You’re listening to the Keith Blakemore-Noble radio show, helping you transform your deepest fears into your greatest strengths. Here’s your host, Keith Blakemore Noble…
[00:00:29] Hello, dear listener, welcome back to another episode of the Keith Blakemore-Noble radio show. This is another of those solo episodes. It’s just you and me. What are we talking about today? Well, as you may or may not know, I’m a hypnotist. One of the things tools I use to help people transform their deepest fears into their great strengths is hypnosis. And very often I get questions about what is hypnosis. There’s a lot of questions people have about hypnosis. What it is, what it is and what could it do? What can’t I do? And so on. And I thought, you know, that would make for an excellent episode. That’s what we’re going to do today. Today we are looking at hypnosis. What is hypnosis? We had to explore what it is. We’re going to explore what it isn’t. We’re going to look at some common myths around hypnosis.
[00:01:20] That’s what we’re going to spend the next 20, 25 minutes doing, just that.
[00:01:25] You know, one thing we will not do is we will not be demonstrating hypnosis in this episode. Simple reason being, I know people sometimes catch this in their in their cars or whatever.

Hollywood is a massive cause of this this myth that people have this fear. People have around hypnosis.
[00:02:20] And that is that they they think that hypnosis is mind control and it’s not.

The person in control is the patient, the person being hypnotized. They are the one in control, not the hypnotist. Hypnosis is not mind control. Hypnotist cannot make you do things against your will. And we’ll explore this a little more depth as we as we go through this episode. But that’s the biggest thing I wanted to to get out there upfront. Hypnosis is not mind control. There is control. Control is in the hands of the person being hypnotized. So what is hypnosis and what we’ll explain. We’ll explore why that is the case as we go through this through this episode. So stick with us. If you’re wondering, well, how does that work? Stay with us. And it all will all will become clear, as I say. So what is hypnosis? Well, hypnosis is best described as
