example of Astrid is there to give you a relaxing feeling.

    thanks. But how would I use this on someone who doesn't know they're being hyontized or doesn't necessarily want to be?

    In this case, the purpose of text hypnosis must be persuasion and influence. And that's when you can use covert hypnotic techniques like pacing and leading, Milton & meta model patterns, framing techniques, embedded commands etc...
    In order to understand all this you need to take a crash course on conversational hypnosis.

    Do you know of any good crash courses on conversational hypnosis? I don't have money to use so they need to be free.

    @Astrid I put another example on a different post on the blog, you can find it here http://wikihyp.com/?p=43

    @Masker97 I have an example of doing this covertly somewhere in my archives, I'll need to dig it up some day. If I recall correctly, it was in the context of a survey on sleep where I asked them questions about how they felt when they went to sleep and so on.

    In your example it's too obvious @ballcore13.

    In text hypnosis I prefer to use other methods in covert hypnosis, like pacing and leading etc...

    IMHO I would say that it depends on how long the text is. I've done "text hypnosis" for years.
    What do you want? Where are you in relation to that? And what do you need to pull in to get there?
