I have a friend whom was treated from a fear using hypnosis.Now he's not affraid anymore by spiders.I think with hypnosis you can overcome many of our fears.

I read in the paper years ago about a guy who was hypnitised on a stage, the guy woke him up by saying you'll feel like 1000 volts of electricity has passed through your body.  He died a few days later of a heart attack.  I'll see if i can find it on google.

sno .. do share the article with us here..

n yes hypnosis is used to cure people:)

I am very happy to see posts telling the truths about hypnosis. The internet is so full of lies and misconceptions regarding this subject.

Thank you

I'm practicing techniques on self-hypnosis. I did a lot of research and found a few audio tapes that I work well with to help relax but the only time I have to listen to tapes is at night. Most of the time I remember everything the tape says because I'm aware even if relaxed but sometimes if I listen a second/third time I go from trance to sleep. Does this mean I'm not getting as effective results as possible? Thanks for any help, I found sites/books that went over most of the facts but there seems to be some disagreement in the material I have about remembering and I'd hate to think I'm not getting effective results because I fall to sleep at the end of one of my tapes.   Thanks again for any help and posting such valuable facts. I wish more people realized it is science
