Hypnosis |

| This page is intended 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. A person in hypnosis (often referred to as Conscious Hypnosis) is not 'asleep' - they are often more aware of what is taking place than usual and their senses function more efficiently than normal. Nobody could possibly be made to do anything that they did not want to do, and anybody (except the truly mentally sub-normal, very young children and inebriates) can enter the hypnotic state. 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 state of Hypnosis, a totally natural phenomenon, is most pleasant and particularly relaxing, and a person can converse quite easily whilst within the state. It is inconceivable that any harm could befall them. Indeed, the centuries old technique of hypnosis is being used increasingly as an adjunct to orthodox medicine where it is proving a valuable alternative to drugs for anaesthesia, to accelerate healing, relieve stress and control pain. A good definition of Hypnosis is: 'A state of relaxation and concentraton at one with a state of heightened awareness induced by suggestion'. The voice is used to induce you into the state of Hypnosis and, although you are unlikely to feel 'hypnotised' as such, you will probably experience a feeling of mental and physical relaxation and your memory may well be enhanced. |
