have you ever wondered if you can be hypnotized now is your chance to find out hi i'm jordan schatz i'm the owner of golden hour hypnosis i work with people every day to use hypnosis to find ways to feel better in an anxious stress-filled world i love guiding people through this process and seeing the amazing things that happen when i teach someone the tools the skills the habits that they can use to get out of their own way but inevitably i speak to people who say something along the lines of i don't think i can be hypnotized or perhaps you may have wondered yourself can i be hypnotized will hypnosis work for me so the short answer is yes of course okay video over thanks everybody the point is you're a human with a functioning mind you experience hypnosis to some degree or another every day and yes you can access the hypnotic resource state if you want to that said some people are naturally more hypnotizable than others for whatever reason there's some particular aspect of the hypnotic process that comes a little more naturally and automatically to them maybe it's the ability to focus attention or follow instruction maybe they have particularly vivid imaginations or are naturally curious there's a good chance you fall into this group for one of these reasons while others are naturally a little more resistant so will require a slightly different approach to experience the desired outcome as with a lot of things in life everyone falls somewhere along the spectrum and the distribution isn't even there's usually about 10 or so of people gathered at the extreme far ends while most of us fall somewhere in the middle everyone is capable of developing this skill over time one method a lot of hypnotists use is called the spiegel eye roll test it's named after a study published by dr herbert spiegel a long time ago both he and his son alan spiegel are prominent figures in the world of clinical hypnosis none of which is really important for our purposes right now it's super simple only takes a few seconds and you'll need another person around to take note of how you do or you can use your phone to record yourself see your results so start by staring straight ahead then look up at your eyebrows then look up even further up at the top of your head like you have a little window on the top of your skull that you're trying to look out of and then slowly let your eyelids close on down that's it so one more time you look up all the way up and let your eyelids slowly close on down open your eyes let the focus return what are we looking for we're taking note of the up gaze the ability to look way way up we're looking at the eye roll which is the amount of sclera the white part of your eye that's visible when you close the eyelids and we're looking to see if there's any fluttering of the eyelids on the way down it's pretty simple so what does it mean well generally speaking the more you can gaze up the more sclera showing when you lower your eyelids the more the eyelids flutter the more likely it is you are a great subject for hypnotism you are naturally inclined to enter the hypnotic resource state easily and respond really well to suggestions that you give yourself or that are given to you by a trained hypnotist but what if you're in that other smaller group what if your eyelids didn't flutter or there was no white showing as you closed your eyes does that mean you can't be hypnotized absolutely not in fact now it means we have more information to go on and have a better sense of how to approach your mind everybody has natural strengths advantages and preferred methods of learning that are best suited to them everyone is capable of responding to the right techniques when delivered appropriately also a big caveat with this test some hypnotists really love this exercise they find it to be an accurate gauge of natural receptivity to hypnosis but there are many who don't really use it at all in fact i tend to agree with those who believe that we are all responsive to suggestion to one degree or another all the time it's just a matter of figuring out the methods that are going to be most effective an exercise like this may not predict hypnosis but it will help put you on the path to hypnosis simply by fixing your attention the best predictor of all did you follow my instructions did you get something positive out of this interaction if that's the case then there's an excellent chance hypnosis will work really great for you so give it a shot do the spiegel eye roll test let me know about your experience you can tell me about it in the comments and when you're ready to explore more ways to use hypnosis to feel better in a stress-filled world you can visit me at goldenhourhypnosis.com just click on get started now to schedule your free hypnosis strategy call with me i would love to talk with you more you
