Has anyone ever looked into someones eyes and been hypnotized, or vice versa? |

Many people get their bad habits and phobias from people of authority as they grow up. Even a simple suggestion from a mother to a child "You are going to fall!" could lead an impressionable mind into being afraid of falling / heights. Another example could be "Don't go near the water." Many think that this is how the mind gets conditioned into certain behavior and how hypnosis can help people recondition themselves into other behavior by undoing the early suggestions. Undoing, by letting the grown up child see how they may have been put into situations by an authoritative person.
It would be highly unlikely that someone could be hypnotized by looking into just anyone's eyes. My point was that a Hypnotherapist may create a trigger for a client during their first session so they may be hypnotized again during the next session without having to go through a long induction. Normally this is done with some combination of things like a specific spoken word and an action.

But then, in regards to HypnoDoc's recent blog about if a person of authority told you that if you look into someones eyes, you'll be hypnotized, and if that authority convinces you that it is so, you'll be hypnotized whenever you look into someones eyes. But that brings up the question, what does the term authoity really mean. It could be a big brother/sister, a older role model (like my friend in grade school), a mom or dad (doesn't have to be your parents)

I think it started when my friend in grade school told me that his grandma could hypnotize someone by looking into their eyes and humming some weird tune. Since I sort of looked up to him as a role model, him being older then me, I guess I belived it. |

If a person of authority can convince you that it is the eye color that is the reason for the hypnotic state and you believe it, then the eye color could be the trigger. If the subject had been under hypnosis before and the suggestion that looking into the hypnotist's eyes would cause them to enter hypnosis then this could also be the reason.
I know of several people who just love to be in the hypnotic state and for them sometimes just the mention by the Hypnotist that they do hypnosis is enough for them to want to be hypnotized. In one such situation in a very noisy New York City bar I was able to place the wife of a friend into hypnosis just by saying one word to her. She was told that I knew hypnosis, she told me she loved to be in hypnosis and so I looked her in the eyes - saw that she couldn't wait and told her it was ok.
She was under for all of 20 seconds as I gave her suggestions that she would feel like she just awoke from a nice long nap and she would feel wonderful in every way.

Mark's first post said it all. you get what you expect, and if you were told by someone you respect that a particullar piece of music was hypnotic, you would enter the trance isntantly when it was played..I have hypnotised someone with any of their five senses, just for fun. Sight, sound, touch and taste. The later was the cause of some thought, but I found a way....... |

Hi Koda, Your friend is either misinformed or "putting you on." Color of eyes has nothing to do with hypnotic response or ability to hypnotize. With Respect, Gil Boyne |

Yesterday, I saw one person look into another person's eyes and being able to hypnotize the other person. When I asked them how they did that, they said it was because brown-eyed people have "stronger eye force" than people with blue eyes. Has anyone ever heard of this? I am new to hypnosis and want to find out all I can about it at the risk of sounding like an idiot. |

Hi Koda, In my career of fifty years as a hypnotherapist, on two occasions, clients fell into a trance as I introduced myself and looked into their eyes. This rare occurrence is due to subconscious mental expectancy. Often it is the result of information given to an impressionable child by an authority figure or a movie or a book or even a comic strip. Many years later, when meeting a hypnotist, the subconscious idea surfaces and creates the result. Stage hypnotists use this awareness when they tell the subject, "Look into my eyes". With Respect, Gil Boyne |
