Inductions: How fast is fast?

Inductions: How fast is fast?
Richard Nongard and I have produced the now internationally selling / in use DVD Hypnosis training set, "Speed-Trance." I think we are up to 6 continents now.
A question someone asked me in terms of inductions recently was: how fast is fast?
I am not discussing re-inductions here, just a cold start, walk up and out-- dropped more or less shoulders to knees, the fastest you've been timed.
Altho I wish we had Olympic style timers, my fastest timed from a cold start to a shoulders to knees was .6 seconds (6/10ths of a second) in a prep-school in MA. This is also taking into account the time it took the kid with the chronograph watch to see me work and click the start and stop buttons on the watch, watch movements and shifting, so I'm truthfully asking, how fast is fast?
And how much faster can we as a profession get?

thats fast

[Darlene]

John, what could possibly be said in 6/10ths of a second ? How do you do it , and what do you say?

[Gilson Costa]

I´ll change your question a little: is this fast, necessarily fast? Or, there are some things we CAN'T do, except when we get a induction measured by nanoseconds, on a athomic clock?

[John Cerbone - The Trance-Master]

Sleep!
LOL
(What would you have said?)
Once I saw what I needed was there.
I do think there is some validity to the concept that most peope are already somewhat Hypnotized, to a greater or lesser extent.

Do you have an Atomic Clock?
A Plutonium Stop-Watch?
ROTFL
I think given the schism going on between Hypnotists and other professions at the moment in some locales, this is our time to differentiate and shine brighter.

[Gilson Costa]

Ok.

I´ll answer your question in a way that I would like you understand, as you read these words and while thinking about the schisms INSIDE hypnosis, that everything is relative to what you CAN do, in our profession, and not how fast you do it.

Because, for me, what can BE more persuasive as a measure of how fast is fast than using the BETTER approach fo using no inductions at all, like in "waking hypnosis"?

[Darlene]

Yes LOL... - I would have said SLEEP too.
What I meant to ask was more relative to your added comment regarding people are already in a trance of some sort.
However, have you already picked certain individuals, based on some criteria, in order to induce sleep that quickly? Or maybe it's because I'm still new at this that I need to use a longer induction and still can't get over your doing it in 6 seconds. What do you look for? And what comes after the word SLEEP?

[Darlene]

Hi John, I just reviewed your video clip "Speed-Trance Induction Demos, and Speed-Trance Reinductions"... and I am impressed. I think reviewing this demo, has answered some of my question. You indicate you are coming to Toronto. Do you have a date as yet?

[Jonathan Chase]

Hi John,

Are we talking the time it takes for the hypnotee or subject to ge from non hypnosis to hypnosis or the time it takes to get them ready for that?

[Paula Saxon Nongard]

Dear Darlene,

You can see info about the upcoming Toronto 'Speed Trance & Hypnotic Power' class posted in the Hypnosis Training Bulletin Board Group here:

[John Cerbone - The Trance-Master]

I shall be in Toronto in September, the class should be FUN, info packed and of great value as well.
Most people are already in some light state of Trance, so if you know what you are doing, lightening quick, Speed-Trance, is just a nanosecond away.
Long Inductions have their place, so do mind-blowing superfast Speed-Trance Techniques! It's important to be and remain on the cutting edge of your profession.
