Download or read book Hypnotism Revealed The Powers Technique of Hypnotizing and Self Hypnosis Including the Intriguing Chapter Sleep and Learn written by Melvin Powers and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hypnotism is one of the most remarkable phenomena known to man. It is as old as the human mind, as aged as the beginning of the world. To whatever quarter we direct our research, whether to dusty old manuscripts or to ancient hieroglyphics, we find indelible traces of the influence of hypnotism. There is nothing mysterious about the phenomenon of hypnotism. However, people have long looked upon hypnosis as being surrounded by a veil of mystery. The word itself seems to carry a connotation of mysticism. It must be clearly recognized that there is nothing abnormal about it. Its principles are evident in everyday life without attracting any particular degree of attention. Suggestibility is a normal characteristic of the mind. In Hypnotism Revealed Melvin Powers explains the history and facts surrounding the subject of hypnotism as well as giving instructions on how to hypnotise subjects, refractory subjects and yourself.

Download or read book Overpowered written by Christopher Green and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hypnotism has fascinated and inspired people since the mid-1800s, when entertainers and medical professionals enthusiastically took up this Far Eastern practice. This is the first popular, illustrated history of hypnosis. It tackles the (relatively) reputable aspects of the subject--brain imaging, clinical trials, and hypnotherapy--alongside the smoke and mirrors of stage hypnosis.The author has uncovered intriguing stories about the larger-than-life characters who inhabit the world of hypnosis. From Professors of Mesmerism to Princes of Necromancy, this book explores the different guises of hypnotism as portrayed by pseudo-scientists and showmen alike. It takes a very personal approach to the central questions posed by hypnosis: why do we want to give up our power? Why do we think someone else can change us, if we can't change ourselves? Why do we want to alter our normal patterns of cognition? Why would anyone go on stage and do what a sweaty guy in a cheap suit tells them to do? An accredited hypnotherapist and performer himself, the author examines the connections between stage hypnosis and hypnotherapy or, in other words, the point at which showbiz meets self-help and sleight-of-hand meets scholarly research. The book is practical, informative, and entertaining, and fully illustrated with colorful source material from the archives of the British Library.
Download or read book A Critical History of Hypnotism written by Saul Marc Rosenfeld and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-08-28 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite more than two centuries of having tacitly recognized its enormous potential utility, the phenomenon of hypnosis has always been commonly regarded with outright Fear and Loathing. How is it possible that something as beneficial to humanity as hypnosis ever came to be viewed in such a horrible manner? I intend to show that the history of hypnotism provides us with the clue to this unfortunate legacy; and I've neither spared anyone's feelings nor pulled any punches in this quest to reveal the shamefully appalling level of incompetence and ignorance that has characterized the (mis)use of this phenomenon since its discovery by Mesmer more than two hundred years ago.

Download or read book Cocaine Fiends and Reefer Madness written by Michael Starks and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the very beginning, filmmakers have struggled to free themselves from censorship and manipulation by special-interest groups, and this struggle is clearly evident in the history of drug films. "Cocaine Fiends and Reefer Madness" is an exhaustive exploration of the history of the depiction of psychoactive drugs in motion pictures from Thomas Edison's "Opium Smoker" (1894) to "Cocaine Cowboys" (1978), Included are over 400 silent and 1,000 sound films as well as nearly 500 drug-abuse films, 85 experimental films, and 135 television programs. More than 150 stills, most never before published and many extremely rare, illustrate the text. Arranged chronologically as well as by drug type and often by country, this book shows that, far from being a recent phenomenon, drug films were made in nearly every country and period that produced a significant body of films. Visit Edison's first film studio, reflect on the filmic consequences of Cocteau's opium addiction with Kenneth Anger's early experiences with magic mushrooms, see Charles Laughton smuggling cocaine inside a statute of the Buddha, and watch Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., consuming vast quantities of opium and cocaine in a World War I "Sherlock Holmes" parody.
