Hypnosis — A Modality Use For Good Or Otherwise
As Hypnotherapist we celebrated World Hypnosis Day on January 4, 2021.
I did a bit of reflecting of Hypnotherapist past and present. Interesting fact, when I first started delving into hypnotherapy I was fascinated and formed an immediate bond with it. It was used in ancient India and first documented by a sage called Brigu…I am Bridgelal. I figured that alone was an intuitive sign for me to pursue this modality. I had also experience it first hand after a life event that I was trying to take control of and it worked!
I was fascinated that you can change your perspective of life events for the future, break habits, cure fears and phobias and regress and resurrect past lives.
Hypnosis has had a shady past. We have seen throughout history stage hypnotist making people quack like a duck. Many past hypnotist were unsavory characters. Many people even today use Hypnosis and we don’t even recognize it.
In my opinion, the most popular use of Hypnosis in action today is by America’s 45th President, Donald Trump. The way he speaks when he slows down his speeches, the repetitive way he repeats words, the mesmerizing way he touches his hair, his body language when interacting with others and the list goes on.
Truly I only recognized this after being trained myself as a Hypnotherapist.
It was also said Adolf Hitler used Political Hypnosis.
What we need to remember is duality in life. There are also two sides and two paths. I am also a Project Manager and Project Management was founded and created to assist in the expedition of building Weapons of Mass Destruction for the US Government.
Now does that make Project Management and everyone who practices or is desperate to learn it a bad person with ulterior motives. No, no it doesn’t. Today it is a skillset that everyone should learn regardless of your career path.
It is the same with Hypnosis. It is a modality and tool that you should recognize when it is used, is it right for you (because it is not right for everyone), and work only with a Hypnotherapist you trust. Trust is the key word here!
