Hypnosis: Is It Crazy Voodoo Magic Or Science?
You will LOVE how happy you will be after learning hypnosis.
Every day, we fluctuate through various degrees of perception. But what if we could tap into those deeper subconscious aspects of ourselves and others? What if we could communicate with our subconscious and give it ‘suggestions’, shaping our minds and inducing the mental states we most desire? Welcome to the realm of possibilities.
In superficial hypnosis, you are using hypnotic language and tone to deepen your connections with others. You are bypassing the conscious mind, without the person having to be in a trance.
In deep hypnosis, you are inducing a trance to communicate with your subject’s subconscious. You are fostering a series of physical and mental changes as your subject enters a deeper trance.
Superficial hypnosis falls under the purview of social gurus, psychologists, dictators, and businessmen. Mid-trance falls within the realm of hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis.
The deep trance falls into the realm of stage hypnosis.
One of the most fascinating aspects of our brain is how when we are not there to critically analyze (with full awareness), our subconscious mind fills in the blanks. This is why hypnosis works. You are bypassing the restrictions imposed by your conscious mind. You don’t have to “know” precisely what is going on, because your subconscious will do the work for you.
So, you want to try hypnosis … but you have no idea where to start. You must begin to tune in to your body. Everyone has a unique level of ‘hypnotizability’
Did you know that you can activate your subconscious mind simply by using your words, body language, and tone of voice? This is the beauty of superficial hypnosis (also known as conversational hypnosis). In superficial hypnosis, you can incorporate hypnotic suggestions into daily conversation, without the subject knowing. This has practical implications for forensic psychologists, wealthy entrepreneurs, social gurus, and dictators. When we incorporate a suggestion, the subconscious mind is forced to “fill in the blanks” to make sense of what we just said.
Donald Trump uses these ‘psychological mind tricks’ a lot in his campaigns.
‘MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING … that Crooked Hillary is a criminal and a thief. “
MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING … Trump WINE is fantastic. “
Wait, wait a second here, who is saying this? And exactly how many people are saying this? Trump’s failure to specify forces our subconscious mind to fill in the blanks. “A lot of people are saying this, so why should we bother to question the validity of their statements?”
MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING … Trump is racist, misogynist and temperamentally incapable of being president. ‘
Superficial hypnosis derives its power from ambiguity, implicity, and embedded suggestions. Superficial hypnosis is a powerful tool to deepen your report during any social interaction.
Imagine the tremendous happiness and joy you will feel when you can use hypnosis to change your life. In self-hypnosis and hypnotherapy, you can direct your subject into a “middle trance.” At this stage, the mind is extremely susceptible to hypnotic commands.
When you go into a mid-trance, you can start feeding on suggestions. ‘In the next few days and weeks … you will become much more focused, relaxed and content. Isn’t it nice to know that you will be able to unleash this blissful state on demand?
According to the law of rehypnosis, using hypnosis regularly is like training a muscle. You will find that it is getting easier and easier to go into a middle trance.
In deep hypnosis (sleepwalking), you can trigger a variety of hallucinations and delusions in your subject. To reach a deep trance state, it is essential to know the subject’s “level of hypnotizability”. Only less than 20% of the population are sleepwalkers like me, capable of feeling the effects of trance instantly.
The stage hypnotists will begin by conducting preliminary tests to locate the sleepwalkers in the audience. And that’s when the fun begins.
During hypnotic illusions, the subject perceives an object as something it is not. For example, a theatrical hypnotist may give someone a broom and tell them that they are the love of their life, and they will begin to show their affection for the broom. Another intriguing suggestion is positive hallucination, when the subject perceives something that is not there. Your imagination is doing all the work. For example, you may be asked to imagine a yellow canary. And finally, in negative hallucinations, the subject experiences the loss of a perception. For example, you can perceive a person as invisible.

Frequent questions
1) How does hypnosis work? Is this some crazy voodoo magic?
Despite being incredibly powerful, hypnosis is not magic. There is a logical reason for hypnosis. When I say “subconscious mind”, it is an abstract term. There is not a single part that we can call the subconscious mind. Our subconscious is multifaceted. Hypnosis can be defined as “allowing the subconscious to fill in the blanks, when the conscious and analytical mind is not there to do the work.” Using this definition, we experience hypnotic states every night: our subconscious must fill in the blanks in the form of dreams, whenever thought activity arises in REM or NREM sleep.
2) Can anyone learn hypnosis?
Everyone has a subconscious mind that ‘fills in the blanks’. Therefore, everyone can benefit from hypnosis. That said, everyone has a unique level of hypnotizability.
3) I am afraid of hypnosis. What if I never wake up from a trance?
You have absolutely nothing to fear. ‘Hypnos’ literally means to sleep. Just as the dream is reversible, the trance is reversible. The worst case scenario is that you will fall asleep.
4) How does the trance feel?
Imagine having a state of pleasure, euphoria and tranquility, which you can enter whenever you want. Nothing compares to that.
