Dear Friends, a lot of you are asking what does it really happen during hypnotic fascination.
Firstly, there is a profound change in perception. The ancient spoke of “mist“. In this mist the subject often experiments an immediate trance, he feels removed from time and the material world.
Why? Scientifically expressed, the fascinated subject immediately experiments various visual hallucinations as the focus of his eyes goes to a particular point called “dark focus” or “resting point of focusing”. As your eyes focalize there, your mind goes in a sort of natural vacation and you do not recognizes far and near any more. The “dark focus” is a phenomenon scientifically observed in aviators, who, sometimes, enter a sort of “trance”, very dangerous while flying. It is like a physiological “black point”, wired in our brain, where our perceptions change.
This is a first difference with mainstream verbal hypnosis that, being psychologically oriented, does not rely on this kind of physiological reaction.
A second change is also a natural and spontaneous development of catalepsy, similar to the tonic immobility of animals. For example, if we stroke an arm of a fascinated person, it will stay spontaneously rigid. While some researchers have related this kind of reaction to a defence mechanism, this is not the only explanation.
In this state there is also a sense of charge, strange excitation, inner energy, well-being and regeneration.
Going further with the hypnotic gaze induction we can therefore create complete body catalepsy, change and slowing of the heartbeat and also a state of general anaesthesia. The practitioner does not need to use any verbal suggestion. This is very similar to what is achieved with some prolonged Yoga practices where the yogin goes in a state similar to death.
We know some secret school that used this state exactly for mystic and ecstatic experiences. However, in normal clinical practice we do not prolong the induction in this direction, because it could be extremely difficult to awaken the subject after-wards.
In our next seminars you can also experience various phenomena, as the subject is immediately highly responsive. Here there is a second difference and the characteristic of our knowledge.
In the normal verbal hypnotic way of doing you need to follow the reaction of the subject to create a receptive state; here you already have the receptive state in a few seconds.
Therefore you can easily and we could say “mathematically” plan ahead exactly what you want to achieve.
We will work for example on somnambulism, amnesia, regressions and more…
