Apposition of opposites is a hypnotic suggestion used to enhance the quality of trance or deepen your client into hypnosis. The way it works is very simple: address one known physical condition your client is engaged in and instruct the rest of his or her body at once to fall deeper into hypnosis. For example, if you started using the hand levitation induction, you could use the apposition of opposites by saying, “and perhaps you notice how your hand feels lighter and lighter and your body relaxes even deeper.” With a client you’ve been working on for more than the first session, you can also push his or her hand down at once (but gently) as you say “deeper.”
