Often the subject’s blink reflex will start to slow down. When the subject’s eyes defocus you will see a relaxing of the muscles around the eyes and, depending on the amount of illumination in the room, pupil dilation. In these cases you will often see a lack of blink reflex and open eye catalepsy (inability to blink or close the eyes). If you are telling a compelling story or are using direct eye contact the subject will often de-focus their gaze and have their eyes fixed on either a random place in the room (maybe visualising the story you are telling) or on your eye contact. ![]() One of the main principles of hypnosis is to capture attention.
