Hypnosis & The
Beyond
I know a little
bit about hypnosis, MORE than a little bit, in fact. Based on my
own experiences,
the premise of this story can EASILY happen if you believe in ghosts. Granted, it was just a movie, and I know
the ideas were exaggerated greatly for effect and entertainment.
For those of you
that don't know, hypnosis is nothing more of a way to relax the body,
and speak directly to the subconscious mind. There are no magical
spells or drugs or anything. It's just you and your mind. The hypnotist
talks to you, and YOU choose to listen, or not to listen. You CANNOT be
hypnotized if you're completely unwilling.
I've
never been hypnotized. I'd like to, and I've allowed people to TRY to
hypnotize me, but it always fails. The reason why it fails is because I
analyze EVERYTHING. They talk me through the relaxation techniques, and
then they get me visualizing things, and that's where things go wrong.
I try to do what's asked of me, but I find my mind straying, thinking
about, 'Wow, that was a good idea,
I'm going to try that the next time I hypnotize somebody.' Maybe
someday I'll be able to stop
trying to learn, and just
allow it to happen. Who knows?

I'm still on the
fence on the subject of using
hypnosis as a tool in dealing with paranormal situations. On one hand,
using it to get someone to remember an event that happened long ago
could be very helpful. On the other hand, could a doorway be opened in
someones mind that could cause problems down the road like it did in
the film? Although my recklessness would allow someone to hypnotize me
to be more 'open-minded', I have to admit that I'd have a problem with
subjecting someone else to that sort of thing. |

Up
until now, there have been no
documented reports of any type of
supernatural or paranormal occurrences during hypnosis. I suppose they
happen, and people just don't report them. I really haven't publicly spoken of mine until
now.
The mind is a very powerful thing. When
you're in a hypnotic trance, I can tell you pretty much anything I
want, and you'll believe me. So, what if I tell you that if there
are ghosts or spirits in the room, you can see them, and communicate
with them freely? Would you REALLY see them?
I can't answer that question. I've never given someone
that suggestion, and I don't plan to.
