FOREWARD BY ADAM EASON

I first encountered Jonathan Chase when I was at a very embryonic stage of my own hypnotherapy career. He was often outspoken, very often he was hilarious and witty, and pretty much all of the time he had lots of information to give that set my curiosity alight. Jon loves the hypnotic arts and this is very evident in his writing and when speaking to him.

Many people shy away from stage hypnosis and some even curl their noses, yet those of us in the know are acutely aware of what it takes to be an outstanding stage hypnotist. As well as being one of the leading figures in this field, Jon then went and wrote one of the best books on that subject ( Deeper and Deeper) that I have encountered And I have encountered many.

I was honoured and delighted when Jon asked me to read this latest book and write a foreword. As with many aspects of modern hypnosis, Jon and I have our difference in opinion, perceptions and understanding. You know what though? Jon writes in a style that I find extremely agreeable. Even if I initially disagree with the subject matter, he gets me seeing things differently and is constantly pushing the boundaries of my own understanding and does it so gently and subtly that I hardly realise it is happening, now that is hypnosis.

Despite this book educating and challenging anyone interested in learning more about hypnosis and its therapeutic applications, Jon

retains a simple way of writing, even with the most complex of subjects and it makes this book a joy to read.

I particularly enjoy and advocate the fact that this book encourages you to abandon what Jon calls scriptnosis. So many budding hypnotists rattle off scripts and many of the best selling hypnosis books are filled with scripts for you to read to people and bore them to sleep. This book shows you how to be a hypnotist that needs no script. These are the skilled people with the world at their feet.

From one hypnotist to another: Having got hold of a copy of this book, you are going to learn about hypnosis today. You are going to learn what it is all about and you are going to have fun doing so. Read. Enjoy. Read again.

With my very best wishes,

Adam

Hello there

Im sitting at my computer starting this, my second book about hypnosis and what we will be using as the manual for our Personal Development hypnosis training. The first book, Deeper and Deeper the secrets of stage hypnosis, is as I write this out selling all the others on hypnosis on amazon.co.uk and has been sold on every continent in the world except Antarctica. Which is not bad considering my English teacher emigrated to New Zealand citing me as the reason for her becoming a Hobbit.

But Mrs Oliver was right; Im not a writer so my apologies in advance for writing the way I speak and for repeating myself on occasion. But then maybe I shouldnt apologise; this is as much a book for your creative subconscious or better still your mind, as it is a book for your logical conscious or brain so plain speaking and imagination exciting will be the order of the day.

I wont use the useless scientific language which has surrounded hypnosis to the point of strangulation, mainly because I dont understand half of it and Ive been in the game for a long time and it hasnt seemed to matter. Also because most of this hypnotic language means virtually nothing and is just the lingo of the in crowd. So I hope you will find this very clear, very simple and really accessible

By all means read this book with your Bull Shit radar turned up to maximum and if you get a blip let me know as I have really tried hard not to include any.

Before we begin there is something that I would like to make absolutely clear. It would be impossible in a book this size to tell you everything that there is to know about Hypnosis. So I have included only the stuff that you actually need to know. The rest is window dressing you can add later. And I apologise in advance for the odd ramble, this isnt a technical only manual, you cant have that for an art. That, in my opinion is what hypnosis is, my beautiful art.

Hopefully whether youre a novice or an expert, youll find something in here that will teach, inform, or maybe something that just excites some thinking. Either way let me know.

Good times and thank you for buying this book.

Smiles

ORIGINAL HYPNOSIS

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. Albert Einstein.

When I first started to question the complexity of over a hundred years of apparent development of hypnosis, I was accused of arrogance by the majority of leading therapists. How dare I question the work of the great minds that have preceded me and the massive tomes of learned and illustrious work in the fields of psychotherapy and analysis.
