A Look Into Hypnosis: Is It Fact or Fraud?

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:13:49 +0000

“The Sleeping Prophet” Edgar Cayce would command himself to engage in out-of-body experiences and near-death experiences through self-hypnosis. Under a trance state, he would give readings and diagnoses to people he has never met. His followers documented almost 14,000 journeys unto the spirit realm, made through his subconscious mind – or what Cayce referred to as the soul.
Sensational historian David Lewis revealed that Adolf Hitler was once hypnotized and this may have been the root of the kind of life he has led. Lewis claimed that in 1918, Hitler believed he has gone completely blind – despite diagnoses of doctors that nothing is wrong with his eyes. Through hypnosis, a doctor suggested to Hitler that indeed, he has lost his eyesight, but through will power he can make himself see again. “That’s because God made him an exceptional person,” the good doctor added. “Since then,” Lewis said, “the hypnosis marked Hitler so much that he took life believing he was exceptional, and the rest, as they say, is history”.

Robert F. Kennedy’s assassin was under the influence of a mastermind through hypnotism during the assassination, and was said to have shown robotic, trance-like movements and repeated “RFK must die” over and over again during police interrogation.

Have you read about clairvoyants reaching into other dimensions to get rare or secret information? How about mediums meddling with the underworld and calling the dead? Hypnosis stories, are they for real?

Hypnosis may be one of the most debated upon and controversial topics known to us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get our facts right. Before we delve further in our study of mind control and its twists and turns, let’s try to get our facts straight first. Here are some of the most popular, yet unproven, takes on hypnosis.

The Powerful Mystical Mysterious Master Hypnotist

No, he doesn’t have supernatural powers. He’s not casting an ancient spell. He’s not an apostle of Satan. Neither is he a saint.

Your friendly neighborhood hypnotist – be he a licensed doctor or a new-age practitioner – does not possess that special kind of “animal magnetism” either. That theory has long been dismissed, as early as in the 17th century. Today, it is proven that to be able to initiate a hypnotism session, the hypnotist may merely provide a very specific visual element to focus on, some soothing music perhaps, and a very convincing, authoritative spiel repeated in a monotone. You need only to be relaxed, aware, and willing to be hypnotized. Of course, the effects of hypnosis can rely on the hypnotist’s ability and experience; as well as the motivation and mental conditioning of the subject.

The Dreamer

People claiming they are under hypnosis, are they dreaming?

The opposite is true – when you are under hypnosis, rather than sleeping, you are actually fully alert. In fact, more alert than normal. Being under hypnotism requires your mind to focus intensely, whether it’s the swinging motion of the pendulum clock, the monotone pattern of the hypnotist’s voice, and the sound of your own breathing as you relax. For your subconscious to take over, you need to concentrate intently. Under a state of trance, you will still be fully aware of the things you will be saying and doing, as suggested upon by the hypnotist – including activities not related to sleeping, such as walking, running around, reading, laughing, and even acting like a chicken.

The Live Chicken Eating Girl

No way! Not eating live chicken, unless of course, you really prefer such gastronomic experiment.

It was widely believed that hypnotists can turn people into zombie-like, robotic creatures ready to obey their master’s bid and call. Popular culture portrayed hypnotized people to behave differently, or do extraordinary, life-threatening, illegal or immoral acts.

Sorry to disappoint you and your cinematic notions, but hypnotism cannot force you to do things against your will (unless the hypnotist is pointing a gun at you, but that’s a stickup). You, an ordinary, law-abiding citizen, will not turn wild and go trashing people’s windshields when under hypnosis. You will still maintain your principles; even if instructed, you won’t trample upon your religion’s holiest shrine. Your sense of right and wrong will remain intact. Nobody can make you strip in front of a crowd – unless you want to. J The hypnotist can only make suggestions that can alter your consciousness, making you more open and easily “manipulated” – to a certain extent. People who have experienced stage hypnotism said that they can refuse to follow the hypnotist’s suggestions, just that “it’s easier to follow him”. This is so because the active, aggressive, decision-making part of the consciousness becomes timid when under a trance. So it is “easier” to just automatically respond to suggestions. To some extent, the hypnotist can control the actions and the way his subjects behave. Conversely, the effect of hypnosis also depends upon your motivation, willingness, and faith to make it work for you.

The Deranged Hit Man

It was formerly believed that the perfect assassin is one under the influence of hypnotism – someone who will be intensely focused on the task, every obstacle trampled upon; someone who will be so sure to get the job done efficiently and cleanly; a lean, mean killing machine. Snap out of it! You may have been watching too many movies and television shows.

As stated, no amount of hypnotism can force anybody to act against his instincts or his moral principles. Yes, you may not help but chuckle like a chicken when, for example, you were chosen as a participant in a hypnotism show. But you may opt not to pull that trigger given that one evil hypnotist tells you to do so. When someone mentions a suggestion as serious as this, something in your mind clicks off automatically and lets you decide rationally. Like when you’re tipsy, you may sing “My Way” without inhibitions and with all the vocal calisthenics you could muster; but you are still aware and you can cut off the song (and probably release your audience from further discomfort) any moment you want to.

One theory on the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy was that the accused did the act because he was hypnotized. It was said that the assassin showed behavior typical of a hypnotized individual. Witnesses said he “moved like a robot” during the time he shot RFK. Tests showed that he is a highly suggestible, easily hypnotic subject. Still nothing of these was acknowledged, or even presented to the court.

Hypnosis – what is hypnosis ?

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:51:30 +0000

The term hypnosis comes from the Greek hypnos (sleep), as it was in the early stages of the research believe that it is a sleep-like state. As a hypnotist, it denotes the mesmerizing person than Hypnotisand (also respondent, in the hypnotherapy patient or client), the hypnotized person. One person can play both roles, a process known as auto-or self-hypnosis, and in all other cases, it is called third-or hetero-hypnosis. A hypnotic trance through hypnosis is induced (induction), the subject is in hypnosis or in a hypnotic trance. To terminate the trance is broken or exduziert (Exduktion), the Hypnotisand wakes up. If the subject (taken in order to deepen the trance, for example) from the trance, and shortly thereafter moved back into a trance, it is called fractionation. In the context of hypnosis, the volunteers if verbal instructions, called suggestions given, which will contribute directly to the subconscious.

Suggestions that will even after the dissolution of hypnosis still be effective are known as post-hypnotic suggestion. Under post-hypnotic suggestion measurable changes in information processing occur in the brain. In neuropsychological imaging studies have shown that while the activity of certain brain areas are selectively reduced.

The Fascinating History Of Hypnosis

admin — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:26:31 +0000

When people think about hypnosis, an image comes to mind of a man sitting and swinging a pendulum in front of someone and saying to them, You are getting very sleepy. This is an image that has been portrayed in movies and the media for years, yet the history of hypnosis goes back much further than most people realize, and is said to be very helpful and healing in several ways. Those who have undergone hypnosis often recall events from the past that they previously had no memory of whatsoever, and this technique is often used to bring up repressed thoughts and emotions in order to help a person overcome certain fears or other problems. Taking a look at the history of hypnosis is both fascinating and educational as well.

Humble Beginnings: A Brief History Of Hypnosis

The Hindus in India are said to be the originators of the history of hypnosis by using it as a health tool in which they would take those who were ill within their village to a placed called a sleep temple. Likewise, this practice was used in Greece and Egypt as well. The ancient Sanskrit in a book called the Law of Manu spoke of different states of hypnosis; the sleep-waking

What exactly are rapid inductions?

admin — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:51:56 +0000

Rapid inductions are used to bring a client in trance very quickly and effectively.

Rapid inductions have formed true myth, because it seems almost incredible to put a man in two to three seconds in deep trance. Rapid inductions are normally not used for hypnosis therapies . Here are gentler methods preferred to give the client enough time to fall in hypnosis piece by piece.

There are different types of rapid inductions. All have in common that they use mechanisms that are based on natural reflexes of man. Those natural reflexes protect against overloading the consciousness and cause the deep trance.

Almost everyone knows situations in which your brain has to handle too many impressions. As result your subconscious will need a break and will fall into a trance. In this situation you can notice that your consciousness isn’t really very active.

Exactly at this point rapid inductions come into play. The hypnotists will try toconfuse the consciousness of the other person for a moment. No bad things, maybe only small movements or processes that you are not accustomed to this way. Just enough to confuse his client. Through this little irritation, the subconscious is open to suggestions. Now he can simply shout “sleep!” and the person will automatically fall into a deep, deep trance .

Rapid inductions don’t work every time with every person. There are about five basic types of rapid inductions, which can be split in countless variations. Some people respond to all types, some only to one or two and some people do not react to rapid inductions at all. Some people just go into a deep trance, others feel a slight dizziness or a feeling of relaxation.

You can say that about that 90% of all people respond to any of those rapid techniques. Of those 90% approximately 50% respond very well, 20% respond to only 2-3 techniques and a further 20% only respond to one technique. Only 10% (one of 10 people) do not react to the rapid inductions at all.
Now I will tell you what you will have to consider if you want to start hypnotizing other people with those techniques. First off all you have to be very confident. If you are not confident your subject won’t trust you anymore and won’t fall into a deep trance.
Make sure that your client sits in a chair. Your client will instantly kiss the ground.

My hypnotic story

admin — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:31:04 +0000

Maybe you are interested in how I started to hypnotize other people.

Few years ago I wasn’t satisfied with my entire situation. I had problems meeting other people and even talking to them was very hard for me. I was shy and totally introverted. Girls always told me about the problems their friends had and I was their emotional wastebasket. I knew that I had to change something. But where did my jurney start ?

The last straw was being rejected by a girl I loved. The next day I was thinking about HOW I could change my life. After a few minutes of using google I found the answer. Pickup. I found many other guys with the same problems I had. Almost every story I read was nearly equal to everything I have experienced. After I signed up at the forums I wrote an article about my problems and I was suprised by the replys. They used to think in a way I have never seen anywhere before. They told my everything about the mistakes I made relating to my story.
There I found a subforum called “NLP/Psychology” including NLP(Neuro-linguistic programming), Ericksonian hypnosis and DHE (Design Human Engineering). I didn’t even know what hypnosis or NLP is or how I could use it to programm my subconscious mind, but I was interested enough to read some postings in this forum. The next day I went to my local libary and borrowed a book about selfhypnosis and possibilities of communicating with the subconscious mind.

This book totally blew my mind.

Tips on how to stop smoking

admin — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 19:57:45 +0000

Nicotine is one of the most addictive, harmful and widely available drugs in the world. Smoking is a bad habit and it is annoying and harmful to people who don’t smoke. Cigarettes are responsible for around 500,000 deaths each year. Quitting smoking is not impossible.

Steps

Get the strong determination to stop smoking. Consider making a list of the reasons you are thinking about quitting to shore up your determination. Specific, current, emotion-based reasons are better than factual, future-based reasons. For instance, “It’s embarrassing to ride the elevator at work smelling like a giant cigarette” is more motivating than “I don’t want to get cancer when I

Stories about hypnosis

admin — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:36:48 +0000

There are many stories and myth about hypnosis. Most untrue stories come from media that give us a wrong understanding of how hypnosis works and what hypnosis is. For example hypnosis is presented as supernatural state of mind very often. Those stories is absolutely wrong. Hypnosis definitely is a natural state of mind everybody experiences many times per day . This natural hypnotic state can be achieved with special hypnosis inductions that allow everyone you hypnotize to fall into a deep hypnotic trance very fast.

Another myth says that people under hypnosis are will-less and have to obey the hypnotist. Don’t belive those stories. People under hypnosis don’t follow the hypnotists instructions if they aren’t positive about the suggestions given by the hypnotist, but it is definitely possible to manipulate other people with suggested hallucinations. For example the hypnotist could suggest that the proband can see a dangerous lion instead a real person in front of him when he opens his eyes. In order to survive this proband has to kill this “lion” with a gun. This is what Alexander Cain did in one of his shows.

The following German video proves that it is possible to commit crimes under hypnosis (fast-forward to 2:20 if you don’t understand what Cain is saying) :

If Cain had suggested him to kill the person in front of him he wouldn’t have shot at all. The reason is quiet simple: The proband wouldn’t have been positive about the suggestions.

Hypnosis Stories

admin — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 21:24:06 +0000

You can find hypnosis stories from all over the world on the Internet. When we find those stories we have to differentiate between real therapeutic stories and stage hypnosis stories. Stage hypnosis stories can mostly be found in media and in most cases they give us a wrong understanding of what hypnosis is and how the true power of hypnosis can be used to archive one’s goals.

Hypnosis stories written by people that have been hypnotized can be a good way to overcome your fears relating to hypnosis, especially if you have never been hypnotized before. Only if you are without bias you can be hypnotized with greatest success.

If I didn’t have any knowledge about hypnosis I would search for hypnosis stories on the Internet in order to learn from what other people have experienced.

Maybe you have already considered to face your problems and you might have decided whether you want to use hypnosis CDs or if you want to pay for a hypnotist to achieve your goals.

If I were thinking about using hypnosis to quit smoking, lose weight, or to deal with other issues such as low self-esteem, depression or anger, I would inform myself about those topics, read successful stories and then I would start using hypnosis CDs you can find in the Internet.

Those stories might motivate you to solve your problems with very low afford.

Hypnosis stories can help you to find the best solution for your problems. If you are skeptical about hypnosis those reports can help you to get rid of your prejudice.

hypnosis transformation

What exactly is hypnosis ? Simply said hypnosis is the fastest and most effective way to archive one’s goals. Hypnosis can effect illusions, hallucinations and reproduce memories of long forgotten events. Hypnosis can help everyone to archive peak power, loose anxieties and gain incredible self-confidence. There are no barriers and no limitations!
Everyone who wants to start learning hypnosis should deal with suggestions. Suggestions can subconsciously affect ones thinking, one’s will and one’s feelings.
Hypnosis is, in most cases, inducted by targeted suggestions, equal if one is hypnotizing oneself or somebody else.
You might ask yourself if everybody is hypnotizable. About 90 percent of all people can be hypnotized.
The more intelligent a person is the faster and deeper the hypnosis will be.
Those 90 percent can be split up in three groups:

1. People that can be hypnotized very fast and easy.
2. People that need a lot of time to get hypnotized
3. People that are very hard to hypnotize

To hypnotize people that are very hard to hypnotize you should use a dehypnosis -technique which allows them to sink into trance much faster and deeper.
The induction you use can depend on the clients brain. Generally said there are three types of brains. If the left brain hemisphere doesn’t work well or is injured you will become depressive and weary whereas injured right brain hemispheres result in happiness and fun. So we can say that people who’s left brain hemisphere is overactive automatically will argue logically and foreward looking whereas people with a very active right brain hemisphere talk about their feelings and the past. They are never satisfied with the things they have and always try to improve their lifes, but in most cases this will take a long time fore them.
The third type of person uses both parts of the brain equally. Those persons are very creative and have visions very often.
In this small overview you learned what hypnosis is and which problems can be solved with the power of hypnosis.
