What is your favorite induction in a recording/call and who performed it?

My favorite induction in a recording was one done by Isabella Valentine. It was posted as a free video--I can't remember the name of it as it was years ago--but she was telling a story about Erickson and how he developed his techniques. I thought it was just a cool video blog post and then BAM I was under. LOL, the whole thing was an induction and I didn't know it. It was beautiful.

Possibly Proklet you could intice Isabella Valentine to recall this video and post it on this site for a short period of time as an instrutional video

I searched for it icetiger. :)  It's kind of hard to find since I couldn't find any direct way of getting there but it's still on Isabella's site along with a lot of other freebie recordings I had forgotten about. It's very generous of her to leave them up there.

The one I was referring to is "Free Hypnosis Video: Right to Sleep Video", found on the bottom third of this page: http://www.isabellavalentine.com/category/free-recordings-videos/     It's a full video hypnosis session! It worked for me anyway. :)

Right after I listened to that back in 2007 I looked up Erickson and started researching NLP and all that. Fascinating stuff. I love it when hypnotists teach as well as practice. Everyone gets to move up a level.

Thank you and I have been able to go find the file. I agree it is wonderful when the openess and education is offered not covered in the secrecy of a close nit society again thank you for sharing and thank you Isabella Valentine for the video.

I've always appreciated how Isabella tries different things and pushes the envelope in what she does. I too enjoy it when people share and educate each other. That way everyone gets better and more enjoyment out of what they do.

I love to vary my trances, different each time so that is why I have never used scripts like others do.

Varying inductions is a good habit in my estimation. Once people know exactly what is going to happen they tend to lose interest--at least i do. I guess i can't speak for what works for others. In general i can't listen to recordings over and over again, or the same type of induction so many times in a row because i get impatient knowing what is coming next. Keeping it fresh and unexpected makes me happy. :)

Progressive relaxation is one that I can't do too often. It works, but it's so predictable I get bored moving from one body part to the next. Confusion inductions are nice because... they're confusing... lol. Never know where it's going. Regardless, variety is the spice of life.

unscripted trances are definitely the best, imo.

Oh man, the Nikki/Shiri inductions from a few years back were bad ass.
Three way tie between submission to hypnosis 1&2 and Pretend.

Ms Flower's text trances are very hypnotic and are my favorite.
