What is Hypnosis?

Well it is a relaxed state of awareness. You are aware of what is happening around and respond to suggestion if you want to.
The Amazing Kreskin said,  “all hypnosis is,  suggestion and the acceptance of suggestion. “Hypnosis allows you to have a child like vivid imagination which assist your creativity which we tend to stifle when we get older because all the barriers, boxes and layers we pile on as we age with your life experiences. Think about hypnosis as peeling the layers of the onion, allowing your unconscious mind to ignite and stimulate your imagination.

Is Hypnosis Satanic?

No, it’s science and psychology. Am I going to be humiliated or degraded? (Am I going to have bad memories or do something dirty.)

Your brain has a Critical Faculty or Fire Wall which separates the conscious mind from the unconscious mind. I work with the Unconscious mind. If the conscious mind hears something it disagrees with or is against your morals and ethics it can snap you out of any trance your in. You are in control all the time.
