Does Hypnosis Really Work Or Not

By Michael Corrano


The idea of hypnosis has been quite a controversial one for many years already as many hypnotherapists have been doing it. In fact, many people have been cured of vices and addictions such as smoking, drugs, and drinking because of this. However, the big question that still remains is does hypnosis really work on people.

Now before trying to answer this question, it is very important first to determine what this art really is. Basically, it is a way to suggest some messages into the subconscious brain and have the person execute those commands in the outside. It is actually just like a form of mind control.

Now the two types of hypnosis would be known as the aware and unaware types. If one is aware that he is being hypnotized, then it means that he is allowing the therapist to suggest messages. However, if one is unaware, then it means someone has been planting ideas into his head without him knowing.

Now everyone knows about hypnotists who would wear capes, have long moustaches, and would swing pendulums from left to right in front of a person so that he can be in a hypnotic state. Once that person is already in a trance, then the person will be suggesting some messages to him and then snap him out. When the person has already waken up from the trance, he will follow those commands.

Now if one is familiar with the process of meditation and positive thinking, it is actually similar to that of hypnosis. While hypnotists try to get people to be in a trance, meditation experts would say that people would be in a meditative state where the mind thinks about absolutely nothing. It is for this reason that people who meditate have more positive outlooks in life.

When it comes to the voluntary type, it is actually easier to suggest thoughts into the brain. This is simply because the person is willing to open up his mind and give in to what the hypnotist may suggest. Being an open minded person and also believing in the hypnotist is a big factor as to whether it will work or not.

Now do take note that skeptics will usually not be hypnotized. They will probably be hypnotized only if just a small part of their brains would want to open up to being hypnotized. Then in some sense, they are actually willing to be hypnotized.
