Maybe
the trance is so pleasurable that you don't respond to the
order to wake up, in this unusual
case,
what
will happen is that you fall asleep for 30 mins or a couple
of hours and wake up normally.
While
each person responds to different stimuli and suggestions.
About 10% of the population can reach a very deep trance,
while another
5%
cannot be hypnotized because of mental disability. It's very
difficult to hypnotize children. Most adults can achieve a
state of trance,
some
very deep while others are medium, and this is perfectly
adequate for making positive changes. A study done by
American Health Magazine on Psychoanalysis, Behavior
Therapy, and Hypnosis as treatments for mental health issues
reported the following results:
Psychoanalysis
= 38% recovery after 600
sessions,
Behavior
Therapy = 73% recovery after 22
sessions,
Hypnosis
= 93% after 6 sessions.
Contrary
to the popular belief logical dominant men can be easily
hypnotized. Some people like to think that they are in
control of everything, and that no man could "put them
under" or take control of their thoughts and decisions, but
in reality this is not the case. First of all, the hypnotist
never takes over your thoughts, cannot force an order on
you, cannot make anyone do anything against their will, the
hypnotist only gives suggestions, and you may carry out
these suggestions only if you are willing. Secondly normally
people who are always in control, those that like to be
independent and strong minded, usually fall into a deep
trance quite quickly, especially if the hypnotist is using
the confusion method. This technique will confuse and bore
the left hemisphere of the brain and let the right-side take
over, leading them into a trance.
Most
Hollywood movies and fiction books are seldom based upon
fact. Hypnosis is actually a perfectly natural state of mind
which most
of us
pass in and out of many times each day such as daydreaming.
Hypnosis has nothing to do with the occult or magic
power.
Hypnosis
is not dangerous because you are always allowed to agree or
disagree with the hypnotists suggestions. The deep
relaxation during a trance state is very healthy. Paul
Clinton has designed audio programs that help you to breathe
correctly, which will be used later on in life, maybe during
stressful situations.
