I asked my dad about it and he said that first you have too know lots of forms of meditating. And that the person your hypnotizing has to WANT to be. Too bad. xp

I've never really studied it that much, but I've read bits and pieces about it. Basically what happens is someone enters a trance state and becomes very responsive to suggestions. Most of the time it's used to get into the subconsious mind.

There's a book called "Through The Open Door" that talks about self-hypnosis. You could try seeing if your public library has it.

Last year for our end of the state standardised testing reward my school booked a hypnotist and i got hypnotised and it was really weird. The flashy thing they allwyas use in the movies and such is jsut to get your concentration. When you are in that state you jsut KNOW that everything the hypnotist says is true which if you allow yourself to get hypnotised and the person is not a good person can be bad, but like someone allready siad if you tell yourself I can not get hypnotised you wont be because you have to allow yourself to go into that state.

From what I know, its actually pretty simple: when your hypnotised they relax your mind completely, and you are open to suggestion. So you will believe anything they tell you. I read that in a psychology book.

Yes, yes... I have a lady in my reiki group who is currently studying to become a hypnotist and she told me that the entire principle behind hypnotism was the power of suggustion. 3nodding

lots of people say things like "o hypnosis isnt real" yada yada yada. But in fact, its more just a state of mind. Ever space out while watching TV, listening to the radio, or even in class. Well congrats, you underwent o form of hypnosis. Yes, a person does have to want to be hypnotised for it to work since you are not really forceing them to do anything. They in fact go into a deep relaxtion and are mostly aware of what they are doing at the time, just too relaxed to care. However, generally when they come to, it does tend to take some time for them to recall the events.

thats about the basics that i know off hand, but its pretty simple to look up, and not that hard to learn

My school once booked a hypnotist and I went to see the event with my family. My brother and I were both chosen among serveral other people to be hypnotised. But it didn't work on me and my brother at all. My will was too powerful, mwahahaha! ninja

The hypnotism worked on other subjects though. Basically the hypnotist had us go into a meditative state. Then he tried to use the power of suggestion to make us see, hear, feel, ect. certain images. For example, he tried to have our minds experience seeing very attractive people on a beach. When he asked me if I could see them and I said 'no' he had me leave the stage. xp From that point on I was a part of the audience again. From there he made them do various actions. At one point he made them believe that they were all rock stars, and they played on air guitars and a some of them even jumped off the the stage! 4laugh

After the session was over the hypnotist asked all of them how long they though they had been hypnotized. Although the answers were varied most of them believed they had been hypnotized for a short period of time when actually they had been hypnotized for well over half an hour. This showed how you lose a sense of time when you are hypnotized.

Hmmm, semi-dead topic, however the only form of hypnosis that I know would probably work on me is instant hypnosis. When people seek hypno therapy many times their minds are too anxious and often times distractive and can distrupt the normal process of counting backwards and relaxing/envisioning, whet you do in instant hypnosis is you push the person back and yell out "sleep!" the mind is being distracted by the sudden loss of balence so the message gets through to your subconious and you fall into a hypnotised state
