*Frequently Asked Questions About Hypnosis* *Do hypnosis recordings work, or do I need to see a hypnotist in person?* You will see on our testimonial’s pages for Stop Smoking <https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/af0912e7af0501245ee1334b7fc225b7ed4b60f9?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvanceromane.com%2Fstop-smoking-testimonials%2F&userId=2047633&signature=26a638de256ee1cd> and Weight Loss <https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/522396c1af514c2378d7bdaaacf8b6eeaa462027?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvanceromane.com%2Flose-weight-testimonials%2F&userId=2047633&signature=a802900d5f9f9866> many people who just listened to my hypnosis recordings and reached their goals. In person hypnosis, for some people and certain challenges can take many sessions. Many people do not have the time and the budget for this. If you have a natural talent to be hypnotized, and many do, then a single playing of one of my hypnosis recordings may bring success. If you need more time, you can play the recording over and over until the new mindset locks into your life. *What is your system or approach to helping people with hypnosis?* My goal is to empower people with hypnosis and mind power skills, so they feel strong and independent without needing me. I discovered that for some problems or challenges, many people did not need multiple hypnosis sessions, the added stress of appointment after appointment and a large investment which added more stress in their life. Back in the 1960’s I created what was one of the first hypnosis recordings to stop smoking. I quickly learned that hypnosis recordings alone may help many people in a shorter amount of time and less investment in cost. Yes, some people do need a private one on one session, but I advise them to listen to my recordings first, even if it is just conditioning them to hypnosis. Usually, my recordings are the answer to their problem. However, if their challenge is more complicated, then they may require one or more private sessions. If they have used my hypnosis recordings first, they will shorten the number of private sessions required, and at far less cost. *Can anyone be hypnotized?* I would have to say yes, unless the mind is incapacitated by alcohol, drugs, or a serious medical or psychological condition which impairs the person to have a minimal ability to focus attention and follow simple instructions. Being hypnotized is so simple that a child can experience it. Some people are hypnotizable in seconds, others take a little more time. Some people experience a deeper level of hypnosis than others. People can be trained or conditioned to enter more profound levels of hypnosis. Even light levels of hypnosis like daydreaming, with planned, positive, powerful suggestion can result in great life changes for the better. *A stage entertainer, “The Great?”, could not hypnotize me!* Theatrical hypnosis must be entertaining and fast moving. The stage hypnotist keeps the most entertaining people and those who can be hypnotized in seconds. When I entertained about 50,000 people at the Vancouver Pacific National Exhibition in 1980 (see photos in my Video Gallery), I sent many volunteers back into the audience as the show would have been too slow if I kept too many on stage. Over 300 volunteers came on stage wanting to be hypnotized, but I only wanted to keep about 20 or 25 people. In Winnipeg, so many volunteers came on stage that the stage began to collapse. People love to experience hypnosis! *What if I do not wake up from hypnosis?* You are not asleep. It is more like daydreaming. I’ve hypnotized hundreds of thousands of people. People exit hypnosis feeling fantastic, looking forward to their next hypnosis experience. *What if I reveal my secrets?* While hypnotized, there is a part of your mind that stays alert to protect you against inappropriate suggestions. I call this the “subconscious censor”. Hypnotized people possess a very creative imagination. They can spontaneously create wild stories and lies without effort. You do not lose will power in hypnosis; *you* *gain will power*. *What is it like to be hypnotized?* Everyone’s experience is different. You should read firsthand experiences of people who have been hypnotized here <https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/6ffe14f6e0b0b547ae72dabb50f26945a9543413?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvanceromane.com%2Fstop-smoking-testimonials%2F&userId=2047633&signature=c1dfba432c76b3f5>. It is common to feel very relaxed, almost asleep in your body; yet super alert in your mind, as you focus upon the voice of the hypnotist. This powerful concentration upon the hypnotist’s voice causes you to change your mindset to overcome unhealthy habits, become your personal best (many Olympic champions use hypnosis) and to reach your goals for health, happiness, and success. Being hypnotized is like daydreaming, but far beyond and more powerful than meditation or positive thinking because you are using the power of your subconscious mind. Beginners are often unaware that they are hypnotized. *How does the subconscious mind work?* The outer conscious mind sleeps, but the subconscious does not. When our conscious mind sleeps, we may still change position, pull covers up or down, shift sleeping position, be alerted when a child cries or we hear an alarm clock. The subconscious mind does not sleep. Even while anesthetized for surgery, and unconscious, your mind is aware of what is going on in the operating room. As Dr. Milton Erickson often said: “Your unconscious knows more about you than you do.” Your inner mind has “file cabinets” of the many skills, experiences, and learnings of your entire life. These can be retrieved in hypnosis to solve your current problems. The subconscious does not know the difference between imagination and reality. That’s why a dream can seem so real. What if you were hypnotized, and then you so clearly imagined yourself as the person you want to be, such as a nonsmoker or someone with new healthier eating habits; a new lifestyle; a new love for life and yourself? What if your mindset was changed in how you think, feel, and behave so that you believed that you are this new person? Wouldn’t your life change dramatically? The positive instructions/directions/suggestions of the hypnotist also release “happy” chemicals in your body and brain which help direct you to greater health, happiness, and success. *Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.* *Forward Thinking …* *Give yourself a lot of love. Plan your future and live in the moment. Be as good to yourself as you are to others. You never have to be a victim. There are things you can do. What are you going to do differently now for a brighter future? Where in life are you going now?* Vance Romane Copyright 2022 by M.V.P. Ltd.-Romane.
