Hypnosis doesn't exist, I sometimes hear people say, but is it? Are those people right or not at all. Maybe a bit of a strange article on a Hypnosis Institute's site, but these people are right.
Hypnosis does not exist
People who claim hypnosis doesn't exist are right. At least if you are talking about something that is very separate. Hypnosis as a separate phenomenon that can only be induced by hypnotists, that indeed does not exist.
In fact, hypnosis is an everyday phenomenon that occurs perhaps 1,000 times a day. It is, in fact, a lowering of brain activity. In fact, in hypnosis your brain activity goes down, which is a very natural phenomenon. It happens quite often.
Brain Activity
When your brain activity is high you are in the Beta state. This state consists of high activity and you could say hyperactivity. The Beta state is good for reacting quickly and is mainly focused on survival. You can imagine that when you are in Beta a lot that stress increases.
That's why it's good to relax then. In relaxation, you descend into Alpha and further down into Beta. Your brain activity then decreases and that gives the brain a little more rest.
The interesting thing is that in that low brain activity you are much more creative, get more hunches and can even remember things from your earliest childhood. This happens mainly when you have even lower brain activity as in Delta.
Hypnosis and brain activity
Hypnosis consists of focus and concentration. The lower your brain activity the easier it is to focus and thus the more you go into hypnosis. You are then also much more open to suggestions.
So you could say that hypnosis does not exist because it is simply a way to focus and concentrate. So the word itself is incorrect. Hypnosis is not sleep, but rather focused concentration, and you do that more than once in a day.
So every time you find yourself starting to focus more, you're going to be more in hypnosis in that moment. You are also more receptive to suggestions and instructions at that moment.
Other words for hypnosis include:
- Trance
- Flow
- In the zone
- In shape are
- Laserfocus
When you see the above words, it is actually not very strange. In fact, it is quite normal. What you see on TV is a small aspect of hypnosis, but the other aspects are used much more.
It would be nice if we used this state more for ourselves because we can get to a certain level much faster. A level where we are even happier with ourselves, more confident about the future and much more.
We can do it all ourselves. You yourself have the ability to program your "mind" to get what you want. Using self-hypnosis you can already do this yourself or when you have done hypnosis training.
Then you can start working on your own development (which never stops), making your world a better place.
