Tickets will be available at the door at regular price)* *Answers to Frequent Hypnosis Questions* *Can anyone be hypnotized?* 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 easy 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. Planned, positive, powerful hypnotic instructions can result in dramatic life changes, even with light levels of hypnosis. *A stage entertainer, “The Great Orlando”, 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, https://vanceromane.com/photo-history-of-romane/romane-in-the-80s/ <https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/38579e2d03fe9b508459cddcb97e0d7f0459ac83?url=https%3A%2F%2Fvanceromane.com%2Fphoto-history-of-romane%2Fromane-in-the-80s%2F&userId=2047633&signature=3ef70b5ea57d4cb5> 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 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 relaxing hypnosis! *What if I do not wake up from hypnosis?* You are not asleep. Hypnosis is more like daydreaming. I have hypnotized hundreds of thousands of people and everyone “comes out” of hypnosis feeling fantastic and 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 highly creative imagination, and 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. 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. Your effortless powerful concentration upon the hypnotist’s voice causes you to change your mindset to overcome unhealthy habits, to 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 effective than meditation or positive thinking because you are using the power of your subconscious mind. Beginners are often unaware that they are hypnotized. *How and Why did you become a hypnotist?* I became interested in hypnosis at age 9 after reading an article in a *Popular Science Magazine*. I then started studying everything about hypnosis that I could find. In 1967, I attended the University of Manitoba to study psychology and graduated in 1971 with a B.A. (Honours) degree. I was then employed as a psychological technician at the Psychiatric Institute in the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba. My work involved teaching progressive relaxation to high anxiety hospital patients and administering psychological tests. This was followed by private session hypnotherapy at the Medical Dental Centre in Polo Park Shopping Centre in Winnipeg. In the subsequent decades, I continually studied the field of hypnosis and completed many professional training seminars throughout North America and accumulated a massive collection of reference books and recordings about hypnosis, guided imagery, mind power, motivation, success, and related subjects. For over 50 years, I presented thousands of educational, inspirational, and entertaining hypnosis presentations to audiences throughout North America. This created public awareness of the power of our own mind, as well as “the best medicine” for people, fun, and laughter. I also presented thousands of live group seminars to help the public with problems such as smoking, weight, stress, pain, self-esteem, and other issues. I authored two self-help hypnosis and mind power books and created over one hundred hypnosis recordings to help people in their own home. I did all this for two reasons: First, I was fascinated with the power of hypnosis. Hypnosis was often the last resort chosen by people, but the one that often led to success or healing. Second, most importantly, *I wanted to help people to enjoy a happier, more successful life.* Throughout my life, I have found personal happiness and joy in helping hundreds of thousands of people in person and millions through radio and television. *How does the subconscious mind work?* The outer conscious mind sleeps, but the inner subconscious mind 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. Even while anesthetized for surgery, and unconscious, your subconscious mind is aware of what is going on in the operating room. As Dr. Milton Erickson, M.D often said: “Your unconscious knows a lot 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 is 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? My direction and positive instructions also release “happy” chemicals in your body and brain for greater health, happiness, peace of mind and success. I look forward to giving you my all to help you to permanent success!
