Dave Elman considered this level of trance he named Hypno-Sleep to be the deepest level of hypnosis possible. This is much different than somnambulism or the hypnotic coma. Hypno-Sleep consists of teaching the client to enter a very deep state of natural sleep through a hypnotic suggestion. After the client is deep asleep, you learn how to add deep hypnosis to this state.
One of the main reasons it is so effective is that it communicates directly with the un-conscious mind and is therefore free of the distractions that can sometimes be experienced when passing through he conscious mind to get to the un-conscious mind. The session can be much more effective especially where the individual believes very intensely that they cannot be hypnotized.
This is a wonderful state for the analytical client as the analytical conscious mind is asleep and non-functional in this state.
The steps necessary to ensure the correct procedure is carried out are: 1) Count the respirations 2) Ensure breathing is down to about six or seven/per minute, if client is breathing too fast wait until they are in a deeper sleep 3) Always approach very gently 4) talk to them as yourself "This is YourName speaking you can hear me but you can't wake up" 5)You may use a physical cue "I will know you can hear me when your right thumb moves"
The client is usually in such deep sleep that the above must be repeated several times before it seems to penetrate his unconscious. Continue: "I'll know you're hearing me when your thumb, which I'm going to touch, begins to rise. I'll know you're hearing me when your thumb moves. You can hear me, but you can't wake up."
When the thumb responds, continue to talk gently, compounding suggestions as you proceed.
When you have finished giving the desired suggestions, or have concluded the hypno analysis, your next step is to remove the hypnotic state, so that the client can continue an entirely natural sleep state until he wakes up by himself. Do it as follows: "When I stop talking to you, you will revert to the state you were in before I started talking to you. You will sleep deeply, and in the morning, you'll awaken completely refreshed - won't even remember I've been talking to you, but you'll feel so much better about the ____ (operation, or will not be bothered any more by this allergic reaction or whatever suggestions is appropriate). You won't worry about it a bit. You just know we wouldn't be ____ (performing the operation) if we didn't know it was going to be absolutely safe for you, and easy for you to take. And you'll get well so fast. Now go to sleep very soundly, and I'll see you in the morning ... I'll stop talking now. - 31877
