Its like when im dreaming, i have no control over my body and alot of the times, i see in third person. How would i be able to gain control so i can actually check the reality of the dream. Or, if anyone has a great way to hypnotize yourself or has a good technique into having lucid dreams, post here pleeeeaase.

Many people are curious about hypnosis and wonder will “hypnosis” work for them?  There are too many references to hypnosis in dictionaries, encyclopedias, articles, books or on the internet to do them justice in one short article.  That said, my aim here is to cut through hyperbole and get straight to the point.  I want, in just a few short paragraphs, to remove the all too popular myths and misconceptions regarding the natural and normal state of hypnosis and instead to show you not only what hypnosis really is, but how it is in fact ESSENTIAL in our lives.

I can hear you mind fighting against my assertion that hypnosis is normal and natural.  What, you ask, is normal and natural about somebody else clicking their fingers, “knocking you out” and making you cluck like a chicken or, worse still, run around naked and make a fool of yourself?……My response?….steady on there, what made you think that’s what happens?  Where did you get these assumptions from?  What makes you so sure this is what hypnosis is all about?  You see, most people are a little nervous about hypnosis, they are afraid they might lose control, BUT, at the same time, they would like IT to work for them! 

If you want hypnosis to be of benefit to you, if you want it to work for you, I ask simply that you keep an open mind here and let us look at hypnosis with fresh eyes (and reference to proven scientific research).

You go to sleep every night and gradually pass through different levels of relaxation/alertness as you do so.  As you sleep, you access different states in a cycle throughout the night.  Much has been written about these cycles and I do not need to go into them in any depth for the purpose of this brief guide.  All that you need to accept is that scientific research has proven, beyond doubt,  that your brain waves alter as you drift off to sleep and continue to alter during the period of sleep. 

The brain waves associated with normal waking consciousness are beta waves, whilst alpha waves are produced when you are in a state of waking relaxation but with your eyes closed.  The alpha state is the dream like state between wake and sleep.  As you dream each night (during REM sleep) your brain shows a theta wave pattern.  Theta waves also occur during active motor behaviors, such as running. In fact, athletes, musicians and artists produce increased alpha-theta brainwave patterns.

Time to pause for a moment and check that you are happy to agree that this is all normal and natural “stuff”.  You do accept that science has proven that as you pass from a waking state to a sleep state your brain wave patterns alter?  And that waking, relaxing and sleeping are indeed normal? 

When in hypnosis your brain wave patterns also change to a predominantly alpha, alpha-theta and theta state, alpha waves being associated with a light hypnotic state and theta with a more profound state.  These are NATURAL states.  In learning to use hypnosis you learn to induce these states at will.  Why, you ask, might you wish to do this?

Firstly, in a world where “Stress” would appear all too frequently to be the order of the day, to be able to relax at will is an ESSENTIAL ability. The theta state could be described as one of tranquility, creativity and very deep relaxation, and the emotional sensations experienced include restful alertness, daydreaming and deep tranquility. I ask you, who wouldn’t benefit from being able to induce that state at will?

There is a further reason why hypnosis is ESSENTIAL to creating positive change.

It is has been proven that the purpose of the REM (trance) state, which everyone accesses for  approximately 2 hours every night (whilst dreaming), is to allow your brain to modify primitive emotional responses and behaviors.  The REM state is a mechanism which allows your brain to resolve conflicts.  And it has also been proven that one cannot survive very long without this restorative action taking place.  Therefore, whether you are aware of dreaming or not, be assured that you do. 

Hypnosis is the same state – Thus everyone is hypnotizable.  You already use hypnosis every night as you dream.  Hypnosis is natural and normal, so natural in fact that many do not realize that they are hypnotized.

Once in this REM (trance) state, it is easy to alter for the better your instinctive emotional response and behavior, just as your brain does this automatically each night while you dream.  You can literally “rewind” the pattern you are running, just as you can rewind a movie, and then replay it in your mind in a modified manner.  Hypnosis is a perfectly natural way of retraining your mind through positive thought and suggestive techniques and can be used for many life enhancing changes; from aiding better sleep and changing long engrained habits to improving performance and overcoming debilitating phobias – it really can change your life forever.

I want a PRACTICAL method of hypnotizing people. I have seen other similar questions and everyone seems to answer by defining hypnosis!! How do you hypnotize someone else or yourself??????
More practical….how do you do it? I don’t need to know the effects. What methods do people use?

Early Uses Of Hypnosis

Professional athletes are often willing to try almost anything in the hopes of improving their performance. As the world of athletics entered the realm of really big money, anything that could give an athlete even the slightest edge could potentially be worth millions of dollars over the course of a career and many more millions in product sponsorship.

While most people are aware of the physical practice regimes that professional athletes undertake, many are unaware of the importance placed upon mental preparation. It is mental preparation that often separates gifted athletes from successful ones. Over the past several decades there have been many clear illustrations of how mental preparation, and in particular, hypnosis, have been used to successfully improve sports performance. Early Uses Of Hypnosis

Scientists in the former Soviet Union realized many years ago that hypnosis was an effective tool for enhancing sports performance. In the early 1950′s, Soviet sports teams made extensive use of visualization and guided imagery techniques under the guidance of Sports Performance Hypnotists. Many Soviet athletes traveled with their own personal hypnotist and the results were evident in the 1956 Melbourne Games: Soviets athletes performed at a very high level.

During the 1980 Olympic Games, 60% of the Australian swimming team used hypnosis techniques in their training. Those athletes who used hypnosis performed significantly better than their team members who relied on practice alone. The Michael Jordan led Chicago Bulls conducted daily self-hypnosis sessions to empower themselves to play basketball at a high level and perform better as a team. The Bulls won 6 NBA Championships during the 1990′s no doubt aided by their use of hypnosis and other mind power techniques.

Professional golfers are known to pride themselves on their mental training and preparation. Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, and many other golfers consistently use mental techniques to improve their performance. Tiger Woods has employed a Sports Performance Hypnotist since he was just 13 years old. He often makes comments about trusting his subconscious or following his inner mind and his performance on the golf course speaks for itself. Early Uses Of Hypnosis

For years and years men have dreamed of being able to hypnotize women. If only you could do so to watch the football game, get her to let you buy the big screen television, or do things for you in bed. So the question at hand is whether or not it is possible to truly hypnotize women.

Through hypnosis, you technically can influence the behavior of others and lead them in a particular direction. You can do this in a way that they would normally resist. In general, it is a tool that increases suggestibility. In addition, persuasion does take place with this concept. However, it is important you understand that persuasion actually takes place with or without a formal hypnosis process as well.

In order to hypnotize women, there must be a strong bond of rapport between you and the woman. The main way rapport is developed is by the essential paradox of the persuasion equation. What this means is that a persuasive person must focus on the hopes, dreams and fears of the other person.

There is no denying the fact that hypnotists can make you feel as if you are the only person in the room. It is because they truly know how to connect with you and make you feel completely relaxed and comfortable.

There are verbal and non-verbal hypnotic techniques that you can learn in order to increase your persuasion. If you are going to hypnotize women, it is going to be through the power of persuasion. You need to learn how to get your message across to them in a persuasive manner. The only way you can do this is if you have rapport with them and actually understand them.

Think of it more like connecting with the woman and taking the time to listen to her. You want to know that she can trust you and feel comfortable with you. If she feels relaxed, you can then begin to use persuasion hypnosis. This is precisely when you can guide them in a particular direction that you want them to go.

If you’ve even the slightest interest in the personal development movement, no doubt that at one time or another you’ve taken a look at the incredible selection of hypnosis downloads obtainable on the internet. The span is truly staggering with many hypnosis companies each producing hundreds of their own brands of downloads, usually in the MP3 format. However the question at this moment isn’t one of availability, it’s simply do hypnosis downloads actually work?

To answer that question we need to first take at least a brief glance at what hypnosis really is itself. Hypnosis is typically thought of as a mental state induced by a set of instructions and suggestions. Once upon a time people used to debate whether hypnosis itself worked or not but in more recent years the might of scientific research and studies have fallen firmly on the side of hypnosis being a legitimate form of complementary medicine.

Hypnosis shouldn’t necessarily be thought of as a direct cure. Instead it is actually a tool to get the mind focused on with a precise target or goal. That is why hypnosis is so helpful for people who wish to exercise more and lose weight. It’s not that pounds will magically melt off someone who has used hypnosis, what will happen is the person will develop a strong desire to eat healthy food and exercise more often.

Moving back to hypnosis downloads the question now becomes, does this translate over to an audio recording? Well thankfully it does. I can say with conviction that hypnosis downloads do work. Otherwise there wouldn’t be as many flourishing hypnosis brands with plenty of positive testimonials.

A well trained hypnotherapist is able to produce a download which works just as well as one of their personal sessions. The key though is the capability of the hypnotist. Prior to purchasing a hypnosis download from any company you should always look for a bio or an “about us” section with data on the hypnotist who has created the products. Have they been professionally trained? How long have they been a hypnotherapist for? These are all questions that need to be answered before you spend your hard-earned money.

Interestingly enough many individuals have found hypnosis downloads to work better for them than personal sessions. This may be for a number of different reasons. Firstly, with an audio file, you can play it at your leisure whenever you want and for as many times as you want. Compare this with visiting a hypnotherapist where you shell out for one session and have a scheduled appointment time in which you experience the benefits of hypnosis only once. Also you need to consider the expense. A digital file may only cost between ten to thirty dollars which is ten times less than most hypnotherapists charge for sessions in person. It’s difficult to unwind into a session of hypnotherapy when you are thinking about the damage done to your bank account.

Hypnosis doesn’t always work for everyone. But the same can be said for most any kind of medicine. By doing your research though you can make sure of purchasing the right product from the best brand for you. Now that we’ve confirmed that hypnosis downloads do work, there is nothing to stop you.

I wish you every success.

Has anyone out there tried hypnosis for weight loss? Does it work or is it a hoax?
