We have all enjoyed a good story about the ‘dark side of Hypnosis’, a suspenseful tale of assassination, murder, love gone wrong or revenge. These are common entertainments in the world of tall tales we thrive within.

The ‘dark side of Hypnosis’ is a common theme among books, movies and television, but is there truly a ‘dark side’ of Hypnosis? In a way there is, however the ‘dark side’ of Hypnosis is much more common and mundane than the entertainment industry would lead you to believe.

What Hypnosis is NOT!

By Covert Hypnotist | March 15, 2008

What Hypnosis is notWe live in a world today that is full of perceptions, deceptions and misconceptions; it is often hard to tell one from the other when learning about new things.

Hypnosis is no stranger to an incredible amount of misconceptions, which is why it is important to really understand what those misconceptions are before assuming you can or cannot accomplish an objective through Hypnosis. To really understand what Hypnosis, or anything for that matter, is you must first understand all that it is not.

Once you know what Hypnosis is not, everything you are left with is what Hypnosis is.

Hypnosis has been given many false pretenses through the media, movies and just plain rumor. Hypnosis is not the ability to have complete domination over one’s mind, nor is it domination over another human being.

Another thing Hypnosis is not is the ability to dominate another’s will. In a nutshell there is nothing about Hypnosis that will lead you to complete domination of the world or human kind, so if this is your intention you should stop here and embark on a new path.

The misconceptions that surround Hypnosis can seem almost endless, which can often be the case when you consider any type of work that is associated with power over one’s mind, thoughts, ideas and actions. Read the rest of this entry »

While Hypnosis is not a word we hear everyday, it is a word that many people seem to have a preconceived definition for. The most common thought is that Hypnosis is an altered state of mind that brings the subject to a trance-like state.

The rest of the definition not quite as well known is that the subject is vulnerable to suggestions in order to change his/her life. When combined, this is a correct assumption and a rather accurate description.

However Hypnosis entails more than just the trance-like state you see depicted in many movies and television shows, it is a deep and complicated relationship held between the hypnotist and the subject that comes complete with a desired set of goals to achieve.

Hypnosis is an altered state of mind. When a subject is under Hypnosis, he/she is much more responsive. As he/she experiences his/her inner world the subject’s thoughts and ideas become more vivid and actionable through the art of suggestion and language. Read the rest of this entry »
