What Are You? A Gigantic Clown Or Magnificent Doctor
The circus of hypnosis and the history
The word hypnosis
Basically represents: “inducement of sleep”
The word hypnosis originates from the Greek word hypnos, meaning sleep, and the Latin word called osis, meaning condition.
Although hypnosis has nothing to do with sleep, here it already got quite confusing. Add this to the fact that the doctor James Braid actually coined the term which united Hypnosis with Sleep forever.
Not a bad start..
Hypnosis has nothing to do with sleep, but it can be used as a tool to achieve better sleep
The circus of hypnosis
People have looked at hypnosis as a circus act for a long period of time,
Many thought and still think of hypnosis as being a circus act, to have people walk around like a chicken, to brainwash people or they believed that it is really dangerous. Stage hypnosis is matter of fact, quite a recent way of how hypnosis can be used.
Hollywood and stage hypnosis created a clown act confusion where people still tend to be mind-trapped in as until today.
