RE: Can You Be Hypnotized To Not See Something?

in #science7 years ago

This is awesome. I tried myself weight loss hypnosis back in 2011, and it worked! I used to think that meditation and hypnosis where the same thing, so maybe meditation could have a tremendous effect on hypnosis. As a scientist, I had to try it myself, which is why I taught my mind to get rid of any thoughts for at least 10 minutes every day (or to meditate) and I learned that meditation keeps your mind in a awareness state while hypnosis didn't. But who knows, very interesting post!

Yeah, apparently hypnosis is a state analogous to one of the early stages of sleep. So it makes sense that it would be a state lacking awareness as we lose that as we enter sleep.

Exactly
