What do you think about hypnosis, have you ever been in a state of hypnosis or trance. And do you believe in all this? Who do you think is the best specialist in the field of hypnosis from now on?

Hypnosis is real, though often over-exaggerated in media. There are personality nuances that make certain people more susceptible, e.g. gullibility, extroversion and superstition.

Hypnosis is just a game, you can playing with this. somepeople can act if they has been get hypnosis by someone and the peiple who see it will believe. hypnosis is just another bullshit entertain.

I have never been hypnotized, but as far as I know Hypnosis works. Sometimes, even entire peoples get kid of hypnotized afrom an idea, an ideology, a religion or a charismatic leader.

We all are hypnotized about 99.99% of the time...

What do you mean exactly?

During hypnosis, a person is said to have heightened focus and concentration. The person can concentrate intensely on a specific thought or memory, while blocking out sources of distraction.[7] Hypnotised subjects are said to show an increased response to suggestions.[8] Hypnosis is usually induced by a procedure known as a hypnotic induction involving a series of preliminary instructions and suggestion. The use of hypnotism for therapeutic purposes is referred to as "hypnotherapy", while its use as a form of entertainment for an audience is known as "stage hypnosis". Stage hypnosis is often performed by mentalists practicing the art form of mentalism.

Hypnosis is a state of human consciousness involving focused attention and reduced peripheral awareness and an enhanced capacity to respond to suggestion. The term may also refer to an art, skill, or act of inducing hypnosis. Theories explaining what occurs during hypnosis fall into two groups. Altered state theories see hypnosis as an altered state of mind or trance, marked by a level of awareness different from the ordinary conscious state

secondly,  People have been pondering and arguing over hypnosis for more than 200 years, but science has yet to fully explain how it actually happens. We see what a person does under hypnosis, but it isn't clear why he or she does it. This puzzle is really a small piece in a much bigger puzzle: how the human mind works. It's unlikely that scientists will arrive at a definitive explanation of the mind in the foreseeable future, so it's a good bet hypnosis will remain something of a mystery as well.

But psychiatrists do understand the general characteristics of hypnosis, and they have some model of how it works. It is a trance state characterized by extreme suggestibility, relaxation and heightened imagination. It's not really like sleep, because the subject is alert the whole time. It is most often compared to daydreaming, or the feeling of "losing yourself" in a book or movie. You are fully conscious, but you tune out most of the stimuli around you

There are people who have been hypnotized before and i believe that it's a real thing. There's science behind it on how minds can be manipulated into believing what other people want you to believe and do.

I believe in hypnosis, although I have never been in this state. Somehow saw the performance of a hypnotist, it was very interesting to see. People under the influence of hypnosis made funny things. ;D

The person who hypnosis you can command anything, and you will comply

This is another of the most common misperceptions, usually related to the misperception of the number 1.so, as if the hypnosis person is mastered, the hypnosis person is powerless to refuse orders, etc. This is not true. do you think, if this perception is true, instead of hypnotic people who may already be on their own private island, while enjoying life? 😀

to be able to enter and be accepted by the subconscious mind, an idea must not be against the values ​​that are in the unconscious. for example, a person who is in a hypnotic state will not accept suggestions if he is suggested to kill his own mother because that is against the values ​​stored in the subconscious mind. but then maybe you think, "but on television, I see people being told all sorts of things and publicly shaming themselves, they can not refuse." I have an answer to arguments like this .

I think it's bullshit :)

people who are not well trained can lead a process in the wrong direction or mistaken it further. It is important  they have certificates that prove the qualified as a therapist . Not everyone can work with hypnosis

I believe in hypnosis, because I have been in hypnosis several times by my own friends who do master hypnotherapy. At that time I was experiencing a strange phobia, so very hampered in my career and business. I ask my friend for his healing, in the second time in hypnosis I experienced a very drastic change, including changes in my career and business.

hypnosis is real, but it only happens if the person ALLOWS the hypnotizer to take control of him/her or to accept the commands

It's kind of weird to me. Some of the cases seems real but some not at all.
Sometime it feels that it's just a drama script.

In therapy, hypnosis usually involves the person experiencing a sense of deep relaxation with their attention narrowed down, and focused on appropriate suggestions made by the therapist. Sometimes it is used to treat mental illnesses.

I have never met people who can introduce themselves to the state of trance. I think shamans or esotericists can do it. and hypnosis is after all when someone is injected intentionally. I wonder what I would say in this state ...

I don't believe, although I would like to participate some experiment. I think people who claim that he/she were in trans state just want to believe it, that's all.

I don't know whether hypnosis is true or not. For me hypnosis is simply a suggestion given by someone to give commands to the victim so that the victim will sure his orders were true

Hypnosis is a state of mind generated by suggestion.

Hypnosis is studied not only by mystics, but also by somnological scientists. Secret knowledge is used by scammers who try to lure money and valuables from a person, they are used by psychologists to correct a patient's personality. Even at home, you can learn hypnosis for beginners.

I do not know anyone who was hypnotized. But human brain is an extremely complicated machine. If it helps to cure diseases, addictions, deviations, why not?

personally, I don't fully believe in the "state of hypnosis or trance", maybe I would get a little sleepy, but I don't think a person can command Me of what He/She wants me to do. I guess it is up to us human beings, whether we let oursleves be tricked by the words of the specialist. If we let ourselves be persuaded by the words of the specialist then We don't have our own will. For me it is mentally impossible to let other people control of Our actions. So for me, I think Hypnosis that can control the humans actions is fake.

Of course, hypnosis is real. There are such methods of psychotherapy. Here it is appropriate, I do not see other worthy applications.

I think this "hypnotherapy" thing was a big misconception and has proven to be ineffective.
Hypnosis is way to induce thoughts and not the other way around.
Basically what the patient is saying are all just thoughts that were consciously or unconsciously induced.
Although it would've been extremely beneficial if hypnotherapy were proven effective.

It's real in what sense? I think all hypnotism is actually hokum and I've seen no decent evidence that any of it is real. At most it's a placebo effect felt by gullible or easily suggestible people. Penn and Teller did an episode on it in their "Bullshit" TV series (which is an apt name for hypnosis). It used to be on youtube but seems to have been removed but I found it on Vimeo and  recommend people watch it (and the other episodes in the series if you can) https://vimeo.com/226521779

Yes i believe in hypnosis, the sister of my friend had been hypnotize, she dont remember anything  and dont know what happen to her, she said that someone talk to her and suddenly she dont what next and when shes on his mind she doesnt know where she is. But shes thankful nothing happen to her.

Hypnosis is real because I've seen it before, more accurately I see it in person. When I was in school, there was a friend who was good at hypnotizing. He often displays his class hypnotism and it is very real. I've had a lot of friends trying to be hypnotized by him and it's always working.

Hypnosis is the bypass of the critical factor of the conscious mind,followed by the establishment of selective acceptable thoughts.Ideas that pass the critical factor on the conscious mind will be accepted by the subconscious mind,if not contrary to the values stored on the subconscious mind.
I never feel in state of hypnosis but I believe about hypnosis because I often see it on television  :)

Hypnosis can help me more relax and focusing. It works better on kids than adults.
I know a boy who is good at some sport, but he is super nervous in competition. After some hypnosis, he can more focus and more energy in the competition. His performance really improved a lot.

Here in the philippines there are this group of people called "budol budol gang" who tries to hypnotist you and get all your money without you noticing it. The best part of this is that you will give the money whole heartedly. So yes i think its real.

I have never been hypnotized by a professional to cure some illnesses but It is pretty obvious that humankind are regularly being hypnotized by some evil forces. These evil forces wants to manipulate crowd of people by hypnotizing them with their guns like media, politicians etc. For that reason, all of us are being hypnotized non-stop.

A hypnotist was once invited over to perform a mass hypnosis. I was in the audience and I was almost put on a trance if it wasn't for my friend, we kept nudging each other. I saw some weird stuff that day. People talking languages they barely know, describing events in their past like it was yesterday. So yeah i believe in that stuff.

I kinda wish I could try it someday. The whole idea seems so crazy, hard to believe it's possible and actually works if done properly.

Not subject to hypnosis and thank God. This affects people who are very receptive and believe in all sorts of miracles. But it would be interesting and try yourself in this state to visit.

I think hypnosis is a kind of a medical strategy used by psychiatrist to put patients in a trance. With this they can probe on long term memory or even probe those deep seated memory. It helps with patients undergoing post traumatic stress and also victims of war. It is helpful but there are some that use it for bad.

What an interesting topic! I've never been hypnotized, but I'd love to. I do not believe in hypnosis. I would like to try!

Hypnosis is the bypass of the critical factor of conscious mind and followed by the establishment of acceptable selective thinking.

I believe it, because hypnosis can be used as an alternative of treatment, for example; people who have insomnia by visiting a therapist who uses hypnosis may be curable.

I do not have much information about hypnosis. I have not been hypnotized before. but I think hypnosis is a different subject. There are a few people who are hypnotized among my friends. I would like to try if possible.

Personally, I was not hypnotized. But still this topic is interesting to me. Very often I like watching TV about this kind of psychological impact on a person and I just can not understand how it works.

Hypnosis is a trancelike state that resembles sleep but is induced by a person whose suggestions are readily accepted.

There is a lot of misunderstanding in the field, and people believe that with hypnosis you can achieve some kind of superpower.
I'm a trained hypnotist, and I can assure that real hypnosis has nothing to do with you can see in movies.
It's a mind state of high suggestibility, and you can access sleeping resources of the mind, but nothing magic.

I just watched a Tedx conference where a hypnotist did a collective hypnosis session to prove that it worked. I'm not really sure though if the participants were actors or not. And some of them didn't get hypnotised at all, so that questions the matter.
I'm not very skeptical of hypnosis. I believe there could be cases where it would work, but not for everyone.

Hypnosis is a branch of psychology that studies the influence of suggestions on the human mind.
hypnotist called "hypnosis" or "hypnotism" derived the word "hypnos", the name of the sleeping god in Ancient Greek mythology.

The word "Hypnosis" was first introduced by James Braid, a prominent English doctor who lived between 1795 and 1860. Before the time of Jame Braid, hypnosis was known as Mesmerism / Magnetism. But it should be understood that the condition of hypnosis is not the same as sleep. The sleeping person is unaware and can not hear voices around him. While the person in the condition of a nasty, although his body rested (like sleeping), he can still hear clearly and respond to the information it receives.Hypnotics has been studied scientifically for more than 200 years. Many experimental and experimental studies try to determine what is the most unique of hypnotists versus other mental phenomena. This uniqueness needs to be understood to formulate an accurate hypnotic definition. But until now, the hypnotic deficits revealed by each character are still different. Everyone agrees that there is something called hypnosis, but different opinions about what is hypnotic.

Same here, I have never been hypnotized  :D but I believe it exists.

I have never been hypnotized. But if it's possible to cure addictions or mental disorders by hypnosis, it must be something like that.

Yes, I have been on a trance. In fact, you and me, all of us have been in a trance at least once in our life.
Trance is a state of mind where is your concentration is deeper than usual.

When you are absorbed in doing something, like playing a game, listening to your beloved music, you enter a trance state.

The state of trance is something that every human experience day by day without even know... because most people think trance is only what they see on TV.

For those of you that want a credible source, here is a lengthy article from one of the best in this domain: https://www.stephengilligan.com/stephens-articales/2017/10/23/ericksonian-approaches-to-clinical-hypnosis

Basically hypnosis is the science of mind. A person who comes for hypnotherapy will be directed to enter a deep relaxation state so that the dominant brain waves will slowly descend into alpha waves then into theta and sometimes delta. After deep relaxation is achieved our attention becomes the focus of one particular thing only.

Never tried it and am not sure if it works or not. I have heard all the stories of creepy hypotnists. Interested to read more about this.

Some at consciounees involving

Hypnotic subjects are said to be increasingly responsive to Suggestions. Hypnosis is usually caused by hypnotic induction procedures, involving a series of preliminary instructions and recommendations.

Do these hypnosis tapes ever work?

I've never been in a state of hypnosis and i don't believe in it. For me it is just a trick

I don't think that hypnosis works. Actually i believe in autosuggestion, maybe this factor is used in so called hypnosis

I believe in hypnosis. I have a friend who requested to be hypnotized so that he would quit smoking, and he did. It is also used in psychology, so.

As far as I could remember I was once hypnotised by a psychriatic for knowing the cause of the depression I was facing from long

No I don't remember any such state of being hypnotised. But I saw it with my own eyes

All I can say is Hypnosis is real and is actually used by Psychologist for their patients. My psychologist actually used this on me. She told me what went down in our session and I was surprised by how did she get all that information from me when I'm not aware of telling her. It's an amazing practice but dangerous when used for the wrong motive.

This, i agree that it's a real thing, but the way it's portrayed in movies and in tv shows is usually wildly fanciful, but then again what isn't lol

I believe in hypnosis, because he uses force in your mind.
hypnosis can be used to do good and do evil depending on the user.
that I know the famous hypnosis cristangel. he is indeed a super hypnosis excessive, besides being unreasonable, his hypnosis is outrageous to me.
out of logic, I trust him to fellowship with the devil.

I think hypnosis isn't good.Few people go on hypnosis.They think it will help them in their lives.It can only be a little to mitigate their pain.Every normal man will not agree to that.Hypnotists take big money.It's better for people to deal with their problems than going to hypnosis and these various things.

during proper hypnosis session, patient is doing most of the job. doctor just creates the atmosphere, patient's brain doing the rest. at least thats the idea) but brain can do a lot of magic tho https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnotherapy but i don't think that real hypnosis that might exist, has something to do with known myths

Actually Hypnosis is a state of normal-natural consciousness and indeed we often experience throughout the day. Have you ever been swept away while watching a very interesting television show or crying when you watched a moving scene? It is one of the normal conditions of hypnosis where our feelings and thoughts are carried away as if they were real. In a hypnotic state, one tends to be more receptive to suggestions whether to change, to experience something, etc.

not evryone is susceptible to it, I wish I was, I would try then 

No never been in such a state, but I want to have such an experience once In my lifetime

Hypnosis a trancelike state, artificially induced, in which a person has a heightened suggestibility, and in which suppressed memories may be experienced

It is also the art or skill of hypnotism

Its real but its not like in movies. Most of us experience a state of hypnosis every day, be it when you drive home with your brain turned off or when you play a videogame for hours without being aware of time. Or when you watch a film without interruption because you are so immerse into it.

If you ever watched a film or documentary from start to end without breaking the flow, you were in a state of hypnosis

Study hypnosis to learn how to avoid being hypnotized against your will... not to use it.

Something very superstitious and people should not trust that.

As what I read from Google the Hypnosis is the induction of a state of consciousness in which a person apparently loses the power of voluntary action and is highly responsive to suggestion or direction. For me it’s not true no one can control us or manipulate us it’s up to us if we easily trust someone like a stranger. So be observant and don’t trust to stranger.

hypnosis is a great thing for an expert to understand all your problems at a subconscious level, many suffer from the fact that they can not remove problems from their heads ... and only a psychiatrist can help you in this .. but it's really scary to imagine, and suddenly he programmed you to do good things)))

I don't know abut hypnosis. But i do know of the brain and it's functions. Our brain controls everything in the body by way of electrical impulses. It's function is to create a homeostatic environment and regulate it. As the brain regultes, we have limiters in our body to prevent us from injuries and creating harm. Such regulation restricts us from doing greater things. Like in emergencies, we can actually lift a fridge, but on a normal day we struggle to get out of bed. I think in hypnosis, we could do it in s tranced state to access everything in our brains amd full potential

I do believe in hypnosis because there are many case that it is commonly used to deceive people here in my country for money. They are a group of people that will divert your attention and will get your trust easily until you aren't aware of what's really happening or what you are doing.
