I know some devotees who are hypnotists, its a good way of earning your living. Its a tricky question as to define it in sastric terms, but it appears to be brahminical or educational engagement.

Tell us how you have been using it

its known to be very powerful have you read about Milton Erickson famous hypnotist
user [175] · 2008-07-22
yep the great Milton H. Erickson Revolutionary Man of Modern Day hypnotism and the creator of the milton model used in conversational hypnosis, waking hypnosis and trance state hypnosis, great guy...

Also Dave Elman is similarily a good hypnotist after all the Elman Induction was one of the first few that i learnt...

Well, Hypnosis is proven to have not been able to use it in any immoral way at all, so its power is only for either fun or/and good... like healing addictions or just proving hypnotic phenomena to skeptics...

Im learning it via some of the best in the field at the moment, Richard Nongard and John Cerbone and MANY others...

though hypnosis in my work and understanding has nothing to do with past life regressions, because i know it impossible to do it, after all hypnosis is all in the mind...

ANY comments and thoughts about it?
