The most powerful and prevalent hypnosis of all

Probably the most powerful and prevalent (and some would say the most damaging) unconscious trance producer (hypnosis) is religion. You can not tell me that a six-year-old sitting in church, being told that if they sin, they are going to hell, is self-hypnosis. And yet, isn't religion, with it's rituals and hypnotic language one of the most long lasting trance producers of them all!? How many of us have learned our self-talk, our beliefs, and our values through the indoctrination of the church?

The reason why I'm harping on this so much, folks, is because I really want people to stop saying that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. People with thinking, reasoning minds will question this belief (as well they should), and as a result, be wary of hypnotherapists and the rest of what they have to say.

The good news is that the *safest* hypnosis is in the hands of a hypnotherapist who understands the values and benefits of the right type of languaging and positive visualizations. Plus of course, folks in the hands of a skilled hypnotherapist are AWARE of the incoming suggestions and can filter at will. Not so with the church and when it is already too late for a child in their most formative years, learning and BELIEVING (in their passive, trusting, open, relaxed state) that if they sin, they are in deep Kim Chee.

Food for thought.
