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.

If one would want to answer this, then he has to know what it is all about. In a nutshell, hypnosis is the art of trying to subliminally put messages into the brains of people. Basically, people who are under these hypnotic spells will perform these subliminal messages sent into them.

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 in the Eastern world, being in a trances also equates to being in a meditative state. There is actually something known as self hypnosis which is actually what many meditation experts do in order to clear their heads and make their lives more positive. Now these meditation experts would actually put themselves in a trance and try to suggest messages to their own brains.

Now the easiest type would be the one wherein the person is actually aware that he is being hypnotized and actually wants it. This means that the person actually wants someone to change how he thinks. Of course it is very important that the person being hypnotized is very open minded and not a skeptic otherwise it might not work.

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.
