Understanding the History of Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a very interesting subject and if you are interested in getting into it then you are first going to have to learn about the history of hypnosis. The history of hypnosis is very important to learn because you need to understand about what hypnosis is and what is involved with it.
The History
The history of hypnosis is one that goes back quite some time. There are a few persons in particular that are prominent in the history of hypnosis, one being John Elliotson who was an English physician that holds a chair at University College London, and who was disbarred from the medical profession because of his demonstrations of animal magnetism.
Then there was also the Marquis de Puysegur who was a pupil of Mesmers, and who entered into a state of sleep while being able to communicate with others. And, when he awoke, he was not able to remember anything that happened.
The history of hypnosis is one which must be understood by anyone who is interested in getting into the field and becoming a hypnotist themselves. Besides learning about the actual history of hypnosis, there are a few other things that you will need to be aware of as well.
One is that you always need to have the subject's consent. You should never try to trick someone or hypnotize them without their knowing, because this is a secret and covert form of hypnosis and is very disrespectful. The primary purpose of hypnosis is to help people and to help treat them of their habits and compulsions, and so it therefore only makes sense that you should have their full consent before going ahead with any type of hypnosis.
There are many things that you should know about hypnosis before considering yourself ready to go ahead with any subjects. And, you should feel totally comfortable with the subject of hypnosis before trying it out for yourself.
You should practice on your friends and family before doing it on anyone else, especially if you are planning to pursue it as a career. As long as you take your time and put in effort, and of course have patience, then you should have a lot of success with hypnotism and can even make quite a good living at it. Just remember that you should not get frustrated and should not ever get angry, even if you do not get it right away.
