Welcome to the Fellowship of Christian Hypnotists.

Is Hypnosis A Joke? Absolutely not. Hypnosis is simply magnified concentration attached to a belief system. Is it really possible to be someone else, or act a certain way, just because of a suggestion? 

Ever been married? Then you have your answer. All kidding aside. Continue...

Meditation - hypnosis - positive thinking, the power of the mind.... what ever you want to call it is up to the individual. No one has the power to walk up to a stranger on the street and without warning say SLEEP and they fall to the ground in an uncontrolled trance.  

Hypnosis has been around for many years but no one really knows how to classify it, as it's not a medicine, drug, a religion, or even a cure.  Most people have to see something before they can believe it but with hypnosis there's nothing physical to see because everything is happening in the mind. 

Hypnosis has a long history throughout the history of mankind, but it's not accepted by everyone.  Many people will never see hypnosis for being anything more than a cheap form of entertainment but hypnosis has created a loyal following, who believe that the process works.  Ironically, the only people that can give a true assessment of hypnosis, are the subjects .... but why believe them, they're in a trance right? 

So if hypnosis is not cultic, nor demonic then is it Christian? It is none. It is simply magnified concentration by the individual attached to the believers choice of a strong belief system. If you choose to believe something then it becomes part of your belief system. If someone tells you that it is wrong for a person to choose what they want to believe then every religion, every educational facility, every radio and TV organization including the film industry is wrong and all are guilty of controlling peoples minds.  Give me a brake! Surely you the reader must realize that you are choosing right now to read this web site, not because I sent you a brain wave and controlled you to come to my web site and that I am forcing you to read this with you having control over your will. If that is happening then you will send all your savings to me as soon as you leave this web site! Where is the common sense! People who believe that hypnosis is a power are probably the same people who believe that the magic of a magician, or what is known as an illusionist, is real too! Hello! Anyone listening? If the magic was real then magicians would not need semi-tractor trailers to haul there illusions around the country! They are simply BOXES for gosh sakes, yet through their creative talent they are able to help you and I to create an evening of mystery in our minds and what we call it magic. Yet, the fact remains, that there will always be a group that chooses to believe that the magic is real and there will always be a group that chooses to accept that it is simply entertainment. The fact still remains true today that people would rather believe in their fears than in the truth! There will be those who believe hypnosis is real, (and we do have medical documentation that shows that the mind and body does respond to what we call hypnosis) and there will be those who believe it is just made up.

Even the Bible tells us:
(John 8:32 KJV) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
(John 8:36 KJV) If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

The question arises: Is the mind so weak that a total stranger could infiltrate your consciousness and control it.  It sounds so unbelievable, but then again, the whole basis of hypnosis is your willingness to believe.  Many will say, "If you open the door to your mind, there's no telling who might come in. " Again are you saying that a person is so weak that a person, thing, demon, spirit or other form of agent can have access to that persons soul? Can you please define the word "door". Where did you learn about a door. We are talking about the human brain. Hypnosis is the term we use that is really the science to how the mind works.

Is hypnosis just another word for mind control?  Hypnosis is stated as a psychological condition in which an individual is put into an unconscious state also called a trance.  Once in the trance, suggestions are given to the individual and the person is supposed to act on the suggestions either during the hypnosis session or after he or she is released from the session, the trance the what ever you want to call it.  Apparently, being put in a so called trance is not a requirement because some people can receive their suggestions without being in an unconscious state. The fact is people are easily influence by those around them. Some, have a stronger influence on them than others because the person simply allows it to be that way. Point: People will follow people faithfully until that person makes them mad or disappoints them, now that same person no longer wants to follow, or be with that person. Example: ever heard of two people who were once in love now they are going through a divorce. Well, something changed. There belief system in one another.

So who are these people with the power to control your mind?  Are their powers genetic or just some special gift that very few people have?  The people mostly associated with hypnosis are called hypnotists and frankly, anyone can learn to be a hypnotist because it doesn't require a degree.  There are sites, all over the internet, with people trying to sell their "how to be a hypnotist" information.  But there is a more professional version of the hypnotist and they're called Hypnotherapist. Hypnotherapists attend classes and are trained and certified by a group of hypnotists in the use of hypnosis.  

What is happening when someone is in a trance, session, altered state of mind etc......, are they sleeping, dreaming or is it an act?  The person under hypnosis, is called the subject.  When the subjects are what many call "under hypnosis", they are actually more concentrated and focused than they've ever been.  The focus is so enhanced that the subjects can temporarily forget certain aspects of their lives, like dreaming, they are simply able to use their mind to create their own chosen dream.  Being under hypnosis can bring about feelings of heaviness, lightness and numbness, joy and excitement.  Some subjects feel like, they're just observing what is happening, without actually being a part of it. Our mind has the ability to do what we call dreaming, which allows our body to respond to what we visualize during that dream mode. In hypnosis, the same thing is taking place.

Many benefits can be achieved, by using hypnosis.  Hypnosis can be used as a way to help people better understand themselves.  It's also used to help the individual to terminate bad habits, recover past memories that they have blocked out, to reduce anxiety and to overcome certain disorders that were created by the individual in their own minds.  On the health side, hypnosis can also be used to help the individual to reduce their pain associated with medical procedures, such as childbirth and burn treatments etc.  It's also helpful in surgery, when anesthesia is not appropriate. Self hypnosis is something we all experience from time to time. I leave you with this, have you ever daydreamed? Well, that too is a form of what we call hypnosis! Enjoy life and choose your choices for your life well, for they determine the YOU and the results you get out of life. I wish you the best.
