Hypnotists at a bar in Nice ...

Crazy things come from that. And that's right. Years ago (2013), I took a mesmerism course. That's the precursor you might say to hypnosis. Hypnosis evolved from mesmerism and was invented by Franz Anton Mesmer in the 18th century.

The word mesmerizing is also derived from its name. Fun fact.

In the course, we learned roughly three things. Presence (presence), Fascination (gazing into the eyes) and Passes (magnetizing). This took us six days and you could have gone on for 20 days. I went there to learn better fascination, also called gazing. I really wanted that

Having hypnotic eyes. That seemed like a good idea to me. My eyes definitely became more hypnotic through the exercises and more powerful, but what proved much more powerful was the presence. Being present. If you are that then everything goes much better.

It may make perfect sense to you; to me at the time, it was truly an eye-opener. When you are really there in a session with someone miraculous things happen.

So we practiced that and my eyes literally became more and more intense and also whiter somehow. So the whites of the eyes. They really became these shining orbs almost. Well with a little imagination.

After the course, we walked around Nice a bit and ended up at a little bar (see photo). There we got talking to some people and they were (of course) fascinated. Especially the ladies liked it and asked if we could hypnotize them.

Within seconds, they were on the floor. One after another.

As you can imagine, people became even more fascinated but also frightened. We were kindly asked to leave the establishment and we did, leaving the ladies behind... (woken up first though, otherwise they would still be lying there now ;-))

But it can happen that fast. People can go into hypnosis that fast, and it often works much better than slow. That's because then they can keep thinking. This is something I am going to teach to a lot of people in June. You just have to dare to be there. Check the link if you dare
