Hypnotizing someone is very easy to do, it's very easy.
00:04
It takes two, three, a few days of learning and we know how to change the state of consciousness of the subject.
00:10
Hypnotizing someone is very easy to do, it's very easy to change the state of consciousness of the subject.
00:23
A subject in hypnosis phase has a brain that works differently from a subject in ordinary state of consciousness.
00:33
There are some parts of the brain that are more activated, others that are less activated.
00:37
This is shown, it is published, there is no doubt about it.
00:42
Let's imagine a mother who has a toothache, who has a terrible pain and who suffers a lot.
00:49
This same mother has a little girl.
00:51
This little girl falls down the stairs.
00:54
The mother rushes, the little girl cries and screams and the mother comes to take care of her.
00:58
First of all, reassure her, comfort her, treat a small wound, there was no big damage.
01:04
Do you think the mother still feels her pain?
01:07
During this whole phase, she will have completely forgotten that she had a toothache.
01:12
Why? Because she was completely focused on something else.
01:16
This is how unconsciousness works.
01:24
What does an anesthetist do with a patient in an operating room?
01:27
Well, he will look with him for a subject, an experience of his life, an event of his life,
01:35
which is very interesting for this person.
01:39
And with hypnosis techniques, the patient will be able to stay fixed and focused on this experience.
01:45
The more he will be focused on the experience, it will be like running a marathon,
01:50
or going diving, or celebrating his birthday with friends.
01:55
Strong moments.
01:57
If he is fully focused on this event, everything around him seems to disappear, including pain.
02:05
How does hypnosis work?
02:15
Many people who suffer, it's as if they were stopped,
02:18
as if a part of their consciousness was stopped somewhere,
02:22
didn't walk anymore, didn't move anymore.
02:24
Well, hypnosis will allow to restart consciousness processes,
02:29
but also brain processes, memory processes, creativity processes.
02:34
We can do a lot of things with the skin, sensory organs, glands, exams.
02:43
We can do a lot of things, but we can't do everything, that's for sure.
02:46
We could do it alone, we call it self-hypnosis.
02:48
But at some point we need help from someone who will guide us, a guide,
02:52
someone who accompanies us to reactivate this state of trance
02:57
and therefore this state of healing potential.
03:00
Hypnotizing someone is very easy to do.
03:02
It's very easy.
03:04
It takes two, three, a few days of learning, and we know how to modify the state of consciousness of the subject.
03:10
But to use this hypnosis for care, to help someone in a difficult situation,
03:18
in a painful and painful moment of his life, or a dangerous moment,
03:22
it requires a lot of other skills and a lot of other knowledge.
03:26
So you have to be a health professional first.
03:36
But first, medicine in all its fields, whether pharmacological or hypnosis,
03:41
it's empiricism, people practice, experiment things, exchange.
03:46
Today it's in congresses, for example, that we exchange knowledge like that.
03:50
And that's how knowledge is built, the knowledge of a healer.
03:54
It is very recently that we know the mechanisms of action of morphine.
03:58
It has not prevented thousands of generations, since always, to use substances to relieve patients.
04:05
And then there is research, and today there is a lot of research.
04:08
Today we have magnificent devices to measure the transformations of the brain,
04:15
the exchanges in the brain, which allow us little by little to better understand what we are doing.
04:19
The intimate functioning that makes up the consciousness, the consciousness of me,
04:22
the consciousness of what surrounds me, the way to use my memory, my experiences,
04:28
to project myself into the future, to create music, to dream, well ...
04:35
we still struggle.
