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.
Hypnosis Downloads.com offers hundreds of sessions using the
best type of hypnosis.
Hypnosis Myth 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.
Hypnosis Myth 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.
