Unusual Powers of Hypnosis

Hypnosis
has many faces, which is part of its fascination as a career.
It is conceivable that a single hypnotist could cover all
of its facets. Some hypnotists actually combine hypnotherapy
with a career on the stage but one of the most incredible
things about hypnosis is all its unusual uses.
1.
Hypnosis can effectively enhance memory recall, allowing
subjects to experience past events very vividly, even to the
point of believing that they are consciously present at these
events. How far can this go? And as you may have heard, some
people think hypnosis can recover memories from a past lifetime.
2.
Forensic hypnosis has been used often in enhancing the memory
of participants in criminal court cases, primarily with
victims or witnesses to enhance the memory of the event. It
was used in the cases of Ted Bundy, Sam Shepherd and Albert
DeSalvo, the Boston Strangler. In the case of DeSalvo, it
was used with the defendant himself.
3.
Hypnosis can induce a partial or almost complete state of
anaesthesia, making subjects or patients oblivious to
the surgeon's knife, a state presumably similar to that of
an Indian fakir, who can stick needles into his arm or lie
on a bed of nails without experiencing pain.
4.
Another, scientifically verifiable aspect of hypnosis is the
ability to create positive hallucinations. When I was
in elementary school, I read a book on hypnosis that claimed
that the hypnotist had created, for himself, a little pink
elephant that followed him around all the time. The trouble
was that he couldn't get rid of it right away. He had forgotten
to suggest the possibility for removal of that little pink
phantom. That really impressed me as to the potential of hypnosis.
5.
Hypnosis can be used to create relaxation during contractions
in childbirth. It also helps to create a positive, trusting
attitude toward the labor and birthing processes. Stress hormones
are eliminated that are fundamentally responsible for the
pain in childbirth. Instead, wonderful endorphins that are
your body's natural pain relievers (and nature's love drug)
are elevated, thus keeping the laboring mother in a state
of relaxation and having a sense of well-being.
6.
One extraordinary use of hypnosis is involved with overcoming
specific phobias. Phobias are deeply held unconscious
fears which affect a person?s whole life and psychological
well-being.
7.
Perhaps one of the most important aspects of hypnosis is its
ability to suggest and influence courses of action to people
both inside of and outside the hypnotic trance. A suggestion
given within a state of hypnosis that will have effect outside
is called a post-hypnotic suggestion. These types of suggestions
can have a profound and meaningful effect when trying to influence
discordant habitual behaviour like smoking or gambling.

Medical
Hypnosis Cures Phobias, Addictions and Pain
By
Melissa Beattie-Moss

State University
You're
growing tired. Your eyelids are getting heavy. You're feeling
very sleepy...
Most
of us recognize these words as the Hollywood script of a
hypnosis session. Typically portrayed as the tool of comics
and hucksters ("At my command, you will crow like a
rooster") or nefarious, mind-controlling villains,
hypnosis has a serious type-casting problem to overcome.
Beyond
the stereotypes, is there any validity to hypnosis as a
therapeutic technique?
Hypnotherapy
-- or medical hypnosis -- has a long history as a controversial
treatment for physical and psychiatric ailments. Many leading
medical figures since the 18th century (including Austrian
physician Franz Mesmer, for whom the verb "mesmerize"
was coined) experimented with putting patients into trance
states for healing purposes. Determined to know whether
this new medical treatment was genuine or a hoax, King Louis
XVI of France commissioned a panel of experts, including
Ambassador Benjamin Franklin, to investigate Mesmer's claims.
In 1784, the "Franklin commission" released its
report, which found "mesmerism" to be "utterly
fallacious" and without merit.
"It
has taken centuries for medical hypnosis to regain credibility,"
said Penn State psychology professor William Ray. "In
the 1950s, reliable measures of hypnotizability were developed,
which allowed this research field to gain validity. We've
seen more than 6,000 articles on hypnosis published since
then in medical and psychological journals.
Today,
there's general agreement that hypnosis can be an important
part of treatment for some conditions, including phobias,
addictions and chronic pain."
Ray's
own research uses hypnosis as a tool to better understand
the brain, including its response to pain. "We have
done a variety of EEG studies," said Ray, "one
of which suggests that hypnosis removes the emotional experience
of pain while allowing the sensory sensation to remain.
Thus, you notice you were touched but not that it hurt."
Despite
increasing recognition by the medical establishment, popular
myths about hypnosis persist, such as the belief that it
is a truth serum, that it causes subjects to lose all free
will, and that hypnotists can erase their clients' memories
of their sessions.
In
truth, hypnosis is something most of us have experienced
in our everyday lives. If you've ever been totally engrossed
in a book or movie and lost all track of time or didn't
hear someone calling your name, you were experiencing a
hypnotic trance.

Questions to Get Inside Their Heads
These
four hypnotic questions will give you tremendous insight
into anyone you meet while effortlessly creating instant
repport
By

These
were somewhat popular back in the good old days
of alt.seduction.fast but have fallen out of
favor in recent years, mostly due to the popularity
of The Cube.
These
are much easier to remember than the Cube and can
be done quickly.
Best
of all, it gives you insight into the girl you are
talking to. One time I had a girl answer the beach
question by saying I would run and hide!
Needless to say I didnt spend much more time
trying for her.
To
lead into these is quite simple. Just say your friend
showed you a really cool personality test, or that
you always ask people this instead of exchanging resumes
first.
The
Magic Questions
Here
they are, ask them in this order:
- 1.
Visualize yourself in a white room. Youre
in a bed and everything is white. How do you feel?
- 2.
What is your favorite animal? What qualities
do you see it as having?
- 3.
What is your favorite color? How does it make
you feel when you think about it?
- 4.
Imagine yourself on a beach. Nobody is around
and the ocean is right in front of you. What do
you do?
What
Their Answers Mean
- 1.
This is how they view death and dying.
- 2.
This is how their friends view them.
- 3.
This is how they view themselves.
- 4.
This is how they view sex.

Hypnosis
May Cure a Type of Baldness
Source:
Times
of India
People
with a patchy form of hair loss called alopecia areata
might be helped with hypnosis, a preliminary study suggests.
"Hypnotherapy
may enhance the mental well-being of patients with alopecia
areata and it may improve clinical outcome," Dr Ria
Willemsen, of Free University in Brussels, and colleagues
write in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.
Alopecia
areata is an auto-immune disease characterised by sudden,
recurrent hair loss in round spots from the scalp or any
part of the body that has hair.
Psychological
factors, such as stressful events and psychotrauma have
also been reported to play a role in the onset of the
condition, but few studies have looked at the efficacy
of psychological treatments.
Willemsen's
team explored hypnosis as a treatment for 21 individuals
with extensive hair loss on 30% or more of their scalp
that had lasted for at least three months.
These
patients, all of whom previously failed to respond to
treatment with steroids, were followed for anywhere from
six months to six years.
In
most cases, the study participants received hypnosis along
with some other medical treatment. During the hypnotherapy
sessions, which took place once every three weeks, study
participants were given various suggestions, such as to
imagine healing effects of the sun's warmth.
After
treatment with a minimum of just three to four sessions
of hypnotherapy, 12 patients experienced hair growth on
at least 75% of their scalp, and nine of these 12 experienced
total hair growth, Willemsen and colleagues report.
None
of the patients reported any negative side effects due
to the hypnotherapy. Yet, five study participants experienced
a significant relapse during the follow-up period, four
of whom experienced enough hair loss to return them to
their pre-treatment status, the researchers note.
In
other findings, all of the patients for whom the pertinent
data was analysed scored lower on a measure of psychological
symptoms, including phobia, hostility and interpersonal
sensitivity, after their hypnotherapy treatment.
They
also scored lower on items that specifically looked at
symptoms of anxiety and depression, study findings indicate.
In
the past, researchers have shown that the hypnotic suggestion
to improve blood flow in the scalp was linked to an actual
increase in blood flow and skin temperature of the scalp.
The
Straight Truth About Hypnosis
By
Kent Sayre
Kent
Sayre Hypnosis MP3
Here's
how hypnosis works. With hypnosis, you have a relaxed,
focused awareness. When you're in this relaxed state,
you're mind can accept suggestions. These suggestions
go directly into your mind and take hold so that your
thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes are permanently changed.
All action comes from someone's thoughts. When you think
differently, you'll behave differently...and get the results
that you want.
There
are a lot of myths about hypnosis that I'm going to blow
apart right here.
Myth
#1: You lose consciousness in hypnosis
Wrong,
wrong, and wrong. Hypnosis is a state of relaxation where
you're always aware of what's going on around you. You
have full control over whether you accept or reject a
suggestion. In fact, you can come out of hypnosis any
time...if you wanted to.
Myth
#2: Hypnotized people act crazy
The
people who believe this most likely have seen a stage
hypnosis show. Stage hypnosis is an extreme form of hypnosis...and
it's meant to entertain. On my hypnosis programs, the
hypnosis is designed to permanently change your life for
the better. What this means to you is that you won't do
anything you wouldn't normally do. Sorry, no clucking
like a chicken for you!
Myth
#3: You're "under" my power
Nothing
could be further from the truth. You cannot be hypnotized
against your will. Nobody can be hypnotized to do anything
they wouldn't normally do. If I could (I can't) put people
under my power, I would go up to the prisons and hypnotize
all the inmates to become model citizens.
Myth
#4: People reveal their deepest, darkest secrets in hypnosis
No,
no, and no. You won't do anything in hypnosis that you
wouldn't normally do outside of hypnosis. Your secrets
stay locked in the vault.
Myth
#5: People get stuck in hypnosis
Nobody
can get stuck in hypnosis. Your mind always functions
in your best interests. If you're deep in hypnosis and
one of my audio program ends, you'd simply fall asleep
or realize that there no one was speaking and your mind
would bring you back to conscious awareness.
Myth
#6: Not everyone can be hypnotized
Everyone
can be hypnotized. Some people do it easier from the start
and other people have to practice relaxing a few times
before it becomes very easy for them. No matter who you
are, you can be hypnotized. In fact, most people don't
even think they are hypnotized during a session. However,
after the session, they later report noticing positive
changes in their lives.
