It is amazing how even in this day and age people still have the most warped and primitive ideas about hypnosis. Of all the things we have learned and are more aware of, hypnosis seems to lag behind. The strange thing is that if the word hypnosis was not mentioned, noone would have an issue with it. Guided imagery, visualization, positive thinking, meditation with a focused intent and even prayer are all the same processes as what hypnosis is. And the word itself was termed in 1843 by Dr. James Braid, yes, an MD, not some wizard.
World Hypnotism Day was started to spread the truth and benefits of hypnotism to the world while removing the myths and misconceptions. Though WHD is on January 4th, the website with free reports and hypnosis audio samples is available all year long. Go to World Hypnotism Day and learn what hypnosis is and how it can help you.
BTW – for WHD 2008 27 mayors around the USA & Canada proclaimed January 4th World Hypnotism Day. And they weren’t hypnotized to do it. : )
