I don't use a watch to hypnotise people, lots of people are looking out for it when they walk through the door, but usually in the theraputic setting hypnosis is induced by relaxation, like a guided form of relaxation. The experience itself feels a bit like when you have woken up in the morning, hear everything going on around you and you can't be bothered to move because you are still in a relaxed dream like state, that's often what hypnotherapt feels like. The ways of getting in that state are as numerous as there are people and imaginations. You may be able to hear in the background of this recording, the ticking of a clock, and I have found that a rhythmic ticking sound does help people to go into a trance state. I often use noise in the background called 'white noise'. White noise sounds like waves crashing. The reason I use it is because it has the ability to drown out any surrounding sounds to some degree, but also the rhythm of the sound helps people to relax. Those are the tools that I like to use. Essentially a soothing, calm voice is all that you need and imagination. Milton Erickson, a very famous American hypnotist, perhaps the most famous, successful and effective hypnotist of the twentieth century, defined hypnosis as a single pointed focus of attention. That's essentially what you need to be able to do. Whether you stare at a point on the wall, whether you are focusing all of your attention on the sound of somebody's voice, or whether you are focusing all of your attention on a swinging watch, any of those things will take you into a focused, relaxed state.
