Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a lot like daydreaming. When you
daydream, you alter your state of consciousness to the alpha
frequency region and engage in your fantasies. All the while
you are conscious and aware, yet you remain oblivious to external
distractions. Daydreaming is a perfectly normal, safe, and
healthy phenomenon that we all engage in from time to time.
Sometimes a daydream is so intense and goal-oriented that the
person achieves the goal. This usually happens spontaneously
and without deliberate intent.
Hypnosis is a technique that enables you to achieve
this altered state of consciousness - the daydream state -
deliberately and direct your attention to specific goals in
order to achieve them. Like daydreaming, hypnosis is a perfectly
normal, safe and healthy phenomenon. In hypnosis, like daydreaming,
you are conscious and aware, yet remain oblivious to external
distractions. In both daydreaming and hypnosis your mind adjusts
to the alpha frequency range - the difference is that in hypnosis
your mind is directed to specific beneficial goals you wish
to achieve and not to fantasies. These beneficial goals include
quitting smoking, dieting, improving self-image, overcoming
phobias and fears, improving memory - the list of uses is limitless.
There are many serious misunderstandings about
hypnosis. Many of these misunderstandings have been promoted
by B-grade movies that depict people being transformed into
zombie-like creatures by some super-powerful mystic who says, "Look
into my eyes!" While this may make for an exciting movie,
it is 100 percent fiction and has no resemblance to the truth.
Firstly, no person can be hypnotized against
his or her will. The subject must be 100 percent co-operative.
Second, no one under hypnosis can be made to do anything they
would not freely do if not under hypnosis. During hypnosis,
the subject can choose to accept or reject any suggestion given.
If a suggestion is given that upsets the subject, he or she
would likely come out of hypnosis immediately of their own
choice.
Under hypnosis, the subject is awake and aware
- extremely so. The hypnotized subject has merely focused his
or her attention to where the hypnotist directs it, and is
oblivious to anything else.
To achieve the desired result, a series of sessions
of hypnosis are performed.
