If you asked random people on the street, most would tell you either they have never been hypnotized, or that they can’t be hypnotized. Nothing could be further from fact. People have been hypnotizing us our entire lives, and continue to do so on a daily basis.

Hypnosis can be defined as communicating directly with the subconscious mind to effect a change or install or reinforce a thought or behavior.

Parents are usually our best hypnotists. Most of us have seen a stage hypnotist grab someone by the arm yell sleep, and they go into a deep trance. Have you ever heard your parents say "Stop that this instant", and found yourself instantly complying with their wishes? Every child instantly recognizes "the look" a mother can give from the other side of the room, that had better instantly change their behavior. This is anchoring!

Here is an experiment for you. Find two children. Praise the first one every day. Tell them how smart they are. How witty they are. How funny they are. How nothing can stop them. Shower the second with constant ridicule and criticism. Tell them they are worthless. Show them you don’t care about them. Tell them they are too dumb for that. Tell them no one likes them because they are fat, ugly, or their eyes are the wrong color. Then observe how they turn out in 18 years.

Or you can fast forward and get the results now. Visit a prison and interview the inmates. Which group did they belong to? Stop by a medical school and ask the students which one they were. I have no doubt a noticeable trend will emerge.

Our subconscious acts as a filter. When we hear something enough times it takes it as truth and we act accordingly. Luckily, these things we have been subjected to can be changed quickly and efficiently with purposeful direct hypnosis.

Advertisers make extensive use of hypnosis. They force your subconscious mind to associate their product with what they portray in the ad. Alcohol commercials are a good example. Here’s the typical ad. It is either a party or a bar. Everyone is laughing, dancing, well dressed, and smiling. You are surrounded by your friends having a wonderful time. The message is that you can have this with "Flintstone Beer."

Why do you think car commercials take place on wide open country roads not bumper to bumper traffic? Buy this car and get freedom from the rat race. Advertisers also want you to associate the item with their brand name. You would understand what I wanted if I asked for a Kleenex, or asked you to Xerox something. Because these name brands have been pounded into our subconscious, we instantly recognize them as synonyms.

Now for the moral. Everyone has been hypnotized. We have all been in a trance (think daydream). Many of us just never considered it hypnosis. Hypnosis is not only performed by men in capes with handlebar mustaches swinging a pocket watch, or a yogi guru in the Himalaya mountains. It has been used since the beginning of time. Isn’t it time to begin using such a powerful tool with intent and purpose as opposed to going through our daily lives completely oblivious that something fantastic lies mere inches beneath the surface?
