Hypnosis- Is it all guff?
6 years ago I went to see a stage hypnotist of some renown.
When he asked for voleteers from the audience to be hypnotysed I jumped at the chance, I'd been interested in hypnotysam for years and this would be a perfect chance to test it out to see if all the rumours were true... how wrong I was.
The scabby old chanser did his mysitic mumbo jumbo to put us into 'trances' ("you're on a beach you can feal the sea lapping at your toes, Albertros! etc, etc.") but yust before he went to each of us to say "sleap" he wispered to us "ok, play along and we'll have some fun here.".
My ilusions were shattered, I'd been realy looking falward to this and being a 17 year old I was intregued by the posibility of the x-ray specs routine.
This experience left me beliveing that there was no such thing as real hypnotisam and it was probably all trickery or just to build peoples confidence up. the question is however, is dose any one here have any real and profound experience of hypnotism actully working? have you had a past life regression done? if so did you just make something up, just to impress the hypnotist? dose anyone actuly beleave in hypnotysam, and want to try and convince be I'm wrong? or do you agree with my scepticisam here?
