There are thousands of people who have contributed to the advancement of hypnotism. Those who are recognized by the scientific community are the ones who took a more scientific approach. However, there are others whose contributions also deserve places in history.

Hypnosis is everywhere. It is not something to be afraid of, or amazed by, or thought of as confusing or complicated. It is all around you.

Hypnosis is not maniacal manipulator, but is actually an edifying enabler, that comes to people´s rescue and allows them to finally accomplish what it is they have had their hearts set on, but didn´t have the confidence to go for it before.

One of the main ingredients to a successful induction is fixation of attention. Previously it was thought that the best way to obtain fixation of attention in a subject was to get them to stare at an object.

The long and unhappy history of hypnotism demonstrates how belief, imagination, expectation and conviction are woven in throughout time and how ignorance of these vital ingredients of hypnosis resulted in incorrect theories.
