Hypnosis. There's no real, specific definition for it. There's not an easy way to explain it or describe it. Yet most mentalists and people who have had experience with this mysteriously powerful force will agree that it definitely exists. So why are there people who don't believe in it? And why does that disbelief challenge the effect on hypnosis if it's proven that hypnosis works? All of the reasons behind hypnosis, i.e. brainwaves, subconscious, etc. don't amount to anything if the person being hypnotized doesn't entertain the notion of it. We all know the mind is more powerful than the body, and it doesn't take the Matrix to prove it. With moms lifting cars off their children and people walking on fire and glass, it's easy to see that humans can do anything they put their mind too (in a realistic sense of the phrase, of course).
So here are my questions for discussion today. Listen closely, and think about your answers for a while.
1. What makes hypnosis so powerful? Be it confidence, willpower, or whatever else you can think of, how is it possible to control another person's body?
2. Which brings me to my next question - Is hypnosis really controlling another person's body? Or is it just tricking someone into thinking they are under some kind of influence?
3. Why do some people still not believe in hypnosis?
4. Why does disbelief affect the strength of hypnosis?
Have fun, kids.
