Hypnosis Inductions and NLP

At our recent Thursday practice group, we discussed with our good friend Caty Shannon the type of hypnotic induction (the sort that we learned in our hypnosis training in New York with Melissa Tiers) one would use for particular NLP patterns.

For example, if one decided to lead a client through the visual squash, (a staple technique in NLP practitioner trainings) what would be an appropriate induction? As the visual squash aims for parts integration through movement of the hands and arms, then an induction that pre-frames the unconscious to control the hands and arms, such as arm catalepsy and/or arm levitation.

It is interesting to consider which inductions are most suited to which NLP patterns, perhaps you have some ideas?
