Hypnotic process
Braid's (1841) "upwards and inwards squint" standard induction method, as demonstrated by James Coates (1843-1933) in 1904.[1]
Hypnotic induction is the process undertaken by a hypnotist to establish the state or conditions required for hypnosis to occur.
Self-hypnosis is also possible, in which a subject listens to a recorded induction or plays the roles of both hypnotist and subject.[2]
