Exactly What Is

HYPNOSIS?

This information is designed to allay some of the fears concerning the use of hypnosis, the myths and mystery surrounding which are totally undeserved, and to make clear that what takes place is very normal and non-magical, with predictable results.

There is absolutely no question of being controlled or manipulated, or even induced into a deep trance state. People in hypnosis (often referred to as conscious hypnosis) are not asleep - they are often more aware of what is taking place than usual and their senses function more efficiently than normal. Anybody can enter the hypnotic state. The only exceptions are people with severe learning difficulties, very young children and inebriates. People who say or think: 'nobody could get me under', or 'I wouldn't want anybody controlling my mind', or 'I might blurt my secrets out', are really demonstrating that they have a total misconception of what hypnosis really is.

 

The American Society of Clinical Hypnosis describes hypnosis as -

 

Hypnosis is a state of inner absorption, concentration and focused attention. It is like using a magnifying glass to focus the rays of the sun and make them more powerful. Similarly, when our minds are concentrated and focused, we are able to use our minds more powerfully. Because hypnosis allows people to use more of their potential, learning self-hypnosis is the ultimate act of self-control.

In hypnosis, the patient is not under the control of the hypnotist. Hypnosis is not something imposed on people, but something they do for themselves. A hypnotist simply serves as a facilitator to guide them.

Will hypnosis work for me?

 

Approximately 90 to 95 percent of the population can be hypnotized. Hypnosis requires your commitment and your desire to be successful. A hypnotic state builds on your focus, intelligence and creativity. It has nothing to do with the hypnotist taking control and it is also a myth that intelligent people can't be hypnotized. Stronger-minded and stronger-willed people are easier to hypnotize -- not the other way around.

 

·         Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that we all use regularly. For instance, when we're daydreaming or every night falling into sleep and again upon awakening.

·         Willingness, belief, and motivation have great influence over the ability to be hypnotized.

·         During hypnosis you are neither asleep nor unconscious, and will always "come out" when you wish.

·         You cannot be made to divulge information or do anything against your will while in hypnosis.

·         Hypnosis is not satanic or religion-oriented at all; it is just a way to direct your inner mind toward the positive.

·         Always remember, though, that your unconscious mind will reject any suggestions that are inappropriate for you.

Some people believe that only weak-minded or gullible people can be hypnotized. Nothing can be further from the truth! In fact, the reverse is true. Intelligent and strong-willed individuals are generally more likely to benefit from hypnosis. Stronger-minded and stronger-willed people are easier to hypnotize -- not the other way around, as is usually assumed.
