Myth 3 – It is Something to Do With The Eyes |
|
This is a common belief, partly reinforced by some hypnotists telling candidates to “look into my eyes”. It is also reinforced by the fact that most of us hypnotists have to focus quite intensely on our subjects to observe their unconscious responses to what we say to them. However I have hypnotised people without looking at them, and over the phone (with their cooperation of course). The success of some hypnosis tapes and CDs also reinforces that eye contact is not needed.
