No, not all are charlatans. Hypnotism is a legitimate tool in counseling and it is totally not what we see on TV and in magic shows. It can be extremely therapeutic although everyone cannot be hypnotised.

I agree Kim. I was referring to the TV and stage ones, not those who haven't been able to turn off my nicotine receptors..

Quantum physics. (I'm not the full bottle with this one but) The brain has receptors eg babies may develop food preferences when still in the womb. Receptors are activated by what our body needs / wants are. Nicotine, especially when amonia is added, will activate receptors with strong demands. I'm rapidly getting lost so I hope that helps.

Good luck with those nicotine receptors!

This popular representation bears little resemblance to actual hypnotism, of course. In fact, modern understanding of hypnosis contradicts this conception on several key points. Subjects in a hypnotic trance are not slaves to their "masters" -- they have absolute <B>free will</B>. And they're not really in a semi-sleep state -- they're actually <B>hyperattentive</B>.
