I Was Getting Some Unexpected Results

It is important to seek advice from an appropriately qualified medical professional whenever you have any kind of medical issue. The material in this work is for entertainment purposes only, and you may not be entertained. Your use of the material in this work is entirely at your own risk. And where it was cheap enough to do so, I was running the experiments, just to see what happened. I was getting some unexpected results. As a budding scientist, this was fascinating to me. Then I came across the most outrageous experiment of all. Do this one thing, it claimed, and you will be able to experience visual hallucinations. But I ran the experiment anyway. In the beginning, it was just something tiny. With my eyes closed, I could clearly see an orange that wasn’t there. Essentially it was advocating what hypnotists would view as a variant of the eye fixation induction.

All Good Things

And finally, we’ll cover how to make those changes stick and how to verify that it’s worked. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. My breathing was all over the place, quick and shallow. And my thoughts were a total mess. Running around in loops. I was in the grips of a panic attack. Totally freaking out. And then I remembered something. I took a slow, deep breath, and allowed my attention to move to the physical sensations within my body. I noticed how my hands were clenched into claws, and became curious about what that was like. I explored how the sensations changed as I noticed different parts of my body. I became aware of the tension in my shoulders, and noticed that in that moment even my toes were tense.

Trying So Hard To Forget

As my attention wandered through the various physical sensations I was experiencing, I felt peace begin to spread over me. And within less than 3 minutes, I had fully restored my usual calm. All the tension was gone, my heart had stopped trying to escape from my chest, and I was feeling serene. Throughout the course of his life he ran countless hypnotic experiments. He wanted to know exactly what kinds of problems could be helped with the use of hypnosis. Ultimately his work resulted in what we know today as hypnotherapy. In hypnotherapy, we use our knowledge of hypnosis to help people to overcome all kinds of problems. The scope here is vast. In essence, any problem that is in some way caused by a pattern inside the mind can potentially be helped. Overcoming social anxiety. Fear of missing out. Changing compulsive behaviors.

That Which We Have Lost

Building motivation. Building confidence. Losing weight and keeping it off. Breaking other addictions. And much, much more. Beyond fixing problems, hypnosis itself can be used for fun. When we’re hypnotizing others for entertainment, generally we want them to act out something. This could be gluing them in place, having them talk like an alien, having them perform strange activities such as playing an air piano, or just about anything we can imagine that seems like it might be funny. When we’re hypnotizing ourselves for our amusement, the fun takes on a different quality. While we could hypnotize ourselves to act out any of those things for the entertainment of an audience, a big part of a hypnosis show is that the audience thinks the hypnotist is making them do it. Naturally it’s nowhere near as compelling to an external audience when we make ourselves do something. So how can we use hypnosis in the context of our own entertainment? As with overcoming problems, the possibilities here are near endless. The vacation of our dreams. A gateway into lucid dreaming. A gateway into meditation. Modifying our perception of video games to make them seem real. Making ourselves drunk on water. And much, much more. Now it might seem like fixing problems of the mind, and massively extending our repertoire for fun might be reason enough. Need to study for an exam? Simply drop yourself into hypnosis, engage a bit of time distortion, and spend a few hours mentally revising the entire course in detail. All in the space of a few minutes of clock time. Want to practice a piece of music? Once again, drop yourself into hypnosis, engage your time distortion, and methodically work through that piece over and over again until you’ve got it perfect. Perhaps you’d like to run through a critical presentation? You’d never guess this, but all you do is drop yourself into hypnosis, engage your time distortion, spin up a hallucination, and do the presentation over and over again, until you’ve got it just right. You’re probably beginning to spot a pattern here. Overcoming problems of the mind. Enhancing the fun things we do. Supercharging our ability to learn new things. With all of that in mind, it’s natural to ask a question. What exactly is hypnosis? What we do know is that hypnosis is a state in which the mind becomes more open to new experiences. Essentially, in hypnosis we partially or completely shut down the part of the mind that inhibits new stuff from going in. And when we’re unimpeded by all the things we already know, we can often learn much more quickly and effectively. This is why hypnosis is useful for helping us to overcome problems, for supercharging our ability to learn new things, and for helping us to let go of reality for a bit so that we can have more fun. Hypnosis is what happens when our conscious attention is consumed to the extent that we cannot interfere with the changes we’d like to have happen. Since the hypnotist can be conscious and aware of what’s going on while the subject’s unconscious mind is tweaked, this might seem like a perfect combination. When we’re working at the level where we have to think our way through how to solve specific problems, this is certainly the case. If the hypnotist knows what’s going on, won’t they interfere with their own changes?
