Hypnosis Happens: Impromptu Hypnosis Lecture Review

So what is hypnosis and how does hypnosis happen? The truth of the matter is depending on who you ask you’ll get a different answer each time. For as long as hypnosis has been around we have yet to come to a unified agreement as a profession on this question.

Why Is Hypnosis So Confusing To Some?

So why, when hypnosis has been around for so long are people still so confused when it comes to hypnosis? I personally believe the problem is that many of the hypnosis trainers in our profession try to make hypnosis out to be more than what it is, to make it larger than life. They try to add things on and create big words to impress their students and with each new generation of students the ideas and principals of hypnosis, true hypnosis becomes lost.

Heck, let’s be honest and admit that most hypnosis training is really nothing more than a clone of the last person they learned from. The only difference is that the teacher adds his own style and ideas to techniques he has already learned.

So in other words, we have a sea of clones within our profession and it’s because of this reason I’m introducing all of you, my readers to a new Hypnosis Training DVD by Reg Blackwood aka The Quicknotist which shines some much needed light on Hypnosis Training. Some of you may know Reg Blackwood from his very popular youtube clips, some which can be found below or his guest articles here on this blog.

Who Is Reg Blackwood?

Reg Blackwood is considered a leader within the New Zealand Hypnosis Movement and is one of the foremost experts on Impromptu & Street Hypnosis which has become very popular within the last few years. Reg has also been featured on radio and television and preforms regular stage shows as well. So Reg is no stranger to hypnosis, but what makes his new Hypnosis training DVD “Hypnosis Happens” stand out from the rest in the crowd?

Not Just Another Certification Course

Hypnosis Happens isn’t some massive certification course and it doesn’t focus on one particular subject or niche of hypnosis. Instead, it’s Reg in front of class breaking hypnosis down to it’s simplest and purest elements. No complex definitions or long drawn out speeches. No sales pitches or talks about how great he is at hypnosis. Reg teaches you hypnosis in a simple and easy to understand manner in a language most of us understand, simple plain English. This is important because Reg goes right into teaching the moment the DVD starts and doesn’t sugar coat a thing. Reg has a way of taken a subject and giving you the main stuff you need to know within moments to put it to work for you.

Reg doesn’t spend a lot of time going over each detail and when I first started to watch my review copy I got a little bit worried. I thought, for a brief second that this was going to be some rushed course, but the truth is that the more I watched the more I began to notice I was being fed PURE HYPNOSIS KNOWLEDGE and no fluff. If your new to hypnosis, you will relate to this statement more than most. If  you are going to be an effective Hypnotist you must shift through the garbage and find the gems. So a word of warning before you purchase this DVD. If your looking for long drawn out explanations and definitions don’t purchase this DVD. This DVD is for serious hypnotists who want to learn real world techniques.

Finally A DVD That Makes Me Think!

Now, just because Reg cuts through the crap isn’t the only reason I’m recommending this DVD. The other reason is that Reg isn’t a clone. During the course of Hypnosis Happens Reg gives his views and beliefs on hypnosis that differ from most traditional teachings of hypnosis. While I won’t spoil the fun for you Reg comes out and proclaims that

“Hypnosis Isn’t Self Hypnosis”

This is a bold statement as most schools of hypnosis teach that all hypnosis is self hypnosis and to be honest I follow that school of thought as well. A lot of it comes from my personal experiences with hypnosis, clients and my teachers who taught me. So the moment I heard Reg say that I didn’t agree with him at all, but I have to admit that the more I listened to Reg and his views on the subject a light bulb went off in my head. After some serious thinking I’m starting to rethink my beliefs on that issue. I’m a big believer in always expanding my mind and some of the stuff Reg Blackwood talks about in Hypnosis Happen will either have you yelling at the screen or opening your mind to new ways to view hypnosis and that is very refreshing in my opinion. Hell, I had about 4 different moments I started to think and reflect on what was said and for that alone I’m grateful.

What Does Hypnosis Happens Cover?

Now, Reg does go over some basic theories on Hypnosis Happens, but most of the information provided is stuff you can actually apply in the real world. Here are just a few of the topics Reg discusses:

• Definitions of Hypnosis

• Induction Theory and Induction Modification Theory

• Induction Demonstrations

• Deepening and Intensifying

• Delivering Suggestions

• Wake-up Procedure

• Safety &  a lot more…..

I was very impressed with the Instant Induction potion of the DVD because Reg doesn’t show you hundreds of Inductions….he shows you the inductions that work! I believe he taught 4 different inductions which are the ones he has found through years of practice to be the most effective in the field. I say field, because this DVD can be used for office based Hypnotists or Impromptu & Street Hypnotists. His explanation of the Handshake induction is one of the best I’ve heard in a while and he teaches a very unique version which is similar to one I use, but I’m sure most of you out there have never seen before. It’s very quick and very effective.

What Could Have Been Better

The only real setback to this project in my opinion is that it does leave you wanted more of Reg’s teachings. There were parts where I wish he went into a little more explanation as I just wanted some more clarification. I would have also liked to have seen Reg with work some different people at the event instead of the main subject. Still, nothing that would keep me from investing in this project as this DVD is a solid investment for anyone new to hypnosis or just anyone who wants to add some new skills to their aserenal.

In Conclusion

This course isn’t going to teach you everything you need to know or how to run a successful practice and you won’t be certified by the end, but the one thing Hypnosis Happens will teach you is how to hypnotize  someone quickly and with confidence and last but not least it will give you a clear picture of what hypnosis is without all the bull.
