Mesmer was so successful in his work that a scientific committee was put…
The Aesthetics of Hypnosis
People often think of aesthetics as being something separate from functionality, and in the case of household appliances or motor vehicles this may well be the case, but with hypnosis (including hypnotherapy and, I would say, NLP) the two come together with the former contributing to the latter. The video explains all! NOTE: Special Offer…
Hypnosis VERSUS Trance
As I am typing this, the Hypnosis Without Trance blog has been up and running for nearly 6 years. And if you have read the short ebook Hypnosis Beyond the Trance Myth, you’ll know something of the origins of the Hypnosis Without Trance concept. When I first showed up with this concept, there was a…
Hypnotic Coma and the Metaphors of Hypnosis

Hypnosis Success Rates – Are All Hypnotic Subjects Equal?
When people first begin to learn hypnosis and how to hypnotise one question that often comes up is “can everyone be hypnotised? Or are some people more hypnotisable than others?” (I guess that’s two questions really!) The answer is a little less clear cut than it might at first seem that it would be –…
