Hypnosis is defined as an induced state of consciousness where a person loses the power of voluntary action and is highly responsive to suggestion. There are four main types of hypnosis: traditional, self, NLP, and Ericksonian. Hypnosis can be used clinically to treat conditions like phobias, smoking cessation, anxiety, and more. While most people can be hypnotized, those with psychosis or a low IQ may not respond well. The advantages of hypnosis include relaxation, pain management, lifestyle changes, and overcoming addictions and fears.
A relaxation technique (also known as relaxation training) is any method, process, procedure, or activity that helps a person to relax; to attain a state of increased calmness; or otherwise reduce levels of pain, anxiety, stress or anger.
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a treatment for certain mental illnesses. During this therapy, electrical currents are sent through the brain to induce a seizure.
The procedure has been shown to help people with clinical depression. It’s most often used to treat people who don’t respond to medication.

The Truth Behind Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a altered state of awareness that results in extreme relaxation. When your body and mind is in an extremely state of relaxation, your subconscious is in a highly receptive state. This means that suggestion while you're in that state can produce significant behavioral and other changes.
This means, hypnosis has the potential to significantly change your life for the better. It can rid you of self limiting beliefs, thoughts and behaviors and help you achieve goals that until now, have seemed unachievable.
In this book you can learn about all the different ways that hypnosis can change your life and how you can get started with it.
Hypnosis therapy is a form of psychological treatment that is used to induce certain unconscious changes in a patient. These changes can take the form of new reactions, thoughts, attitudes, feelings, or even changes in behavior.
As the name suggests, hypnotherapy is carried out with the help of hypnosis. Thus, the hypnotized person shows unusual behavioral characteristics such as an increased ability to react compared to non-hypnotized persons. One thing to understand is that hypnotherapy is performed and should only be performed by medically trained hypnotherapists. Some people use hypnosis to make other people vulnerable. It is a serious offense.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

3. DEFINITION
OR
The induction of state of consciousness in
which a person apparently losses the
power of voluntary and is highly
responsive to suggestion or directions
Hypnosis is a relaxing, naturally occurring
state of mind which happens to us
everyday. Each time we read a novel, take a
nap or see a movie, we are in a natural
state of hypnosis.
4. INTRODUCTION
• The word “hypnosis” and
“hypnotism” both derive
from the term “neuro-
hypnotism” (nervous-sleep)
coined by the Scottish
surgeon James Braid around
1841.
5. INTRODUCTION CONT.
Braid described “hypnotism” as a
state of physical relaxation
accompanied and induced by mental
concentration (“abstraction”)
6. INTRODUCTION CONT.
A heightened state of suggestibility, such that the
suggestions given are accepted as being true and
effect the beliefs, habits, perceptions and
behaviors of an individual in varying degrees
according to the depth of hypnosis established.
7. INTRODUCTION CONT.
• Contrary to a popular misconception – that
hypnosis is o form of unconsciousness
resembling sleep – contemporary research
suggests that it is actually a wakeful state of
focused attention and heightened suggestibility
with diminished peripheral awareness.
8. INTRODUCTION CONT.
Deeper levels of hypnosis enable the hypnotized
individual to experience greater hypnotic
phenomenon such as light states being able to
create catalepsy by suggestion, and deeper states
allowing the individual to experience amnesia,
anesthesia, and hallucinations.
10. MODIFIED SLEEP THEORY
• The Modified Sleep Theory' Was Posited By Dr. James
Braid, One Of The Founding Fathers Of Modern
Hypnotherapy (Circa 1820's). The Premise Is That
Through The Fixating Of Attention One Drifts Into A
State Similar To Sleep (Which He Called Nervous Sleep)
But Not Actual Sleep, Where (As In The Dream State)
Personal Reality Is Not Confined By Logic And Existing
Beliefs Might Be Challenged.
11. CONDITION REFLEX THEORY
• Pavlov's Theory Or The 'Conditioned Reflex Theory'
Suggests That Hypnosis Results From Proximity
Conditioning. For Example Repeating The Word 'Sleep‘ Or
'Relax' Accesses The Stored Response To Sleep Or Relax .
12. SOCIAL ROLE THEORY
• This Hypothesis Was Championed By Psychologist Robert
Winthrop White (Harvard Professor Of Clinical
Psychology) Who Outlined It In The 1941 Edition Of 'The
Journal Of Abnormal And Social Psychology'. The Basic
Premise Is That There Is A Tendency For People To Act
Out The Role That Is Expected Of Them And That The
Results Of Hypnosis Correspond Directly To A Persons
Understanding And Expectation Of It. This Is Allied With
13. TYPES OF HYPNOSIS
There are four main types of hypnosis that are used in
today’s society to hypnotize another person or to
hypnotize one’s self. Each type of hypnosis varies in terms
of use and practice. The main common denominator
between the four types of hypnosis is that they all begin
with some sort of hypnotic induction, such as fixed eye
induction or counting backwards to induce a hypnotic
state.
14. TYPES OF HYPNOSIS
Traditional hypnosis
Self hypnosis
NLP hypnosis
Ericksonian hypnosis
Evil Hypnosis
15. TRADITIONAL HYPNOSIS
• Traditional hypnosis is when the hypnotist puts the subject into a
hypnotic trance and then tells the subject what to do by giving
direct commands and suggestions. Traditional hypnosis has
received some bad press over the years and unfortunately some of
it is justified. There have been many stories of actors and stooges
playacting in the performance, and at the other extreme people
have become stuck in a hypnotic state of terror unable to fully
awaken. Having said this traditional hypnosis can be a fun and
effective tool when used by an experienced hypnotist
17. SELF HYPNOSIS CONT.
• Self hypnosis (also known as auto hypnosis) is a self induced form
of hypnosis and usually involves the subject learning a set of
procedures, or following a recording or some other form of media.
A hypnotist will often teach or recommend self-hypnosis to their
patients. It can also be used for relaxation and has been compared
with meditation. The uses of self-hypnosis are very similar to
those of hypnotherapy and can be used to combat psychological
problems like phobias, addictions, stress and other psychological
problems
19. N L P
* NLP hypnosis (neuro-linguistic programming) is another form of
hypnosis similar to self hypnosis but concentrates more on peoples
behaviors.
* NLP hypnosis is used to tackle psychological or behavioral
problems or to simply improve ones sense of well being. It is a great
tool for motivation and improving self confidence, although again it
is unclear in the scientific community exactly what NLP is or how it
works.
21. ERICKSONIAN HYPNOSIS CONT.
It is also known as conversational hypnosis or covert hypnosis,
Ericksonian hypnosis is when a subject can be hypnotized within a
normal conversation, often without the subject realizing they are
being hypnotized at all.
Ericksonian hypnosis or conversational hypnosis was started by the
hypnotherapist dr. Milton h. Erickson, who learnt to use his speech
so effectively after becoming paralyzed and seriously ill himself.
After contracting polio at the age of 17 he was essentially bed
ridden for long periods, but during this time he learnt the
significance of non-verbal communication - things
22. ERICKSONIAN HYPNOSIS CONT.
This form of hypnosis can be used on those who are skeptical about
hypnotherapy or more traditional hypnosis, and has been said to be
more effective on those who are more skeptical. It can be used by
therapists during conversation and bypasses the traditional stage
where a hypnotist will 'induce trance' before performing their work,
although according to Erickson the patient will still enter this trance
like state, but it will happen within a few second using clever
hypnotic language and techniques during normal conversation.

Hypnosis . Permanent Change To
Our Personality Occurs Only When
