Hypnosis in the news

>> "his means the procedure has partially worked; I'm probably slightly above average on the hypnotisability scale, says Oakley. Had I been in the 10 per cent of people who are highly hypnotisable I would have ceased to hear the traffic and been unable to lift my leg at all."

Unfortunately this growing problem is not limited to England. As if I did not have enough competition already...

It shows the pointlessness of organisations whose purpose is to make a list and sell you a newsletter.

Last time I looked there were 98 hypnotherapy bodies and orgs in the UK. That was quite a few years back.

Good hypnotic stare though.

She has some nerve!

She is completely wrong !!!! I usually blatter them round the back of the head with a hefty plank of wood. Especially those who are sitting at bus stops.

"As practicing clinical hypnotherapists, we know that hypnotic inductions essentially "bore" the client or lull him into a deeply relaxed state, not unlike the state that rocking produces in babies. Our vocal cadence produces a metering effect that safely slows the client's brainwave patterns and helps him to enter a light alpha state."

I've found that holding a gun to someone's head works much faster than lulling them into sleep. Alternatively, spraying them with hydrogen cyanide works rather quickly, too, and results in a much more stable sleep-like state. People I give this treatment to can't be brought out of that state as long as I wish to keep it going, and even beyond that. Admittedly, I stopped using hydrogen cyanide after they put me in jail. Food's nice here, though, so I win anyway.

"marauding bands of hypnotists knocking out little old ladies sitting on a street bench waiting for a bus"

That's nothing.

While those amateurs were fooling around thinking they were hot stuff I was already making national headlines. You know Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky? I orchestrated that.

Vagus nerve stimulation is nothing once you have mastered telepathic communication. It took me nearly decade though.

Penguin, the real trick is that all that time you were my puppet following out commands that I implanted in your mind through Mcdonalds adverts and internet p*rn!

Eye roll indicates hypnotizability.

So that makes you extremely hypnotizable, right?
Hey, me too!
