Here are some basics you want to know about hypnosis in general. I call it

"The Power of the Mind"

Hypnosis is NOT mind control.

Hypnosis is NOT miraculous.

Hypnosis helps to TEACH your subconscious mind to be more productive for you.

Hypnosis does NOT weaken your will power, it actually strengthens it.

Hypnosis does NOT require sleep or a loss of consciousness.

Hypnosis is not sleep, but a detached, in-between meditative state half way between sleeping and waking. Since your short term memory is housed in your conscious intellect, you are not likely to consciously remember everything I say.

No one can be PERMANENTLY kept in a hypnotic state against their will.

Most people ARE capable of entering hypnosis.

The more INTELLIGENT you are, the better subject you will make.
