Hypnosis Myths
Exploded
OVER the years,
hypnosis has picked
up all sorts of
weird associations
from stage
hypnotists, the
media and
superstition. This
is a great shame,
because in reality,
hypnosis is your
single most
effective tool for
change. Hypnosis is
your birthright, and
you should know how
to use it so it
doesn't use you.
Here we dispel the
biggest hypnosis
myths.
Hypnosis Myth
1) All hypnosis
is the same
As with anything,
hypnosis can be
good, bad or
indifferent. The
most common is
old-style
authoritarian
hypnosis of the type
"You are
getting sleepy, you
are feeling
confident".
Unsurprisingly, this
sort of hypnosis
doesn't work well
with many people.
Good hypnosis uses
subtle psychological
principles and
advanced
communication
patterns.
It's like the
difference between a
football coach who
thinks you'll
perform best if he
yells at you,
compared with the
more elegant style
of a great leader
who knows that to
get the best from
his people, he needs
to understand
motivation, to
cajole, encourage
and reward.

2) Subliminals
work
Subliminals are
words that you can't
hear. Common sense
says they shouldn't
work, and there's no
research proving
that they do.
Hypnosis Myth
3) Some people
can't be hypnotized
The only reason
you can't be
hypnotized is if you
are incapable of
paying attention due
to extremely low IQ
or brain damage.
That's not to say
that every hypnotist
can hypnotize you
however. The more
flexible the
hypnotist, the more
effective she will
be with the largest
number of people.

4) Hypnosis is
something weird that
other people do to
you
If you couldn't
go into hypnosis,
you wouldn't be able
to sleep, to learn,
or get nervous
through 'negative
self hypnosis'. (You
know when you
imagine things going
wrong and it makes
you feel anxious?
Well that's self
hypnosis!)
Hypnosis is
simply a deliberate
utilization of the
REM (Rapid Eye
Movement) or dream
state. We're not
giving people
medication here - if
it wasn't a natural
ability, hypnosis
wouldn't work!
Hypnosis Myth
5) You lose
control in hypnosis
Crazy news
stories, stage
hypnotists and
gossip have created
the illusion that
you lose control in
hypnosis. In fact,
when hypnotized, you
are relaxed and
focused - and able
to choose to get up
and walk away at any
time. You choose to
give your attention
to the hypnotist,
and you can withdraw
it at any time.
If you have been
scared of hypnosis
in the past, this
article has
hopefully convinced
you to at least give
it a try. But
remember, ensure
what you're getting
is the real thing.
