HomeAccording to a recent BBC article, researchers have demonstrated that hypnosis has a “real” brain effect.
“Hypnosis has a “very real” effect that can be picked up on brain scans, say Hull University researchers.
An imaging study of hypnotised participants showed decreased activity in the parts of the brain linked with daydreaming or letting the mind wander.”
I found the study results quite interesting as I believe it adds scientific oomph to the claims that hypnosis can help with many issues including weight loss and smoking cessation, two of the most difficult goals to achieve in life. My first thought… if hypnosis can and does help with these things, it seems it would be useful in many other areas of life, including adding fun and excitement to the sex life ;)
(Grins) – Well, *I* already knew this, but I know there are a number of skeptics out there. I do appreciate that some people require more evidence that something is effective than simple first person testimony.
The entire article was quite interesting and well worth the read.
