Some Basic Facts About Hypnosis

Hypnotic induction is a procedure by which a set of attitudes or mental state is induced in a person

. In fact, hypnosis comprises of a sequence of instructions and positive suggestions. There are two ways by which hypnotic suggestions are administered. One by a professional hypnotherapist and the other, self-administered. Hypnotism can be used for the purpose of treatment and it is called 'hypnotherapy'.

The words 'hypnosis' and 'hypnotism' are coined by a Scottish physician and surgeon named James Braid in the year 1841. 'Neuro-hypnotism' is the phrase from which both the terms are coined. There is a general mistaken belief that hypnosis is a form of unconsciousness which is like sleep. But the fact that it is a wakeful state of concentrated attention is proved by researches. The stimulation of creative faculties take place in this psychological process along with the establishment of concentrated thinking, feeling and perception.

Basically there are four main brave wave patterns which are the frequency of electrical impulses firing from the brain, identified through the data collected by EEGs. The Beta state is alert and working; the Alpha, relaxed and reflecting; the Theta, drowsy; and the Delta, sleeping, dreaming or deep sleep are these four forms. The physiological definition of hypnosis is 'the brainwave level necessary to work on issues like quitting addictions, weight loss, removing phobias, improving performance in sports etc' The alpha state, which deal with these issues, is usually linked with closing the eyes and relaxing.

For therapeutic change, the Theta state is needed and it is linked with hypnosis for surgery, reducing sense and sensitivity to pain etc. You should also remember that reading, meditation and watching television are also forms or hypnosis. Most of the hypnotists claim that they can hypnotize anybody. They strongly refute the concept that strong-willed people cannot be made to undergo the trance. Their argument is based on the fact that most intelligent people would be creative also. Creative people would definitely respond to hypnotic suggestions and hypnotists' language.

Strong association exists between the ease of putting someone in a trance and his level of suggestibility. In such a condition, he may even accept the facts which would be refused otherwise. In the present scenario, hypnosis is used in the arena of education, sports, medicine, entertainment and forensic sciences, to name a few.
