How Does Hypnosis Really Work? Just The Facts Please!

In order to answer the question, how does hypnosis work, below are the top ten misconceptions that people have regarding hypnosis:


Misconception #1: Hypnosis is sleep or loss of consciousness.

Truth: Hypnosis is not sleep. Many people think that while doing hypnosis, they will go into in a state of sleep like when they go to bed.

NOT TRUE!

Hypnosis is merely a state of physical relaxation and actually heightened mental alertness.

Misconception #2: A person won’t hear anything but the hypnotist’s voice because they’ll be in some weird altered state like "LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS" Man!

Truth: Hypnosis is not some psychedelic state. The subject is able to hear everything that is going on in the room, and outside of the room. There is no selective hearing in hypnosis. The hypnotist can suggest that other distraction be ignored for the moment. This will only work if the client wants it to.

Misconception #3: A person doesn’t remember what the hypnotist tells them.

Truth: Absolutely false. A person remembers everything that is said to them during hypnosis.

Misconception #4: When doing hypnosis, you are under the complete control of the hypnotist.

Truth: In reality, hypnosis allows the subject to be more in control. The people who you see in the stage hypnosis shows are exercising their control by volunteering to go up on stage. They know it is an acceptable context in which they can let their inhibitions down.

In a therapeutic context, any suggestion that is out of context of self-improvement will be automatically rejected by both the subconscious and conscious minds.

Misconception #5: Not everyone can be hypnotized, only the weak-minded and the gullible.

Truth: EVERYONE who is of normal functioning intelligence, is willing to be hypnotized, and is willing to follow instructions within a context of self-improvement, CAN in fact be hypnotized.

Misconception #6: Hypnosis is about putting things into your mind and mind control.

Truth: Hypnosis is NEVER about putting things into your mind" and mind control."

The fact is that people have within themselves the beliefs, attitudes, and resources to accomplish their goals. But because of their past, or their environment, or constant negative conditioning, those beliefs, attitudes, and resources have been suppressed.

To answer the question, how does hypnosis work, what hypnosis does is merely reinforce the positive beliefs, attitudes, and resources a person has to help them accomplish their goals.

Misconception #7: What if I can’t be "Un-hypnotized"

Truth: There has not been one case of a person ever not "coming out of hypnosis," and for good reason. Because hypnosis is basically the state right before a person falls asleep.

So if for some strange reason, the hypnotist were to leave the room, or in an extreme case, die, the subject would merely drift asleep, naturally wake up, and end up with an expensive nap!

Misconception #8: Hypnosis causes people to reveal their deep, dark, hidden secrets.

Truth: I WISH!!!!! Absolutely false. A person always has control of what they say and do during hypnosis. Remember, any suggestion that is out of context, or violates one’s morals, ethics, and values will automatically be rejected.

Misconceptions #9: Hypnosis is harmful.

Truth: There has NEVER been a documented case of anyone suffering harm from the use of hypnosis.

Misconceptions #10: Hypnosis is satanic, or devilish, or supernatural in some way.

Truth: Hypnosis is merely a state of relaxation and heightened mental alertness that helps people easily achieve their amazing goals.

My personal mission is to educate the public as to how hypnosis really works, to take away any fear or misconceptions and allow more people to experience this wonderful modality of human change

The Truth is out THERE!........Where?.......OUT THERE!

Where do I stand on Past Life Regression??

DO I BELIEVE??
IS IT REAL??

Can I really experience a past life?? More then ONE past life!!! How many have I had??

How scary is it?? Will I feel pain??

These are only some of the questions I had when I first heard of Past Life Regression. You like me, are sitting there asking yourself the same questions and more probably.

So what is it all about? Do we really live more then one life or are we all being coned by unscrupulous therapist with dollar signs in their eyes??

The great thing about living in Canada is that any time something seems unusual, fantastic or just out right crazy, we can investigate it and make up our own minds.

I read everything I could get my hands on!!! From Edgar Cayce, Georgina Cannon, Michael Yapko and many more to try to determine if Past Life Regression is really possible.

As a hypnotist I’ve always felt that only way to really know what is going on is to try it out for myself.

Then and only then, can I have the right to have an opinion one way or another.
So I did!

What I discovered for myself is a world of hidden knowledge inside of me that surpasses the question “did I live before” and just makes me feel wondrous at the capacity of my mind to create a world I knew not existed within me.

When you experience a past life regression, you will experience amazement at first, then disbelief, then amazement again and many other emotions as you try to make sense of everything you have just experienced.

If you are anything like me, you will immediately try to find a way to explain what has just happened.

Which I did!!!

What I found after experiencing a few sessions is that it really didn’t matter whether it was real or not because it is the knowledge that I brought back that has helped me move forward in a more positive way.

I now want to experience life in its entirety because each time I do something new I’m creating a new me.

I now believe that quality of my life is directly linked to the journey not the destination! I am now compelled to keep moving in new directions and to top it off I may have more then one life to journey in? Wow!

Here we are……. back where I started.

Do I or Don’t I believe in PAST LIFE REGRESSION?

Does……it…..Really…..matter?
