On the matter of what hypnosis is, how to use hypnosis, whether you can actually learn to hypnotize someone and then make that person do you bidding, whatever that might be, misconceptions proliferate. The same misconceptions that have popularized in horror stories, fictional dramas, movies, and in all aspects of the entertainment media.
So the question is, can you really learn to hypnotize someone so that your bidding is carried out in zombie-like fashion by the unsuspecting object of your hypnosis?
The answer is short and sweet: nope, you can’t learn to hypnotize someone so that you can control them.
Despite what you’ve been led to believe, hypnosis is not a method of mind control. You can’t learn to hypnotize someone against their will. You can’t learn to hypnotize someone and force them to engage in actions that run counter to that person’s code of ethics or morals. Hypnosis is not some mystical “power” generated by the hypnotist that leads to mind control. You can’t learn to hypnotize someone and usurp their will.
We’ve also been told that hypnosis works only on individuals with weak minds and deficient will. Intelligence and will power, in fact, have nothing to do with the ability to enter a hypnotic state. Anyone can reach the hypnotic state through using self-hypnosis, but the ability to be hypnotized by someone else - by a hypnotist - is dependent on a host of factors, all of them difficult to quantify. Motivation and mind-set play a role, to name a few of those factors. Also, hypnosis doesn’t appear to have much to do with individuals who have vivid or overactive imaginations. Yet these myths have proven difficult to debunk. It bears repeating: no, you can’t learn to hypnotize someone so that they carry out your every command. You can, however, learn to use hypnosis to effect a number of positive psychological benefits for yourself and others.
Hypnosis - the actual induction process - doesn’t have to be lengthy, and contrary to popular belief, it does not require the subject to be completely relaxed. Hypnosis has been defined as “a trancelike state that resembles sleep but is induced by a person whose suggestions are readily accepted by the subject.” It may resemble sleep, but it is not sleep. Some call it a state of relaxed, but heightened, awareness.
Any time answers are sought for phenomena related to the mind and the mental processes, the issues are not easy to delineate. What we do know is that there are many ways in which hypnosis has been and still is used today to treat an array of conditions and issues people struggle with: physical, mental, emotion and social problems. People learn how to use hypnosis to alleviate the symptoms of a great number of disorders. You can learn to hypnotize someone and have a positive effect on their lives. You can learn to hypnotize yourself and enjoy the benefits, too.
Anxiety, obesity, phobias, depression, phobias, fears and habits such as quitting smoking - these are just a few of the conditions hypnosis can treat. It can be used to alleviate the pain associated with cancer and other illnesses. Hypnosis is used in dentistry - this is called hypnodontia - to mitigate anxiety and make patients feel less nervous when dentistry is performed. It can even be used to treat skin diseases - a practice called hypnodermatology. A trained, certified or licensed hypnotherapist can use hypnosis to help people overcome many of their mind-related, habit-rooted challenges and issues.
Hypnosis has also been used in the mental health arena to treat dissociative disorders, post traumatic stress disorder and depression. It can be used to improve memory and increase focus and energy, self-confidence and self-esteem.
Altered states of consciousness such as meditation, relaxation and sleep have been attained through hypnosis. Self-hypnosis with binaural beat audio is used to enlist states that facilitate remote viewing, ESP, astral projection, past life regression and telepathy. Spookily, binaural beats have even been used by “secret” members of the US government to utilize remote viewing tactics.
Hypnosis remains an effective tool that continues to be used in the medical, self-help and medical fields to enable people to live longer, live better, and to enhance their lives. Learning how to properly use hypnosis has enabled many people to enhance the quality of their lives. You can learn to hypnotize someone else and help them to improve their lives, too.
Brain wave entrainment is an area you can look into if you’re interested in learning to achieve altered states easily and to quickly improve your life. Brainwave entrainment uses audio frequencies, known as binaural beats, to reach altered states of consciousness. The binaural beats method can help you achieve almost any state of consciousness rapidly, in about 5-10 minutes. Many use binaural beats for meditation, sleep, ESP, astral projection, remote viewing, telepathy, remote past life regression as well as for losing weight, quitting smoking, increasing confidence and energy, and enhancing healing power. How to use hypnosis to minimize weight problems, anxiety and insomnia is something that anyone can learn to do. It’s a natural, safe method for self-improvement, and that’s a good reason for wanting to learn to hypnotize someone else.
