The very first reaction that is commonly seen on hearing about hypnotism is fear and apprehension. A majority of people wouldn’t want to get hypnotised if given a chance because they tend to associate it with some sinister proposition which they might think is harmful for their mind. There have been suggestions even to such an extent that people might get mentally imbalanced if they go through such a situation.

All of such mindsets have been because of the myriad misconceptions that are doing the rounds and mostly because people who are practising hypnotherapy have not been able to create awareness among the common man. The situation is turning towards positive these days as people try and understand the art of hypnotism in the modern world.

Scientific development and increased research into mystical elements are being taken up by educated people, who are trying to unravel the mysteries of the mind and the subconscious. Nowadays, all those hypnotherapists who are coming out with solutions for psychiatric disorders are explaining the scientific basis of hypnosis and its positive effect on human beings.

The mind is made of plenty of nerves and cells with interactions at a deeper level. With advanced techniques to look into the mind and study its behaviour, many myths have broken and newer theories are coming up, among which one is the idea about hypnosis. Hypnosis is not yet clearly defined medically because it is such an abstract thing that no defined limitations have yet been formulated. But, contrary to popular beliefs, this term denotes a state of mind where the individual is made to focus on the thoughts in a very detailed manner.

Simply speaking, this is a state where people are in a heightened state of relaxation position where the body functions normally and a person can be aroused from the condition. There is a situation of trance, where the mind is relaxed and thereby is able to focus. There is awareness but because of the withdrawing of senses, there can be actions which one would be hesitant to perform normally. If the opinion of the hypnotherapists would be taken, then they would compare the state with the deep interest that people read a novel.

Due to the engrossed mind, people are so lost that they fail to notice any movement near them and yet a loud noise or switching off of the lights brings them back to the normal. Many therapists involved in hypnotherapy in Chennai have the ability to transcend the mind beyond the present and take control of the subject’s mind to direct it towards a particular event. Since a number of thoughts and memories are present inside the human brain, stimuli in the right direction can be quite rewarding in helping solve many abstract issues.

Past life regression is also a kind of hypnotic state where one can go back to the past by being in the present state, although this phenomenon is not used for therapeutic procedures like that of hypnotherapy. Nowadays, many people who have started centres for counselling in Chennai are trying to make people aware about the methods of Reiki, past life regression and the basics of hypnotism. As the myths of ghosts are being driven away from the minds of the educated society these days, so are the misconceptions needed to be thrown out and things like hypnosis and past life regression should be looked with new perspective.
