What is Hypnosis?
For anyone concerned that this is a report designed to teach readers how to convince crowds of people to act like chickens or dance to an unheard song just with a carefully placed keyword - relax. While hypnosis is often paraded in that form with big crowds visiting celebrity hypnosis experts to find what wonders they can perform, the majority of hypnosis used is to aid people seeking a solution to a problem they cannot resolve easily with any other method.
What Hypnosis is NOT
like many issues that have turned popularized by celebrity, there are a few misconceptions about self hypnosis that are good to clear up at the start. Before we look at what self hypnosis IS, let’s look at what it is NOT
Self hypnosis doesn’t mean you are allowing someone to control your brain with a soundtrack. No one is able to control our minds. What it does do is help us solve our own problems and answer our own questions. Trust your own strength and superpower and know your brain isn’t going to let just anyone take over!
Hypnosis isn’t sleeping. While you move in and out of a hypnotic state as you fall asleep or wake up, hypnosis is that time between wakefulness and sleeping. That lovely relaxed state that drifts you between conscious and unconscious thought. You could occasionally fall asleep during or after a meditation, but that is because you relax. Falling asleep during hypnosis often indicates the level of stress you are under - that you are having trouble relaxing on a protracted term basis, and the hypnosis-induced sleep is simply your body telling you that you are sleep-deprived and need to game-up on sleep.
Hypnosis doesn’t make the bad issues go away. If you’ve been heavily hurt or abused it won’t make the memories go away. What it can do is rearrange your filing console a little. It can put the bad thought patterns and memories in a set where they don’t pop out every time you open your brain’s storage cupboard. Instead it parks it somewhere at the back of the highest shelf and puts the good thinking in the shelves within easy reach. It’s a little like the way your mother could have put the cookie jar at the top of the fridge when you were a kid - you just couldn’t get to it unless you put a pile of effort into it. The best thing about hypnosis is the cookie jar could have some mouldy old bread in it, but the hypnosis puts some sweet and tasty.
