Introduction to hypnotherapy

[Tarak Vachharajani]

The word “Hypnotized” has different connotation for every one of us. Some of us may remember certain stage shows , where the Hypnotist makes adults do some funny childish behaviors or some of us may just remember some scenes in movies. Or maybe a magician doing some unexplainable tricks to shock the crowd.

Or maybe some may recollect Mandrake the Magician , turning pistols and knives into Bananas or cucumbers by Hypnotizing the villains.

But that was what in todays scientific terms is called as Stage Hypnosis or Hypnosis used for entertainment purposes. This Hypnosis comprises of 15% of total hypnosis.

The other 85% is what comprises of Clinical Hypnosis or Self hypnosis , used for therapeutic purposes.

Even today the major part of Atleast the Indian Population considers hypnosis to be used to controls someone MIND. In Colloquial terms called “Vashikaran”. Does that ring a bell. The only image a layman gets is a person moving a pendulum or a watch in front of a person’s eyes.

Welcome to reality.

Hypnosis dates way back in 1700s and was always used to treat people. The best example was in India itself, when in 1850s Dr James Braid, a Scottish surgeon used Hypnosis to operate on nearly 250 patients , without a single drop of anaesthesia.

Today it has evolved from the shadows of Being a part of Psychotherapy to a full fledged Neuroscience , where we know which part of the brain activity is subdued under hypnosis.

Hello Everyone,

The History of Hypnosis has been very controversial in the western world and also has a taboo attached at that time, which probably still exists in India. But Let me share one fact which I came across during my reading of a rare book on Tibet.

This is about the time of 1900s. When China had yet not taken over Tibet. It was a place of politics, spirituality and high end training especially in terms of astrology and Medicine. Which probably went hand in hand.

That time the Dalai lama was a political and a spiritual head. And inner circle of high officials which were there in his cabinet held a very wealthy and a respected place in the Tibetan society.

Their son’s future was determined by astrology and at the age of eight they had to leave the home and enter the respected lamasery, for which the field they were prescribed by their horoscopes. Possibly corresponding to our ancient Gurukul system.

The medical lamasery was very tough, where they were taught medicine, surgery and especially use of herbs and plants.

But since they did not have Anesthetics , in that high altitudes, ( it just could not be transported there) the students were taught Powerful techniques of Hypnosis.

Some of the highly qualified Medical lamas, could just stare in a patients eye and that patient would go into a deep hypnotic trance. This way they could perform various surgeries including complicated brain surgeries.

This was the proper use of Hypnosis by the Tibetans. And let me also add , they were also trained meticulously in Aura reading, means just by looking at the energy body of a individual , they could precisely tell the health of that individual and also predict the health issues and diseases the person might suffer in the next 6 months.

They journey of Hypnosis continues …………
