To whet your appetites, we thought we would give you a glimpse of the Introduction to the next book in the Inductions Masterclass series. IntroductionAs Bob Dylan proclaimed in 1964, the times they are a changin' - and almost sixty years later, that continues to be the case. It seems that the old cliche is true: there is nothing as constant as change itself.Of course, hypnosis itself has also changed over the years. Few hypnotists today practice their art in precisely the way that Franz Anton Mesmer did. If we go even further back, into the history of 'trance' experiences as a human phenomenon, not many of us employ Sleep Temples as a hypnotic or therapeutic aid! Even in more recent history, partly thanks to the influence of Milton H. Erickson, it is fair to say that a good proportion of hypnotists do not practice the sort of hypnosis that might have been familiar in the days that Dylan penned his legendary words.Nevertheless, it seems that many hypnotists have not kept up-to-date with our ever-changing context. Whilst human interactions, commerce and the services people seek, increasingly take place in the digital world, hypnosis is still generally thought of as something that takes place between two individuals, face-to-face.The need for change was seen most starkly when a global pandemic was announced at the beginning of 2020. This forced many businesses to adapt how they operate – moving much of their operation online – or face extinction. Heartbreakingly, many felt unable to change with the times, at least with the speed that was required, consequently falling by the wayside.For better or worse, we are now left with a set of circumstances where people are used to conducting practically every aspect of their lives online, be that work, education, shopping, entertainment or even therapy. It seems clear that a good proportion of the population have no intention to return to life as they knew it.Faced with the global pandemic, particularly the speed with which it spread and the requisite rapid response, many hypnotists failed to adapt, or hunkered down in the hope that things would soon return to normal. Now might be the time to suggest that such a return may never happen. Yet, even if it did, hypnotists who simply re-open their doors and revert back solely to face-to-face interactions are missing a great opportunity – both for their business and for the good of those who would benefit from their services.The times have changed and will continue to do so. Is it not now time for hypnotists – and hypnosis itself – to do the same?This book will aim to share everything you need to know to practice hypnosis online. We will deal with some of the technical aspects of such a venture, including software and hardware requirements. We will even dip briefly into the business side of working online, including, scheduling, invoicing and payment.Yet the focus of the book – as you would expect from its inclusion in the Inductions Masterclass series – is on how to initiate hypnosis in a virtual environment.Only one of the inductions seen in this book has been discussed elsewhere in the current series and that is the Sensory Overlap. However, the transcript of it seen here is different to that provided in Hypnosis with the Hard to Hypnotise.All but one of the inductions have been seen previously in How to do Hypnosis. Though, to be fair, that book included almost any thought I had ever had on the subject of hypnosis, so that should come as no surprise.The Early Learning Set is not something I have written about in print before. However, it is such a versatile tool – and a wonderfully useful process – that I suspect I may devote a book to it at some point, unless someone else beats me to it!Terminology UsedI have offered this disclaimer at some point within each book in the Inductions Masterclass series. Nevertheless, it will do no harm to mention it again.Throughout this book, you will find me referring to 'trance' and at times using terminology such as 'subconscious,' deepening, being 'under' hypnosis and so on. Please bear in mind that these are phenomenological descriptions, merely meant to convey what the hypnotee (i.e. the person being hypnotised) may be experiencing.The inclusion of such terms is at no point endorsing any particular interpretation of hypnosis, or taking sides in the perennial debates over the nature of trance or the existence of a special hypnotic state.[efn_note] For more on our experiential model of hypnosis, which fits comfortably with all the major schools of Hypnosis, see my books, Therapeutic Inductions, or How to do Hypnosis.[/efn_note]Online InductionsSo, let's get straight to the point. Do we even need a book about online hypnosis? And what is the reason for its inclusion in the Inductions Masterclass series?The answer you provide to the first question might depend on how you currently conduct face-to-face sessions. If you sit some distance from your clients, never touch them and effectively just read a script at them, then there may be no difference in how you do hypnosis online (aside from technological issues). However, if you tend to be more interactive, pay attention to things like minimal physical changes, employ touch in any way or rely on phenomena that requires you to be able to see all of your client clearly, then this may seem like a whole new world to you.I trust that if you are in the latter group, you will be reassured to discover that in reality you only need to modify a few key elements to continue practicing closely to the way that you have been.As for the second question – why is a book about online hypnosis included in the Inductions Masterclass series? – the answer is very simple. The question I am most asked, by those who may be thinking about shifting to online work, is not how to conduct a session online, or whether online therapy can be effective (though that is a close second). The question that comes up time and time again is how to hypnotise people online.Bear in mind that this question is being asked by hypnotists who sometimes have a good number of years experience. That is, they most definitely know how to hypnotise someone. Yet, something about the barrier of a computer screen and the physical distance leaves them feeling de-skilled and lacking in confidence.They would know perfectly well what to do once they had a client 'in' hypnosis. Yet, the idea of actually being able to get someone to that point whilst working online feels beyond them. That may be because they work in the second way described above – and are unclear how to translate that to online work – or it could be because they do not feel completely comfortable with the tech involved.Whatever the reason may be, the predominant question I am asked – as someone who was initially hesitant to move online – is around how to induce hypnosis in online clients. Thus, the decision was made to pause the other books I was working on and to include this timely book in the current series.What's the Difference?There are a number of factors, some of which we have alluded to already, that differentiate online work from in-person hypnosis.The Technology BarrierI'm not here referring to the fact that reliance on technology may be a hindrance to some who are not generally tech-savvy. Instead, I am thinking of the perceived distance that working online can generate.When you are working face-to-face with someone, it may seem easier to project positive regard, warmth, expectation – or any number of other emotional states – than when there is a computer screen between you. However, with experience, you will learn to convey such an atmosphere in alternative ways.A useful exercise is to spend some time before your session actively focusing on the unconditional positive regard you have for your client. Note where you feel this in your body and practice increasing it, moving it, playing around with the submodalities of the feeling and so on. Then, send this positive feeling throughout your body and visualise or imagine your entire body glowing with the feeling, full to the brim.Then, when you are speaking with your client,
