Why Nonbelievers Get Hypnotized Every Day (And They Don’t Even Know It)

You are a subject EVERY day.

When you ask someone whose only exposure to hypnosis comes from a television show if he thinks he can be hypnotized, you might very well get this answer:

“I don’t believe in hypnosis. Therefore, it won’t “work” on me.”

Maybe even you feel that way.

That belief is garbage. Sorry. Here’s why.

Everyone goes into trances.

Yes, even you. Even if you’ve never watched a hypnotist on YouTube. Even if you’ve never been to a relaxing hypnosis show.

Every time you chill out, you go into a trance. Whenever you lose all of the feeling in your body when you read a good book or watch your favorite movie, you’re hypnotized. And everyone slips into this comfortable state of mind as they daydream right before and after they sleep. Believe it or not, you are probably in a trance more often than you are fully aware, every day.

This is a brain function.

The ability to let go of your higher faculties and daydream is programmed into you. It takes effort to not go into a trance. There is nothing to believe or not have faith in. No matter how strange this looks, your mind works just like this on its own, all the time: (aff link)

Hypnosis is not magic.

The reality of a session or a show is quite different from the way it appears. No one can magically or supernaturally make your brain drop into a trance.  You can be helped into one at a time and in a place where it would not be natural for you to daydream. A wise hypnotist can help you do that with one or more induction and deepening methods.

A lot of not-so-wise hypnotists and misguided but well-meaning laypersons post lies on the Internet. Please ask me about the parts of hypnosis you have a hard time believing in as replies below.

Why Hypnosis Is A Fancy Word For Relaxation

Your brain floats into hypnosis.

Anxious.

Alert.

Hypnotized.

Asleep.

This is YOU. All day long. Your brain goes through all of these stages (also known as brain wave patterns) as you perform your daily activities.  That is normal.

However, this exchange might seem like it’s anything but normal (aff link).

Hypnosis is a state of relaxation

Every time you relax, you drop, effortlessly, into a trance. You don’t need to focus on induction and deepening methods. You do it very simply whenever you relax.

You hypnotize yourself

You chill out every time you’re not actively focusing on the world around you. Whenever you are calm, you are in a trance. You don’t need to be trained to achieve that state. Neither must you force your mind into submission. Couch potatoes hypnotize themselves all the time without ever needing to think about an induction.

Why you need a hypnotist

At this point, you might be wondering why you need someone to help you achieve this natural brain wave state. There are two answers to that question. The first one is that, sometimes, your conscious mind can override your desire to relax. When you are chronically stressed, or anxious or have insomnia, your brain temporarily loses its ability to alter its electric signals. It must be shown the way to do that by a professional.

The other time you need the help of a hypnotist is when you want to have specific ideas placed into your subconscious brain. Being in and going into a trance are not conscious activities. If you try to give yourself a series of posthypnotic suggestions while you are hypnotized,  you’re not going to have great success. You need the assistance of a wise person who is still actively thinking if you want to successfully receive lots of hints.

Why You Can (And Cannot) Change The Past

Don’t let old patterns hold you hostage.

Do you hate your past?

Do memories from when you were in school or growing up in your family bring you to tears?

Do you wish there was a reliable way to keep the past from harming you?

There is. And it’s easier to take advantage of it than you think.

You can’t change what happened yesterday.

No matter how much you want to. No one can go back in time to alter an event that bothers him in the present. You can have your conscious memories of that activity erased. That procedure will only make your pain worse. But that doesn’t matter because…

Your real problem is happening right now.

You are living in the present. The days, weeks and months of your life that came before this minute are gone. The events that took place back then cannot affect you unless you let them. Many people allow that to happen when they feel sad or angry. You do not have to live that way.

Living twice is not good for you.

When a day is over, you don’t get to live it all over again. Unfortunately, you can get its memories stuck in your mind in sad patterns. They are oddly comforting. They will ruin your ability to enjoy the experiences you are having right now.

The events of yesterday can be like a bounce house.

You can be led to see former events as trampolines. You can bounce from day to day. Memories do not need to be blankets. You can live free from the need to cuddle up with your former life.

A hypnotist (aff link) can help you change the way you see your past in a non-threatening way. Carefully worded posthypnotic suggestions can change the way your brain processes your memories. Please ask me questions about those topics as replies to this post.

IMPORTANT: There are hypnotists and hypnotherapists who claim to practice past life regressions. It should be noted that I do not believe in past lives or past life regression. It should also be noted that I do not support the practice of hypnotic reliving of memories. This can be very traumatic to the subject and is not something recommended by me or facilitated by Jnspire.

Why Hypnosis Takes Away Your Stress

Focus on the lights. Change your emotions.

Many people know that a hypnotist can take your tension away. If you’ve ever listened to a hypnosis video for stress relief (aff link), you know how much better you feel for hours afterward. Part of the reason why a movie like that works so well is because it gives you a posthypnotic suggestion to help you see your situation differently.

You see better.

Emotions stem from points of view. As a practical example, people feel different ways about going to the dentist. Some individuals dread it more than anything else. Others enjoy the opportunity to get their teeth professionally cleaned. This is true, even if all of those people see the same dentist for the same checkup.

It is not always possible for a hypnotist to change the experiences you have. What that individual can do is improve the way you see the activities of which you are a part. When you see something favorably, you will feel good about it.

You feel better.

You will never have great success when you try to change how you feel without altering how you see. You cannot bend your emotions to your will. They are neither logical nor deniable.

What a hypnotist can do is help you trade one emotional response for another. Your mind can be conditioned to stay calm while you are in the dentist’s chair. You will exchange feeling tense for feeling relaxed.

Lots of people wonder if posthypnotic suggestions can really change human emotional responses. If you have any questions about how these powerful hints work, I invite you to ask them as replies below.

If You Can Read This, You Can Be Hypnotized. No Joke.

If you can see and understand, you can be hypnotized.

Do you think you can’t be hypnotized?

Have you watched dozens of YouTube videos that test your susceptibility to hypnosis and failed every time?

Have hypnotists told you you can’t be put into a trance?

I have good news for you.

They’re wrong!

If you can read this, you can be led into a trance. This is why.

Anyone who can sleep can be led into a trance.

As you fall asleep, the electrical signals between your neurons slow down. This shift in pattern is directly correlated to a change in your level of consciousness. When you reach a point in the evening when you start to daydream about being in a beautiful place, you are in a trance. In order to understand what you read in this post, you need to have slept at some point in the past.

Anyone who can read can be lead into a trance.

When you peruse a book or a blog post, you block out the world around you and focus on the words. You enjoy the story. Your body relaxes. After an hour of reading, you may find you can’t remember any of what you saw. That’s because you’ve been in a light state of hypnosis.

Anyone who can see can be led into a trance.

You need to be able to be stimulated in order to be led into a hypnotic state. The majority of inductions involve mundane, repetitive signals. Any person who can comfortably see is hypnotizable.

Do you meet those qualifications, have watched or worked with dozens of hypnotists and STILL have never felt like you’ve gone into a trance? That’s ok! Because…

It’s not you. It’s them.

A wise hypnotist (aff link) can make a huge difference. A novice will be less able to pick up on your body language and more likely to tell you you can’t be lead into a relaxing state of hypnosis. An expert can gauge your brainwave activity from the pattern of your breaths and can drop you into a trance in 10 minutes. Remember, if you can fall asleep, you can be hypnotized.

While it is true that some people are more easily led into trances than others, it is false that certain folks can’t be hypnotized at all. Have questions about the difference? Ask them in the comment section!

The TMJ Relaxation Tips Your Doctor Will Never Mention

If you can’t relax, your teeth will look like this.

TMJ is caused by stress. Subconscious tension. This anxiety hovers below the surface when you are awake. You grind it out only while you sleep.

What Bruxism Is 

When you grind your teeth at night, you are taking a basic activity to the extreme. All of us move our jaws back and forth and up and down while we chew our food. Folks who do it at night when they are not processing food will eventually do tremendous damage to their teeth, jaws and oral tissues. If you wake up with aching gums and/or temples every morning, you are probably a grinder.

Break Down The Tension 

When you can completely relax multiple times a day, your jaw won’t be clenched. Soon, that won’t happen while you sleep. If you can relax your mouth, you can get rid of your bruxism.

Is that easier said than done? Would you be happy to relax on cue if it were at all possible? Good! Because…

There Is A Perfect Tool For Breaking Tension

Your mind can be encouraged to effortlessly relax your body. You can be given a button to push within your mind that will instantly make your entire body go limp and loose. You may get those benefits through hypnosis.

Activating The Tool

There are effective and inexpensive relaxation hypnosis (aff link) videos available that can help you to stop grinding. These movies will quickly help you to relax right before you go to bed. There are also shows available that can give you suggestions to calm down on cue.

There are many online resources that may help you cure your TMJ without the fear, discomfort or expenses that accompany traditional treatments. A wise hypnotist can also help you cure your bruxism by giving you a suggestion to keep your mouth open while you sleep.
