Yes, it's very possible. At least here in Norway, it's used as a form of therapy to help smokers quit smoking, help curing phobias, help overweight people, and more. |

Yes, it is a scientifically verified state of consciousness. |

It is a very viable form of therapy, it's not the hyped up hocus-pocus you see in films. Like Juroara said, you cannot be hypnotised into doing something you don't want to do and you need to want and be receptive to the hypnosis for it to work. |

For example hypnotising someone into not feeling pain seems like something to be hyped about. Not just because of the implications, also by giving us more to work with when researching the human mind. |

When I said no "the hyped out hocus pocus you see in films" I eant the sort of film in which the bad guy with the big moustache hypnotizes the good guy into killing a train-full of people regardless of the fact that the good guy had no wish to do so/be hypnotized. |

Ok, I reckon hypnotised subjects do not remember what happened when they were hypnotised. But is there a way to know if things they do/say/choose when hypnotised are conscious? What defines what is said when the person is hypnotised? Is it always what the person would think, or does the person's mind make up a likely or impulsive response? Finally, can the person remember what happened when he/she was hypnotised, much like dream recalling? |

Saying quantum physics explains cognitive processes is just like saying geology explains jurisprudence.
You reckon wrong. Hypnotic amnesia is very rare - another popular misconception. |

COOOOOOOOOOOOL xD |

Ayuh. I've been hypnotised for insomnia. I've self-hypnotised for a few things, like quitting drinking, procrastinating, etc. It is good if you can have the self-discipline to put yourself under everyday. |

I've studied hypnosis. It mainly relies on the persons belief that he/she can be hypnotised. It's pretty easy to hypnotise someone. you just half to get them relaxed while you give suggestions in a calming voice. it also helps if you are relaxed as well. |

I've studied hypnotism but am not that good at all kinds. But there are different kinds of hypnotism. Basically hypnotism is sugestion. Hypnotism is inducing a state of trance. We are in a trance whenever we are not lucid in waking or dreaming. While driving a car, for example, it is very hard not to go into trance. Anyone can be hypnotized whether they want to or not except the very very aware or enlightened. Hypnotism is a great tool for therapy and guided meditation. But hypnosis is differnet then TRUE meditation where the meditator is in an extremely lucid state. Advertisments make use of hypnotism and salesman do also. Here is an example: |

The extent that hypnotism is 'real' is an issue of much debate. Some people do honestly believe that it puts the subject in an 'altered state' of consciousness. Many others agree that there is probably no altered state, but just higher suggestibility, to an extent. Also, many people play along with hypnotists to either prevent themselves or the hypnotist from suffering embarassment. Hypnosis can also act as a placebo - people expect to be hypnotised, and therefore act as if hypnotised. |

Chickens are really easy to hypnotise. We've got some, and all you have to do is stroke their crowny things for a bit and they stop moving for a while. No really. |
|
i wouldn't doubt that much of the entertainment value of hypnosis is placebo, and the embarrassment factor, but i think it's pretty clear that hypnosis is capable of putting someone (who allows themselves to be hypnotized) in an altered state of mind (alpha and theta range) |
