Introduction I had to come up with a marketing plan for my hypnosis site, which led me to scan the Internet for hypnosis research. I found some interesting things – like the fact that every hypnotist on video states “you are always in control of your thoughts and actions.”

Another clip I found shows a hypnotist knocking six people into comatose. The hypnotist then sticks one person’s hand to another person’s forehead, and says, “No matter how hard you try to pull away, your hand is stuck to his forehead. The harder you pull, the tighter it sticks.”

Two people are now on stage stuck to each other, four “unhypnotizable” subjects are sent back to the audience, and everybody is having a good time.

You might be thinking if everybody is having a good time, then how can hypnosis be scary? I asked the same question. The scary thing is how far we can push another person’s mind.

A good bout of stage hypnosis is fun, and yes, people would be able to say no if the hypnotist suggested they take off their clothes. But think about this: six out of 10 willing participants were able to experience deep hypnosis, hallucinations, no sense of awareness, and complete amnesia afterward…on their first try! Those six willing participants must have been highly suggestible, correct?

What happens when those six participants go home, turn on the news and watch headlines about things like war? You must remember that they willingly turned on the news, just like they willingly listened to the hypnotist, but the news is telling them to be afraid. Knowing how suggestible these people are, you can imagine how afraid they might be.

My neighbor once watched a documentary on plane crashes and she’s never flown again. My other neighbor watched a CNN report about one case of Ebola 10,000 miles away and she went into hysteria.

10 out of 10 people I know enter relationships willingly. Well, what happens if one person keeps hearing, “You’re an idiot?”

I know many people in abusive relationships. Heck, I’m in one! I love it.

Everywhere I go it seems our lives are made up of a chain of commands, and these commands are passed down to our children.

A good hypnotist understands commands, and they use commands to make the world a better place. A bad hypnotist uses fear, guilt, and shame to get their way.

Now before we get started, let me remind you that we are all “hypnotists” because we are always giving, and receiving suggestions, and commands, both consciously and unconsciously. Now ask yourself, “Do I truly understand the power of suggestion, and use it for the power of good?”

Yes? Good, but let me warn you, most people are different than us. That’s why I put together this list of the five reasons you should fear hypnosis.

Let’s begin.

Reason 1: Hypnosis IS About Mind Control I mentioned that I had been researching hypnosis. I discovered that every hypnotist is saying the same thing: “Hypnosis is NOT about mind control. You are always in control of your thoughts and actions. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. You’ll never do anything you don’t want to do. You’ll always be safe.”

This is very true; however, if I were to tell you to sleep on command, and you do it, who is in control?

Then I say, “When I count up from one, to three, you are going to wake up and have a Jamaican accent. One, two, three.”

You wake up and say, “Everytingiriemon.” Who is in control?

It’s not a case of what came first – the chicken or the egg – it’s a case of I give the suggestion, and you react to it. If you do what I say without question, then I must be controlling you, no?

What makes hypnotic language so scary is seeing how people are unknowingly controlled. Lost souls get conned into terrorists groups, and cults. These aren’t people who necessarily want to do bad things, but they do them.

When my neighbor – who thinks she controls all her thoughts – watches a CNN report on Ebola and they tell her to be scared, so she fears the worst. Is she actually in control of her thoughts?

I have another neighbor who is always upbeat, fun, and present in the moment. You would think, Man, that guy is in control of his thoughts. I think the same damn thing.

You see, I think we are all in control of our thoughts, but sometimes we are OUT of control with our thoughts, and it could be beneficial to know which is which.

Sometimes I want to be in control of my thoughts, and sometimes I want others to take the lead.

There is a proverb that says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

I want to go far, and I know that when you work as a team, silly ideas like, “who is in control?” Cease to exist, or even have to be brought up. Instead we can think about new subjects like crushing that next big goal.

In hypnosis we have a saying, “When you really begin to accept yourself at a deep level, then you’ll free yourself to change whatever you wish.”

Reason 2: Bad Hypnotists The hypnotist who stuck the girl’s hand to the boy’s head was a good hypnotist.

People enjoyed the hypnotist, and everybody had a good time.

The CNN reporter who hypnotized my friend into fearing a zombie apocalypse is a mean hypnotist, and many people are. I always hear people telling me not to feel guilty or angry. Unfortunately, these people are out there attempting to hypnotize me into feeling bad. When you grab the newspaper and the headline reads, “Cancer strikes again, see how you could be next,” that makes you feel bad, does it not?

In my book, the Beginner’s Guide to Hypnosis: Volume I, we talk about psychologist Dan Wegner’s white bear experiment. It’s an experiment that understands why the more you try not to think about something like a white bear, the more you will think about a white bear.

For example, if I told you DON’T think about a white bear, what is it that you think about? That’s right, you have to think about a white bear in order to know what I’m talking about. That means that when you tell me NOT to worry, I have to think about worrying in order to know what you are talking about.

On the other hand, you can switch it up and use the word “don’t” to command positive thinking. You could say, “I sure don’t want you to be happy, and lucky.”

That usually makes people smile.

The bottom line is that if you don’t fear hypnosis, you should fear the bad hypnotic language that surrounds you – the negative attitudes, the bullies, and the chauvinistic pigs. Fortunately, the more you know about hypnosis, the easier it is to mess with their minds.

Reason 3: Hypnosis is the Secret Power of Influence In 1784, when Franz Mesmer began to publicize his theory of animal magnetism, which was considered offensive by many, Louis XVI appointed a commission to investigate it. This included the chemist Antoine Lavoisier, the physician JosephIgnaceGuillotin, the astronomer Jean Sylvain Bailly, and American Ambassador Benjamin Franklin.

That commission gave poor Mr. Mesmer a hard time. They didn’t necessarily prove Franz wrong, but they did discredit his theory of animal magnetism. They discovered that Franz did not have a secret power – but Franz did have a gift, and it was the power of suggestion. Franz made people believe they could heal, and it worked.

Decades after Franz was discredited of his secret power, hypnosis was born.

Surgeons helped patients relax into trance, psychologists cured hysteria, and personal development skyrocketed.

Hypnosis became so popular that therapists, doctors, sales personnel, pro athletes, and government officials areutilizing powerful hypnotic techniques to get the things they want. The question I have to wonder is if the leaders of the world are using it, why aren’t you?

Reason 4: Scientists Research Hypnosis The person who coined the word “hypnosis,” James Braid, was a surgeon and gentleman scientist. Braid discovered hypnosis when he attended a public performance by the travelling Swiss magnetic demonstrator Charles Lafontaine (1803–1892)at the Manchester Athenaeum onNovember 13, 1841.

Braid was amongst the medical men who were invited onto the platform by Lafontaine. Braid examined the physical condition of Lafontaine's magnetized subjects – especially their eyes and eyelids – and concluded that they were, indeed, in quite a different physical state.

Since Braid’s discovery, scientists have been consistently proving in favor of hypnosis. Brain research backs up the scientists with proof that our brain can’t distinguish real from unreal. For example, if you can imagine an orange, the same part of your brain is activated as if you were to physically see the orange.

When the founders of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), John Grinder and Richard Bandler, hit the scene, they took hypnosis and brain research to a new level.

They learned how to hypnotize anybody, anytime, anywhere. They learned about language, indirect suggestion, direct suggestion, anchoring techniques, therapeutic metaphors, and they used potent analogies to teach their knowledge to millions of people.

There are people who use the information for good, and there are equally smart people who use this information for corruption and evil. Of course, most people never figure out how to use hypnosis or NLP properly, and they are harmless.

Reason 5: Hypnosis is Everywhere Are you having a baby? Do you want to cure a phobia? Would you like to be a better athlete? There is a hypnosis program for that. Is your car broke down on the side of the road? There is no hypnosis program for that, but you could practice a little selfhypnosis to calm the frustration.

Public speakers use hypnotic techniques to gain rapport with entire audiences. The media uses hypnotic techniques to write headlines. Politicians use hypnosis to sway voters, and yet most people I know say, “I can’t be hypnotized.”

What Does This Mean?

Scientists have kept an interest in hypnosis for over 170 years. My guess is that hypnosis is here to stay. It will change and evolve, but it has yet to be fully understood.

The one thing all great hypnotists do understand is the power of suggestion. Good hypnotists make sure to use the power for good, while bad hypnotists use the power for evil. Everybody else thinks the power does not exist, and that is a mistake because the power of hypnotic language is everywhere. In fact, one of the things you’re really going to love about hypnosis is how quickly you’ll become irresistibly influential.

Of course, I know that most people don’t have the extra 10,000 hours it takes to become the next great hypnotist. But if you do have 30 minutes to read my next book, then you might see a new direction opening up in front of you.
