Just What is Hypnosis?

Just what is hypnosis?

And what about this blog? Well, that depends on what I'm going to do with it. If I wase going to fill it up with ads and hope to make money from it, you're mistaken. Blogs like this rarely make any money for their owners. Better to keep them for writing in.

This blog has been rather neglected of late, so its time to put that straight and write something in here. Not that there is a whole lot that I actually intend to write in here about the subject of hypnosis, as I've said pretty much all I'm going to say on the subject in my main website, Hypnosis.

However, that doesn't mean there is nothing to say in this blog, as there actually is. About hypnosis too. You see its such a big subject that peopel are still generally in awe of, that it doesn't hurt to go back over the basics time and time again so that more people will understand it.

Hypnosis for starters is not magic, or occultism, or cultish mind manipulation. That's scaremongering poppycock.

Hypnosis is a natural form of consciousness that everbody enters several times throughout their normal day without them even knowing. Its otherwise known as daydreaming and that is an actual state of hypnosis!

If you don't believe me then go read something that better suits your level of intellect. Otherwise, lets look at the evidence:

Daydreaming is an altered state of consciousness.

Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness.

Daydreaming is where your thoughts are elsewhere and you're not aware of your physical body.

In hypnosis, your thoughts are elsewhere and you're not aware of your physical body.

A daydream may last several minutes, but you don't notice the passing of time.

A hypnotic session may last several minutes, but you don't notice the passing of time.

You can snap out of a daydream at any time if you have to.

You can snap out of hypnosis at any time if you have to.

Daydreaming is not harmful to your mind.

Hypnosis is not harmful to your mind.

Am I getting through? Good. There's the basics right there in black and white for you to see and understand. Just because you don't at first understand something, it doesn't mean its harmful or dangerous or should be labelled paranormal or somesuch.

We still don't fully understand electricity, yet we know that its certainly not paranormal, because we can cook with it, light our way and run our appliances with it. Think about that.
