Hypnosis 101

As a student of Psychology, I have always been interested in hypnosis. Freud, the father of psychoanalysis seemed to think that hypnosis does not work. Whilst there were others like Milton Ericsson, who had done countless amazing work using hypnosis. Dr James Esdaile, an English surgeon had used hypnosis for anaesthesia. The list goes on..... and I'm intrigued by all the possibilities that hypnosis has to offer. So what is hypnosis?Most of our perception on hypnosis stems from ideas generated from Hollywood. Hypnosis is presented as a very powerful, and mystical craft. Beware! Hypnotist can control your mind, make you cluck like a chicken, bark like a dog and walk around like zombies......uuuuuuuuh eerie.Yes, I would agree that hypnosis is very powerful, but everything else portrayed by Hollywood is far from the truth. Hypnosis is a natural state of mind. We experience hypnosis daily without consciously being aware. When we are focused on something like completing that important project work, day dreaming, watching a very interesting movie or reading an emotionally stirring novel, we are in a state of hypnosis. So can we say that doing the project work, watching the movie and reading the novel is dangerous because it is controlling our mind?Well the answer is yes and no. Yes, in a way our mind is being controlled because we are so involved in the process that our mind is focused on one thing, nothing else matter. And no it is not dangerous, because we can choose to stop doing our project work, day dreaming, watching the movie and reading the novel anytime we want or feel like it. We experienced being hypnotize but we can always choose to reject the ideas from movies that we watched or novels that we read if it is a danger to our well being.Knowing what we know now, I'm confident that we will definitely continue to day dream, watch movies, read novels, complete our project work and so on. And knowing what we know now it would be a loss not to knowingly utilize this tool for making the changes that we want. Hence, I am confident to state that hypnosis is a safe and powerful tool for promoting positve changes."When the imagination and will power are in conflict, are antagonistic, it is always the imagination which wins, without any exception." Emile Coue.

Dear Roslinda, I have been aware of hypnosis, but only knew about Afelin PathFinder's program through the newspaper. My son has been having some behavioural problems for quite a few years. I wanted to resolve it with a different approach. He's so intrigued by it. I find that he is now behaving more rationally, more thoughtful and responsible. He is now able to accept criticisms more openly. He is also less angry and abusive towards his siblings and us (parent). He is more loveable and smarter (his actual inner self) Thank you!- Parent of M.N.H, Singapore.
