“How do you induce catalepsy here?”

My reply:

Lots of it is done symbolically and non-verbally – by intimating with the hands and the way I mime/map out how she’ll fall is a non-verbal hypnotic suggestion as well as a powerful presupposition.

In addition, catalepsy is often a by-product of deep hypnosis anyway and often occurs by itself.

Individuals are often nervous doing this kind of induction. I purposely encourage the nervousness with ideas guised within humour… This amplifies the hypnotic state incredibly prior to the main part of the induction occuring.
