1. HYPNOSIS – HOW DOES IT WORK?

2. HYPNOSIS
When we hear the word hypnosis, what’s the first
thing that comes to mind? Maybe it conjures up
images of people sitting in chairs and being told to
sleep or wake on command. Maybe you picture
yourself being in a deep, relaxing trance, hearing
the peaceful sound of imagined waves crashing
against an idyllic shore. Maybe it’s the words “when
you wake up, you will believe you’re a chicken!”

3. HOW DOES IT WORK?
There are many theories as how to hypnosis truly
works. Some people believe that a hypnotized
person is simply ‘playing the part’ of a hypnotized
person, others believe a person under hypnosis is
able to have their brain activity directly altered by
the hypnotist. Whatever theory you might believe,
the end result is always the same: we are
communicating with a person’s unconscious mind.

4. UNCONSCIOUS MIND
The unconscious mind is far more complex. The unconscious handles everything we aren’t aware
of. It monitors our heart rate, it tells us we need oxygen so we inhale. When we walk, it’s telling
us to put one foot in front of the other. It organizes all our previous thoughts and decisions and
makes new decisions based on them. Over time, our thoughts, opinions and decisions turn into
our beliefs. That’s why we get stubborn and more rigid in our beliefs as we get older. When
information is received by our unconscious, we are more likely to accept the information as true
as we believe “we” have decided it’s what’s best for us.

5. STAGE HYPNOSIS UNIVERSITY.
Most psychology experts believe that the unconscious mind is very difficult to access, and doing
so could cause all manner of problems. As hypnotists, we’ve learned that this is not true. Milton
Erickson was able to access the unconscious easily. So will you when you become a student of
Stage Hypnosis University.
The stage hypnotist is altering the participant’s perception based on their willingness to enter
hypnosis. Before the volunteer came onto the stage, he was just a viewer. Once he’s on the
stage, the hypnotist is changing his status from viewer to participant through their unconscious.
