Is Hypnosis Real? New Research May Provide the Answer.

Volunteers at my Hypnotic Experience show in a deep hypnotic trance.  Is it real?

 

A easy-to-digest article published earlier this year by Neuroscience News entitled Hypnosis Changes the Way Our Brain Processes Information provides interesting insight into what is actually happening in a person’s mind when hypnotized.  Researchers at the University of Turku in Finland report:

“The brain may function quite differently during hypnosis when compared to a normal waking state. This is interesting because the extent to which hypnosis modifies neural processing has been hotly debated in the field.”

 

I am often asked by people who attend my Hypnotic Experience show if hypnosis is real.  I’ve also explained that similar to other forms of suggestion, hypnosis is as real as a person wants it to be.  Based on this research, I may need to rethink my answer.
