How to Dehypnotise Yourself Flashcards
How hypnosis differs from trance?
Hypnosis is a state of focused attention, heightened suggestibility, and deep relaxation. It is often induced by a hypnotist to help individuals access their subconscious mind, promote relaxation, and enhance suggestibility for therapeutic purposes. On the other hand, trance is a general term that refers to an altered state of consciousness characterised by a narrowed focus of attention and a heightened sensitivity to suggestion. Trances can occur naturally or be induced through various practices like meditation, repetitive activities, or rhythmic stimuli.
What is a trance?
Trance is a temporary mental condition in which someone is not completely conscious of and/or not in control of himself or herself.
How often are people getting hypnotised?
People are constantly getting hypnotized by things. Trance is a state of mind by interest affection that is completely natural.
Why negative trance is dangerous?
A negative trance is when the more a person resists the trance, the more powerful it becomes. Insomnia and anxiety are examples of bad trances.
Can trance be positive?
Yes. A positive trance is when a person deliberately puts attention on one object and stays with it. For example, meditation is a positive trance when a person deliberately uses breathing techniques to relax the body and clear up the mind.
What breaks down negative hypnosis?
Widening the context breaks down negative hypnosis. Reframing gets out of the trance state. Negative hypnosis generally comes from imagination. Usually, nothing wrong and dangerous is physically standing in front of someone experiencing a negative trance. Breaking trance like this is a skill of the frontal cortex which can be developed.
How to support a positive trance?
Embracing a challenge and being mindful supports a positive trance. Love is the ultimate, highest point of positive trance.
How to identify a trance?
High tension in the body and weird breathing characterise trance. A not tranced person tends to be comfortable and multitask. Relaxing muscles and taking a breath may help control yourself during the trance. Technique: take a deep breath and relax one muscle at a time.
