Hypnosis Techniques--Combining Power Loops With Suggestion

By Dr. Anthony Taylor

Can you remember a time when you told someone something but they forgot what you explained to them? Sometimes you tell a person the same thing again and again, and it seems like they never once heard what you said. This is a break down in our communication that happens more frequently than you may be aware of. It is for this reason that hypnosis trainers have always taught the necessity of including repetition with your communication tactics.

Hypnotists are also well aware that people are not likely to absorb a suggestion unless the suggestion is continual. This is why many hypnosis methods are built-in with repetition. The hypnotist repeats the same suggestions in different ways in order for the suggestions to take root.

In fact, not only do you have the option of repeating the hypnosis strategies that you are using, most hypnosis strategies NEED to be repeated in order for them to be effective. Hypnosis techniques are delivered through the vehicle of suggestion. However, in order for hypnotic suggestions to take root, they need to be repeated enough times so that they will effectively take root in the person's unconscious mind whom you are influencing.

The technique used in hypnosis for repeating suggestions is called Power Loops. You use Power Loops to continue looping around hypnotic suggestions in order to make your suggestions potent enough to take root in a person's unconscious mind. Each time you loop around a suggestion, you make the suggestion more powerful. Needless to say, the more Power Loops you use, the more power you are adding to your hypnosis strategies.

As a rule, most competent hypnotists utilize what is recognized as The Blackjack rule as a benchmark to determine how many Power Loops they should use to repeat their suggestions. The Blackjack rule states that a hypnotic suggestion should be repeated 21 times in order for the hypnosis procedure to take root in a person's unconscious mind to the point where the suggestion is able to grow and yield results. - 31985
