Hypnosis - Myths and Reality

Television shows all too often represent a wrong picture about hypnotists and hypnotherapy. Usually hypnotists are characterized in a bad light and they are shown hypnotizing other people into executing actions that are illegal, or not moral in nature.

People in trance are quite often depicted as zombies. This is an improper representation of the capabilities of hypnosis, and in contrast to the way films portray a hypnotized person being in control of the hypnotist, a hypnotized person is actually conscious, attentive, and very much in charge of their will.

Hypnosis can be defined as the ability to manipulate one's subconscious mind. Professionals are still trying to puzzle out the specific activities that manifest in the mind when a person is put under hypnosis, together with the explanations as to why an individual gets hypnotized.

The scientific explanations are missing, but we can always see what a person who is hypnotized does, and the way he or she reacts. The exact reasons as to why the person under hypnosis does what he does offers no medical explanation.

Psychologists have a generic knowledge of hypnosis nature, along with an obscure theory of its working. Hypnosis is regarded as a state experienced by the hypnotized person, in which the individual becomes prone to suggestibility, experiences extreme relaxation, and has his or her creative imagination very excited.

A hypnotized person is always alert when under the hypnotic trance. A better explanation for this, is a state of mind that each person experiences daily, for example when reading a book, or driving a car, or watching a film, and so on.

In above mentioned examples the person is in a conscious state of mind, but becomes irresponsive to every other stimulus the individual is bombarded with. The individual is so intensely preoccupied with ongoing task that every other idea gets negated.

People who are hypnotized feel completely relaxed and neglect their inhibitions. This could be the identical mental state you would be in while you are watching a movie. When watching a movie, it holds your complete awareness, and all of your problems are momentarily ignored. If the movie captures your attention, you enter the mental state of suggestibility, and this particular state makes you susceptible to positive ideas, or plots shown in the movies.

Additionally, hypnotists regularly take advantage of this suggestible nature of these hypnotized subjects to provoke humor. Hypnotized subjects neglect their inhibitions and perform antics which they normally would not have dared to perform.

Such shows organized by hypnotists can be entertaining because of this. There are numerous methods that a hypnotist could use to hypnotize their subject. Amongst the most common methods hypnotists use is the eye fixation method and the progressive relaxation technique.

In the eye fixation method, the stage hypnotist makes the subject to focus on an object in a highly intense way, and enhances the subject's focus with discussion which guides the subject right into a state of extreme relaxation.

In the second approach the hypnotist converses with the person using a reassuring and low tone of voice hence making the person to focus, relax, and become totally hypnotized.

The outcome of hypnosis depends upon the will of the person. Hence, this process could be finished in minutes or it can go beyond 30 mins or even more.
