Hypnosis
Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness characterised by focused concentration, reduced peripheral attention and greater suggestibility. It has been studied for over two centuries (Mesmer, Braid, Charcot, Freud) and today is part of certain recognised clinical and therapeutic practices, as well as a stage phenomenon.
Clinical hypnosis
Hypnotherapy is used in dentistry (pain reduction), clinical psychology (anxiety, sleep disorders, smoking cessation) and chronic pain management. Scientific research confirms real measurable effects on brain scans: activity in the anterior cingulate cortex changes with hypnosis. Not everyone is equally "hypnotisable": suggestibility varies.
Hypnosis and the mind
In hypnosis you do not "lose control": the subject remains aware and can refuse suggestions that clash with their values. Forms of "deep hypnosis" and "past-life regression" produce imaginative material, often confused by participants with memories: psychology considers them narrative constructions, not historical data. For therapy, choose qualified hypnotherapists.
FAQ
Is it dangerous?
In expert hands, no. Not advised for people with psychotic or dissociative disorders without specialist assessment.
Can I be hypnotised against my will?
No. Hypnosis requires the subject s cooperation. Final control over the will always remains with you.
Do regressions reveal past lives?
No. They produce structured imagination. Their value can be therapeutic and symbolic, not historiographical.
