Hypnosis Facts and Myths
June 11, 2009
Almost everyone has seen or heard of hypnotism. A hypnotist will rhythmically swing a watch or pendant in front of a person’s eyes to place them in a deep trance and give one more subconscious suggestions. But just how much do you really understand about hypnotism? Would you ever be inclined to try it?
There are several ways to hypnotize an individual, and hypnotism itself is used for different purposes.
Perhaps the biggest myth or cliché associated with hypnosis is the idea that the hypnotist can make someone think they’re an animal, like a monkey or a chicken. While a hypnotized individual may act like an animal, the suggestion is not powerful enough to make someone actually believe they are the animal.
Hypnosis is most often used as a healing technique. Someone who has suffered a great mental shock can be hypnotized to help them work through their fears.
Take, for example, a person who has been bitten by a dog. This experience may lead the individual to fear future dog bites, but a skilled hypnotist can implant the suggestion that dogs are kind animals, thereby allaying future fears.
Hypnosis can also be used to help recall memories. The information is still in the brain, even if you can’t remember it clearly. In a hypnotic state, a patient can be guided by a trained hypnotist to remembering the smallest details of an event, even if they may initially seem fuzzy or unimportant.
Hypnotism has also been used to help heal those who are mentally ill. In a hypnotic trance, a patient can uncover the underlying problem with the help of a professional, and the hypnotist can help correct the matter.
The biggest mystery surrounding the topic is mass hypnosis. A hypnotist must possess incredible skill to hypnotize a large group of people. A common element of mass hypnosis is music or dance, which allows the hypnotist to place groups of people into a trance.
It can be a very difficult task to accomplish. Mass hypnosis is usually used in religious settings, where a firm belief that connects the entire group already exists.
