Hypnotic Eyes-Look Into My Eyes

December 3, 2009 by editor Leave a Comment

Eyes are regarded as the face of our soul. Eyes sometimes speak a lot and express a lot. In the world of hypnotism eyes hold a very important position. Just by looking into eyes a person can be hypnotized and just by looking into eyes a person can be D hypnotized. It can be checked by looking into the eyes whether a person is hypnotized or not. Obviously there are ways to find out that but if you read this entire article then you will surely find out how to find out whether a person is hypnotize or not. Hypnotism can be inducted through eyes. When a person is under the grasp of hypnotism his eyes showcases that. If you can observe such eyes then you can surely get to know the secret.

When a person is hypnotized his eyes usually turns watery and it looks as if the person is crying. It happens not because that person becomes emotional because of being hypnotized but happens because the muscles which control the tear ducts in eyes become relaxed.
Some people get blood red eyes when they are hypnotized. This happens because their muscles are very relaxed. The more the muscles are relaxed, more blood flows into the eyes and they appear red.
A person who is hypnotized stops blinking at all. Most of the time a hypnotized person either blinks less or do not blink at all. This is a characteristic feature of a hypnotized person.
Pupil of a hypnotized person expands. It enlarges because of the relaxation of the eyes muscles. Dilation of pupil indicates that the person is hypnotized.

These indications of a person being hypnotized are really helpful. Hypnotic eyes can be easily noticed. Now that you know the secrets of a hypnotic eyes then you must try and observe these indications.

Is Self-Hypnosis the Answer?

Dr. George Estabrooks, professor of psychology at Colgate University and author of the book, Hypnotism, made the following two statements in a paper called “The Future of Hypnosis” given as part of a program on “The Nature of Hypnosis” at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association in 1959:

“It would be well to sound a word of caution against certain attitudes which have become prevalent and which can be well illustrated in the field of medicine. In this respect, direct suggestion is under the ban.

For example, a dictum, ‘Never remove the symptom unless the cause is understood,’ is much emphasized. Its validity is greatly open to question, since much of medical practice is direct symptom removal, as only a little thought makes apparent.

“Another dictum generally followed is that the unconscious background of symptom-complexes must necessarily be made conscious to effect a cure. Reasonable and thoughtful consideration of the extensive role of the unconscious in daily living and functioning renders this dictum much less creditable.”

I should like to discuss both of these statements in some detail as they invariably arise in the mind of the individual seeking help through hypnosis.

The first thought that comes to mind is that all the religious healings cited in the Bible involve direct symptom removal. The cures that are effected by religious devotees traveling to sacred shrines are also in the realm of direct symptom removal. I have yet to hear a criticism of this type of treatment directed at religious leaders or condemnation of the religious shrines. These cures are accepted as evidence of the power of faith or attributed to the super-natural. In these cases, nothing is ever done to make the person cured understand the nature of the unconscious mechanisms which contributed to his problem.

The Hypnotic State as a Period of Extreme Awareness

Another misconception about hypnosis is the widely held belief that the subject is unconscious. This represents a threat to the security of the individual. Actually, the hypnotic state is a period of extreme awareness in which the subject is hyperacute. Furthermore, the subject is not asleep, nor is he or she in a trance state in the correct meaning of that term. He is in an altered state of awareness with his faculties and reasoning ability intact. Inducing hypnosis merely creates a mood or state in which the powers of suggestibility are heightened.

When the general public and the medical profession become familiar with the true nature of hypnosis, we shall have a greater acceptance and utilization of this power. It is a slow process but one which will finally evolve. In the final analysis, I believe the only danger that exists is in the mind of the individual who fears hypnosis because of whatever subjective qualms he has about his own emotional involvement in the hypnotic process.

Of course, all persons using hypnosis for pain relief should consult their family physician. Pain is nature’s way of indicating that something is wrong with the organism. It would be foolish to suggest that a pain in the stomach will disappear when this may be a sign of a needed appendix operation. The same may be said of constant migraine headaches. It must be determined that the headache is not a symptom of a brain tumor or some other pathological condition. It may be of interest to know that hypnosis is presently being used to relieve pain in terminal cancer patients. There is an excellent article on this subject, and I recommend it to doctors reading this book. It is called “The Use of Hypnosis in the Case of the Cancer Patient” which appeared in the January 1954 issue of Cancer.
