FAQ
about Hypnosis
Is Hypnosis Dangerous?
Many, many doctors and psychologists state that there are no
dangers involved with hypnosis-- only in being ignorant of it.
Dr. David Cheek, M.D., a noted authority
writes:
"We
can do more harm with ignorance of hypnotism than we could ever do by using
hypnosis and suggestion constructively"
Dr. William S. Kroger, author of
"Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis," states:
"Platonof,
an associate of Pavlov, who used hypnosis over fifty years on over
fifty-thousand cases, reports as follows: 'We have never observed any harmful
influences on the patient which could be ascribed to the method of
hypno-suggestion therapy, or a tendency toward the development of unstable
personality, weakening of the will, or pathological urge for hypnosis."
As stated in "The Psychology of
Mental Health," Dr. Louie P. Thorpe, Professor Emeritus, University of
Southern California, writes:
"Hypnotism
is a natural phenomenon, and there are no known deleterious effects from its
use."
Leslie N. LeCron, Psychologist, states:
"As to
self-induction, many thousands have learned it and I have yet to hear a report
of any bad results of its use"
Andre M. Weitzenhoffer, Ph.D., a highly
regarded authority in the field of mind science, writes:
"As
far as it is known today, hypnosis per se is no more dangerous than natural
sleep. There is no evidence that hypnosis in itself weakens the will, damages
the nervous system or in any way adversely affects the physical or mental well
being of individuals.”

What is hypnosis
Hypnosis is an extremely
effective and powerful self-persuasion.
Does hypnosis really work?
Yes. The power of hypnosis is documented
by doctors, dentists and many other leading health professionals. It was
approved as a legitimate medical and dental treatment method by the American
Medical Association in 1958.
What is
a hypnotist?
A hypnotist is a motivational coach and a
stress management consultant. They accomplish this by being a teacher and a
guide. A hypnotist will teach you about your mind relative to how hypnosis
helps and then she or he will guide you to a beautiful state of trance where
you can empower yourself.
Can I learn to hypnotize
myself?
Easily, all it requires is good training.
The truth of the matter is that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. TOP
Is hypnosis mind control?
Hypnosis in not brainwashing.
There are those who think that hypnosis is dangerous because they believe that
a hypnotist can implant false memories into someone's brain or alter someone's
personality somehow.
No one in a court of law has ever been
able to prove that a hypnotized individual did something against their innate
morals and values simply because they were in a hypnotic trance.
When you're hypnotized, YOU have complete
control of your actions, thoughts and feelings.
Is hypnosis guaranteed?
Again, the hypnotist can't make you do
something you don't really want to do. So if you don't really want to quit
smoking, you won't quit. However, hypnosis can improve your odds of success
considerably if and when you're ready to quit. Hypnosis can also make the
transition of a smoker to a non-smoker easier and faster.
Is hypnosis really like what
they show on T.V.?
Yes and no. What you see on stage or in
the movies is entertainment hypnosis. All of the people participating are
volunteers who have agreed to follow the hypnotists’ suggestions. It is an
excellent bet that most of the people on stage are not even hypnotized; they
are just going along with the fun.
Do people really lose control
of their minds?
Absolutely not. A
person can't be forced into a state of trance. What is really interesting is
that medical professionals have determined that when a person is truly in a
deep state of trance, they have greater control of their minds and bodies than
they do in a state of 'normal' or non-hypnotic consciousness. TOP
Can a hypnotist make a person
do something?
Absolutely not. Nor
will a person ever reveal secrets while in a state of trance. So, if you're
thinking of hypnotizing your husband and getting him to tell you his secrets,
forget it.
Is this Past Life
Regression stuff a hoax or what?
There are a number of cases that have
been documented and apparently verified. It has also been shown to be useful in
helping people to effect positive change in their present lives.
Can hypnosis be used medically?
Yes. The astonishing effects of hypnosis
have been documented time and time again by doctors and other health
professionals. However no ethical or professional hypnotist will ever perform
any medically related hypnotic work without proper medical authorization.
Please bear in mind
that hypnosis has been extensively documented to help people with many health,
medical, emotional and motivation situations.
Something to consider...Could
it somehow be harmful if a person did not learn how to use their mind in an
effective and powerful manner?
