What Hypnosis is Not!

By: Atticus Jackson The world today is full of deceptions, misconceptions, and most importantly perceptions; when learning about new things, it is often hard to tell these apart.

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.

After becoming aware of what hypnosis is not, the only remainder 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.

There are probably endless amounts of misconceptions surrounding hypnosis, but this is usually true and typical of any kind of work associated with having power over other's mind, thoughts, actions, and ideas.

There are all kinds of associations and false ideas that are created when society acknowledges that power accompanies any way of life, this include hypnosis. For example money carries the connotation of power, however unless you are knowledgeable about how to be powerful with money you will fail.

Any eloquent and masterful hypnotists have become so by first wiping celan from the slate any misconceptions about hypnosis.

The most common misconception in the field of hypnosis is that associated with power. Yes it is true that you will own a sort of power over the mind of your subjects, however this is not to say you will be able to control them completely.

The unconscious mind is actually being held in a type of negotiation with the hypnotist, so that those undergoing hypnosis are not controlled but quite the opposite. Your moral and ethical base are stored in your unconscious mind. As a hypnotist you can negotiate with the unconscious, while not ever actually controlling one's morals or ethics.

The ethical code stored by the unconscious cannot be broken, these are the beliefs and moral standards that every person lives their life by.

The complete control over one anotehr is a common myth in hypnosis. A person will only do what they want to do, even if they are in a hypnotic trance. That is why this is a myth.

The common entertainment of stage hypnotists is a good example of this. Audience members will be selected or will volunteer for the hypnotist's act. These volunteers know that they might be asked to do something that they may not be aware of, even if they are embarrassing. On some level they know what the limit is.

However on some level in their minds they are volunteering because they crave the attention that comes from being exhibitionists. The volunteers know they will be controlled by the hypnotist and they are consciously okay with that because it does not cause conflict with their moral code.
