Learn To Hypnotize Someone: Can You Turn A Person Into A Virtual Zombie?

By Daryl V. Glenn

There are many misconceptions regarding what hypnosis is, how to use hypnosis, and whether, in fact, you can really learn to hypnotize someone to make them do whatever you'd like them to do. Most of these misconceptions have been popularized time and time again in fictional dramas, horror stories, movies, and the entertainment media in general.

But can you really learn to hypnotize someone so that in zombie-like fashion he or she does your bidding? If so, knowing how to use hypnosis would make you dangerous. The truth is, hypnosis has been used throughout the centuries, in ways that are both fraudulent and legitimate. Let's clarify just what hypnosis is and what it isn't. Knowing how to use hypnosis leg itimately can bring real benefits that enhance health and well-being, but if you think you can learn to hypnotize someone to control them, you're likely to be disappointed.

Hypnosis is not a method of mind control despite what you've been led to believe. The familiar image of the creepy-voiced guy who can dangle a little hypno-disk or a watch on a chain as a pendulum before people’s eyes to compel them to bark like a dog when he snaps his fingers is a myth, an urban legend. You can't learn to hypnotize someone against her or his will. You can't use hypnosis to make someone initiate or engage in actions that run counter of that person's code of ethics or morals. Hypnosis is not generated by some mystical “power” the hypnotist possess, a notion that wrongly suggests the possibility of mind control. You can't learn to hypnotize someone and usurp their will.

Another popular misconception is that hypnosis works only on individuals with weak wills or minds. Intelligence, in fact, has nothing to do with the ability to enter a hypnotic state. Anyone can attain the hypnotic state through using self-hypnosis techniques, but the ability to be hypnotized by someone else - a hypnotist - depends on a host of factors, many of them difficult to quantify. Motivation plays a role, susceptibility play a role, to name a few of those factors. Also, hypnosis doesn't seem to have much to do with individuals who have overactive or vivid imaginations. But the myths surrounding what hypnosis can and can't do and how to use hypnosis have proven difficult to debunk. It bears repeating: no, you can't learn to hypnotize someone so that they mindlessly follow your every command. But you can learn how to use hypnosis to effect a number of positive psychological benefits for yourself and others.

The process of hypnosis doesn't have to be time-consuming, and contrary to popular belief, it does not require the subject to be totally relaxed. Hypnosis is named after the god of sleep, but it is not sleep. Hypnosis has been defined as “a trancelike state that resembles sleep but is induced by a person whose suggestions are readily accepted by the subject.”

It seems that there are more questions than answers, and that may be so. Any time answers are sought for phenomena related to the mind and mental functioning, the issues cease to be black and white. What we do know is, there are many ways in which hypnosis has been and still is used today to treat physical, mental, emotion and social problems. People learn how to use hypnosis to alleviate the symptoms of a great number of debilitating disorders. You can learn to hypnotize someone and have a positive effect on their lives. You can learn to hypnotize yourself and enjoy the benefits, as well.

Hypnosis is used to treat anxiety, obesity, phobias, depression, phobias, fears and habits such as quitting smoking. It can be used to alleviate the pain associated with cancer and other illnesses. Hypnodontia - hypnosis used in dentristy - can be used to mitigate anxiety and make patients feel less nervous and more comfortable when dentistry is performed. Hypnosis can even be used to treat skin diseases - a practice called hypnodermatology. A certified, trained or or licensed hypnotherapist knows how to use hypnosis to help people overcome many of their mind-based, habit-rooted challenges and issues.

Hypnosis has also been used in the field of mental health to treat dissociative disorders, PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and depression. In the educational field it is used to increase earning capacity and memory as well as energy and focus. Hypnosis is used to improve confidence and self-esteem These applications differ immensely from the media-driven assertion that you can learn to hypnotize someone and turn him or her into your zombie.

Altered states of consciousness such as meditation, relaxation and sleep have been attained through hypnosis. It seems that no stone has been left unturned in exploring how to use hypnosis: self-hypnosis with binaural beat audio is used to facilitate states that allow for remote viewing, astral projection, ESP, telepathy and past life regression. Binaural beats have even been used by secret members of the US government to utilize remote viewing tactics.

Hypnosis remains an effective tool that continues to be used in the medical, self-help and medical fields to enable people to live longer, live better, and to enhance their lives. Learning how to use hypnosis, properly, has enabled many people to enhance the quality of their lives. You can learn to hypnotize someone else and help to improve their lives, too.
