How to put a person into hypnosis without him noticing

The offer to attend several sessions of hypnosis no longer surprises patients who come for an appointment at the hospital, but for many, the procedure for inducing trance still causes a feeling of mistrust and fear. Hypnosis is one of the most popular treatment methods used by psychotherapists to rid the patient of internal fears, destructive attitudes, harmful addictions, and to solve long-standing psycho-emotional problems. It will be useful for those wishing to undergo this procedure to know how to put a person into hypnosis, and whether it is possible to master such techniques on their own.

Stages of hypnotizing a person

You can only hypnotize a person with his consent. First, make sure you really need it. Ask yourself if you are ready to take responsibility for someone else's life and health. If you are ready, you can start.

Preparation with mirror exercises. Maintaining a gaze that carries the necessary information. Learn to focus your gaze. To do this, use a pencil. Hold it in front of you, and then suddenly look to the other side of the room. Repeat the action. Development of lateral vision. Try to see as many details as possible on the sides while sitting in one position and without turning your head. Training for the first hypnosis session. Find someone who isn't afraid to get involved. Realize that you will take full responsibility for this person. Ask the person to look you in the eyes without blinking or turning away

Speak the words quietly, calmly, their careful use will relax the interlocutor. You need to try to show confidence in your gaze

Repeat with authority: “your eyelids become heavy, you want to sleep, you calm down and relax, your breathing becomes calm and even, you don’t think about anything, you just fall asleep. Your body becomes heavy, leaden, you can’t hold it, it wants to lie down and drags you along with it.” Repeat phrases several times. When you see that the person is relaxed, ask permission to touch his shoulder. Tell the person that immediately after you touch them, they will be able to fall asleep. After this, tell him that everything is fine, he is under hypnosis, and his condition is normal. Tell your coachee to listen to your voice. Count from five to one and click with two fingers. The person will be in your attention. He will perceive everything you say with great significance, because he is in a helpless state. You can program this person to think positively or distract him from obsessive thoughts if the situation requires it. You can check a person’s condition by holding his hand in your palm. If it is heavy and cannot stand on its own, then hypnosis works. When the session is over, you need to warn the patient that you will now awaken him to real life. Tell him that when you count from five to one, he will wake up. After counting “one,” snap your fingers sharply. The person will immediately come to his senses. Let him know where he is and what's happening to him by continuing the casual conversation.

Method 1.

Each personality is the owner of a strict censor: a consciousness that seeks to prevent and resists influence from the outside. This mechanism actively and successfully suppresses any external influence. It is thanks to the tutelage of this critic that a person can verbally agree with the opponent’s opinion, but in his head hold a completely different point of view. However, it is quite possible to lull the vigilance of this guard by ensuring that your appeal during hypnosis will be addressed directly to the sphere of the subconscious.

It has been established that if the number of voluntary, one after another, agreements exceeds four “Yes” answers, the consciousness weakens its grip, and the brain interprets further information as its own conclusions. That is, in order to put the patient into hypnosis and set him up to assimilate suggestions, it is necessary to structure the conversation so that at least four affirmative answers follow in a row.

For example:

“Is the weather beautiful today?” - "Yes"
“Do you like the awakening of nature?” - "Yes"
“Do you like sunny, warm days?” - "Yes"
“Are you pleased and comfortable?” - "Yes"
“Do your eyelids become heavy and sticky, do you fall asleep?” - "Yes"

It is worth considering that this method of putting a person into hypnosis works when you have captured the person’s attention, have previously talked with him, and he is comfortable and calm. This trick is useless if a person’s thoughts are focused on something else, for example: he is hot and he really wants it. Or he enthusiastically examines the “picturesque landscape” on your wall and sincerely laughs at the artist’s blatant mistakes.

Simple ways to protect yourself

It is no coincidence that people often cannot withstand the onslaught of a judgmental and reproachful look and often hide their eyes or turn away altogether. This way they avoid receiving the flow of negative energy and, accordingly, protect themselves. Therefore, the easiest way to protect yourself is not to look directly into the eyes of a person prone to anger and other negative emotions. As a last resort, it would be safer to look at the bridge of his nose or forehead. Then he most likely will not pay attention, unless he feels something subtly unpleasant and cold due to the fact that real contact with you will not happen, and most of the negativity will remain in him. Thus, the aggressor will harm only himself.

In order not to succumb to suggestion from the outside, do not look at the person continuously during a conversation, but glance to the side from time to time. This will give you the opportunity to maintain your thoughts and mental balance. Of course, it is almost impossible for an ordinary person to protect himself from the influence of real hypnotists, so it is better to avoid such people, not allowing the slightest contact with them.

There are special techniques and exercises that will help you protect yourself from third-party energy influences, protect you from other people’s thoughts and dangerous energy. For example: crossed arms or legs are the easiest way to protect yourself. When crossing, the dissipation of the flow of bioenergy of the body is limited, which protects it and prevents harm. Use this technique in a conversation with a potentially dangerous and unpleasant person.

You can also do the following mental exercise: visualization of a mirror shield. To do this, you need to imagine that you are obscured by a large shield with a mirror surface facing the unwanted interlocutor. And every time he tries to influence you, he will always receive a blow reflected by the mirror in response. As a result, all the negativity will return back to the one who sent it, and you won’t even feel anything bad.

How to learn gypsy hypnosis, hypnotize people with your eyes: tips

We have already described above the distinctive characteristics of gypsy or, as it is also called, street hypnosis. In principle, we will give tips that will help you master any other hypnosis.

The first requirement is self-confidence. She should not hesitate, because only a person who is absolutely confident in himself can hypnotize with his gaze

To do this, it is important to have high self-esteem, so work on yourself. Appearance also plays a big role. There must be an image of a presentable and even authoritative person in order for one to want to trust him. Work on your diction

Words should be pronounced clearly and slowly, and the voice should be full of confidence and firmness. But without unnecessary pressure, otherwise you can only scare the patient away. And the main secret of gypsy hypnosis is the rearrangement of words and a continuous flow of information. Also, do not forget that the voice should lull a person’s consciousness. Don't shout and stick to the same rhythm. In the beginning, of course, you need to practice on your friend, who will give voluntary consent. In the future, you can train on strangers, but know how to choose the right person. Even gypsies approach weak and insecure representatives. Therefore, learn to identify and understand people. Another tip is to copy the behavior and facial expressions of the subject. This can help him understand and connect better.

The main thing that gypsies use in conversation is putting pressure on a person’s misfortunes. It doesn't matter if it's in the past, future or present. As a rule, they all have a similar character. Use general phrases, but don’t go too far. There is no need to be too frightening either. Ask questions of a personal nature, but after an established contact. The person, without even realizing it, will begin to answer the questions posed. And the last piece of advice – don’t give up! Gypsies are also distinguished by their pressure (yes, they often attack in groups so that the victim cannot escape), but they do not give up until the last moment. If you fail, don't get discouraged and don't lose faith in yourself. Remember that “Moscow was not built at once.” Therefore, train and next time you will definitely succeed.

Gypsy hypnosis

You should also know what can cause failure or even prevent you from establishing contact:

This is nicotine or drug addiction. Yes, we have already mentioned this. The fact is that a smoking person does not control his consciousness. How can it influence the consciousness of another person?
Alcohol will also become a blocker for establishing contact. The fact is that alcoholic drinks dissipate consciousness, and you won’t be able to master hypnosis.
Even banal coffee will become a hindrance. After all, it is a stimulant of the nervous system.
Do not use hypnosis for any harm. Remember that any action will come back to you like a boomerang. And in double size. Therefore, hypnosis can only be used for good.

Power of Gaze: Hypnosis.

The hypnotist's gaze is not just a motionless, glassy gaze directed at one point. The hypnotist's gaze expresses unshakable willpower through the eyes, nerves, and muscles. Anyone who meets such a gaze immediately feels what enormous inner strength the gaze expresses. It is no coincidence that in many martial arts fighters begin their fight with a battle of views. And, as a rule, they determine the balance of power by the strength of their gaze. This look is rarely given by nature; as a rule, it is developed through special exercises. As the power of gaze develops, hypnotic abilities also develop. Anyone who develops the power of their gaze will notice after short training that it is easier for them to solve all everyday issues related to persuading their interlocutor. With each new workout this effect will increase. This view is a treasure trove for any person and should be developed even by those who do not intend to become a hypnotist. Even animals are afraid of this look. Through the gaze, thought is transmitted and willpower operates. The gaze, when it reaches all the power of insight and influence, is a terrible weapon if possessed by a person with bad inclinations. There are a number of simple exercises that will give your eyes unshakable willpower. These exercises are given by me in the book “Induced Hypnosis”.

How to influence the subconscious

The hypnotic effect occurs through the invocation of subconscious trust and the establishment of so-called rapport. The theory, techniques and practice of hypnosis are inextricably linked with this concept. Rapport is the connection established by the hypnotist with the hypnotized person.

With the establishment of rapport, the hypnotized person becomes more receptive to the suggested words of the hypnotist, readiness to carry out suggested tasks, and loses reaction to other external stimuli. To create unconscious trust and rapport, the hypnotist identifies himself with the hypnotized person - makes his behavior similar, adjusts his posture, gestures, movements, and breathing patterns.

Adjustment to posture and movements

The simplest technique in creating subconscious trust is to adjust to the pose of the person being hypnotized - it must be copied, directly or crosswise (that is, like in a mirror). If, for example, the client's left leg is on top when crossing his legs, when cross-adjusting, the hypnotist should have his left leg on top. But a person rarely sits still, so movements also become the subject of adjustment. This adjustment is more difficult; you need to be very careful, watching and repeating gestures and facial expressions, and at the same time not letting your partner realize it.

The easiest way is to adapt to a person’s gestures, and when copying a gesture, you don’t have to complete it, but only outline and repeat the direction. It is convenient to reproduce the frequency of blinking - the opposite party is almost never aware of this.

To learn this technique, you need to do exercises - copy the pose of a person who is in a motionless state. Repeat changes in posture, gestures, movements

When copying a movement, you can only reflect it by direction; it is important to repeat its frequency. By copying the rhythm of blinking, you can stop it at some point or close your eyes

If the subject does the same, it means that the adjustment is working and the state of hypnosis is approaching.

Adjusting to breathing

Training to adjust to breathing requires a lot of attention, since there is a direct connection between this function and the subconscious. The direct type of adjustment is an exact copying of the rhythm of the subject's inhalations and exhalations. This adjustment is most effective. But if a person's breathing rhythm is too fast or slow, it may be difficult to reproduce. In this case, indirect adjustment is used - they copy the breathing rhythm by moving, for example, a finger.

When performing training exercises, you need to work on both types of adjustments. Watching the person, begin to breathe evenly in time with his inhalations and exhalations. Then select a subject with an increased breathing rate and try to copy the rhythm of inhalation and exhalation by shaking your leg or moving your finger.

Voice and speech

The voice is the hypnotist's working tool. A clear, strong, pleasant voice, easily moving from tone to tone, introduces the hypnotized person into a state of trance. Speech should be clear, unhurried, and convincing. It is necessary to develop your own voice, which will act hypnotically, train it in accordance with these requirements, learn to change intonation, make it rhythmic if necessary.

There are two more rules used in hypnosis:

The speech should not contain negatives. Negations do not exist in the subconscious; it does not perceive them. An exercise for training such speech is to avoid using the particle “not” at all for some time, and instead of using negative words, use others that are suitable in meaning. Then return to normal speech, but when talking about experiences, do not use the negative particle.
Phrases should be general in nature, not specific to the situation. The person being hypnotized must have unoccupied space for his impressions and feelings. This facilitates a faster introduction into trance.

After these initial techniques have been successfully mastered, you can move on - study and train in a self-instruction manual on the basics of hypnosis, techniques for inducing trance through associations, suggestion with command words, hypnotization with built-in messages, using a person’s natural trance. Mastering the techniques of breaking patterns, overloading, and anchoring will add to your knowledge and techniques.

It is also important to pay attention to autogenic training

This is only a small part of the recommendations and exercises for mastering hypnosis. To learn practical hypnosis, you need to work hard using the hypnosis tutorial for beginners, use videos with exercises, examples of techniques, and advice from experienced specialists. Such information can be obtained on the channel of psychologist and hypnologist Nikita Valerievich Baturin.

Hypnosis as a phenomenon

Hypnosis is a procedure that involves changing consciousness to such a state during which any attitude can be suggested to a person. In ordinary life, a person is guided by consciousness. It filters all incoming information and then eliminates it. Consciousness creates fears, doubts and self-doubt.

During hypnosis, its influence decreases, and everything that is said during the session is perceived by the subconscious. The resulting command is immediately assimilated as an important idea, the result of long-term reflection. As a result, the resulting installation quickly takes root. For such suggestion, a person is put into a trance state. This is the borderline position between sleep and wakefulness.

A state of trance

Trance is the basis of hypnosis. Without it, it is impossible to instill a new attitude. In a state of trance, a person feels everything that happens to him, but does not try to react to it. She is relaxed and calm.

When induction into trance is useful:

If a person is overcome by primary phobias, the treatment of psychological problems is more difficult.
When the patient resists, he does not recognize the problem.
If the introduction to a borderline state accelerates therapy (psychotherapy is used).

The trance state is not dangerous for a man or woman. A person is defenseless only in front of his own fears. Hypnotherapy is used in courses and allows you to change the way an individual thinks. Over time, new behaviors and habits are formed. Hypnosis does not affect human nature, but changes only those character traits that were formed for one or another negative reason.

general description

Surely you have met people who seem to be naturally endowed with such a gift. They look into your eyes without blinking, and seem to read your thoughts. Under such a gaze you involuntarily get lost. The hypnotic gaze works on almost all patients. In addition, the hypnotist very skillfully conducts a conversation, constructing sentences in such a way that the person will agree with him. All this is necessary to create the precondition for a special state in which a person will be more susceptible to suggestion.

Moreover, this will take quite a lot of time. It is necessary not only to choose the right ones, but also to repeat the exercises many times. The hypnotic gaze is not difficult at all. You just need to repeat simple exercises day after day. At the initial stages, you need to choose only the simplest ones. They are not so much effective as they are useful.

The first step is to master general gaze training and calmness in presence. After this, you need to learn how to transmit:

Sparkle in the eyes.
Emotional message.

It sounds simple, but in fact you will have to work hard to master them to the required extent. The required skill develops gradually. The hypnotist goes deeper into training and changes not only his view of familiar things, but also his manner of behavior. That is, his mind and physiology are gradually rebuilt.

Draw a circle with a diameter of 1 cm on paper and hang it at a distance of 2 meters at eye level. Look at it for a minute without blinking. It won't work out at first, but gradually you will get there. Move the sheet to the right or left 1-2 meters and continue looking at the point. Walk around the room without taking your eyes off her. Take two sheets of paper with dots and quickly move your gaze from one to the other.

It is important not to blink.

Every day you need to increase the time a little. Gradually it will become very easy to watch without blinking for a few minutes. This creates a deep, interested look.

Preparatory stage

First you need to find a person who has a sincere desire to undergo a session. This is a must. If the hypnotized person does not believe in the effectiveness of hypnotherapy and does not want to succumb to it, then it is extremely difficult to put him into a trance, especially for a novice hypnotist. People who have mental disorders cannot be put into a state of altered consciousness. The procedure can cause a relapse and lead to serious and sometimes dangerous consequences.

You need to prepare the place where the session will be held. This implies the following points:

Choose a quiet room where the person will feel peaceful and comfortable.
Minimizing lighting and keeping the room as clear as possible will help the person being hypnotized to concentrate on the words and actions of the hypnotist.
Turn off cell phones and other means of communication for the duration of the session.
Close all windows if it is noisy outside.
Warn all close people living in the house (apartment) not to enter the room until the session is completed.

Before the procedure, talk with your partner. The patient should know what to expect. Hypnosis is a simple, but at the same time effective relaxation technique that helps not only relax, but also find the necessary answers in your subconscious. A person independently enters a trance while reading a book or watching a movie, etc. It is better to say in advance that:

No one controls anyone during the session.
He will not be immersed in an unconscious (limited) state.
He will not be forced to do anything he does not like.

Hypnosis helps get rid of anxious thoughts, strengthens mindfulness, and is used for complete relaxation during stressful situations. Understanding by partners of goals and motives helps to quickly bring a person into a state of hypnotic trance.

Another important point that is worth checking with the person being hypnotized is whether he has undergone previous sessions of the procedure. If yes, then you need to find out what they told him, what was his reaction to certain actions? This will help the hypnotist understand what needs to be avoided and the degree of suggestibility of a person. For good communication with the patient, prepare for the most popular questions.

Warning

There are prohibitions and certain rules that must be followed if you decide to master hypnosis:

Do not use skills to harm anyone. Your actions should only bring benefits and improve a person’s life. If you use hypnosis for selfish purposes, trying to instill negative attitudes in the subject, you harm not only him, but also your own energy.
Don't overuse hypnosis. There is no need to exceed the recommended time for staying in a trance. Otherwise, you can achieve the opposite result - not cure the psyche, but weaken it.
Do not forget to properly remove a person from a trance - after the session he should feel as comfortable and relaxed as before immersion in hypnosis.
The room where the session will take place should be quiet, calm, and the lights should be dimmed. The hypnotist’s words are also pronounced quietly, monotonously, in a half-whisper.

Don't expect to be able to put someone into a trance on the first try. Only people who have a certain gift from birth can do this. It is necessary to develop the skill of a hypnotist gradually.

Development of a magnetic gaze: exercises

These exercises are both the best method to develop a magnetic look, and eye gymnastics to improve vision.

Take a clean white A4 sheet and draw a black circle with a 10-kopeck coin in the center. Attach it to the wall and at a distance of 2 meters, while the circle should be at eye level when you are sitting. Place a chair in the middle of the room, just opposite the paper. Thus, focus on the point in the center and direct your gaze directly at it, firmly, without blinking. To begin with, one minute is enough, then when your eyes have rested, repeat this exercise again, and so on 5 times. At first I couldn’t hold it even for a minute, but believe me, over time with regular training, success will not be long in coming.

Leave the chair in its original place, move the paper a meter to the right of its original position. Sit down and again direct your gaze intently at the black dot, without turning your head. Also repeat the exercise by moving the sheet of paper with the dot to the left, and so repeat 5 times, a minute to the right, a minute to the left.

This exercise develops concentration, the main thing is to concentrate on the point without being distracted by anything, you cannot blink your eyes. There may be a lot of tearing at first, but it will go away with regular exercise. If your eyes are very tired after training, you can rinse them with cold water or apply a compress.

It is very important that these exercises are carried out in natural light. This exercise should be performed daily, increasing by a minute every 3 days.

To avoid straining your eyes, you should not perform this exercise for more than 15 minutes.

This exercise should be performed daily, increasing by a minute every 3 days. To avoid straining your eyes, you should not perform this exercise for more than 15 minutes.

After a month of training, exercise 1 can be complicated by adding various options, for example:

After the concentration of gaze is acquired, you can begin exercises to develop a central gaze. To do this, you need to sit in front of the mirror and direct your piercing gaze at your reflection - at the bridge of the nose, between the eyebrows. This place is also called the third eye. In order to facilitate the exercise at the initial stages, you need to draw a point between the eyebrows and look closely at it, starting from one minute, every 2-3 days you need to add 1 minute (but no more than 15 minutes). As you practice, you should reduce the point, and then try without it altogether.

This exercise should be done in a room with many portraits or photographs of people on the walls. At the same time, look at the bridge of the person’s nose in the portrait for one minute, then abruptly move to another portrait and fix your gaze on the bridge of the person’s nose in the other portrait. And so repeat the exercise with portraits of other people, while you need to move your gaze sharply, with lightning speed.

This exercise should first be done with someone you know. Sit opposite him and look at him with your central gaze until he asks you to stop.

Practice practicing the magnetic power of your gaze, but do not forget that at the same time your face and facial expressions should retain your natural expression, and your gaze should reflect strength, confidence, power, and authority.

The ability to stop with your gaze is the highest skill, which not everyone can master. With the power of a glance you can stop a passerby, thieves, or an evil dog. Grigory Rasputin, for example, made good use of this skill. Gypsies are also good at using the central gaze to manipulate people. Also, everyone knows that Japanese geishas mastered the art of a magnetic gaze. And it was believed that a true geisha was one who could stop a man with her gaze.

Yes, you need to train a lot to develop a magnetic look. But the result is worth it, isn't it?

Coronavirus and mechanical ventilation: how the most severe patients are treated

Today it is known that COVID-19 occurs in different people according to different scenarios. Some may not even notice that they have become infected, while others may experience the disease in a mild to moderate form. Fortunately, the majority of such cases are more than 80%. But there are also serious patients who require special attention from doctors, those who need oxygen support. In what cases are patients with respiratory failure transferred to mechanical ventilation and how are they then weaned from the device, Olga Svetlitskaya, associate professor of the department of anesthesiology and resuscitation of BelMAPO, told a BELTA correspondent in an interview.

— On what day does coronavirus pneumonia usually develop, requiring serious medical care? I often hear that lung damage begins even before the first symptoms of the disease.

— Pneumonia of various etiologies, including Covid, can develop at any time within three weeks from the moment of infection. But in cases where we are talking about its severe course, most often it is the fifth to eighth day. The most serious complication of pneumonia associated with COVID-19, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), develops within seven days of the onset of the disease. The time interval of a week from the moment of exposure to the factor to the development of the clinical picture is one of the clear diagnostic markers of ARDS.

The severity and prevalence of the inflammatory process in the lungs directly depend on the so-called viral load, that is, the number of viral particles that have entered the human body. The state of the immune system, genetic characteristics, and the presence of concomitant diseases also play a role. Accordingly, the more viral particles, the weaker the immune system, the faster the process develops and the more difficult it is. Chronic diseases or some genetic characteristics, congenital pathologies can also lead to a more severe course of COVID-19.

Indeed, lung damage begins even before the first symptoms of the disease appear, but this is quite natural. There will be no clinical symptoms if there is no lesion. I would formulate this idea differently: the main feature of COVID-19 is that the patient’s clinical picture often does not correspond to the degree of lung damage. This phenomenon is manifested, for example, by unexpected findings of bilateral pneumonia during random X-rays or computed tomography of the lungs. That is, the person feels well, there are no serious complaints, but he went to a health care facility with some other disease, they performed a CT scan or x-ray and found pneumonia. There were no characteristic signs of inflammation (cough, fever, shortness of breath). This feature of coronavirus infection puts it in a unique position when it is necessary to take a set of steps for timely detection.

— In a situation where it is accidentally detected pneumonia, does it proceed mildly or can it become severe?

“It happens when a person’s lungs are affected, but until a certain moment he does not feel it and does not complain about anything. This category of patients causes concern because deterioration may occur at any time. Therefore, all emergency medical teams and hospital emergency rooms are equipped with pulse oximeters to measure the oxygen content in the blood - today this is one of the main ways to diagnose lung damage due to covid infection. If the saturation is 95-100%, then the blood is sufficiently saturated with oxygen. An indicator of 94% and below indicates that oxygen from the alveoli does not pass into the blood and lung function is impaired. A person has a CT scan or x-ray to evaluate the condition of their lungs.

By the way, many smartphones, fitness trackers, and smart watches have a pulse oximeter function. For example, some smartphone models have a heart rate sensor on the back panel next to the camera. You need to put your finger on it and use the installed application to measure the saturation level and heart rate.

In fact, the capabilities of gadgets are limited, however, they allow you to get your bearings. We compared the results on one of the smartphones with those shown by the resuscitation equipment - the difference is plus or minus 1-2%. We came to the conclusion that we should not completely rely on the readings of gadgets, because measuring saturation is critically important for life, but their capabilities can be used. If blood oxygen saturation has decreased significantly, in addition to fever and cough, there is every reason to consult a doctor.

— In what cases is a decision made to connect a patient with COVID-19 to a ventilator? Are we talking about borderline states?

— It all depends on how low the saturation is. If the indicator drops below 95%, at least a turn on the stomach, in the so-called prone position, and oxygen therapy are required. Less than 85% - we immediately take them from the emergency room to the intensive care unit, the person most often ends up on a ventilator. The decision is made by an anesthesiologist-resuscitator. Thanks to the transfer to hardware support, many patients manage to survive a life-threatening condition. If you notice negative changes in the lungs in advance, you can get by with oxygen therapy and lying on your stomach.

— Recent American studies show a high mortality rate among patients with COVID-19 who were treated with artificial ventilation. In your opinion, is mechanical ventilation the last chance for salvation?

— In principle, it is incorrect to compare mortality among those patients who were on a mechanical ventilation device and those who did without mechanical ventilation. These are two completely different groups. People who, for some reason, cannot breathe on their own need mechanical breathing; their gas exchange in the lungs is critically impaired: oxygen cannot pass from the pulmonary alveoli into the blood, and carbon dioxide, on the contrary, from the blood into the alveoli. This is a life-threatening situation, so transfer to mechanical ventilation is really, to some extent, the last chance for salvation.

You need to understand that patients with pneumonia on mechanical ventilation are a priori severe patients. The development of acute respiratory distress syndrome as the most dangerous complication of COVID-19 significantly aggravates the course of the disease and increases the risk of an unfavorable outcome. However, ARDS is not actually a specific syndrome for COVID-associated pneumonia. It can be caused by a number of surgical and therapeutic pathologies, including pneumonia of other origins. By itself, transferring to mechanical ventilation does not cure either ARDS or pneumonia, but it allows a critically ill patient to simulate the breathing process, and at this time treat the underlying pathology, thereby giving time to organs and systems to recover from a state of shock.

As for SARS-COV-2, which causes COVID-19, there are currently no drugs with a good evidence base against this virus. We rely on the response of the person's own immune system. Hardware support (essentially artificial life support) gives the body time to cope with the viral load.

— Are there methods to delay the transfer of patients with coronavirus to artificial ventilation?

— Ventilation is an extreme degree of respiratory support. Fortunately, among patients with COVID-associated pneumonia, there is not a very large percentage of those requiring mechanical ventilation. Timely delivery of a humidified air mixture with increased oxygen content through nasal catheters or using a face mask allows a very large number of patients to cope with this condition and recover simply on oxygen therapy.

Another method that we actively use in intensive care units is the prone position, when patients are placed on their stomachs. The ventilation-perfusion relationships in the lungs change, as a result, those parts of them that were poorly supplied with oxygen in the supine position are better ventilated. This improves the transfer of oxygen from the alveoli to the blood, that is, oxygenation. These two simple methods can treat a fairly large percentage of people with severe pneumonia.

Only those patients in whom oxygen therapy using nasal catheters or a face mask and turning onto their stomach were ineffective are transferred to mechanical ventilation. If these measures do not allow us to improve oxygenation, we decide to switch to machine respiration, which allows us to simulate the respiratory function and increase the percentage of oxygen in the supplied mixture.

By the way, with the help of nasal catheters we can increase the oxygen content in the inhaled air up to 40%, with the help of a face mask a little more - up to 50-60%. The ventilator allows you to set any oxygen content. If a person has very severe lung damage, it could be 70%, 80%, or even more. A person will receive as much oxygen as he needs.

“Perhaps only a highly qualified specialist clearly knows when a person needs to be transferred to mechanical ventilation. After all, delay, like haste, can not work in a person’s favor.

— Indeed, these should be highly qualified anesthesiologists and resuscitators with experience. In fact, there are a number of even more subtle and informative indicators, besides saturation. For example, in intensive care units we take arterial blood for laboratory tests, its acid-base state and gas composition are analyzed. If the partial oxygen tension is less than a certain level, this is an absolute basis for transferring to artificial ventilation.

Arterial blood gas analysis is a practical routine skill of an anesthesiologist-resuscitator. Otherwise, the specialist would not be able to confirm his qualifications upon completion of the internship.

— Is training of doctors carried out in the regions? New knowledge on the management of coronavirus patients is emerging every day, and it is important to convey this experience to colleagues.

— Each region is assigned consultants who provide methodological and practical assistance and, if necessary, can go to a specific hospital. For example, I am assigned to the Gomel region. In addition, we record video lectures for doctors. There is a lot of work, but it is coordinated, the doctors know what to do.

Regarding transfer to mechanical ventilation, after 2009, when there was an outbreak of pneumonia caused by swine flu, our service gained unique experience. Over the years we have come very far. Belarus has accumulated knowledge and techniques for caring for patients with severe respiratory distress syndrome, so we were well prepared for this pandemic. We have enough artificial lung ventilation devices and qualified personnel.

Another thing is that we are faced with some features of respiratory distress syndrome in COVID-associated pneumonia. In 70-80% of patients, we do not see the same pattern of lung damage that was seen with influenza ARDS. Impaired oxygenation is largely associated not with lung damage itself, but with impaired perfusion—blood flow through the pulmonary vessels, which is why patients with COVID-19 are prone to thrombosis.

According to our foreign colleagues, and we see this too, the frequency of thrombosis in patients with COVID-19 who were in intensive care units is about 30%. That is, every third patient with severe COVID-19 has some kind of thrombotic complications. These may be deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, acute coronary syndrome, heart attacks or ischemic strokes. Another feature of coronavirus infection is that with COVID-19 there is multiple organ damage. That is, not only the lungs suffer, but also the heart, kidneys, and nervous system. In this case, mechanical ventilation will not help; the rheological properties of the blood need to be improved.

We approached the treatment of such patients from a different angle - we strictly control blood coagulation parameters and the severity of inflammation. Today, all patients with covid pneumonia are required to receive blood thinning medications. In general, this has a good effect on the course of the disease; in such patients there are fewer cases of deterioration of the condition.

— How many patients can be disconnected from mechanical ventilation and transferred to a ward?

— Contrary to popular belief among ordinary people, mechanical ventilation is not a death sentence; quite a lot of patients can be disconnected from the device. However, you need to understand that the weaning process can take up to two-thirds of the total time spent on mechanical ventilation. Removing a patient from a ventilator is not easy, it is an art.

A person who is put on mechanical breathing in a critical condition develops muscle atrophy within a few days. This is especially true for older people, who are already characterized by age-related natural loss of mass and muscle strength. If a patient has been on a ventilator for a week, it becomes very difficult to get his muscles working again. The process of weaning the elderly from artificial ventilation takes days and weeks. A rehabilitator always comes, we do gymnastics, etc.

— I read that a person on a ventilator can control his condition, and in those cases when he feels that he can breathe on his own, ask him to be disconnected from the device for a while. Is it possible?

— This way they are disconnected from the device after short-term ventilation, for example, after operations, but this is unlikely in relation to respiratory distress syndrome. Absolutely all patients with pneumonia, when transferred to artificial ventilation, are in medicated sleep (this is not a coma, but deep sleep). The fact is that tracheal intubation is a painful and unpleasant procedure. For severe pneumonia, deep medicated sleep lasts at least 48 hours so that the body can adapt. A person needs complete rest, this allows his organs and tissues to begin to recover.

Doctors monitor the patient's condition. We had no precedent for a person to wake up, snap his finger, and say that he would breathe on his own, as in the film. The doctor’s task is to teach him to breathe again. This is a well-coordinated team effort - mine as a resuscitator, a rehabilitation specialist, and a nurse.

— How is a patient weaned from mechanical ventilation? Are there any breathing training techniques?

“We now have very good respiratory equipment; the devices can either completely breathe for the patient or support his own breathing. A person can be disconnected from mechanical ventilation after the signs of the disease that caused the need for hardware support begin to subside. For example, if a patient with severe pneumonia has a decrease in temperature and blood tests have improved, we have reason to say that he is on the mend. We reduce the dose of medications that caused medicinal sleep and begin to wake him up - very carefully so that the person does not get scared.

As the person wakes up, the device records attempts to breathe. A ventilation mode is established that supports a person’s independent breathing, gradually teaching him to breathe again. The patient will remain on a ventilator for several more days. All this time we will talk to him, wait for the moment when he can breathe on his own. Before the pandemic, relatives were allowed to come. This had a very beneficial effect: seeing a familiar face, the person was encouraged, and he had a desire to get better quickly. Now, of course, it’s more difficult for patients. Waking up in intensive care is already stressful for anyone. Now, when a person comes to his senses, he sees medical personnel around him in protective suits, respirators, and shields.

The process of weaning from the device is gradual. As I noted, it can take from several days to several weeks, depending on the age of the patient and the severity of the disease. First, we train breathing using the apparatus, gradually changing the parameters. Relatively speaking, a healthy person takes 16 breaths per minute. We set a special ventilation mode so that the device breathes for the patient 12 times, and he takes the remaining four breaths himself. Then we begin to reduce hardware support and eventually set the spontaneous breathing mode. And only when a person gains strength, the question is raised about completely removing him from mechanical ventilation.

— Do patients with COVID-19 need long-term rehabilitation after this?

— All patients who go through critical conditions in intensive care, including after pneumonia, need long-term rehabilitation. And the lungs need to be restored and recovered from stress. Every year we have patients with severe pneumonia and distress syndromes; their rehabilitation system is well established.

— Could extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) become an alternative to mechanical ventilation in the treatment of coronavirus patients?

— ECMO is widely used, in particular in cardiac surgery. As for severe forms of ARDS, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is indicated for patients with severe forms, when oxygen does not pass from the alveoli into the blood, that is, when maintaining gas exchange with mechanical ventilation is ineffective. However, this procedure is not simple, very expensive and requires specially trained personnel. In no country in the world, ECMO is not a panacea and cannot serve as a full-fledged alternative to mechanical ventilation, because the severity of the condition is associated not only with respiratory disorders, but also with thrombosis, thromboembolism and disseminated intravascular coagulation.

The method can be used specifically in individual cases under a number of conditions. For COVID-19, ECMO is currently used infrequently. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, more than 800 such procedures have been performed on confirmed patients worldwide, including over 200 in Europe. Considering the number of cases, this is a very small percentage.

— According to experts, most of the globe will be infected with coronavirus. Fortunately, 80-85% will experience the disease asymptomatically or mildly. What recommendations can be given to the population to prevent a severe course of the disease and, accordingly, not to end up on mechanical ventilation?

— The severity and prevalence of pneumonia and outcome depend on the viral load, immunity and the presence of chronic diseases. The first task is not to fall into a category with potentially severe pneumonia. Each person should analyze whether he or his family members have risk factors (age, presence of chronic diseases). More often, patients with diabetes mellitus, pathology of the kidneys, cardiovascular system, immunodeficiencies, older people, and people with obesity are seriously ill.

It will be difficult to avoid the virus. Now many experts actually predict that about 70% of the world's population will get sick. This virus tends to fit into the usual seasonal incidence, so if we don’t see it today or tomorrow, we’ll see it in a year. In any case, we need to try to reduce the viral load using the recommendations given by our healthcare system. These are very simple rules that you can follow and still work and live an active life.

For example, it is advisable for risk groups to wear masks in public places. For healthy people who are not at risk, this is not necessary. At the same time, I urge you to be responsible: if you feel unwell, show respect for society and also wear a mask so as not to infect those around you.

If you are not indifferent and care about the environment, use reusable masks in your everyday life. Now there are plenty of them in stores, for every taste and color, and they are inexpensive. It’s unpleasant to see heaps of discarded masks lying on the ground near medical institutions, shops, and in courtyards. And there are already tons of masks floating in the ocean.

Follow social distancing measures. For example, in stores there are special markings in front of the cash registers. I'm happy when I'm at the mall and hear someone pointing out the importance of social distancing. This is a small measure, but it reduces the likelihood of the virus entering the body. Of course, we must not forget about thorough hand washing. Ventilate the premises more often - this “washes” viruses from the air.

If a person has chronic illnesses, it's time to start following your doctor's recommendations, if you haven't already. If you have cardiovascular diseases, you should strictly adhere to the prescriptions of cardiologists, including taking medications; if you have diabetes, follow the instructions of endocrinologists.

In addition, it is important to get enough sleep and eat right. Even if you encounter a virus, you will have the strength to endure the infection as easily as possible. Belarusians, especially people under 40, are prone to self-medication and often suffer from diseases on their legs. Today is not the situation to self-medicate with fever, cough and other symptoms. Late seeking medical care is the first step towards a severe infection. The longer a person endures hypoxia, a lack of oxygen in the blood, without knowing it, the more severe the disease will be and the more severe the damage to all organs. In this regard, the most important conclusion is to start taking care of yourself.

How to determine your ability to hypnosis

Many are convinced that the ability to put a person into a trance depends on the individual characteristics of neurophysiology. That is, that there are special individuals who have the gift of magnetism or the ability to suppress the will and establish order, making puppets of the weak. It is a myth. It will be very difficult for a person with such attitudes to influence others, since an arrogant attitude does not contribute to establishing trust.

The brain's mirror neurons are responsible for empathy and the ability to accept another person's point of view. People whose functioning of these neurons is disrupted are not able to empathize and try to understand others. They see others only as puppets, and not equal people with their own needs and goals.

Therefore, instead of trying to understand the person, they begin to “push,” causing a reaction of rejection. They are looking for methods of hypnotic suppression of someone else's will, alpha hypnosis and other aggressive levers of influence on others. Such people are physiologically incapable of other actions. They love to manipulate, choosing as their victims people with impaired psychological defenses.

For those who know how to defend themselves and avoid contact out of a sense of personal hostility, the manipulator thinks that they are afraid of him. This gives such people the feeling that they have the gift of influencing others.

How to test your ability to hypnosis? There are a lot of different tests to test hypnotic abilities. It follows from them that a person who wants to learn how to influence people must have the following character traits:

be able to persuade;
have a well-spoken speech;
be successful and self-confident;
often win in disputes;
serve as an authority for many, inspire respect;
have success with the opposite sex;
be insightful, have developed intuition.

But if the test result is disappointing, then it is worth knowing that hypnosis and self-hypnosis are used to develop these same abilities. That is, a specialist can suggest that you are improving every day and activate hidden resources.

What is hypnosis

Today, hypnosis is officially recognized by the medical community, but there was a time when this treatment technique was considered quackery. Most people are afraid of hypnotherapy because they do not fully understand what hypnosis is and how it affects the mind.

We experience the world and navigate it with the help of our senses. When the patient is put into a trance, they stop working and the subconscious is influenced. He cannot analyze the information incoming at the moment, therefore, while in a hypnotic sleep, a person easily perceives and follows all the orders of the hypnotist. The received attitudes are stored in the subconscious and act even after awakening.

Modern medicine has redefined hypnosis. This is a state of trance, very close to sleep, but differs from it in that at this time the subconscious continues to carry out enormous internal work.

Why is hypnosis needed?

Using various techniques, a psychotherapist can achieve in the patient:

healing ailments;
blocking pain;
restoration of various body functions;
unleashing creative potential;
solutions to psychological problems.

The deeper the trance the patient is in, the stronger the influence of the hypnotist on the individual’s consciousness.

Types of hypnosis

Experts distinguish several types of hypnosis.

Academic (classical). Helps the patient cope with psychological problems, recover from alcohol, tobacco and drug addictions. Classical hypnosis helps a person look into his subconscious and find there the answer to an exciting question, remember an event, find the reason and secret motive for certain actions. Submitting to the will of the hypnotist, the patient carries out all his verbal orders. Not all people are susceptible to this type of hypnosis, but only 20–25% of patients.
Ericksonian (hidden hypnosis). During the session, suppressed emotions, experiences and memories are addressed. This type focuses on the individual characteristics of the individual and his problems. Very often, elements of Ericksonian hypnosis are used to massively influence people’s subconscious (in the media, political science, marketing).
Regressive. Refers to a person's past. During a session of such hypnosis, the psychotherapist works with forgotten or hidden in deep childhood memories of family conflicts and violence, paying special attention to complexes and destructive attitudes.
Criminal. This type of hypnosis is used by scammers for profit. Falling into a state of trance, attackers deceive citizens, subordinating them to their will. There is even a separate concept of “gypsy hypnosis.” This method of influence is used by gypsies in crowded places to cash in on their trust.

Functions of the hypnotic gaze

How to hypnotize with your gaze? The hypnosis technique involves an influence that allows you to turn off the victim’s consciousness: the person understands what is happening, but cannot logically comprehend every statement he hears. To hypnotize, you need to understand what motivates a person, what his capabilities and defensive reactions are. Each hypnotist is responsible for putting another person into trance (a state bordering between sleep and wakefulness).

Weak people can be immersed in a trance using a minimal set of tools - monotonous speech, tactile contact, a pendulum or a coin that moves along one trajectory

They help to concentrate attention on one process. For people with strong psychic defenses, additional conditions will need to be created: their resistance interferes with conducting a hypnosis session

The gaze is the main tool of hypnosis. It helps to carry out suggestion quickly. In such cases, it is not advisable to use additional tools. You should not use deep hypnosis for small manipulations or small changes in the consciousness of the hypnotized person.

Features of application

How does a hypnotist use his gaze? He fixes it on a specific point on which all the person’s attention is focused. The victim can take his eyes off the hypnotist, but does not want to

A hypnotic gaze helps in the following cases:

when you need to conduct an urgent hypnosis session (in an inappropriate or crowded place);
when the suggestion is superficial, and there is no need to subject the person to unnecessary mental stress;
when you need to conduct covert hypnosis.

Doctors who help patients get rid of bad habits, overcome a phobia or cure a mental disorder take a special look. Hypnosis is suitable for quickly correcting a person’s behavior, then the color of the eyes or their shape is a trigger (a detail around which a strong suggestion is built).

Anyone can master the gaze for hypnosis, but this technique of immersion in semi-trance requires long-term study

It is easier for people with charisma and attractiveness to gain skills - their appearance automatically attracts attention

Education

Eye hypnosis is an additional technique. To begin with, the basics of technology are mastered, and only after training are additional skills developed. Exercises done at home help you understand and try the procedure. The more practice you have, the easier it is to use eye hypnosis in real life.

The hypnotic gaze is beneficial for people, and putting the individual into a trance is not necessary. This skill helps to manipulate others and get everything you need from them. It forms the basis of NLP (neurolinguistic programming) and is used to achieve set goals.

Alternative methods

There are three more ways to help put a person into a state of hypnotic sleep: a hypnotic staircase, close tactile contact, a shiny object.

Hypnotic staircase

This technique helps you fall into a state of deep sleep. Invite your interlocutor to mentally see himself standing at the top of a huge staircase. As he gradually descends the steps, he should feel a calmness sweep over him, and each step brings more and more relaxation, allowing him to clear his mind and plunge into a trance. Then start counting the number of steps: “Not far in front of you you see a door that will take you to a world of tranquility. As you take the first step, feel how close you are to opening your subconscious. The second step pacifies you even more. Having stepped on the third step, you dissolve in space and the warmth that envelops you.” The count must be kept until the person falls into hypnotic sleep.

Close tactile contact

To do this, you need to sit the person comfortably in a chair so that your faces are at the same level. With one hand, grab his right hand by the wrist where the pulse is felt. Place the other on your left shoulder. Hold his gaze. Ask the person to relax and follow your instructions carefully. He should then direct his gaze to the bridge of your nose. Say these words: “The feeling of fatigue covers your whole body! Your eyes become heavy and close, and your body gradually relaxes! Don't resist the urge to sleep! Now you will fall asleep! Your sleep will be sound and healthy!” At the end of the session, run your hand over his face and confidently say: “Sleep!” If you were determined to succeed, then the person will definitely fall into a trance.

Shiny item

A metronome, balls, pen, and mirror are suitable for hypnosis. To put a person into a hypnotic trance, you need to bring the selected object to the bridge of his nose. Without noticing it, he will concentrate his attention on one point and fall asleep. This method is considered one of the easiest and is designed for beginners.

You can put the patient into a trance using a metronome

It is recommended to create a relaxing environment in the room during the session, turn on quiet, pleasant music, and make sure that no extraneous sounds enter the room. It is not enough to simply put a person into a trance.

Hypnosis and recovery from it

The next stage is hypnosis itself. In this state, a person loses the ability to look at things critically

. At the same time, he will remember and realize everything. If you're not yet confident in your suggestion skills, try hypnotizing a cat.

There are different techniques

you can pet an animal and it will gain trust in you and simply fall asleep;
you can use the moment of surprise and catch the animal during a jump, grab it by the scruff of the neck and turn it over in the air;
use mechanical methods of influence: the cat looks at the washing machine or at the clock, etc.

There are a sufficient number of videos on how to learn hypnosis. And you can try to hypnotize both animals and people. Remember that individual phrases and methods work

influences during hypnosis. However, never try to scare or do anything illegal.

The fact that a person is immersed in a state of hypnosis will be notified by his uniform breathing and peaceful appearance.

. Try to match the rhythm of his breathing. Don't speak too fast, but don't drawl your words either.

A relatively small stage will be the exit from hypnosis. Take the person out slowly but surely. For example, count out loud to five and ask them to open their eyes

Remember to emphasize that it was a positive experience and ask the person to talk about how they felt

The history of hypnosis

The history of hypnosis goes back at least three millennia. It is known that the ancient shamans and priests of Ancient Egypt were perfectly able to put people into a trance; it was successfully used in Ancient India and Tibet. Hypnotic sessions were conducted by healers of Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece. Then, with the help of hypnosis, they raised the morale of soldiers, looked into the future and treated diseases.

The term “hypnosis” itself appeared only in 1843 after a year earlier the English doctor J. Braid proved that transferring attention and gaze to a shiny object plunges the human body and consciousness into a special state. It was then that suggestion acquired a scientific character. In the 19th century, the opinions of scientists were divided: some recognized the possibility of suggestion, others opposed hypnosis. Nothing has changed since then.

To this day, two camps of researchers (opponents and supporters of hypnosis) are engaged in endless debate on this topic, which, undoubtedly, only fuels public interest in hypnosis.

Ways to train your eyes

The concentration of gaze varies among people: it depends on the vision and thinking of the individual. While eye hypnosis is easy for some, others cannot cope with this practice. It is used through visual contact only if the hypnotist is visual (perceives the world around him better through the eyes, rather than other senses). For such people, eyeball exercises are useful.

How to learn to concentrate:

a circle the size of a coin is drawn;
installed at eye level (hung on the wall or furniture);
the hypnotist sits in front of the sheet (the distance should be at least 50 cm);
looks intently at one point on the sheet for a minute (you cannot be distracted or close your eyes for a long time);
relaxes for a minute;
At the second stage of the exercise, the concentration point is shifted one meter to the right (you cannot turn your head);
the gaze is concentrated for a minute, after which the eyes rest again;
the concentration point is shifted one meter to the left, after which the exercise is repeated.

If you learn to concentrate on one point, your eyes will stop watering. Thanks to this durability, the hypnotist will be able to put strangers into a trance without additional attributes

Load on the eye muscles

The hypnotic professional look takes years to develop. This requires good vision and healthy eyes. A simple warm-up is used to train the muscles. Starting position: standing against the wall. The hypnotist should look at all three corners of the room. Alternately, the gaze is transferred from one to the second, and then to the third.

Focuses on points that are located at the same height. It is useful to rotate the pupils clockwise

This warm-up can be done anywhere (at work or in transport). To hypnotize only with your eyes, do not forget about rest, as constant stress on the muscles leads to decreased vision and concentration.

Selection of methodology

There are several effective techniques that tell you how to put a person into a trance using hypnosis. Visualization is a powerful tool that requires concentration. This method of entering a trance requires special conditions - a calm environment, proper breathing (breathing exercises are used).

Another way is to provide a safe place (a type of visualization). It requires concentration not only of attention, but also the ability to distance yourself from the world around you. The third effective technique is based on rotating the eyes and holding the breath. The last technique is called multi-stage.

Visualization techniques

Anyone can put themselves into a trance. Self-hypnosis will help with this. Procedure for entering a borderline state:

A person concentrates on internal sensations for several minutes, sitting with his eyes closed. It is necessary to feel every process occurring in the body. Passivity is the main condition for rapid relaxation.
The individual needs to concentrate on breathing. To quickly enter a trance, special breathing exercises are used. Breathing should be uniform and deep. As you exhale, the man or woman becomes completely focused, and as you inhale, you relax again.
The person imagines that his mind consists of several parts. The highest level is the active part (consciousness), and deep hypnotic sleep is at the lowest level.
The person being hypnotized needs to move from one level to the second. You need to relax each time and then explore the level. You need to feel what is inherent in your personality. Knowing the level is a state of trance.

Time will pass unnoticed if the entrance to the border state has been completed correctly. To get out of this state, a person concentrates on inhaling. As the lungs fill with air, the personality carefully rises through the levels. When the turn reaches consciousness, the eyes open.

Eye rotation and breathing

Another practice for use at home. A man or woman should be calm. Starting position: lying or sitting. The person's head must have support, and during a trance it is better not to move. This technique is used for self-hypnosis: a man or woman closes his eyes and relaxes all the muscles of the body. The greatest relaxation occurs when you exhale.

After preparation, the eyes open - you need to sharply look up and hold your breath. After 5-7 seconds. the eyes slowly lower and relax. The eyelids close. The person inhales, then exhales and stays in this position for 5 seconds. As you inhale, your eyelids lift again. The gaze is directed to the ceiling and the breath is held again for 5-6 seconds.

The eyes close - the person concentrates all his attention on breathing. The body slowly relaxes. It is necessary to listen to the body, feel every movement, tingling, trembling. With relaxation comes freedom from unnecessary thoughts: trance eliminates empty, distracting thoughts.

Relaxation lasts for at least 15–20 minutes, after which, to get out of this state, you need to concentrate on exhaling. Gradually the person returns to a conscious state.

Multi-stage technique

The 4-step technique is more complex. It is used to independently enter a borderline state. Stages of going into trance:

The person takes a comfortable position (lying down), it is better to lie on the floor or any hard surface. In this position, you need to monitor your breathing. It should be smooth, slow. While inhaling, the following sounds are pronounced: “So-o-o-o,” and when exhaling, “Hum-mm.” The sounds are repeated until breathing becomes natural and does not have to be monitored. At this stage, unnecessary thoughts and worries should disappear.
The person needs to completely get rid of movements in the second stage. With the effort of the mind, you need to stop each one so that the body plunges into absolute peace. Relaxation begins with the facial muscles and gradually reaches the fingertips. When the muscles and muscles relax, say the words to yourself: “My body is relaxing, my eyelids are getting heavier.” Thoughts of relaxation should be repeated until the body becomes sluggish, almost immobile. The entire relaxation cycle is repeated at least 4 times.
As a person, after the body is completely relaxed and the mind stops generating new distracting thoughts, you need to say the words of the mantra: “Om.” It is repeated 14 times. When the syllable interrupts all thoughts, the person moves on to the final stage of trance.
The mantra is repeated at the last stage. New images should appear in your head - the rays of the sun or the solar circle. This visualization is not easy for everyone the first time, but over time the image will become clearer and clearer.

In a state of absolute trance, you can imagine any image, desire, thing - all this will take root in the subconscious. One way or another, a person will be able to get what he wants soon. To break out of trance, you need to focus on your own breathing.
