This must be explained
I’ve had 3 experts attempt to hypnotize me in my life. Once in a psychology class when I was at college, once at a therapy session and once at a dentists office.
I am un-hypnotizable.
I’ve been in a hypnotic state before. It’s really more of a deep state of relaxation. Quite refreshing actually, like a power nap while still being conscious.
I used to be able to get there by myself, but that was a while ago.
I got hypnotized once a week for about 6 weeks to quit smoking in 2001.
It was one of the best things I ever did. I was such a hopeless addict
that I thought I would just die smoking, but hypnotism broke the addiction up.
I’m not saying it was EASY the first few weeks, but it was successful.
I actually quit after the 3rd session but went back a few times for ‘reinforcement’.
I, honest to God, have not smoked a cigarette since then and that’s the singular most miraculous thing thats happened in my life, IMO. (I did smoke hookah (sp?) at a middle eastern restaurant once, but that doesn’t count!)

IMHO: We just THINK our conscious mind is making all of our decisions for us when really the conscious mind is the co-pilot of the subconscious. Ideas, beliefs & patterns of behavour are deeply ingrained in us on a level below our conscious awareness. It is this little subconscious mind that truly drives most of our actions. Hypnotism and other types of subconscious programming bi-pass our conscious mind and the walls we have built around our subconscious to implant new beliefs and patterns of behavior. I personally know that this type of programming can be powerful and effective. I also know that it is nothing to fuck with blindly or without great consideration. Once something is in the subconscious it is not always easy to get it back out.
I would consider hypnotism or other types of subconscious programming very carefully and on a case by case basis. I would not casually put access to my subconscious mind in the hands of just anyone… and NEVER for entertainment purposes.

Nonsense. It’s fun to mess around with the subconscious. I get hypnotized each week just for LOLz to make me do stuff I don’t normally do. Stuff like speaking with a Scottish accent, giving myself Tourette’s, making myself believe I smell bacon everywhere I go, being attracted to fat women, eating tacos upside down, curling in the squat rack, etc.

eating fat women’s tacos upside down in the squat rack?
You’re right. That IS worth it.
Been hypnotized (clinically) several times. As a previous poster said, it’s like a deep state of relaxation… like meditation. The practitioner would start by talking about deep relaxation, etc., then slowly integrating non-sensical phrases that he later told me were designed to get past the conscious mind.
It reminded me of when I first start falling asleep. I find myself starting to dream, thinking or imagining something that doesn’t really make sense. If I recognize that’s what’s happening, I’ll wake up.
Hypnotism is cool shit.
