The Swiss psychiatrist, Carl Jung said, "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."

You can achieve anything and everything in your life if you know what you want. When you can program your mind towards achievement then everything is possible in this world. Hypnotism is one of the means by which you can program your mind for success. It breaks some of the bad habits, phobias and practices that become the stumbling block towards your success.

When people hear about hypnotism they are scared as there are several myths and misconceptions associated with this practice. But before we look into it, let us know what the hypnotism means.

The words 'hypnosis' and 'hypnotism' both derive from the term "neuro-hypnotism" (nervous sleep) coined by the Scottish physician and surgeon James Braid around 1841 to distinguish his theory and practice from those developed by Franz Anton Mesmer and his followers ("Mesmerism" or "animal magnetism") {Wikipedia}.

“The word hypnosis is derived from the Greek word hypnos, meaning sleep.... hypnotism is a means of bringing on an artificial state of sleep to the participant ...more accurately described as a state of reduced consciousness while one is a awake { www.letusreason.org }.

Story of an Elephant:

When a baby elephant was tied with a thick rope, it tried its best to break the rope. Subsequently, the thick rope was replaced by a thin rope and the baby elephant tried again to unshackle. It tried, but in vain, thinking that it was a thick rope and it could not break the rope. As the baby elephant grew big it was tied with the same thin rope. It could have easily broken it but failed to break it because of its previous failed experiments and experiences. Our minds are also programmed with several such failures and we think that it is not possible as we are conditioned like that. In is here, hypnotism helps to break such habits of failure thereby infusing fresh confidence and optimism towards life and success.

Ask the subject to lie down, allow him/her to relax. Ask him/her to close his/her eyes then encourage the subject to take a few deep breaths. The objective of this entire exercise is to clear the clutter from the mind of the subject for desired outcome.

Similarly, if the subject has certain phobias then use appropriate techniques accordingly. The procedure is same but the instructions depend on the type of problem to be addressed.
