"In case there are questions, yes, online text hypnosis is possible, and being hypnotized is only possible if you want it. Any questions, then feel free to ask me, I don't bite... much... "
I'm very curious as to how you think online text hypnosis is possible, and even how you do it? Also I'm curious as to your thoughts on the idea that only a percentage of people are capable of being hypnotised, no matter what they want?
I've done it, yes. Hypnosis is all about focus and relaxation, focus and relaxation. One of my friends who was honestly hypnotized on stage was focused on the singular idea of "I am not hypnotized," the fact that he was focused on a single thing, relaxing, and wanting to BE hypnotized, opened him up to suggestion. As a sidenote, the only reason he thought he was not hypnotized was because he became *hyper* sensitive to his senses, such as hearing the audience talking, as opposed to blocking it all out and loss of the senses of the outside world. This happens to some people, it's just rarer than losing all focus on the senses.
quote:
"As a friend of mine put it: "If you want to be hypnotized, the hypnotist is competent and capable, and you follow his initial instructions, there's nothing stopping you from being hypnotized." "
But do your friends ideas match psychology, hypnotherapy, the experiences of people who have tried to be hypnotised, or even have evidence to make it more than a personal anecdote?
The person who said this to me was a friend back in the hometown had studied psychology for a several years, had been in hypnosis for about 2 years with a number of previous patients and subjects (some were casual things he had fun with at home). So yea, I would assume this matches psychology and hypnotherapy and other peoples' experiences. I'll be sure to ask if he was BS'ing later >.>
quote:
"However, if you come to me saying "I dare you to hypnotize me" with no interest in being hypnotized, then you've already won, you're not being hypnotized, though you may feel a tad more relaxed, that's about it. Get what I mean?"
So the same as spirits and psychic powers it only works with those who already believe it. You are right about one thing, some do roleplay and are fakes.
If all it takes is wanting to be hypnotised, then daring you to do it is wanting you to do it. What you are looking for is people who are easily hypnotised, or can make themsleves believe just about anything. All the ones you can't do, they are in the larger percentage who simply can't be hypnotised, and yes many of those people will dare you as they know the limitations of hypnosis.
Yes, there are limitations on hypnosis, but the many I've met personally either believe hypnosis can do MUCH more than it can, and thus get SCARED away from the thought of being hypnotized, or feel it's rubbish, and thus feel that hypnosis can do so little that there's no reason to try.
Perhaps I should use a different wording, such as "Betcha can't hypnotize me," than "I dare you to," as that's what I get more often. And yea, a person who full out doesn't believe in hypnosis is going to be willing against anything happening. A person who is skeptical, but honestly has a open mind and willing to try, however, is a different story, though it might take a little longer.
I myself have only been able to be hypnotized once. The reason: that one person was the only person that could make me relax on their own, no one else has been capable of doing more than making me WANT to relax without actually being able to do so. I'm a busybody usually, so it's usually hard to get me to actually let myself relax, thus the problem. I'd let myself if I could.
quote:
"Are we there yet" and "You do realise I'll be asking for a refund if you can't provide the advertised service" are the only results of hypnosis with me, no matter what I wanted or the records or credentials of the person trying. I've also had a couple of friends who were desperate to get onto one of those stage hypnosis shows, and were rejected by the performer because they were not suseptable to hypnosis.
I guess there are different experiences to the relationships between desire, hypnosis and success?
Some could have been worried that they'd do something that they would be against doing on stage, like being made a fool of in front of dozens of friends, and the like?
If you're actually asking "Are we there yet? How bout now? And now?" either you've had a bad 'tist or weren't following instructions of letting yourself relax, letting yourself focus, you were obviously getting distracted. Frankly, I dislike people who distract me from my end result, someone who's already saying "By the way, this is what happens if you fail," tells me "I don't plan on doing anything you say, so you'll make sure I don't lose anything if I don't do anything, right?"
I've had a friend fall into hypnosis in the middle of the audience without actually volunteering, and still doesn't remember a lot of the show (part of it, she was an erotic dancer named "Naomi" because it spells "I moan" backwards, said the most uptight girl I know), so everyone has different experiences
I bet if you look at any point that hypnosis failed in your life, it would point to either a lack of focus, or a focus of the person failing before ya did anything. Ever hear of the "self-fulfilling prophecy"? Curiosity, juse being sure, and telling someone "By the way, it ain't gonna work, so I get my money back," are three different things entirely. Just like with how you'll do with asking a girl out, if you're telling yourself from the start that it's not possible in the least, then you're right. If you say to yourself "Who knows, maybe...?" then it can, if the 'tist involved are competent enough and the subject actually follows "instructions," so to speak. By instructions, I mean if he says to take deep breaths, you let yourself do so, not following hypnotic suggestions...
