What is Active Alert Hypnosis?

Active-alert hypnosis is a standardized induction developed and tested by Dr. Éva Bányai in 1970ies in Hungary and at Standford University.

This method involves open eyes, measurable physical activity, but no mention of relaxation or sleep. During the hypnosis the clients pump a stationary bike under heavy load. We use a standard procedure for the induction, with suggestions for alertness, attentiveness and freshness instead of sleep and drowsiness.

Active-alert hypnosis is a gateway into a truly remarkable state of alert, awakened consciousness, free of the habitual distractions of the discursive mind. As such it can provide a healing respite, and individuals can easily learn to seek refuge in this dynamic state of undistracted presence even in the midst of their daily routines. Comparing induction procedures, the active-alert induction shared with the conventional procedure the slowing of left hemispheric processing but the active-alert induction was solely responsible for the improvement in right hemispheric processing.

State achieved by Active-Alert Hypnosis opens the door to using hypnosis in situations that require open eyes and alert attention.
