Hypnotized... and I don't mean Oakenfold.

Have any of you been hypnotized before?
Just because, a hypnotic therapist was in my college.

No but I've heard it's a very relaxing experience.

O_o I thought this was only in the movies

One of those guys made a show at my school 2 years ago. It was really funny, he hypnotized a few kids I knew. He made a guy dance ballet and stuff like that, when he woke up, he couldn't remember anything
Supposedly it works, I have to get hypnotized myself to believe it...

I am still waiting for the day my unconcious takes it all over

hypnotism does not work on everyone. it will only work on those that are open to the powers of suggestion, those of us that are scepticle...it probably won't work on you...

i hypnotised my roommate. we found an old book that gave steps on how to do it...this was a real psych book.


i dind't do anything extravogent, just made him lift his arm up and say stupid things. but he was out and really hypnotised.


we had a plan to hit on chicks doing this...but it never panned out, especially since he drooled a lot while under.

They put you in a state of trance (no pun intended) not a sleep nor awake.

hehe... makes me think of office space.

That might be true, even though the guy that came to my school said that everyone can be hypnotized. It all depends how relaxed, etc they are on that day, it doesn't work everytime...

It also doesn't work if you are not particularly smart (it has something to do with how the brain processes things apparently) or if you're drunk.

We've had a stage hypnotist come to our uni a few times and she put on a brilliant show. Not only did she make people do stupid things, but she also made this one guy inhumanly strong, just through hypnotism. She told him that he was "solid as a rock" and that he should "stand up straight so that nothing on earth could bend him". Then she put him to sleep, laid him so that his head and shoulders rested on one chair, and his feet on the other, with a large gap in between, and sat on him.

She wasn't exactly slim either, but he didn't move. It was so wierd how he became super-strong. And another thing was, she just picked him out of the audience. He wasn't hypnotised with the rest of them, he just got up on stage, and she practically clicked her fingers and he was under!! It was great to watch.

That's arguable. Most hypnotists, who simply follow the same textbook procedures for eversubject, find that some are not susceptible... or resistant. One of the worlds most famous hypnotherapists Milton Erickson never had resistant subjects. He worked so well on an intuitive level that he would automatically adjust his methodology based on the subject's particular characteristics. He even pioneered a complex techniqueof inducing an altered state through a handshake, without saying anything.
Modern theorists also blur the distinction between hypnosis and ordinary communication, suggesting that there is a huge amount of subconscious communication and suggestion going on between people in any conversation. Altered states are also not necessarily anything special. A lot of people go into a mild altered state when riding an elevator... If you've ever gotten off with everyone else on the lift despite the fact that it wasn't your floor, it is very likely you were in a mild altered state.

Although the effects oh hypnosis can be dramatic , there are limits to the behaviors that can be influenced by hypnosis. First , contrary to popular belief , you cannot be hypnotized against your will. Second , Hypnosis cannot make you stronger than your physical capabilities or bestow talents that you do not already have.

However , hypnosys can enhance physical skills or athletic ability by increasing motivation and concentration or by reducing anxiety.

Third , hypnosis cannot make you perfeorm behaviours that are contrary to your morals and values. Thus , you're very unlikely to commit criminal or immoral actions under the influence of hypnosis - unless , of course , you find such actions acceptable.

Also , a psychologist ERNEST HILGARD , believed that when a person is hypnotized his consciousness experiences dissociation , which splits it into two or more simultaneous streams of mental activity.
Therefore , while one side of the consciousness responds to the practitioner , the other acts as guardian , also called "hidden observer" .

I've worked with two hypnotists in the past, but neither was able to hypnotize me. They both provided the explanation that I wasn't relaxed enough, but I'm not sure I buy it. I'm fairly skeptical about the subject, although it certainly exists in some form.

My friend was hypnotized a few months ago. The guy made him have sex with a chair & sing "bust a move" in chinese (he's italian). It was quite the comical night.

I don't believe it, really. About picking people right out from the audience, ever heard of "interacting" with the crowd before the show and maybe slipping a wad of money into their pocket? And, about that guy who became uber strong, did you know him well enough to be able to truly doubt that he normally had physical strength to that extent? Next time, make him do an Iron Cross and I'll believe you.

You too? Ohhhhh
2 chicks at the same time
fuckin A

I�m sure there�s more of a chance it will work better if they are a proper qualified hypnotherapist in the use of helping people to over come phobias, anxieties, obsessions etc, not some stage actor who learnt it from some �Hypnosis for Dummies� book lol

well actually in order to legally hypnotise someone you need to be licensed. I never really looked into all the rigmarole of it all.

However one of my psych prof was a licensed hypnotist. I guess there are a lot of ethical considerations er something....who cares...you might be able to get chicks to like you....at least for a little while.
