Hypnosis Wonders

Can a Person Stay in a hypnotic state and not wake from it?

Everyone wakes up out of hypnosis. A person who is hypnotized CANNOT stay in a hypnotic state unless they are constantly hearing the hypnotist’s voice. This is the most frequently asked question from members after a show. Some people have a true fear in hypnosis that a person can stay in the hypnotic state and not wake up from it. Sometimes a person can be deep enough that they may require a slight tap on the shoulder or extra count up from the hypnotist, but everyone wakes up from hypnosis. It is similar to asking, has anyone ever not woken up from a nap? Just as everyone wakes up from a nap, everyone wakes up from a hypnotized state.

I have long admired the incredible public speaking of Dr King. I was able to visit Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama where Dr King would preach. Later that day, I had a show at Troy University which had a spectacular theatre.

While under a state of hypnosis, there is a different perception of time. Time can often feel as if it has disappeared under hypnosis. Hypnosis stage shows last about 60 minutes and the subjects on stage are normally under hypnosis for about 50 minutes. Before the end of the show, if you ask a person who has been hypnotized on stage, “How long have you been up here? How much time has gone by?” Their answer is mostly about two minutes. The hypnotic subject will often say, “I just got up here.” The person will think they just got on stage. The hypnotist will even ask the question, are you ready to get the show started? Their response will be, “Yes, let’s start the show.” Even though the subjects have been on stage for 50 minutes, they feel as if it is only a couple of minutes. A deep hypnotic state achieved during a hypnosis show is very similar to the time that goes by while we nap or sleep.

Doing hypnosis shows in Seattle in June is a true pleasure as one is able to bike to and from using the bike rentals. I have often biked while traveling in great cities for biking such as Portland, Minneapolis and Seattle. The bike rentals work great and I have also used a Brompton bike, which is a collapsible bicycle used for travel. There is an ease to biking that makes the new city less stressful as you avoid a lot of the traffic congestion and plus when you arrive at your destination, you just got a great workout.
