Hi there all... I have been participating in this thread from pwi and it looks to me like he is trashing hypnotism but that the arguements he is using could also negate their belief in Qi etc... is that the case... many opinions welcome...

The guy has a remarkable misunderstanding of hypnotism. Seeming to believe tacky stage shows are the start and finnish of it.

I used to go and see a Hypnotherapist. He practiced Tai Chi, had a PHD in behavioural sciences amongst several other top end achedemic acheivements.

He beleived he could heal through channeling energies in the human body. He once showed me the transferal of energy (Chi?) by placing a hand near mine and I could definatly feel something happening. Could have been a trick. I wasnt acting and don't beleive or not beleive in it. I am open minded.

He taught me how to meditate for relaxation and health benefits. In fact meditation and self-hypnosis are exactly the same thing.

Although I have no experience of it. He beleived in chi and explained that the visualisation techniques used to focus energies to certain parts of the body are exactly the same techniques used in hypnotherapy to have people visualize and focus their energy in what they want to overcome or acheive.

He told me that for my kickboxing I should focus my energies to the point just below my chest. This area is related to power, force and determination.. Or something like that! :biggrin:

Your name is synonymous with "big dick" and you let a nut put you to sleep.

People have the idea that hypnotism is some weird thing where some guy "puts you to sleep". Nah, at most you are very relaxed, still fully aware of everything that is going on. It's just a way of helping a person focus on a particular thing and making sure that the suggestions the hypnotist makes are understood by the sub-conscious mind.

Maybe you should check it out. You obviously have issues with yourself jumping in with a bitchy comment trying to incite an argument like you did.

Either way, he's sedating you and having his way with you.

Why is everyone on the internet offering their psychiatric advice?

Hypnosis is, effectively, all about creating an expectation in the mind of the subject so the subject will fullfill it.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and make an absolute statement. Legitimate medical uses for hypnosis begin and end with helping people to ignore a pain that can't be treated. That is it. Any type of regression therapy is simply the hypnotist expecting to hear something and implanting that expectation in the subject until the subject believed it happened.

Hypnosis is, however, a remarkably effective way to get people to believe **** that they would say is stupid while in a rational state.

Hypnosis is nothing more than suggestion. Nothing mystical or hard to swallow about the power of suggestion on the mind.

If you hover your hand close to anything at all you will probably "feel" something. Your brain is expecting it to touch AND you are thinking about it. So think about it. Heat is also energy... Which you feel... When near someone...
