What are the benefits of hypnosis: to the individual, family and
society as a whole? And, how can you make hypnosis work for you?
Other than providing a novel, fascinating experience, what can we gain
from hypnosis?
These are some of the queries that comes up in a novice's mind when he/
she enters the exciting world of hypnosis and hypnotherapy.
The answer is simple and straightforward:
Hypnosis can be put into use to improve one's general well being and
functioning so that one feels better both physically and mentally.
Some of the common frequently asked questions on hypnosis (by the
subject to the hypnotherapist) are:




What can hypnosis do to me?


When I am in a trance, can you make me do things that are silly, like
barking like a dog or crying like a baby?


Can you make me do something against my will, like pickpocket someone
or kiss a stranger?


Will I reveal my innermost secrets that I have never revealed to any
one before?


Will I get stuck in one position and never come out of the trance?


Could I harm myself or someone during the trance? All these doubts are
based on the basic distrust that the individual has against hypnosis
and the prevailing myths about hypnosis.

Make Hypnosis Work for You
The fact is that during hypnotic trance, no one can make you act
against your own moral and social values and acceptable patterns of
behavior. That is, unless you want to, you cannot be manipulated
against your will!
It is important to understand that even during deep trance, you remain
conscious and under control. The hypnotist only makes you act
according to the dictum of your own conscious and subconscious. You
can terminate the trance state any time you feel like.
Even if you are left in trance state by the hypnotist or a hypnotic
tape, you would either return to normal wakeful state on your own, or
enter a natural sleep and wake up feeling fresh and energetic. In the
centuries old history of hypnosis there has never been any incident of
an individual remaining 'under hypnotic trance' for prolonged period
of time.
