What is trance?
I agree with Gil - because it seems that he agrees with me! :-) Robert

How to bring someone out of Trance that isn't responding?
Although I like Stephen Gruber's idea of telling them you will charge them double, the simplest one is what John Cleesattel said - "If you don't come out when I tell you, you won't ever be able to re…

The REALLY good subject - Can You Pick Him/Her Out?
Simple - TEST! Every stage hypnotist does tests to see who will go well, and therapists who know what they're about will also perform tests. For the therapist though, they will use the results to de…

What is trance?
Hi there. I have to half-agree with Bob Burns near the beginning of this thread. I believe that we enter TRANCE all the time, but to be honest, there are many types of this (drug-induced, meditative…

Although I like Stephen Gruber's idea of telling them you will charge them double, the simplest one is what John Cleesattel said - "If you don't come out when I tell you, you won't ever be able to reach this state again". I've used it myself, and se…

Hi there.
I have to half-agree with Bob Burns near the beginning of this thread.
I believe that we enter TRANCE all the time, but to be honest, there are many types of this (drug-induced, meditative, watching TV), but there is only ONE trance that…
The Fourth Kind IS based upon a true story . . . sort of. There were disappearances in Nome and many of them were unexplained. Most of the folks who disappeared were native Americans. When the FBI investigated they found a number of common factors i…
And by the way, Robert, I applaud your method of keeping the client present and working toward resolution. What possible good can come of going back to a state of helplessness?
In defense of The Fourth Kind (not that I believe it's a true story or know any of the alleged facts behind it) when Dr. Tyler regressed the first client she was trying to uncover a sleep problem. The second regression was completely irresponsible,…
I loved Paranormal Activity even though I didn't get that scared. For my first horror movie, I was surprised. I'm using Paranormal Activity for inspiration for the book I'm writing. I love the stream of consiousness writing style...i'm so used to fr…
It's just a movie. If you want to see a really bad movie in terms of putting down hypnosis watch "The Hypnotic Eye" if you can find it. I though "Paranormal Activity" was the better of the two films out now.
With apologies again to Jaynes ,,,, As craptastic (new word thank you Brian) as this picture is.. It will soak into the collective cognitive conciosness of the species and some people will adopt it as valid representations of what goes on in hypnosi…
so I went last night to see the movie, and I think they did a good enough job portaying hypnosis to really scare people. I've heard that the "real footage" was fake and after watching this, I believe they are staged. Its a Blair Witch situation.

Unfortunately, I've encountered quite a few individuals who disprove that distinction . . .
Actually I think it was said quite well in "Men in Black"
Edwards: Why the big secret? People are smart. They can handle it.
Kay: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.

Dennis,
Any time I'm puzzled by human behavior, I remember an important observation someone much smarter than I once made. It really explains myriad confusing situations. It can be stated thus:
People
Are
Stupid . . .
Explains a lot, doesn't i…
My wife was looking at going to the movie the other day, and she came across an internet preview of this movie. As soon as we began watching the preview, I knew that I had absolutely no interest in seeing the movie.
Based on that preview, I would r…
Hello again Kyle,
Looking back I probably overlooked my intended point. Hypnosis from someone else is FAR more effective than self-suggestion in my experience. My case is based on the concept that somnambulism and the Esdaile state can't be employed…

You brought her up Jesus, but I get it. Best of luck in aquiring your 'mad skillz':

Suggestion is all it is.
Whether it’s NLP Hypnosis EFT Chinosis Symbolism, the bedrock of everything is suggestion.
Suggestion in psychology is the process of inducing a thought, sensation, or action in a receptive person without using persuasion…

Hey Jay, Listen, Im not telling you to beleive, use, or apply anything, I'm asking HOW CAN I do it, not how can YOU do it. Please Ian, try not to post more unuseful comments.
Adrian, Im not talking about how to seduce women or how to talk them, I a…
