Friday Facts

People ask for some interesting hypnosis sessions. Most of mine are athlete based, but I thought I’d share some of the ones just created from over at Uncommon Knowledge.

So, a few facts to share about hypnosis from Dr. Ed Martin.

The Facts about Hypnosis

  1. Going into a state of hypnosis is a very normal natural activity.
  2. Most people describe hypnosis as a restful state where they are still aware, in control,
    but very relaxed, much like the twilight time before sleep.
  3. A person hypnotized is aware of everything the hypnotist says at all times.
  4. The hypnotic subject will never forget anything, unless they agree to forget.
  5. Persons under hypnosis will always awaken from hypnosis easily.
  6. You cannot remain in hypnosis for more than several minutes unless you want to.
  7. Persons in hypnosis will remain in control of themselves at all times.
  8. No person can be hypnotized without their consent, cooperation and willingness.
  9. No one can be made to do anything they are morally opposed to during hypnosis
    (in fact most people appear more ethical during hypnosis)
  10. Hypnosis is not a miraculous power.
  11. Hypnosis merely enables your mind to access and use your own natural healing and
    physical abilities, to assist in healing or physical accomplishment.
  12. Hypnosis allows your subconscious mind to accept positive suggestions
  13. Hypnotic suggestions can change or release unwanted behavior patterns.
  14. Hypnosis can strengthen any part of your personality or ability that you desire.
  15. Hypnosis actually strengthens the will and improves the powers of the mind.
