Hypnosis is SCARY!!! Not.
I was very excited to find a surplus of public domain works on hypnosis. I thought that it would be easy going to create updated blog posts with this information… Then, I started reading what the authors said. (If you are unfamiliar with public domain, it is most easily described as writings that are so old, there is no copyright on them anymore, so one can use them at will.)
All of the information I sifted through was dated from the late 1800’s to the very early 1900’s. (Let me tell you – I am so glad to be living in the era that we are!) People were so skeptical about the “magical mysteries of the mind”, and hypnosis. Doctors used hypnosis on the clinically insane and orphanages to experiment on it’s effectiveness. (These are two groups that either should NOT partake in hypnosis, or it should be done in a different way!) It is very surreal to read everything they said. Hypnosis was considered magical, hocus-pocus, fraudulent, and even dangerous!
In the same breath, it is so refreshing to know that scientists, philosophers, and everyday people have studied and understand the workings of the human mind and our subconscious in the past century. Yes, it is still a mystery to a large degree; but at least now it is a scientific mystery! We now understand that so many, many things are possible through the subconscious (where hypnosis takes place), and it has been scientifically proven. We are now at a place where we know that there is so much more that we need to figure out. It is like a big present has been unwrapped and it just keeps giving and giving!
We have learned so many things from our past. We learned about disease and created vaccines. We learned of behavior and adjusted poor manners to create a polite society. We learned of electricity and now have lights to turn on when it’s dark outside. We learned how to have plumbing, and no longer need to walk to the outhouse.
The question I pose it this… if we have taken the information we have learned from our ancestors and created a better life for ourselves, why have so many of us not learned that the human mind is capable of anything it can conceive? Why are so many people still scared of hypnosis? Exactly WHAT do they think hypnosis will do to them?!
The proven fact is, hypnosis is NOT dangerous! It is a way for a hypnotist to help you guide yourself into a state of mind that will allow you to change the way you view certain topics subconsciously, that will in turn, help you achieve the goal you have been longing to achieve. That is all it is!
So, hypnosis is NOT scary! It is time to let go of thinking from a century ago and live in the present day. Hypnosis can change your life for the better – all you have to do is believe it can… Now, turn your computer off before the government reads your mind…
(Note: Hypnosis should not be done on individuals who are prone to seizures. It is one of those weird things that scientists have not yet figured out. Also, people should not do hypnosis while doing ANYTHING that requires their attention: driving, operating machinery, watching children, while supper is on the stove, etc… Simply do hypnosis while you can relax uninterrupted!)
