Can you be hypnotised?

Can you be hypnotised????

The answer is yes. Anybody can be hypnotised, if you meet the following criteria:

1. You trust the hypnotist.
A hypnotist must establish a rapport with her client. This means, spending a few minutes getting to know one another. You must feel comfortable with a hypnotist in order for the session to be successful. A good hypnotist will be able to put the client at ease during the pre-talk.

2. You understand the process.
A pre-talk is necessary in order for the client to understand his role in the process, as well as the hypnotist's role. Being able to work together is essential.

3. You are truly ready for a change.
You must be there because you want to be . . . not because your spouse, parent or friend pushed you into it. No amount of hypnosis will help you quit smoking unless you are ready to quit- FOR YOU. Also, you must be absolutely sick and tired of the filthy weed controlling you, and ready to put it down forever. If you are not, then you're wasting your time. Come back when you are ready (and you will be eventually).

4. You are willing to accept the suggestions.
In an hypnotic trance, you are aware and in control at all times. If a suggestion is made that you are unwilling to accept, there is a possibility that you will jump out of trance immediately, accomplishing nothing.

5. You want to be hypnotised. All hypnosis is self-induced. If you are unwilling to cooperate and follow instructions, you will not go into trance.

A hypnosis can vary from a long, slow relaxation technique to an instant induction, depending on the circumstances and the people involved. Some methods work better then others, and everybody has their favorites. If you want to be hypnotised you can be. Cooperation is the key.

You want to laugh, don't you???

It was entertainment night at the senior center, and the Amazing Claude was topping the bill. People came from miles around to see the famed hypnotist do his stuff. As Claude went to the front of the meeting room, he announced, "Unlike most hypnotists who invite two or three people up here to be put into a trance, I intend to hypnotize each and every member of the audience." The excitement was almost electric as Claude withdrew a beautiful antique pocket watch from his coat. "I want each one of you to keep your eye on this antique watch. It's a very special watch. It's been in my family for six generations."

He began to swing the watch gently back and forth while quietly chanting, "Watch the watch, watch the watch, watch the watch..." The crowd was mesmerized as the watch swayed back and forth, light gleaming off its polished surface. Hundreds of pairs of eyes followed the swaying watch until suddenly, it slipped from the hypnotist's fingers and fell to the floor, breaking into a hundred pieces... "SHIT!" said the hypnotist!

It took three days to clean up the senior center.

Hypno-Sex

“Can hypnosis improve your sex life?”

I received this instant message in bold red letters from a man in New York. Getting some work done on my computer, I didn’t have time to answer this question again.

I get instant messages and e-mails all the time asking me about hypno sex, the popular term used to describe sexual mind control. There are many books available on the subject, which are mostly geared toward men who think that they need help in the sexual department. I do not condone sexual mind control, as I believe it to be abusive and at times dangerous. Although a person will do under hypnosis only what they would do otherwise, hypnosis should never be used without the consent of the person being hypnotized.

Hypnosis can enhance sex in many ways, and it’s worth a try as long as you have ruled out any kind of physical problem with your medical doctor. If your problem is purely psychological, a visit to a good hypnotherapist will get you well on your way to a more enjoyable and satisfactory experience.

Hypnosis will help to decrease anxiety, increase confidence, lower inhibitions and heighten arousal. It can also be used to improve problems with erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and impotence. Sometimes it will only take a few direct suggestions to improve your problem dramatically. However, you could require more intense therapy such as a regression session, which will take you to the root of the problem.

Always go to a qualified professional for hypnosis. There are many safety issues that a hypnotist has been trained to deal with, and an amateur has not. Just as you would only go to a medical doctor for medical treatments, you should think twice about allowing a non-professional to perform hypnosis on you.

What do you see?

Do you see a beautiful young woman, or an old hag?

Everybody sees things in a different way. A positive vision can make your life a wonderful positive experience, whereas a negative vision can make your life miserable and lonely. What would you prefer your life to be?

ACCEPTING HYPNOTIC SUGGESTIONS

I could see Joe's body totally relax. The signs were all there. He was in a deepened state of somnambulism (the deep working state of hypnosis). Having been in hypnosis before, he went under easily and quickly. I knew that as long as he was open to the suggestions I gave him, things would go well and we would accomplish our goals.

As I had explained to Joe in our pre-talk, success depended on his mental attitude, which had to be: "I like the suggestion. I know it's going to work for me!" ANY other attitude would prevent him from accepting the suggestions.

Joe was always in control over his acceptance or rejection of any suggestion. As long as he was a willing participant, I could easily guide him into a relaxed state. All hypnosis is actually self-hypnosis. Hypnotists are educated guides.

If I am allowed to be a guide, I will show the client how to place himself into a relaxed and pleasant state of hypnosis, and how to stay there until we are finished with our work. I will make the suggestions that he and I have already talked about, and he will decide whether to accept them or not. Afterwards, he will feel good, relaxed and have a desire to go under again.

After a person has been under hypnosis once, they become what is known as a "hypno-junkie". Hypnosis is such a beautiful, relaxed and desireable state, that it can be addictive.

So remember- IF you really want to be hypnotized AND you want to accept the suggestions, you WILL have great success with hypnosis. It all depends upon YOUR attitude.
