1
00:00:19,868 --> 00:00:21,419
Hello, good afternoon.
2
00:00:21,650 --> 00:00:23,498
It's an honor
to be in your presence
3
00:00:24,146 --> 00:00:30,002
and I intend to introduce you
to a technique
4
00:00:30,202 --> 00:00:31,971
that is as old as humanity itself.
5
00:00:33,614 --> 00:00:39,213
It's true. I defend that more
than theorizing about a technique
6
00:00:39,436 --> 00:00:44,722
in which case will be hypnosis,
we should go through the experience.
7
00:00:44,999 --> 00:00:48,462
So, when I was invited
8
00:00:48,773 --> 00:00:52,010
I proposed not only to speak
a little about hypnosis
9
00:00:52,239 --> 00:00:55,651
but also to provide an experience
to the audience
10
00:00:56,177 --> 00:00:59,483
taking you to the wonderful
world of hypnosis.
11
00:00:59,683 --> 00:01:03,848
So, my challenge is to buckle up,
hang in the chair
12
00:01:04,279 --> 00:01:06,351
Because you'll have a wonderful trip.
13
00:01:06,899 --> 00:01:07,994
Are we in?
14
00:01:08,238 --> 00:01:09,254
Ok.
15
00:01:09,685 --> 00:01:12,579
When we speak about hypnosis
16
00:01:13,307 --> 00:01:20,224
this buzzword awakens in people
some confusion, myths and maybe some fear.
17
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:23,804
However, if we think
18
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:29,951
that we enter in a psychologically state
identical to hypnosis every 90 minutes
19
00:01:30,195 --> 00:01:34,955
if we think that hypnosis
is a great technique of clinical scope
20
00:01:35,167 --> 00:01:38,794
and especially if we think
that hypnosis is purely communication
21
00:01:39,171 --> 00:01:45,935
I think you'll agree with me that we should
at least try to meet this mechanism
22
00:01:46,307 --> 00:01:53,051
this amazing approach that allows to understand
the most complex machine of the universe.
23
00:01:53,493 --> 00:01:58,261
It's in your head, it's in my head,
it's in our head, it's the human brain.
24
00:01:59,192 --> 00:02:04,449
In fact, I understand that nature endowed us
with a wonderful biological computer.
25
00:02:04,651 --> 00:02:06,803
And in fact, he is capable
of almost anything.
26
00:02:07,323 --> 00:02:11,859
Unfortunately, the human brain doesn't bring
any instruction manual.
27
00:02:12,473 --> 00:02:17,889
I dare to say it, I believe that hypnosis
is one of the instruction manuals
28
00:02:18,185 --> 00:02:23,725
that we were looking for to make use of
this enormous potential lying dormant
29
00:02:24,070 --> 00:02:25,575
that is our mind.
30
00:02:27,594 --> 00:02:29,518
What is hypnosis?
31
00:02:30,405 --> 00:02:36,781
In fact, depending on the theoretical model
that approaches the technique
32
00:02:36,983 --> 00:02:41,261
we can define hypnosis
as a specific state of conscience
33
00:02:41,461 --> 00:02:45,265
in comparison with
normal states of vigil and sleep.
34
00:02:45,592 --> 00:02:48,558
Bearing in mind
that our attention is floating
35
00:02:49,243 --> 00:02:54,678
when we enter in a hypnosis state,
we enter in a focus state
36
00:02:54,952 --> 00:03:00,168
where our mind turns more into our interior
in prejudice of the peripheral conscience.
37
00:03:01,742 --> 00:03:04,838
And it's normal,
is easy to enter in hypnotic trance.
38
00:03:05,113 --> 00:03:09,416
Nevertheless, the dreads,
myths, taboos and fears.
39
00:03:11,037 --> 00:03:14,114
I'm a psychotherapist.
I'm responsible for the clinical body
40
00:03:15,153 --> 00:03:18,285
of a clinic here in Oporto,
Aveiro and Lisbon
41
00:03:18,582 --> 00:03:21,897
And there are many myths regarding hypnosis.
42
00:03:22,617 --> 00:03:25,810
One of the myths that is very common
43
00:03:26,069 --> 00:03:30,407
and takes some time to explain
44
00:03:30,611 --> 00:03:32,665
is the fear of not waking up.
45
00:03:33,056 --> 00:03:36,071
When someone comes to my office
and tells me something like
46
00:03:36,389 --> 00:03:39,675
Dr. will I fall asleep and never wake up?
47
00:03:40,267 --> 00:03:41,616
I try to explain to the person
48
00:03:41,855 --> 00:03:44,694
But hypnosis is not sleep.
You're not going to sleep
49
00:03:45,029 --> 00:03:46,088
But she insists
50
00:03:46,288 --> 00:03:48,771
And what if something happens to me,
what if I have a cardiac syncope
51
00:03:49,268 --> 00:03:50,844
And I'm in a trance and never wake up?
52
00:03:51,196 --> 00:03:52,649
And I turn to the person and say
53
00:03:53,020 --> 00:03:55,788
Are you paying me 80 € to sleep?
54
00:03:56,732 --> 00:03:58,134
Hypnosis isn't sleep.
55
00:03:58,913 --> 00:04:02,240
It makes no sense because
the Electroencephalographic patterns
56
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,807
are diametrically opposed to sleep.
57
00:04:05,007 --> 00:04:07,067
Another myth regarding hypnosis
58
00:04:08,013 --> 00:04:11,793
is that we can control the mind
of the subject under hypnosis
59
00:04:11,993 --> 00:04:15,047
we can make him reveal
things he doesn't want to
60
00:04:15,645 --> 00:04:19,041
and it reminds me of a person
who said something like
61
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,873
Will you know my bank account?
Are you going to make me sign a check
62
00:04:24,073 --> 00:04:25,111
And take away all my money?
63
00:04:26,298 --> 00:04:28,157
That’s not possible.
64
00:04:28,414 --> 00:04:33,825
The person will always be in control,
never losing control of the process.
65
00:04:34,038 --> 00:04:40,559
Because, it's important to understand
that when studies show that our mind
66
00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:46,783
our neural architecture is designed to go
into biological and natural trance states
67
00:04:46,983 --> 00:04:49,279
I think it's easy to understand
68
00:04:49,923 --> 00:04:54,309
that since we were designed
69
00:04:54,509 --> 00:04:56,709
since the neural architecture
of the brain was designed
70
00:04:56,959 --> 00:05:00,316
we entered a trance
in a natural and biological way.
71
00:05:00,516 --> 00:05:01,581
And when does this happen?
72
00:05:02,129 --> 00:05:05,325
We enter a trance, for example
when we daydream.
73
00:05:05,895 --> 00:05:09,013
Hypnotic trance is often induced by reverie
74
00:05:09,213 --> 00:05:14,614
when we're driving to work, to school,
and don't realize the time passing.
75
00:05:15,513 --> 00:05:17,970
We enter a trance when we're in love.
76
00:05:19,396 --> 00:05:20,627
When we watch tv.
77
00:05:20,954 --> 00:05:22,668
When we're on the internet.
78
00:05:23,021 --> 00:05:28,132
Television is highly hypnotic,
smartphones are highly hypnotic.
79
00:05:28,339 --> 00:05:30,935
Have you noticed that
when we're watching a movie
80
00:05:31,166 --> 00:05:32,662
we forget about the noise
from the street
81
00:05:33,212 --> 00:05:34,916
we forget the kids playing in the kitchen
82
00:05:35,294 --> 00:05:38,421
because our focus at that moment
is the plot of the movie.
83
00:05:38,793 --> 00:05:41,254
And if there is a high-tension scene
84
00:05:41,553 --> 00:05:45,655
we feel the effects of a surge of adrenaline
into the bloodstream.
85
00:05:45,897 --> 00:05:49,150
Why does this happen
knowing that it's a fake story
86
00:05:49,363 --> 00:05:50,744
that are actors playing?
87
00:05:51,089 --> 00:05:53,946
Because we are in a really
altered state of consciousness
88
00:05:54,146 --> 00:05:55,933
meaning we're in self-hypnosis.
89
00:05:57,825 --> 00:06:03,307
When I say that hypnosis
is as natural as breathing
90
00:06:03,849 --> 00:06:07,377
It's also important to say
that hypnosis is purely communication.
91
00:06:09,249 --> 00:06:13,878
I said here today that we seek
information since birth, right?
92
00:06:14,078 --> 00:06:17,408
And it's important to realize that
it's impossible not to communicate.
93
00:06:17,608 --> 00:06:21,252
We communicate in analog
and digital form.
94
00:06:21,452 --> 00:06:26,102
And one of the human communication theorists
say that even if we are silent
95
00:06:26,380 --> 00:06:30,534
even if we choose to go
up a hill or a mountain
96
00:06:30,870 --> 00:06:31,937
we're communicating.
97
00:06:32,143 --> 00:06:35,012
We're communicating that
we want to be alone. Right?
98
00:06:35,212 --> 00:06:40,050
But more important than communicating,
is knowing how to communicate.
99
00:06:40,293 --> 00:06:42,846
According to Albert Mehrabian
100
00:06:43,310 --> 00:06:47,092
an UCLA psychologist
who did a study in 1971
101
00:06:49,075 --> 00:06:54,192
only about 7% of the content
of the message is verbal
102
00:06:55,004 --> 00:06:59,078
38% is the intensity, the shape,
the pauses
103
00:06:59,278 --> 00:07:01,842
the inflection of voice
that transmits the message.
104
00:07:02,042 --> 00:07:06,819
But over 55% of the message
is body language.
105
00:07:07,019 --> 00:07:08,279
Is nonverbal language.
106
00:07:08,479 --> 00:07:11,908
It's the gestures, silences,
the way we dress
107
00:07:12,108 --> 00:07:15,484
the way we look at
the person we're contacting.
108
00:07:15,809 --> 00:07:20,820
And it is fundamental to be able
to actually communicate.
109
00:07:21,020 --> 00:07:27,329
And, when we work with hypnosis,
when we eventually try to communicate
110
00:07:27,529 --> 00:07:33,016
we use these mechanisms
to create a natural state
111
00:07:33,216 --> 00:07:37,159
a state that somehow
the person is used to
112
00:07:37,359 --> 00:07:40,839
only that it passes by them
in short time lags.
113
00:07:41,039 --> 00:07:46,465
The Hypnotherapist, a hypnosis expert
who seeks to maintain that lag of time
114
00:07:46,691 --> 00:07:51,747
this special state of attention to make
qualitative and quantitative changes.
115
00:07:51,947 --> 00:07:58,519
Since I understand that hypnosis
is more or less a form of daydream
116
00:07:58,719 --> 00:08:04,041
which will allow our beliefs,
our mental schemes
117
00:08:04,241 --> 00:08:07,124
our absolute truths to be more flexible
118
00:08:07,324 --> 00:08:10,592
to allow us to make the changes
that sometimes we need
119
00:08:10,792 --> 00:08:16,354
to be more serene, to be more assertive
120
00:08:16,554 --> 00:08:21,537
and even feel that effectively
we have our life in our hands.
121
00:08:23,408 --> 00:08:27,610
Anyone who knows me knows
that I do hypnosis for over 20 years
122
00:08:28,010 --> 00:08:30,652
I was mesmerized about 20 years ago
123
00:08:31,361 --> 00:08:34,176
and to paraphrase Fernando Pessoa that says
124
00:08:34,402 --> 00:08:37,177
First you find it strange.
Then you can't get enough of it
125
00:08:37,777 --> 00:08:39,506
It was love at first sight.
126
00:08:39,906 --> 00:08:43,048
I realized that during hypnosis
I've never lost control
127
00:08:43,534 --> 00:08:47,349
I realized that during hypnosis
no one was controlling my mind.
128
00:08:47,549 --> 00:08:52,389
I simply realized that during hypnosis
I was totally in control of my faculties.
129
00:08:52,589 --> 00:08:57,621
My possibilities, I was able to access
this vast reservoir
130
00:08:57,844 --> 00:09:00,746
of experiences and knowledge
accumulated in my mind
131
00:09:00,946 --> 00:09:06,270
and make use of them so that
I could enhance huge possibilities
132
00:09:06,470 --> 00:09:09,968
either in terms of memory,
or in terms of assertiveness
133
00:09:10,168 --> 00:09:16,016
or even in terms of creativity
in a task or profession.
134
00:09:16,216 --> 00:09:23,059
In fact, my passion for hypnosis
has led me to explore hypnosis over time.
135
00:09:23,259 --> 00:09:24,491
And one thing I realized
136
00:09:24,691 --> 00:09:30,807
hypnosis is actually a practice
of all civilizations.
137
00:09:31,007 --> 00:09:35,519
From the ancient Egyptians to the Greeks
to the Mesopotamians
138
00:09:35,719 --> 00:09:39,926
even if we go further back in time
we must reach out to the tribal civilizations.
139
00:09:40,126 --> 00:09:42,233
The rituals of healing.
140
00:09:42,433 --> 00:09:46,130
Let's say the shaman was
the ancestral hypnologist
141
00:09:46,330 --> 00:09:51,184
but the more I sought
after the origin of hypnosis
142
00:09:51,384 --> 00:09:55,313
I realized that hypnosis
is lost in the mists of time.
143
00:09:57,186 --> 00:10:01,924
We have received the gift of life
100 billion years ago.
144
00:10:02,124 --> 00:10:08,494
And since then, our genes have been
searching for information
145
00:10:08,694 --> 00:10:12,691
and they are really looking
to pass communication
146
00:10:12,891 --> 00:10:17,767
so that the next ones can adapt
and survive better.
147
00:10:17,967 --> 00:10:24,184
Put in another way, the way
to communicate is nothing less
148
00:10:24,384 --> 00:10:26,841
than the strategy that life
has adopted to evolve.
149
00:10:27,041 --> 00:10:32,359
Because, since the first protozoan cell
was able to explore the environment
150
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:37,818
to divide itself, its nature realized
that it was relevant to acquire information
151
00:10:38,018 --> 00:10:43,375
to better adapt, so that life could survive,
adapt, evolve.
152
00:10:44,075 --> 00:10:49,652
In other words, life has evolved
over thousands of years
153
00:10:49,852 --> 00:10:54,081
and our brain has in fact become
more and more capable.
154
00:10:54,281 --> 00:10:58,367
And this extraordinary thing
that is our brain
155
00:10:58,567 --> 00:11:03,184
which was designed to communicate,
to acquire information
156
00:11:03,384 --> 00:11:09,970
developed increasingly surprising tactics
and mechanisms to communicate
157
00:11:10,170 --> 00:11:13,676
and give a meaning to the environment
that surrounded it.
158
00:11:13,876 --> 00:11:17,771
However, despite our highly evolved brains
159
00:11:17,971 --> 00:11:22,049
having developed extraordinarily
over millions of years
160
00:11:22,249 --> 00:11:24,951
there are some parts of our brains
that are not in fact perfect.
161
00:11:25,151 --> 00:11:30,665
For example, some optical illusions
can be considered insane.
162
00:11:30,865 --> 00:11:36,110
For this example, the Ponzo illusion, also
called the illusion of the railway line.
163
00:11:36,310 --> 00:11:40,246
It gives us the feeling that we
have objects of different dimensions
164
00:11:40,446 --> 00:11:43,379
which in fact are of the same dimension.
165
00:11:43,579 --> 00:11:46,108
If I were to ask you right now
166
00:11:46,308 --> 00:11:49,224
and here we are talking
about the theory of Gestalt forms
167
00:11:49,424 --> 00:11:52,504
if the top square is equal
to the bottom one
168
00:11:52,743 --> 00:11:54,460
of course the answer would be no.
169
00:11:54,660 --> 00:11:59,026
At the top we have a grey square,
at the bottom we have a white square.
170
00:11:59,226 --> 00:12:02,440
Yet, it's an illusion.
It's a wrong answer.
171
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,871
In reality, the squares
have the same color.
172
00:12:06,071 --> 00:12:10,063
It happens, and don't be
angry with your brain
173
00:12:10,263 --> 00:12:16,171
because he strives daily to give a stable
environment in the sense of continuity
174
00:12:16,463 --> 00:12:20,927
of Prägnanz,of decent shape,
as the Gestalt says, the theory of form.
175
00:12:21,955 --> 00:12:25,289
Hypnosis uses these bugs
176
00:12:26,176 --> 00:12:29,647
these failures of the human brain
177
00:12:30,087 --> 00:12:34,411
to eventually lead to a state of,
as we say, illusion
178
00:12:34,611 --> 00:12:41,153
that allows you to access a wealth
of information, numb resources
179
00:12:41,353 --> 00:12:44,990
fruit of our experiences,
fruit of our possessions
180
00:12:45,190 --> 00:12:50,530
which come not only from our childhood,
but also as Carl Jung says
181
00:12:50,730 --> 00:12:55,399
come from ancient generations
and maybe some sort of genetic memory
182
00:12:55,599 --> 00:12:58,795
that can be accumulated in our interior.
183
00:13:00,573 --> 00:13:03,655
There are several assumptions of hypnosis
184
00:13:05,107 --> 00:13:06,892
and there are 3 major assumptions
185
00:13:07,092 --> 00:13:11,243
which are important to understand
the mechanism of hypnosis functioning.
186
00:13:11,443 --> 00:13:16,373
The first assumption is that
the brain operates only in the present.
187
00:13:16,573 --> 00:13:20,543
The past, the present and the future
are a construction of our conscious mind.
188
00:13:20,743 --> 00:13:24,995
Our unconscious mind lives in the present,
operates in the present.
189
00:13:25,195 --> 00:13:30,715
The second assumption is that
the real is equal to the imaginary.
190
00:13:30,915 --> 00:13:35,932
Our brain is inside a black box,
isn't it?
191
00:13:36,132 --> 00:13:40,795
The afferences that he's abroad,
our sensory nerves
192
00:13:40,995 --> 00:13:44,542
bring the information and
he gives an image, a reality.
193
00:13:44,742 --> 00:13:48,845
But actually, our brain is blind,
deaf, and dumb.
194
00:13:49,045 --> 00:13:54,063
If we knew how to stimulate
certain areas of the brain to the color
195
00:13:54,263 --> 00:13:59,309
that areas would create an illusion of color
in our brain even if that color didn't exist.
196
00:13:59,509 --> 00:14:06,046
Lastly, the other assumption is that our
brain strives to produce what we imagine.
197
00:14:06,246 --> 00:14:11,316
And if we are effectively able to focus
198
00:14:11,628 --> 00:14:16,444
to conduct our mind into something we do,
or something we desire
199
00:14:16,644 --> 00:14:22,442
our brain will find 1001 ways to realize,
eventually, what we have envisioned.
200
00:14:22,642 --> 00:14:28,177
It occurs to me now that famous quote
from Walt Disney, when he says
201
00:14:28,377 --> 00:14:32,849
Don't worry about the distance
between your dreams and reality
202
00:14:33,049 --> 00:14:36,735
If you can dream them,
you can also achieve them.
203
00:14:36,935 --> 00:14:42,446
Effectively hypnosis allows access
204
00:14:42,791 --> 00:14:46,193
to this huge dormant potential
205
00:14:46,568 --> 00:14:52,410
hypnosis lets you make use of resources,
experiences and accumulated knowledge.
206
00:14:52,610 --> 00:14:58,484
And mainly, hypnosis allows us
to understand this magnificent structure
207
00:14:58,684 --> 00:15:04,108
this magnificent biological computer,
which nature has designed
208
00:15:04,308 --> 00:15:10,118
and most times,
by prejudice, by ignorance, by doubt
209
00:15:10,318 --> 00:15:15,476
we do not know how to use
properly in our benefit.
210
00:15:16,716 --> 00:15:19,921
And I promised at the beginning
of my speech
211
00:15:20,607 --> 00:15:25,559
that more than
theorizing about hypnosis
212
00:15:25,781 --> 00:15:29,437
I'd like to demonstrate some phenomena
of hypnosis with the present ones.
213
00:15:29,862 --> 00:15:36,833
However, I do not want to finish
this theoretical part of my presentation
214
00:15:37,033 --> 00:15:41,944
without quoting Charles Chaplin,
which to me translates a bit
215
00:15:43,046 --> 00:15:47,313
of the magnificent instrument
hat nature endowed, that is our brain.
216
00:15:47,513 --> 00:15:49,174
And the quote is more or less
217
00:15:49,422 --> 00:15:53,643
that the human brain is the most
awesome engine ever created.
218
00:15:53,843 --> 00:15:59,874
In him are all the secrets,
including the one from our happiness.
219
00:16:01,248 --> 00:16:03,386
It is based on this big assumption
220
00:16:03,586 --> 00:16:07,841
and based on this great man,
who somehow taught us to live
221
00:16:08,041 --> 00:16:11,400
that I would like right now, and
I'm looking at the time that is relentless.
222
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,699
And right now, you're probably thinking
223
00:16:13,899 --> 00:16:17,686
But didn't you say that time is imagined?
That it is a mind construction?
224
00:16:18,698 --> 00:16:21,785
Yes, but we're all building this time.
Then it becomes real
225
00:16:21,985 --> 00:16:24,757
as the brain doesn't distinguish
the real from what is imaginary.
226
00:16:25,839 --> 00:16:31,588
In the time I have left, I would like to make
a very interesting experience with you
227
00:16:31,788 --> 00:16:35,731
so that you can experience there,
in your place, your chairs
228
00:16:35,931 --> 00:16:38,632
what is passing through
the state of hypnosis. Ok?
229
00:16:38,832 --> 00:16:41,176
Gentlemen, I always say that
230
00:16:41,376 --> 00:16:44,982
and to decompress a little,
because you look way too serious
231
00:16:45,182 --> 00:16:50,364
I usually say that hypnotic trance
is more or less like sex
232
00:16:50,564 --> 00:16:51,573
it only hurts the first time.
233
00:16:52,748 --> 00:16:54,798
Then you don't want anything else, right?
234
00:16:55,692 --> 00:16:59,013
So, let's get to it.
Let's do an experiment, all right
235
00:16:59,213 --> 00:17:02,144
I said during my lecture
236
00:17:02,344 --> 00:17:07,150
that we go into biological and
natural states of trance every 90 minutes
237
00:17:08,172 --> 00:17:13,368
and also said that each of us
has apparently a neural architecture
238
00:17:13,568 --> 00:17:18,193
that was phylogenetically designed to get
into biological and natural states of trance
239
00:17:18,393 --> 00:17:22,039
and I intend to prove it.
So, let's do a very simple experience.
240
00:17:22,239 --> 00:17:26,868
Would you close your eyes? Let's go.
Let's close our eyes please.
241
00:17:28,129 --> 00:17:32,621
I would like, that at this point, you do
just a very simple exercise of imagination.
242
00:17:33,424 --> 00:17:38,095
Imagine that right now you have
before you your favorite dessert.
243
00:17:38,295 --> 00:17:43,956
For some it's a particular piece of fruit,
for others it will be a special cake
244
00:17:44,156 --> 00:17:49,840
maybe that Grandma's cake,
maybe a dessert that you love.
245
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,549
Now imagine your plate before you
246
00:17:54,619 --> 00:17:58,399
see the size, texture, color.
247
00:17:58,599 --> 00:18:01,083
And now I'm going to do
something very simple.
248
00:18:01,283 --> 00:18:06,179
Imagine that you take a cutlery,
and cut a piece of dessert.
249
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:14,180
Now please feel the flavor, the texture,
the smell, and taste it.
250
00:18:14,380 --> 00:18:17,931
Try to taste this delicious dessert
in the mouth and at the same time
251
00:18:18,131 --> 00:18:23,084
try to remember the last time
you felt that taste in your mouth
252
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,065
and maybe at this point you can
experience the explosion of flavors
253
00:18:29,292 --> 00:18:31,004
that's coming to your brain.
254
00:18:32,601 --> 00:18:34,556
If you want to swallow now, do it.
255
00:18:34,756 --> 00:18:37,976
You may open your eyes.
Open your eyes, open your eyes.
256
00:18:38,176 --> 00:18:40,172
Why are most of you salivating?
257
00:18:42,349 --> 00:18:46,730
Because this is hypnosis gentlemen,
hypnosis is as simple as breathing.
258
00:18:47,300 --> 00:18:53,844
And if you can breathe, you can hypnotize
and can go into trance. Right?
259
00:18:55,404 --> 00:19:00,036
What I want to do now is a demonstration
of some hypnotic phenomena
260
00:19:00,236 --> 00:19:04,366
locks, catalepsies, hypotonia
261
00:19:04,566 --> 00:19:08,415
and for that I need some volunteers.
262
00:19:08,615 --> 00:19:10,816
However, I have some warning to do.
263
00:19:11,016 --> 00:19:14,881
One of the assumptions of hypnosis is that
no one is hypnotized if they don't want to
264
00:19:15,181 --> 00:19:16,099
right?
265
00:19:16,299 --> 00:19:21,652
Therefore, if your goal is to come to stage,
occupy one of those chairs
266
00:19:21,852 --> 00:19:25,093
and prove that you can't go into a trance,
don't waste your time.
267
00:19:25,293 --> 00:19:29,095
I admit now, I can't hypnotize
those who do not want to be hypnotized.
268
00:19:29,295 --> 00:19:32,782
So, that's the assumption.
The volunteer that comes up here
269
00:19:32,982 --> 00:19:34,319
I need 3 volunteers
270
00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:38,898
I would like that was genuinely interested
in going through a wonderful experience
271
00:19:39,472 --> 00:19:42,720
go by an experience that you
really will never forget.
272
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,874
And if you're interested in going
through that experience
273
00:19:47,074 --> 00:19:49,443
and I'm going to do it for free of course
274
00:19:49,643 --> 00:19:55,034
I would like for some guests to come here.
Come please. 3 guests.
