Hypnotism ..

[Leeana]

I've been meaning to post this buy i have been busy working on my Binder for FFA the past two weeks every night.

This week was FFA week at school, well Wensday we had a hypnotist at school. He was the hypnotist who was at FFA nationals and hypnotized my Ag. teacher. So we thought it would be a nice thing to have him come to school for FFA week and perform for the whole school. His name is Dr Jim Wand (www.hypnotism.com <<if the link doesnt work, i will fix it but i think thats his site). He was hillarious, and i have to admit i was a bit skeptical going into it. But he took about 5 teachers up on stage (including my Ag. teacher who he hypnotized at Nationals) and about 15 students including one of my friends. I didnt want to get up on stage, because i would have spilled every bad thing i had done in my life

He did allot of the stuff he did at nationals (i think *MiniSeason* has seen him before, im pretty sure she was at FFA nationals). Well one of the last things he did was do a little American Idol type of thing. He picked our principal and told him he was Elvis Presly and he started singing and dancing. Then my Ag. Teacher, made him think he was Shania Twain, so Z (my ag teacher) rolled up his shirt and started dancing and then a kid i didnt know thought he was simon cowell. But if you know our principal and Z ...they would HAVE to be hypontized to even think about doing half the things they did.

What got me, was he was telling people to do all these things. And he told them all to follow his voice commands when they were first getting into the hypnotized state, well he told them to fall forward when he counted to 5. When he said 5 i jumped forward and then stopped myself. lol i dont have any idea what happened, i just shot forward. That was all i really did thought, it wasnt anything big. I seen a couple students watching who did a few small things from time to time though to so i felt better :bgrin.

Afterward he said that if we wanted to we could come up to him and he said that if there was anything we wanted to work on, like stop eating as much, stop biting nails ext he would hypnotize us for it. He only got about 15 people because most people just wanted to leave and get home (this was at the end of the day). I asked him if he could hypnotise me so i would worry less. He spent a couple minutes with me and i came out of it and felt all fuzzy inside. I can honestly say that i have been so relaxed this week. Now i wish i would have gotten my nail biting habbit taken care of as well.

But i am now a beleiver!

Anyone else ever gone through anything like this?

I know allot of people think these people are a scam when you hear these commercials on the radio saying they will hypnotise you and make you quit smoking, drinking, eating ext. But it works, i will stand behind this my whole life and i think it is worth the money!

Heee hee :lol:, the hypnotists always seem to put on a great show no matter who they are. The reason you found yourself doing some of the same things is that you probably went under while the rest of them were being inducted. That means that while you are very suggestible you are also very intelligent. I've heard it said that it's imposssible to hypnotize those with low IQ's and mental disabilities. Hypnosis does work very well for some people to help them stop smoking overeating etc. but what some people fail to realize is that hypnosis won't work unless it is something you are already willing to do. There is no magic to it and you can't be hypnotized if you don't want to be.

There was nothing those folks didn't do on stage that was against their prinicples or beliefs and it gives some perhaps "straight laced" folks like your principal a chance to do something silly without having to take the responsiblitiy for doing it, after all he was hypnotized. The hypnotist could not have commanded a single one to harm another. It's not like mind control or anythng like that but it is a very useful tool from everything from pain control to the silly antics you witnessed. Even psychologists and other mental health professionals use it but they like to call it "guided imagery" because the term hypnosis does have some negative connotations due to the people who sensationalize it by doing the shows and demonstrations.

I have a very good friend who doesn't do shows but she does have her own clinic for smoking cessation and overeating and makes a very good living at it. She once gave me a wonderful cassette tape of relaxation suggestions but my ancient cassette recorder died a long time ago so I should bug her for a CD version--note to self. Anyway, the stage show are great fun but where they really make their money is after the show when a whole lot of people come to him or her afterwards to make appointments to quit smoking and over eating.
