Few Words About Hypnosis
Hypnosis is ancient skill and it is known to the people from the earliest past. Almost all cultures and societies use this unique technique for different purposes, such as therapy healing treatment, sinister mind control, police investigation or for ordinary entertainment. Regardless of its purpose and goals, hypnosis is still mysteries skill that occupies human minds.
Mind Control
It is obvious the stage hypnosis is the most popular and best known type of this skill, which is usually related to entertainment and fun. However, there are some information and interesting facts about this technique.
For those who are obsessed with conspiracy theories, hypnosis is dangerous and sinister technique for mind control, which can turn every person in the obedient slave. The true masters need just one long lasting direct view in the eyes of the “victim” or an ordinary pocket watch. After a few moments, hypnotized person will do anything.
However, the situation is quite different in reality where hypnosis has been used as a powerful healing treatment; not as a monstrous weapon for the human manipulation and conquering the world.
Although this strange technique is old as the knowledge of the human psyche, we still do not know how it works and what the reasons for its efficiency are. Modern science and medicine, especially psychology, are not capable to give the answers too, which is the reason why they declared this method for illusion and deception.
Expanding The Potentials
If we know that people use just a small part of their brain, approximately 10 percent, hypnosis could be an excellent solution for expanding these limits and for revealing the unknown potentials of the human mind.
As we said, nobody knows how hypnoses really works and what are its main principles, but some people have managed to use it very efficient, mainly as a part of healing therapies and psychiatrics séances.
In brief, hypnosis is very similar to the trance. People who had that experience said they have felt complete mental relaxation- the strange condition followed by the improved imagination and suggestibility.
It is wrong to describe this condition as sleep state. However, it is true those persons are not completely aware of external circumstances.
Self - Hypnosis
It is interesting what experts in this field said about hypnosis. According to Milton Erickson, we are in some kind of mood of the self- hypnosis, but we are often unaware of this condition.
All credits for implementing the hypnosis in the domain of the science goes to the Anton Mesmer, who described the hypnosis as “animal magnetism”- a strange and mystical force.
This initial moment was crucial for establishing the hypnosis as a proven therapy for several diseases and health problems. We now have a number of positive examples of people who were cured with this treatment, regardless they have suffered from the mental of physical problems.
However, official medicine still refuses to adopt this technique as a full member of the medical family. Some think this is only the matter of time and that hypnosis surely will become recognized branch of medicine.
