It is really quite easy to hypnotize your subject. Moreover, it is even easier if they want to be hypnotized. Therefore, we will go through a process that you can use on a willing hypnotic subject.
Ask your subject to sit comfortably. The main reason for this is to stop them from fidgeting or getting restless. Then ask them to take in a deep breath. As they breathe in, they can visualize that they are breathing in energy as well as the oxygen in the air. Although this is not very necessary, it is a good way to distract your subject. It helps if you "pace" your subject in this exercise by breathing in deeply as you ask them to do the same. Then ask them to breathe out slowly, imagining all the stresses and worries in their body floating out with the exhaled air. Repeat a breathing exercise a few more times, leading your subject through the process each time. Then ask them to continue with their deep breathing as they move on to the next step.
Tell your subject to allow their eyes to close just as soon as they feel the need to close their eyes. Use this kind of wording as you are actually commanding them to close their eyes. You may add that they feel their eyelids closing if you want. Next up, ask your subject to count backwards slowly from 300 down to 1. Tell them that it does not matter if they lose their place when they are doing this - it is almost certain that they will lose their place and you do not want them to worry about this - and that they should simply restart either at the beginning or roughly, where they left off.
The actual numbers do not really matter; it is just a way of confusing your subject and getting their hypnotic trance underway. If you want, you can add that they will fall deeper and deeper into trance the more they count backwards. Then ask your subject to visualize a set of steps leading down to a beach or a garden or clearing in a forest or any other relaxing scene of your choice. Tell them it does not matter if they cannot see it clearly, it is fine just to get a sense of them steps, an idea that the steps might be there.
Tell your subject that the steps are numbered. The step closest to the top is number ten and the final step is number one. You will be counting with them as they descend these steps in their mind and as they take each step, they will drop deeper and deeper into a hypnotic trance. Count your subject slowly down these steps, remembering to remind them that they are getting deeper into trance occasionally. You will likely see their eyes twitch as the trance begins to take hold. Once they have reached the bottom of the steps, get them to explore whatever it is you have decided to use at the foot of the steps.
I often use a clearing in a forest. That way they can feel the dew on the grass between the toes of their feet, hear the birds singing, notice how the sunlight beams through the branches of the nearby trees, maybe notice a babbling brook, and hear its sounds. You can improvise this as you talk. Then get them to make themselves comfortable somewhere in the scene. At this point, they should be quite deep in hypnosis. You can introduce someone or something that helps them with whatever problem you are dealing with. Talking creatures are good for this and are quite believable in the circumstances. So are friendly strangers. If the problem you are dealing with involves choices, you may decide to have several paths leading from the clearing and the creature or stranger can help them choose the "correct" path. Even though they do not know which one, it is, tell them that they will be drawn to it and will instinctively know which path is correct. Since this is a guided trance, you can ensure that whichever path they take in their mind leads to the solution to the problem you are helping them solve. Once your problem solving is done, bring your subject back out of hypnosis. Tell them you are going to do this and that as you count forwards from 1 through to 10 they will become more and more awake and that by the time you reach 10, their eyes will be open, they will be wide awake and feeling totally refreshed. How to Hypnotize Anyone in Minutes can be solution for many problems.
