REGAL HYPNOSIS QUIZ ANSWERS

1. The phenomenon called Hypnosis is paranormal and supernatural. FALSE. Hypnosis is a scientifically recognizable occurrence. We experience shifts in brain states naturally throughout the day. Each change in brain states that we go through has its own corresponding level of intensity, often referred to as depth. Hypnotic trance occurs when you drive a car, become preoccupied with other conscious thoughts and allow your subconscious awareness to take control. Realizing that you have suddenly arrived at your destination without being keenly aware of how you got there reveals forgetfulness which is a hypnotic phenomenon. In addition, getting engrossed with TV, lost in a book or influenced by radio advertising are other examples that parallel Hypnosis. 

2. Hypnosis is just another word that means sleep. FALSE. Hypnosis is a word that was coined by James Braid, a mid 19th century British doctor, derived from Hypnos, the Greek god of sleep, however it is a misconception that you have to be zonked out and unconscious to be in a hypnotic state. In fact, hypnosis requires neither sleep nor relaxation. A person in Hypnosis is fully aware and responsive. One can hear, talk and move about as well as concentrate better and be more attentive.

3. A person’s will power weakens under Hypnosis and surrenders to the stronger will of the Hypnotist. FALSE. Hypnosis does not make people submit and go against their will. Participants remain in control at all times and can always end the hypnotic state at will. You will always be capable of making your own decisions and never do anything that is against your moral code while hypnotized. Hypnosis is comparable to a guided meditation, and if while hypnotized you were told to stand on your head, you would not do it unless you felt comfortable in doing so.

4. Hypnotized people unintentionally reveal secrets. FALSE. Hypnosis does not make one reveal something one does not want to disclose. To the contrary, one can convincingly fabricate stories, tell tales and create other fictions since fibs and lies appear more real and believable to a person who is in Hypnosis. The subconscious embraces imagination.

5. Relaxation is not required for Hypnosis. TRUE. Participants can experience profound relaxation during Hypnosis, however it is not a prerequisite for Hypnosis to happen. Hypnosis can be induced during vigorous physical activity and stressful circumstances such as competitive sports or emergency medical situations.

6. People never get stuck in Hypnosis because they always hold the power within themselves to remain in control. TRUE. Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that we naturally drift into and out of. Nothing can ever have a lasting effect on you unless you permit it. Whenever we choose to change our state of mind, we can revive ourselves at will. Everything we do is based upon universal free will.

7. Hypnotized people do not remember what happens during a session. FALSE. Hypnosis does not hinder ones memory. All long-term memory is stored in the mind indefinitely, however the conscious brain sustains memory only temporarily. Sometimes participants will forget what is transpiring in a session because the Hypnotherapy Practitioner will suggest amnesia, however usually everyone recalls most of the details. Typically people have limited attention spans and remember only fragments of what is being said in a long speech or boring lecture. Whatever interests you most is normally memorable.

8. Certain personality types are more hypnotizable than others. FALSE. Hypnosis is not correlated to Jungian personality types. For example, whether one is INTJ (introverted freethinker) or ESFP (friendly outgoing entertainer), INFJ (future oriented mystic) or ESTP (action oriented adventurer) matters not. Some people are simply more hypnotizable than others because of their prior experiences and their understanding of altered states of consciousness.

9. Hypnotists can enable people to perform way beyond ordinary feats of strength, endurance and sensory acuity. FALSE. Hypnosis can help one achieve optimum levels of peak performance, develop physical abilities and enhance mental skills, however it cannot make anyone do unnatural feats.

10. Hypnosis is neither dangerous nor unpredictable. TRUE. Hypnosis occurs naturally, typically every 90 minutes on average, to everyone every day. These regular ultradian rhythms are an innate quality of being human just like blinking an eye is a natural reflex. Examples include daydreaming, fantasizing and pondering life.

11. Approximately one out of every three people are hypnotizable. FALSE. Hypnosis works for everyone who is reasonably intelligent and willingly able to follow instantaneous commands of the Hypnotherapy Practitioner.

12. In order to select the best Hypnotherapy Practitioner for myself, I should pick the one with the best education and training over the one with the best personality. TRUE. Hypnosis works well when the bond is strong between the Hypnotherapy Practitioner and the Participant, yet what matters more than a harmonious connection is that the change work is handled quickly and efficiently. Doc Regal affirms that 100% of the time significantly measurable results must be achieved within three sessions or another Hypnotherapy Practitioner should be obtained. In his opinion, one hires a Hypnosis professional to quickly and effectively get the job done, not sustain unnecessary long term therapy.

13. Successful Hypnotherapy requires two people or it cannot occur. TRUE. At least two people are required to have a successful session. One is the leader who provides a safe environment conducive for Hypnosis work and the other is a wiling follower who readily complies with the hypnotic suggestions.
