ORIGINAL: rukna the word hypnosis scares me... doing things without being aware of... is like being a dumb computer terminal who executes without knowledge of what it is doing Your concept of what hypnosis is like is inaccurate. While under hypnosis the subject hears everything going on and is aware, awake, alert, conscious and able to open their eyes at any time they desire to stop the process if they are not comfortable. This is why it is said that you cannot get someone to do something they are not willing to do by using hypnosis on them. Unless the hypnotist is also a vaccuum cleaner salesman, then certain people are helpless to resist! Well those salesman use special NLP techniques, to catch you offguard or to bring you into a specific pattern, but you can easily protect yourself from them if you know what to look for. There is a real great site describing those techniques with some examples, but unfortunately this site is in german. But back to the original thing: You are not "unconscious" or a robot while under hypnosis, quite the opposite. You are aware of everything, it is not like you drop "asleep" and have no clue what is going on. Also many think under hypnosis you forget everything that is happening. That is not really true, you only forget it if you WANT to forget it, but suprisingly many seems to like this forget part. In my experience with hypnosis, forget suggestions stick very often, i have no clue why, but maybe cause many people that accept to try out hypnosis have that "wrong" image of being unconsious and forgetting everything. This may make them "ready" to accept suggestions like this more easily. Also those things are not "really" forgotten, they are still theer, and can easily be "reawakened". You are always aware of everything. Even if you don't know it. For example i had a subject after a "bad" party night that couldn't remember anything that happened during this night cause she was drinking too much. With hypnosis i was able to restore this memory again, so she could remember everything that happened during that evening and that night again. So unfortunately hypnosis got that "bad" touch to it, cause of the wrong images everyone got about it. And those older films that used it in some sort of "mind crontrol" didn't really help to make this better. Actually being in trance feels pretty good, and it can not be used to control you in any way if you don't want to. Now if you give up that control voluntarily and are fully aware of this, you may be surprised to find out what can be possible ;) And many of those things still sound unbelievable, i still can't believe them myself sometimes, even when i have seen them several times by now, so i won't add them here as the topic starter may just yell "this is the BS i meant". But i had the luck to find some really special person who really want to try out all of this on her own, and as hypnosis can only do what you want to do yourself, this is a really great combination.
