Progressive Relaxation Induction
A method to induce hypnosis by calming the body progressively from one end to the other, often starting at the feet and moving to the head.
Rapid Induction
Quickly induces hypnosis through a sudden, unexpected action or command that captures full attention and induces a trance state.
Eye Fixation Technique
A classic hypnotic induction method that involves having the subject fixate their gaze on an object, leading to eye fatigue and increased suggestibility.
Confusion Technique
Overwhelms the conscious mind with confusing or nonsensical information or instructions, leading to a trance as the mind tries to sort through the confusion.

Pendulum Method
