World Hypnotism Day

World Hypnotism Day is on January 4th. This is a controversial holiday, both with enthusiasm and met with skepticism. People who have personally experienced the unique power of hypnosis know about this date and share it with others. How do you feel about it?

History

The holiday entered the American calendar in 2006, but hypnosis was known much earlier. Dr. Franz Anton Mesmer is considered its founder and the first conscious psychotherapist. He created many works and had followers who heeded his teachings. Development began in 1820. In 1842, the doctor James Braid from England proved that a person, when focusing on a shiny object, falls into a special state. Subsequently, he gave it a name.

Hypnosis was considered almost magic, quackery, and childishness, leading to constant scandals around it. Hollywood has not had the best influence on shaping public opinion, releasing films about hypnotized people doing terrible things. Of course, this is not true. With hypnosis, it is impossible to gain complete control over the mind.

Today it is an excellent remedy for various ailments. Competent specialists can do a lot, such as help get rid of asthma, depression, migraine, anxiety… Modern people often face these issues, living with them for many years. Perhaps you should dive into the idea of World Hypnotism Day and test its impact for yourself?
