REGAL HYPNOSIS QUIZ ANSWERS

1. The phenomenon called Hypnosis is paranormal and supernatural. FALSE. Hypnosis is like a guided meditation, and occurs naturally throughout the day. When you drive a car and your conscious mind gets preoccupied, the subconscious mind takes control. Realizing that you have suddenly arrived at your destination without being aware of how you got there is a mild state of hypnotic trance. Getting engrossed with TV, lost in a book or becoming influenced by radio advertising are other examples. All Hypnosis is Self 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. 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.

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 mind embraces imagination.

5. Relaxation is not required for Hypnosis. TRUE. Hypnosis can be induced during vigorous physical activity and stressful emergency situations. Although Hypnosis usually brings about profound relaxation, it is not a prerequisite for Hypnosis.

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 an effect on you unless you permit it. Whenever we choose to change our state of mind, we can revive ourselves at 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 subconscious mind indefinitely, however the conscious mind sustains memory only temporarily. Sometimes Clients will forget what is transpiring in a session because the Hypnotherapist 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. 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.

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 Hypnotherapist.

12. In order to select the best Hypnotherapist for myself, I must pick the one with the best education and training. FALSE. Hypnosis works best when the bond is strong between the Hypnotherapist and the Client. What matters most is the closeness and trust of their interpersonal relationship. The biggest factor is rapport. You need to feel comfortable, relaxed and at ease in order to be hypnotized. A harmonious connection is ideal.

13. It takes more than one Hypnotist to have a successful therapeutic session. TRUE. At least two Hypnotists are required to have a successful session. One is the leader who provides a safe environment conducive to Hypnosis and the other is a wiling follower who readily complies with the hypnotic suggestions.
