So You Are A Christian, So You Do Not Believe in Hypnotism

During a Smart Connect, on Alignable, an online networking platform, a self-proclaimed Christian man shared his skepticism towards hypnosis with me.

​It’s hard to believe in something you do not understand.

I explained that faith healing is a hypnotic technique. The only way someone will drop to the floor when touched by a faith healer is to be so relaxed that the person drops to the floor. ​​​The only way one will be so relaxed, in this context, is to overload one’s senses while the parishioner truly believes in the preacher’s abilities to heal them. This is exactly how hypnotists do instant inductions. For those who are so analytical, instant inductions are the best way to help them achieve the hypnotic state.
