Often I am asked about hypnosis. Just this weekend with the college kids, they wanted to know all about what I do. These were bright kids. They all held majors like, math, physics and organic chemistry. Still, they thought of hypnosis the way it is presented in many movies. They thought of it as if it were mind control and very mysterious. (It is neither.)

I had a conversation with a buddy who wants to quit smoking. His wife is due with a baby soon, he has another child and he wants to be around to enjoy them. Plus, the first born is getting to the age where he will figure out why Daddy sneaks out of the house and returns smelling of smoke. This friend is well educated and well read, a bright man. Still, he mentioned concerns about hypnosis, based on misunderstandings about how he would feel and whether he would be safe.

Then I received an email from a reader of this blog, wanting to know how to use self hypnosis to improve her life. Without an understanding first of what hypnosis is and is not, it is hard for me to explain how to use it. So, today I am providing a link to my website. There is a short video my web master and I produced that explains hypnosis better. Please, if you want to learn about hypnosis, watch it, then send me your questions. Perhaps this can create a better understanding for each of my readers and a chance to learn how to make use of this powerful tool in your life.

So, here is the link:

Enjoy and let me know what questions I can answer for you!

Thanks Grandy, we did! I guess I never got over playing dress up? Hopefully, it will enlighten folks to hypnosis and allow for an understanding just how safe and natural it is!

Now – do you also have ESP or are you just that good?

/cannot believe how fast you found me.

Good luck on your new venture!

Thanks for stopping by and dropping a card! Had fun on your site.

Enjoyed the video! It needs to be on YouTube with a link/url on it to your site, because there are lots of people who ask “What is hypnosis?” and you could provide that to them.

Thanks,

I understood not everyone is hypnotisable (if that’s a word). Is that true?

A. on June 2, 2008 at 2:08 pm -

Because hypnosis is natural, it occurs daily without your being aware of it, everyone is capable. Some folks are more suggestible, therefore go into a deeper level of hypnosis more readily. If you are fearful of the experience you are less apt to participate.

Debbie on June 2, 2008 at 2:32 pm -

Also, A, it is my job to assist you in overcoming the fears and to allow the changes that you (the client) want. Never, ever is it my job to create changes that are my desires!

Debbie on June 2, 2008 at 2:33 pm -

I do myself experience the “coming to” especially after reading a book and sometimes if I’m deep in conversation with someone. I can even become so totally involved in a knotty problem at work that I lose track of what’s happening.

It’s all very interesting. I attended a talk by a man who said he used to hypnotise himself before doing a chore he dislike and it made the time appear to pass much more quickly. I always have thought that would be most incredibly useful 🙂

A. on June 2, 2008 at 2:46 pm -

Indeed A. You are a great subject for hypnosis. Your photographs show me that you are quite visual and become mesmerized with what you are doing. Take time each day to settle down, listen to your body and with your eyes closed, imagine you can see each body function slowing down. Notice how it feels then allow your mind to wander to something you hope to accomplish. Picture and imagine yourself preforming the task easily and then see the rewards of a job well done. Perhaps you hear the words of praise or taste sweet success. However it works for you. Tasks will become easier!

Debbie on June 2, 2008 at 2:56 pm -

Some pretty interesting stuff. Its always good to hear the differing opinions on hypnosis and I like where you are going with it.
