Much has been written about hypnosis, and many movies and TV series have featured characters being hypnotized to do strange things or disclose secret information. That might make for exciting entertainment, but it does not reflect the true value of hypnosis.
These characterizations are often stereotypical so I would like to shed some light on what it is actually like to practice hypnosis from my own experience. Many people have misconceptions about the methods or techniques used to induce a subject into a trance state. The skills required to be a professional practitioner of hypnosis take patience and training to learn. I have been practicing hypnosis professionally for over 40 years, but I continue to learn and expand the scope of my research in this field to this day.
My method of hypnosis utilizes visualization so that subjects are able to reach the somnambulistic state directly. In this level of the subconscious, the subject is removed from their conscious thoughts and is able to move freely through time and space at their own pace. It is necessary to note that I am only a facilitator and guide in this process and whatever the subject experiences is happening directly to them and not because of me.
Hypnosis that takes the subject deep into the somnambulistic state can produce many useful results. By uncovering details about a subject's past lives, a puzzle can be pieced together to establish common threads of their previous existences, which point to larger lessons their soul is learning on its journey of evolution through the ages.
Irrational fears and obsessions of a subject may also be explained through hypnosis. One of the first past life regressions I witnessed revealed that the subject was an accomplice to her gangster boyfriend in Roaring '20s Chicago. Her boyfriend asked her to wrap a gun in a towel with bricks to weigh it down and throw the makeshift package from a boat into a lake to hide it from the police. Later, upon awakening from the session, the subject revealed she had a recurring dream for years in her present life about going out on a boat and throwing something overboard.
Many different methods and procedures of hypnosis can be used until the subject finds the one they are most comfortable with. One of my methods utilizes visualizing an elevator. When the subject feels they have arrived at the correct floor, and the elevator door opens, they have a desire to get off and explore whatever they see. When the session ends, the elevator rises up through the somnambulistic state until the subject is once again engaged with their conscious mind.
This is but one example of many methods of hypnosis that have been proven to work and my hope is that this valuable tool will be used by more and more trained practitioners in the years to come.
