In the past week we have in Psychology learned about Alternate States of Awareness such as hypnosis and meditation, and to conclude our project there was a hypnotist at our high school this Tuesday, his name was Dr. Wand or something like that. Anyway, I wanted to try to get hypnotized by him, which was an incredible experience that I think that everyone should try. What was so cool about it was first of all it was so relaxing, but what I found even more interesting was that I was in fully control all the time, there was no time of the hypnosis that he could make me do anything I didn't want to. I only did weird and embarrassing stuff (like river dancing and giving birth) because i wanted to, I felt it was the right thing to do, even though hundreds of people where starring at me, I got a feeling of letting go of all my worries and concerns about what my embarrassing actions might later led to.
A lot of the people I was hypnotized with didn't remember anything afterwards, but I almost clearly remember the whole day, and the nice thing is that I don't feel embarrassed about my actions, I just feel it as having a lot of fun.
So if you guys ever get the chance or want to experience with hypnosis my advice would be to Buy the ticket, take the ride |
Thanks for this account. I always wondered what it's like from this perspective. I still wonder how the other subjects don't remember anything, unless they are going along with the gag. Did the hypnotist use all of his volunteers, or were there any "bad" subjects. Also, did the hypnosis take place in a private quiet room, or out in front of everyone. Finally, was the Alpha state of hypnosis comparable to your own meditations?
