Hypnosis & Hypnotists?

Question

What can you tell me about your personal experiences with hypnosis?

I don't need websites/limks - I can Google with the best of 'em! I wanna know what YOU think!

Answer 1

I'll start from the beginning.

I bet you didn't know that you pass through two stages of hypnosis before going to sleep each night. Think of hypnosis as "sub-sleep." Also, each hour of hypnosis is like eight hours of sleep. I went to a hypnotist show run by a licensed hypnotist, Jimi Gibson, and he told us this information at the show.

I was hypnotised at the show. So, I CAN tell you that it IS, as a matter of fact, REAL. I am sick of people saying it's fake, but I'm glad you aren't assuming it's fake, you actually want to learn about it. Anyways, at the show, there were twenty chairs in a row on stage, and twenty people would volunteer to be hypnotised. I was chosen, and so we all sat in these twenty chairs. All of us were pretty much really nervous because we thought we'd be unable to control ourselves and embarrass ourselves and everything. Spotlight, hundreds of people in the audience, you know what I mean. That's not how it's like at all, though. First, for a few minutes, he played this music that is supposed to get in your subconscious and told us things in a really deep, relaxing voice. He said things like, "Breathe in...and out...", "Just let it go...", and "You will double your state of relaxation..." My eyes became heavy extremely quickly and then my hands felt heavy, like I'd never want to open my eyes or move my hands, which I didn't unless it was a command of his. Then I would WANT to.

So then he told us to sleep. We all laid all over each other, seriously. I didn't care at all, I just wanted to sleep. But remember it's not literally sleeping, it's just laying there with your eyes closed feeling COMPLETELY relaxed. But then he gave us commands, some of them being to lip-sync to a song, do an Irish jig, forget our last names (I SWEAR I REALLY DID), and stuff like that. I actually can't remember everything we did because he made it so we wouldn't remember everything. After the show, I was so drowsy, and I was yawning constantly. Yet I couldn't sleep that night b/c I'd just gotten the equivalent of 16 hours of sleep, being hypnotised for two hours after all...

But yeah, I definitely recommend going to one of those shows and getting hypnotised because it's so much fun. But remember, the two kinds of people that can't get hypnotised are those with an IQ of less than about 70 (they can't concentrate and pay attention enough) and those who are unwilling to get hypnotised. You only get hypnotised if you are willing to focus. I bought the DVD of the show after and I was so different up there. Well, more outgoing really.

FAQ: You can get hypnotised if you are in the audience, and so can the people filming the show. The people filming are told not to look directly into the camera while filming.

Answer 2

In reality, hypnosis is some thing such a lot folks have skilled in our daily lives. If you might have ever been utterly engrossed in a ebook or film and misplaced all monitor of time or did not listen anyone calling your title, you had been experiencing a hypnotic trance. The hypnotized character isn't sound asleep or subconscious—relatively the opposite. Hypnosis (such a lot ordinarily brought on by way of a hypnotherapist's verbal steerage, now not a swinging pocket watch) creates a hyper-attentive and hyper-responsive intellectual state, wherein the field's unconscious brain is extremely open to inspiration. This does not imply you grow to be a submissive robotic whilst hypnotized. Studies have proven us that well hypnotic topics are lively main issue solvers. While it is actual that the unconscious brain is extra open to inspiration for the period of hypnosis, that does not imply that the field's loose will or ethical judgment is became off. Are a few men and women extra comfortably hypnotized than others? Yes, despite the fact that the rationale isn't obviously understood. Hypnotic responsiveness does not appear to correlate in anticipated approaches with persona tendencies, akin to gullibility, imagery potential or submissiveness. One hyperlink determined is that men and women who grow to be very engrossed in daily routine—studying or tune, for illustration—could also be extra comfortably hypnotized.

Answer 3

Hypnosis is marketed under hundreds of names. There are a lot of people who fear hypnosis because they think that it lets others control them.and a few other illogical reasons.
ALL HYPNOSIS IS SELF HYPNOSIS ! You do it ,you control it , you can end it at any time. The chance of learning it from a book is slim and none. from a tape is fair, From a good practitioner 85%+.
I have been a practitioner since 1954. I was" ONE OF THE LAB RATS" at the U of Chicago when the first of the progressive relaxation techniques was being developed.
