All this "underground" hypnosis that you see advertised on the internet only appeals to power hungry people. They think of all the amaxing things they can do and buy rubish if anything. So let's talk a little about the hypnotic state/trance. Trance is a state of awareness where it becomes possible to tap into those deep unconscious resources we all possess, allowing us to make desired changes. To be in a trance does not mean to be asleep, although it can sometimes look that way, but in fact the opposite is true. Studies of the brain activity of people in trance have revealed an increased level of alertness. So rather then it been a sleep it is actually a state of focus. Everyone has experienced trance many times, though most people don't know it as trance. We all go in and out of this state several times a day. Have you ever found yourself so engrossed in the storyline of a movie or book, to the complete exclusion of the room and people around you? That is an example of trance that most people can relate to. Healing by trance is among the oldest phenomena known to man and is found, in one form or another, in virtually every culture throughout the world. It is an enormously useful therapeutic tool. Once in a state of hypnotic relaxation, the subconscious mind is able to absorb information, suggestion and other content which bring about therapeutic changes. Suggestions (direct and indirect), therapeutic interventions, visualisation and language structures are utilised in this state, so you can achieve something you want, or something that will benefit you, and in this hypnotic state, that acceptance goes even deeper than it would in non-hypnotic states. Since the subconscious mind is a deeper-seated, more instinctive force than the conscious mind, when accessed, therapeutically, many desired behavioural and cognitive changes are achievable. Suggestions will only be acted upon by the subject if they do not directly conflict with their personal morals and views. More Info: www.hypnochanges.co.uk I agree with the last post.

At the end of the day most people never carry out the "underhand" or "underground" courses available as they lose interest and move on to something else. Its long been an opinion of most that hypnosis does not work, but i disagree. Just my opinion though Although there does seem to be some controversy over certian hypnosis
courses on the internet, is there really cause for concern?

There are some sensations that are very hard for people to experience differently; then there are some combinations of perception and cognition, such as guessing another person’s motivation, that different people can see very differently, depending on learned prejudices and worldviews. I am fairly easily hypnotized. I remember when under hypnosis, I actually could see an extra object in addition to a few that were really there. The thing is that part of me knew which one was imaginary, no matter how good a virtual reality my brain had conjured up for me to see it. None of these mechanisms should be seen as black and white.
