Hypnosis is an altered state of attention, where a person becomes highly responsive to suggestions. The hypnotized person follows instructions in an automatic fashion and pays attention only to what the hypnotist brings to there attention. If the person is highly responsive to suggestions, they may hear, see, feel, smell or taste what the hypnotist is describing. A person's memory and awareness of self can be changed by suggestion with hypnosis, allowing positive results to take place in the conscious mind.
Misconceptions:
There are some misconceptions surrounding hypnosis. Some people believe that a person becomes unconscious when hypnotized. This notion may have come from the way television or stage hypnosis is portrayed. Being unconscious when hypnotized is the furthest from the truth. A person actually becomes more awake and mentally aware, but very relaxed.....which makes them appear to be unconscious.
Hypnosis requires a person to have a certain level of concentration and intelligence. You will not reveal all of your secrets about yourself or others under hypnosis. The hypnotized person can speak, if necessary but not necessarily tell the truth. Some people are afraid that they will not be able to come out of hypnosis once hypnotized....but they are the ones actually putting themselves into the trance, so they can just as easily take themselves out of a trance....when ever they want.
The Church and Hypnosis:
In some areas of the Country, you'll find an almost fanatical resistance to the word "Hypnosis". Most often, this resistance is based on people not being educated about hypnosis. Many times people are simply afraid of what they don't know or understand.... then degrade it and resist what they know nothing about...usually out of Fear (False Expectations Appearing Real).
Nowhere in any scared text will you find the word "hypnosis", and the closest thing to it in religious circles is meditation, which is universally embraced as a power for Good!
In fact, the Roman Catholic Church was among the first to recognize hypnosis as a legitimate physical phenomenon and to remove the occult stigma. In 1847, the Church issued a proclamation on the subject, which stated in part..."Having removed all misconceptions, explicit or implicit invocation of the Devil, the use of hypnosis is indeed merely an act of making use of physical media and is not morally forbidden, provided that it does not tend toward an illicit end".
In 1956, Pope Pius XII addressed a group of obstetricians and spoke of the use of hypnosis in the delivery process. Some Catholic schools are now teaching courses in hypnosis and medicine; one example being the Marquette School of Dentistry.
The occult flavoring of hypnosis is undoubtedly left over from some of the weirdness of Mesmer's day and from the Svengali and Rasputin traditions. Today, some charlatans still use hypnosis as part of their repertoire of trickery. The only defense against the bad publicity they generate is education. Church and Hypnosis, by Steven LaVelle
