3.HISTORY OF HYPNOSIS
Paracelsus, a scientist and physician  of Swiss
                origin, developed a theory about the
                interrelationship between the stars and the
                human disease processes

1734 – 1815        Australian physician MESMER, developed the
                above    theory further by assuming that there
                was a universal fluid, which pervades the
                earth and all human beings. He named this
                 fluid “Animal Magnetism”.
.
4.1756 – 1819        Abbe de Faria, Catholic priest, is considered to             be the     first Hypnotist because he used “GO             TO SLEEP” phrase. He corrected Mesmer’s             theory by stating that according to his             research, there was no need for a universal             fluid to induce trance; it was the power of             suggestion that lead to a sleep like state 1795 – 1860        The induction of “LUCID” sleep was             developed further by the English optometrist             James Braid. During experiments Braid found             that the trance like state was very genuine             and very natural, especially when subjects fix             their gaze on a shinning object. He named                 this state “Hypnosis” after the Greek word                 “HYPNO” which means sleep. 1820            Du Potent began a series of observation of             Hypnosis, appointed by the French Academy             of Medicine.  

5.1788 – 1863        Dr. John Elliotson, on June 25, 1846 explained the use of clairvoyant subjects for diagnosing  obscure cases.

1808 – 1859        Dr. James Esdaile performed hundreds of
                painless surgical operation in Calcutta, India.

1795 – 1860        Dr. James Braid published a book titled
                “Hypnotism for Medical Use”.

1841            Bernheim, professor of medicine at Nancy,
                 published a book De La Suggestion
                (Suggestive Therapeutics).
                Liebeault and Bernheim are known as the
                 Fathers of Modern Hypnosis.
6.1955            British Medical Association adopted the Use of
                Hypnosis.

1958            American Medical Association adopted the use
                of Hypnosis.

1961            American Psychiatric Association adopted the
                use of Hypnosis.

1963            First course on Hypnosis conducted in
                Philadelphia, by medical doctors, for medical
                doctors, approved by the American Medical
                Association.

7.Fifty years ago hypnotists were entertainers who persuaded some
one to quack like a duck in a night club. One hundred years ago
hypnotists were called charlatans, and during the Middle Ages, a
hypnotist was considered a witch.
Today’s hypnotist is likely to be a physician, a psychologist,
a university researcher, or a nurse, and to be employed in
the emergency room of Jefferson Hospital in Louisiana, at
the figure skating pavilion in the Olympics, or at the local
weight control center.
Today hypnosis is some thing every one looks forward to!!
While it’s a serious therapeutic technique, hypnosis is also a
pleasant and calming experience, and you’ll be delighted when you
realize that it can help you transform yourself.

8.MIND HAS TWO FUNCTIONS
Conscious thinking            Conscious mind
Unconscious thinking        Subconscious mind
The part that deals with the decision making process, LOGIC is
10% of our brain power. This is the seat of will power and is
called the conscious mind
Below the level of awareness lies 90% of our brain power that
is what we call the sub conscious mind

9.Hypnosis temporarily suspends the critical faculty,
(Conscious thinking) so that the suggestions are accepted at the inner conscious level

10.LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS
The levels of consciousness range from a state of alertness to a sleep state. There are no rigid boundaries setting off one level from another. Instead, the levels blend into each other and can be generally defined as shown in the following chart

11.Psychotherapy that uses hypnosis
as part of the therapeutic process
is called
hypnotherapy

12.HYPNOSIS IS A NATURAL PROCESS
We all experience hypnotic states many times
Children engrossed in watching cartoons
Highway driving

Day dreaming & Imagination
Prayers, meditation & worship

13.It happens to us all, young and old, in every day life and on special occasions.
It is a state of being fully absorbed and attentive to such a degree that occurrences in the outside world becomes less important

14.Milton H. Erickson was a physician who championed the use of hypnosis in the United States. He formed scholarly hypnosis societies, and was an astounding presence in a purple cape, curing patient after patient with his unique hypnotic approach. Today, Ericksonian hypnosis
 is taught throughout the world.
