Читать книгу How to Hypnotize Anyone Effectively: Unlocking the Secrets of Mind Control and Hypnosis - William Inc. Michael - Страница 3

When you hear of hypnosis, you tend to think of it as a way to get people to do your bidding, so imagine the surprise many feel when they find out that hypnosis is not a way to use minions to go forth and follow your commands.

Movies would have us believe that a hypnotic induction can turn an average person into an assassin, also not so.

Another myth is that the person who is hypnotized is actually asleep, so deep asleep that they do not have any control over what they are doing and will have no memory of what happens to them.

Many people, who after being taken out of the hypnotic trance find it hard to believe that they were even hypnotized, because they could hear everything said to them and they expected that to not be the case.

People who are hypnotized are actually just in a highly suggestive state, called trance, and they hear and remember everything. People who are able to help induce the trance state are the people who use hypnosis to help the people reach that trance state.

As a matter of fact, it is possible to put yourself into the state of trance, which is called self-hypnosis and is a very good tool for helping people with self-improvement, such as losing weight, stop smoking, gain confidence, overcome insomnia, and a huge variety of other things.

Hypnosis is akin to putting somebody into a super relaxed state, leaving them open to suggestion through their subconscious mind.

You cannot use hypnosis to force somebody to do something that they do not wish to do that is another myth, hypnosis does not surrender that person to your complete control, and the hypnotized subject is not powerless and can take himself or herself out of the trance state at any time.

Some other common myths about hypnosis include:

Being put under hypnosis will not guarantee that the subject will be truthful when asked questions. Fact is, if somebody is capable of lying or withholding information in their normal state, they will be able to do the same in the hypnotic state as well. You cannot use hypnosis to “force” the truth from somebody. Otherwise, every court in every county would employ somebody skilled in hypnosis.

Hypnotic trance does not render the person into a mindless slave of whoever has induced the trance. You will hear everything going on, as a matter of fact you will be so tuned into the hypnotist’s voice that you will find it easy to tune out all of the background noise.

You will be able to remember what happens to you while in a hypnotic trance. It may seem blurry, or like a dream that you have had, or it might be hard to remember, this changes from person to person but for the most part, the people in the trance are able to remember what has happened, there is no amnesia or blackouts during trance.

Anybody who has seen the movie Office Space might think that if something happens while you are in trance, you will be stuck that way or will be forever following the last suggestion made to you. This is also false, although it made for an entertaining movie it is not the case.

Those are some of the common misconceptions about hypnosis. Hypnosis is an induced trance state that helps to open up the subconscious mind, which is normally guarded by our conscious thinking.

Hypnosis allows that door to open, allowing suggestions to be used that can be used to either benefit the subject, usually in the areas of self-improvement, or for fun, such as a hypnosis show.
