There are a lot of shock inductions around at the moment. From grabbing peoples hands and pulling their arm out of the socket to waving your fingers in front of them and yanking their arm and yelling sleep at them.Shock inductions are fast, dramatic and they work with hypnotiseable people, or hypnotees. But then anything works with them ;-)So why does a shock create an opening for hypnosis?When

Hypnosis as an aphrodisiac or a way of making role play simply awesome is free, safe and most definitely available when ever you are ready to play, and the batteries are included!Okay so we know hypnosis can be used to help us stop doing things and to help repair things that don’t work properly such as our memory. We also know that it can be used to unleash our imaginations and to entertain, but

On stage or for that matter off it, hypnotism sometimes opens doors in peoples minds that are not appropriate for the time or place when they are introduced to the state. Unless the hypnotist is a complete donkey this shouldn't happen. ;-)The trick is to ensure you don't ever see the problem states others do.During the intensifying stage use these."You won't go anywhere I don't tell you to go or

Life is for experiencing. 8-)Self suggestion and or affirmations do work. The trick is not getting hung up on the semantics and actual words.Language is a therapeutic obsession you should not worry about, your subconscious doesn't use it at all.Your mind thinks in pictures, feelings, emotions. When and if you get your language based logical brain to follow suit you get harmony.Desires should not

So this sixteen year old kid from New Zealand who hypnotises Streets - no sorry hypnotises in the street, gets in touch and demands an interview. - Scary...So I, and loads of other egotists operating under the guise of hypnotists, complied.

I was recently in a discussion about the ethics of testing hypnosis and adding some fun to the process when dealing with change.I think whether to test and experiment and convince the hypnotee with a stiff arm or by sticking their hand to their head is a question of style more than ethics.Personally I always amuse and entertain my clients and students. Dopamine seems to work very well in

Preparing for a whole weeks training is not much different from a show. Except of course that the audience is smaller and that it is a little more captive. If you are an entertrainer though the point is important - creating fourteen new hypnotists - but so is the delivery and the buzz that a good gig gives you.I've been training now for nearly eight years, just two off a decade and have yet to

Today I was invited to the membership of FESH by my good friend Ken Webster. Possibly the oldest Hypnosis organisation in the world, certainly the oldest and most revered STAGE HYPNOSIS group - it's an honour.

Apparently an American stage hypno is being sued for causing harm after a guy threw a wobbly and ran off stage.The comments I've seen from the hypnosis world are that the hypnotist is the victim of ambulance chasing because hypnosis is harmless.The fact is hypnosis restructures the subconscious mind. The other fact is that the subconscious doesn't know good from bad. Otherwise no one would ever

Suggestion and association are two skills of the hypnotist that can easily transpose themselves to being used in other than hypnotic circumstances.Obviously negotiating and selling can do nothing but benefit from a little psychological direction but what about the games we play with each others minds when we are playing games? Especially real grown up games like golf and especially poker.Although

Suggestion is all it is.Whether it's NLP Hypnosis EFT Chinosis Symbolism, the bedrock of everything is suggestion.Suggestion in psychology is the process of inducing a thought, sensation, or action in a receptive person without using persuasion and without giving rise to reflection in the recipient. I think that explains pretty much what has been happening with hypnosis and all it's off shoots

I've often been asked about how to use hypnosis surreptitiously or without the targets knowledge.Phew, what a question. :-)Okay goes like this...Just do it.Don't expect full blown trance where every suggestion is accepted for ever until you turn it off.

It was a particularly wet and dismal October in 1989. The back street next to the Theatre Royal stage door in Stoke on Trent was packed with late afternoon shoppers when we arrived so we had to cart our props and equipment nearly the length of the block in rain that was doing a bloody good Niagra impersonation.Set up that afternoon was a confidence builder like no other.

Hypnosis is a fast and fun way of increasing and developing any skill or atribute, be that something personal or for buisness or professional life. From individual performance excellence to team building hypnosis isn't just about healing and therapy.I recently read that although hypnosis would be the best tool to use to build confidence and reduce nerves when having to give a talk or presentation

There's a school of thought that the only way to deal with our emotional patterns and beliefs now is to find the cause and deal with that or change it. If you don't then you are just platering a Band-aid over the cut.Great! Lets do just that - it works...Einstein proved without doubt that we can't go back in time.

Stop pain no, but it can change the way you react to it and take away it's overwhelming control of you.Pain is an alarm. Like that annoying car alarm in the street you can learn to put it in the background once you've checked it isn't your car. If it is your car and no one is trying to break in, then you can turn it off.In hypnosis we can't stop the alarm being set off, that would be silly anyway

No.Hypnosis can remove limiting beliefs and ensure natural and learned abilities can be used with accuracy and consistency but whatever that thing is called talent, then you'll need that to be 'brilliant'.I was once asked if I could make someone play guitar like Brian May, and of course we can help someone believe that is what they are doing, but in actuality Mr May got there first.

Most of the major religions are based on a form of belief in reincarnation or life after death, either of a physical or spiritual nature.It could be possible that when in a hypnotic mood or state we can tap memories hidden from us in our current incarnation, or it may be that a channel of some kind is opened allowing us to 'see' into some kind of universal conscious, or perhaps we become

Anything.Name a human emotional or even physical condition and chances are that someone somewhere has used hypnosis to alleviate or change it.Stress, the effects of trauma, both physical and emotional pain such as in childbirth, motivation, memory, breast and penis enlargement, health control and even time travel in the form of past life regression - are just a few that spring to mind.Even if

Hypnotherapy describes, at least it should, hypnosis being used to dislodge ills. This constricts people using the title to look at just about everything as illness. I prefer the term hypnotist as this has no such limitations.More and more however hypnotherapy describes psychotherapy and psycho-analysis that sometimes doesn't even use hypnosis but the prefix looks good on the letterhead.Such

Errrrrrm, it's hypnosis demonstrated on stage as entertainingly as possible. The phrase 'dumb question' springs to mind.Hypnosis is hypnosis, stage is just a place. We don't say office hypnosis or living room hypnosis or swimming pool hypnosis.Stage hypnosis is usually most peoples first contact with the possibilities that our psyche gives us. Done well it releases restricted imaginative talents

Against your will would mean against your deliberation. In that case yes, you can. A hypnotist has to be able to change your 'will'. If not your behaviour would not change.You can be hypnotised without your knowledge and consent which is what I think this question really means. That happens all the time. If it didn't you wouldn't have any beliefs or desires or emotional responses and you wouldn't

No. At least not in the same way or as intensely as can a hypnotist.Although repetition of self suggestion can and does work over time, and relaxing deliberately is nice this is not the same as hypnosis.As hypnosis requires your conscious to be by passed then it should be obvious that this is not happening if you are directing your hypnosis using you conscious. And if you didn't use the conscious

In accepted understanding the word describes a profound change in both psychological attention and physiological condition.In plainer language your conscious drifts off somewhere and certain predictable and observable changes happen to your body. Often, although by no means always, including relaxation.The thing to remember is that this is an induced state brought on as a reaction to suggestion.

Of course you can, if the hypnotist tells you to. If you can do that without direction then you are not hypnotised.The fact is that this myth - which has grown from unsuccessful hypnosis replacing the real thing - wouldn't have been much use to the early hypnotists like James Braid who performed several thousand operations using hypnosis as the anaesthetic. Just imagine someone being able to walk

Is a scalpel dangerous in the hands of a surgeon? Hopefully no, because they recognize and understand what it is they are holding and take responsibility for its use. Hypnosis is no different.The state is not of itself harmful. That is just being hypnotised will not harm you, but to be hypnotised requires a hypnotist and with that comes responsibility.To declare that we can eradicate a phobia for

You are.Everyone uses Hypnosis and everyone becomes a Hypnotic subject at some time in their life. Parents, teachers and significant others all instill subconscious belief patterns either by direct subconscious communication or by repetition but always bypassing the critical logical conscious and delivering suggestion direct to the psyche. Everyone learns using this process.However some people

Very simply. No I don't mean that your mind is simple but the way hypnosis works is.It's direct communication with the illogical subconscious mind or more accurately the psyche, the seat of our desires, dreams, imagination, emotions, while bypassing the bit of us that we actually think we control - our logical conscious.When we communicate with the psyche, we can change the way it patterns the

Yes. But not at all like the usual explanations you are likely to read elsewhere. Hypnosis happens 'naturally' when we are in a state where logic goes flying through the window. Those times when afterwards you find yourself thinking 'Why did I say that?' and 'What the hell was I thinking of?'Such times are usually emotive, when you are scared, angry, or even head over heels in love or when we are

To hopefully clarify a term that has come to describe an ever more complex and cumbersome tool of the psychotherapist....Hypnosis is the art of producing changes in our mental patterning by the use of a sometimes deliberate act of communication and influence of the human emotional and belief patterning system achieved by reducing and / or redirecting the attention of the logical conscious process

As well as being able to hit top form on a consistent basis and maintain focus and energy, one of the most important assets for a sports performer is how long it takes to rest and recuperate between performances or even between exertions during a game or event.
