Article: This is a more direct approach than the imagery method.  This can actually involve a suggestion to use your imagination, but suggestions, if successful, should seem to take less effort. This method can result in more specific changes to behavior and/or perceptions than other techniques. More careful instruction on the part of the hypnotist will be required. After the subject is in the hypnotic state, they are receptive to suggestions and the hypnotist can pass along the instruction or condition.  The instruction needs to be specific, but simple. Create a cue, such as the opening of eyes or ringing of a bell, to start and end the instruction's effect. Do not deviate from your calm, steady voice during the conditioning. Bring the subject out of the period of suggestion with the cue you created. If you are experimenting, it's best to try one suggestion at a time. If your subject choose a specific behavior they want elicited or stopped, modify your instructions accordingly.   In the experimental setting, the hypnotist can try some practical suggestions as long as they are careful they will do no harm. The hypnotist can try suggesting the subject perform an action like take a drink, eat, write. The hypnotist could try having them respond to a command or stimulus such as doing one action when you play a musical note. The hypnotist can suggest something more complex--perhaps having them respond with a specific phrase when you give a command phrase. Stopping habits like smoking, nail-biting, and the like is a common use for this technique. This technique can also create behaviors and images like seeing lost friends, memory effects, and pain displacement. While this technique is not as drawn out as the imagery method, multiple sessions can still be useful for testing variations of the experimental version's effectiveness. Extended therapy sessions can also be beneficial.  Maintain communication between hypnotist and subject to determine if the therapy is improving behavior and/or lifestyle. Make sure there isn't a more serious medical problem if prolonged sessions are not having an effect. If suggestion therapy isn't working, then the subject may need encouragement to pursue other methods.  Examine the other hypnotic tricks/approaches like image and cognitive therapy for their potential benefits. Discuss with the subject if they are willing to try these other methods. If significantly more pronounced mental illness is presenting itself, then a mental health professional should be consulted for further examination.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Plant a suggestion in the subject's mind. Speak the instruction after hypnotic induction. Target a particular behavior and/or sensation. Plan regular sessions. Consider other techniques.
Article: Keep the mint in a single layer with as little overlap as possible. Mint leaves will dry more evenly if kept in a single layer since each leaf will receive the same amount of heat as the others. Leaves that are in stacks or piles will need to be stirred during the process, and some may finish drying out well before others. Place the dehydrator tray back into the dehydrator and turn the device onto the lowest temperature setting available.  A low amount of heat is all that you need to dry mint and similar herbs. If your dehydrator does not have a thermostat, you should check the device more often during the dehydrating process to prevent the leaves from burning. Remove any unnecessary trays before you begin. Doing so will clear more room for larger leaves and increase the overall amount of air circulation the mint leaves receive. Check the mint every five minutes or so. Remove the mint from the device as soon as it appears dry. The edges should begin curling up and the leaves should look crispy yet green.

Spread the mint leaves out on a dehydrator tray. Switch the dehydrator onto the lowest setting. Dehydrate until dry.
Article: Perhaps you make several types of crafts, but aren't sure which one would be a strong seller.  Or maybe you want to go “all-in” on crafting for profits despite a lack of previous experience.  You may want to start by seeing what others are selling successfully.  Visit craft shows in your area, local retailers that sell crafts, and websites that specialize in selling handmade items.  What are other crafters trying to sell, how much are they selling it for, and do they seem to actually be making sales? Depending on your situation, you may be seeking validation of the possible profitability of your chosen craft, or inspiration on the type of crafting to focus your energies on. Being inspired by others is a good start, but you also need to be motivated to do the work.  If you're going to make some real money by selling your wares, you'll have to dedicate substantial time and energy to making, marketing, selling, and shipping your craftwork.  If your heart is not in it, your chances of success are minimal.  If you find that hand-weaved baskets seem to sell well, but you hate basket weaving and much prefer working with ceramics, you're probably best served to follow your passion.  At very least, you'll “go down swinging,” as they say. Some of the work involved in selling crafts can be repetitive drudgery, so it is helpful if the creation component of it is at least stimulating and enjoyable. Let's face it — if people want junk crafts, they will just buy mass-produced knock-offs at a big box retailer for a lower price.  Many people love handmade items, but they want those hands to be skilled ones.  You need to do a reality check — is your crafting good enough to stack up to the competition?  Your birdhouses or vases may be good enough to give your niece for her birthday, but are they good enough for strangers to pay real money for them? You may want to take some time mastering your craft before jumping into sales.  It is better to build a reputation for high quality craftsmanship right from the start. Whether you are selling crafts, cars, or commercial real estate, you need to have some talent for running numbers and estimating costs and profits to be successful.  You have to be practical about the potential profitability of your craftwork.  When establishing the “price point” for your craftwork, you need to consider the cost of materials; supplies, equipment, and possibly workspace; advertising; stocking your items for sale; shipping (especially if selling online); labor (yours and possibly others'); and the retail markup, which should probably be at least in the 30-35% range.  If you cannot produce your craft for a reasonable price while still making a profit, then you need to change your craft, streamline your methods, or forget about making money this way. However much scouting, planning, and number-crunching you do, selling crafts for a profit is always going to be a bit of a crapshoot.  What works for some may not work for others, for a variety of reasons known and unknown.  Don't go into the process expecting to make big money right away, or you are bound to be disappointed.  It takes time to start making money selling crafts, and even that is not always enough.  So, there is no guarantee of success, but there is also nothing that says you cannot be successful.  A positive attitude can go a long way, especially during the lean times early on.

See what sells. Follow your passion. Focus on quality. Do the math. Be optimistically realistic.
