I don't think I can be hypnotized


Listen Later

Can I really be hypnotized? 

 The answer is yes, except for a few exceptions. 

Hypnosis is actually a natural state of being. You move in and out of it all day long and in most of your life, you have been hypnotized. Your habits, beliefs, and thinking have been created by a form of hypnosis. 

Hypnosis is a relaxed state where you are susceptible to suggestions given to you and your subconscious mind. This is natural and it happens all the time. Your subconscious mind filters all of the things going on in your life. It determines what is important and what can be let go. 

In this episode, I discuss the characteristics of a person who can be hypnotized and those who can't. 

About 30% of the population is highly susceptible, which means they can be hypnotized easily. 

Now, even if you mildly hypnotizeable, you can still respond to hypnosis. We can hypnotize people with only a light trance.

Let me make this very clear. Hypnosis is not about losing control, on the contrary, it is about taking control of your thinking mind so that changes can take place…naturally.
