There’re a lot of clever movies involving hypnosis.
Some of them involve a hypnotist giving somebody a suggestion, but then the hypnotist dies, leaving the poor subject unable to snap out it.
One particularly funny one involved Jim Carrey before he became a superstar.
He played the part of the subject. He, an ultra rich guy, was at a club with his girlfriend.
They were at a hypnosis show, and they hypnotist hypnotized him into talking like a chicken.
Then the hypnotist dropped dead from a heart attack.
Three years later, Jim Carrey’s character was no longer rich. He was broke, homeless, and still clucking like a chicken.
This is both unrealistic, but also terrifying realistic.
Unrealistic in that you can’t really hypnotize somebody against their will, especially to the extent that they’d cluck like a chicken for three years.
On the other hand, most people spend their ENTIRE LIVES under some kind of hypnotic trance.
Trances they’ve learned when they were kids.
We’ve all accepted suggestions like, “speaking in front of others is scary.” Or “making money is difficult.”
The reason it doesn’t seem like hypnosis is BECAUSE these seem so real.
But unlike hypnosis in the movies, real hypnosis (the limiting kind) happens slowly.
Technically, it’s a lot more like brainwashing than hypnosis.
We didn’t go into a trance and somebody said, “From now on, every time you get up in front of others to speak, you’ll get nervous!”
We learn from plenty of experiences, and once that belief is set, it’s hard to undo, since it SEEMS so real.
Luckily, there are plenty of ways to undo our own hypnosis, and undo the debilitating trances on those around us.
The truth is that all of us go in and out of trances all the time.
In fact, you can look at one of the main purposes of our brains as “trance machines.”
It’s VERY DIFFICULT (and uses a lot of energy) to keep our brains a hundred percent focused on all of the technical details around us.
We NEED to slip into trances to maintain our sanity.
This means if you are the one CREATING those trances, you can have a lot of fun.
Most of the time our trances (TV, social media, etc) are just situations where we turn our brains off.
But if you learn to lead people’s minds during their daily trances, you can make them feel a lot better.
And help them to make MUCH BETTER choices.
What will you help them choose?
