Book Reviews of The How-To Book Of Hypnotism
Book Review: This book gave me a great overview of hynotism and created a desire to learn more.
Summary: 5 Stars
Having recently started to study hypnotism, I wanted to find a
book that would give me a good overview of the topic . . . THE
HOW-TO BOOK OF HYPNOTISM by Tom Silver and Ormond
McGill met that criteria and delivered on its promise on the
back jacket cover to "create the desire [in the reader] to learn more
about this wonderful science and art."
It did a fine job of presenting a brief, but informative history
of the subject, and I liked how it helped me better understand
the role of the subconscious:
* The subconscious plays the role of supervisor over our body's physical
processes. All of the vital organs are controlled by its agency: digestion,
assimilation, the circulation of the blood, heartbeat, the action of the lungs,
the kidneys. . . .
Hypnosis provides our gardening tools for the successful cultivation
of the fertile field of the subconscious to raise a full crop of living
as we desire it to be.
Silver and McGill also explain how to hypnotize people, and they
provide several ways to instantaneously hypnotize somebody . . . I'm
not sure that you could master these techniques by just reading
the book; however, with additional instruction, you could well
be on your way.
I also liked what reading about all that hypnotism can do
for folks who want to be helped:
* As habits are seated in the subconscious, hypnosis provides the
perfect therapy. Drug habits, worry, melancholia, phobias and neurosis
all yield to hypnotic suggestion. The list of habits that can be corrected
goes on and on: kleptomania, lying, bragging, perversion, nervous
difficulties, bedwetting, swearing, gambling, bashfulness, stubbornness,
etc.. All these and more are readily cured through hypnotherapy. The
untold benefits are almost beyond comprehension, as long as the client
truly desires to be cured. Desire causes the "will" to act and, if the latter
is properly directed, nothing can resist the influence.
In addition, there's useful information on working with people
who have weight loss issues, as well as addictions to
cigarettes, drugs and alcohol.
I also found the material on self-hypnosis valuable, particularly
this tidbit that caught my attention:
* Become a master of anger within yourself. If you feel anger arousing
within you, right in the middle STOP AND TAKE THREE DEEP BREATHS
so that you become rational and deal with it, not allowing it to undermine
your personality. Anger takes away your vitality and weakens your
well-being. Conversely, cheerful thoughts are infecting, and their
radiation produces corresponding actions in the minds of others. A
magnetic personality radiates sunshine and good will, and these
thoughts are contagious.
Overall, I'd recommend the book--though I wish there had been
perhaps less information on stage hypnosis . . . and I could have
done without the last chapter on interlingual hypnosis, a subject
that while interesting, is not one that I feel a beginner should attempt.
