Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a psychological state in which the mind is in something like a sleeping state. The mind is more open to suggestion. Hypnosis is used as a therapy to help people stop habits such as smoking. It is also used as a questioning technique to help people bring back memories they may have repressed.

I do not believe that is possible. My answer is: No.
No and yes.
Formal hypnotization usually requires the consent & cooperation of the subject. Because, however, hypnosis is a naturally occurring state entered into by most people on a fairly regular basis (eg when absorbed in a film or book, daydreaming, or when performing everyday tasks "on autopilot" whilst thinking of something else), it is common for people to be, in a sense, hypnotized without their knowledge. Many people have been in hypnosis ( eg dancing for protracted periods with someone they're attracted to, without noticing the passage of time, and being only really aware of that person & nothing else ), but remain quite unaware of the fact.
Also, people in intimate/ familiar situations who are on the edge of sleep ( in a hypnoidal state ) may be hypnotized without knowing it by someone with whom they feel relaxed/ comfortable. It might, for example, be possible for a lover or spouse to induce hypnosis in a half asleep partner by gentle massage & suggestion. They wouldn't really know they'd been hypnotized (and probably won't remember it later), but their intimacy with the hypnotizing partner makes such situations atypical - not like the usual contexts in which hypnotization occurs.
So, generally, people can not be hypnotized without their knowledge & consent, but it is possible for hypnosis to be induced in unknowing subjects under certain very specific circumstances.
How do you hypnotize people with everyday objects?

AnswerSome hypnotists do ask the subject to focus his or her gaze on an object. Concentrating the vision on a simple object can help prevent visual distractions from entering the mind. Then the subject can better focus on the verbal suggestions of the hypnotist. AdviceAsk Darren Brown.
The hidden observer in hypnosis refers to?
the fact someone who is hypnotized still has a part of herself that knows what is going on.
Can psychiatrists hypnotize their patients?
* The two are not related. Telepathy is 'from one mind to another' and examples are: When someone is thinking of someone and they phone within minutes or a little longer. Another example is a mother having a feeling her child is in trouble and most adults have actually experienced this, but some have not realized it or a thought that someone they love will be in an accident and it does occur in some cases. Scientists are not only studying humans vs humans re Telepathy, but also humans vs pets. The psychic phenomena by which communication occurs between minds, or mind-to-mind communication. Such communication includes thoughts, ideas, feelings, sensations and mental images. Telepathic descriptions are universally found in writings and oral lore. In tribal societies such as the Aborigines of Australia telepathy is accepted as a human faculty, while in more advanced societies it is thought a special ability belonging to mystics and psychics. Although not scientifically proven, telepathy is being increasingly studied in psychical research. History: "Telepathy" is derived from the Greek terms tele ("distant") and pathe ("occurrence" or "feeling"). The term was coined in 1882 by the French psychical researcher Fredric W. H. Myers, a founder of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR). Myers thought his term descrbed the phenomenon better than previous used terms such as the French "communication de pensees," "thought-transference," and "thought-reading." Research interest in telepathy had its beginning in Mesmerism. The magnetists discovered that telepathy was among the so-called "higher-phenomena" observed in magnetized subjects, who read the thoughts of the magnetists and carried out the unspoken instructions.Soon other psychologists and psychiatrists were observing the same phenomena in their patients. Sigmund Freud noticed it so often that he son had to address it. He termed it a regressive, primitive faculty that was lost in the course of evolution, but which still had the ability to manifest itself under certain conditions. Psychiatrist Carl G. Jung thought it more important. He considered it a function of synchronicity. Psychologist and philosopher William James was very enthusiastic toward telepathy and encouraged more research be put into it. When the American Society for Psychical Research (ASPR) was founded in 1885, after the SPR in 1884, telepathy became the first psychic phenomenon to be studied scientifically. The first testing was simple. A sender in one room would try to transmit a two-digit number, a taste, or a visual image to a receiver in another room. The French physiologist Charles Richet introduced mathematical chance to the tests, and also discovered that telepathy occurred independent of hypnotism. Interest in telepathy increased following World War I as thousands of bereaved turned toward Spiritualism attempting to communicate with their dead loved ones. The telepathic parlor game called "willing" became popular. Mass telepathic experiments were undertaken in the United States and Britain. Experimental findings: Most often telepathy occurs spontaneously in incidents of crisis where a relative or friend has been injured or killed in an accident. An individual is aware of the danger to the other person from a distance. Such information seems to come in different forms as in thought fragments, like something is wrong; in dreams, visions, hallucinations, mental images, in clairaudience, or in words that pop into the mind. Often such information causes the person, the receiver, to change is course of action, such as changing his travel plans or daily schedule, or to just call or contact the other person. Some incidents involve apparent telepathy between humans and animals. Telepathy seems to be related to the individual's emotional state. This is true of both the sender and receiver. Most women were receivers, as case findings showed, and one possible explanation is that women are more in touch with their emotions and rely on intuition more than men. Geriatric telepathy is fairly common, this may be due, it is speculated, to the impairment of the senses with age. Telepathy can be induced in the dream state. It appears to be related to some biological factors: blood volume changes during telepathic sending, and electroencephalogram monitoring show that the brain waves of the recipient change to match those of the sender. Dissociative drugs adversely affect telepathy, but caffeine has a positive effect on it.During his 1930 ESP experiments J. B. Rhine also made some discoveries concerning telepathy: It was often difficult to determine whether information was communicated through telepathy, clairvoyance, or precognitive clairvoyance. He concluded that telepathy and clairvoyance were the same psychic function manifested in different ways. Also, telepathy is not affected by distance or obstacles between the sender and receiver. A telepathic experiment conducted during the Apollo 14 mission in 1971 proved distance is not a barrier. The experiment was not authorized by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), nor was it announced until the mission was completed. Astronaut Edgar D. Mitchell conducted the experiment with four recipients on Earth, 150,000 miles below. Mitchell concentrated on sequences of twenty-five random numbers. He completed 200 sequences. Guessing 40 correctly was the mean chance. Two of the recipients guessed 51 correctly. This far exceeded Mitchell's expectations, but still was only moderately significant. Theories:
Although over the centuries various theories have been advanced to describe the functioning of telepathy, none seem to be adequate. Telepathy, like othe psychic phenomena, transcends time and space. The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus put forth the wave and corpuscle theories to explain telepathy. In the 19th century, the British chemist and physicist William Crookes, thought telepathy rode on radio- like brain waves. Later in the 20th century the Soviet scientist L. L. Vasilies proposed the electromagnetic theory. The American psychologist Lawrence LeShan proposed that each person has his or her personal reality, and the psychics and mystics share separate ones from other people which allow them to access information not available to others.In conclusion telepathy, like the other forms of psychic phenomena is elusive and difficult to test systematically. Enough evidence is available to reasonably substantiate the phenomenon does exist. But, quantifying it seems to be another matter. The phenomenon is closely connect to the emotional states on both the sender and receiver which creates difficulty in replicating experimental results. Attitudinal factors also influence the phenomenon. The best that researchers can hope for is to have supportive and receptive subjects in experiments that produce similar results. HYPNOSIS: Hynosis is not a state of deep sleep. It does involve the induction of a trance-like condition, but when in it, the patient is actually in an enhanced state of awareness, concentrating entirely on the hypnotist's voice. In this state, the conscious mind is suppressed and the subconscious mind is revealed. People experience this every day (day-dreaming) or, engrossed in a movie and unaware of one's surroundings. Some people rely on Hypnosis to get over certain fears; quitting smoking or reaching back into the subconscious to remember a trauma in their lives that has been causing them anxiety throughout their life. Although some articles state that 'all' people can be hypnotised this is not true.
How does hypnosis give you confidence?
When in hypnosis someone is usually very relaxed, highly attentive and focused, and extremely responsive to suggestion: a sensitive therapist can utilize this state of mind to help the client reflect camly on the possible causes of low self-esteem, consider ways of reframing her/ his self perceptions, and provide personalised coaching in methods of dealing with the underlying problems.
It is generally much easier to think constructively about personal issues when feeling relaxed and secure, and hypnosis is a tool, if used appropriately, to help someone come to terms with, and learn to manage effectively, any matters which are engendering self-esteem problems. A thoughtful, sensitive, perceptive (and sensible!) hypnotherapist can work wonders with self-esteem issues. It is, however, vital to choose the therapist carefully - the client must feel totally comfortable with him/ her because trust and a good rapport are essential if effective therapy is to occur.
Good therapists take their time, and always put the client first. Beware anyone promising rapid cures, or those claiming to know what your problem is after only a brief meeting. If the "therapist" can't be bothered to get to know you, your specific circumstances etc, nor tease out your thoughts and fears before proceeding, then don't waste your time and money!

Depends upon your definition of Hypnosis, Mesmer came up with Animal Magnetism (origin of the word mesmerize) but cant really be called hypnosis. Erikson is deemed the father of modern hypnosis methods and thinking. There are many individuals in between the two who have left there mark and helped make hypnosis what it is today
I assume you mean how to hypnotize people? There are many ways, depending on your intentions. You can use suggestions while speaking to someone to get your desired outcome, like them picking your number or item in a box, this is called conversational hypnosis, or covert hypnosis. If you are looking for therapeutic reasons, there are many and all this is way too much to get into a post here
Why does a person get hypnotized?
hypnosis is a comforting,relaxing experience and some people want to be hypnotized simply to get rid of stress.another benefit of hypnosis is that it can help us to achieve attitudes which we are finding hard to achieve ourselves by allowing the subconscious mind to be conditioned with certain suggestions.This is similar to the way we obtain negative thought patterns in the first place for example-I grew up in a rough city and am wary of people,it is through negative subconscious mental conditioning whereby psychologically damaging factors such as insults or threats have caused me to adopt new attitudes gradually,sometimes this goes unnoticed and this makes it hard for us to change such attitudes that have negative effects on out lives.Hypnosis can give us the help needed to change such attitudes simply by conditioning the mind in the desired direction,eg.if I wanted to rid myself of my fear of people a hypnotists suggestions would condition my subconscious to have more trust in people,benefitting my life.
Another reason people like to be hypnotized is the feeling of safety it brings through the abscence of responsibilty,essentially you feel no fear or guilt of thoughts or situations that may arise.This appeals to people who have issues with protection which make them live in a way which increases their feelings of being protected,like a girl being drawn to a tall muscular man even though he is sure to be a terrible boyfriend.
The commands given during hypnosis are also a comforting factor in one whose life is void of command or equally in one who respond negatively to command as these commands are not harmful or dangerous in any way and is a contrast to the way the person normally gets a command ie.a woman who gets bossed around at work all day gets commands to work harder causing her stress,she goes home and listens to a hypnosis recording to unwind,in the recording the commands are simple only commanding her to relax and rest.The hypnotist is comforting rather than hurtful like her boss,and she enjoys her ability to experience a hypnotic trance as well as the way the commands she is well able to do are no longer hurtful but comforting,beneficial and confidence building.
Does self hypnosis really work?
Whether hypnosis works or not is often a much debated question. Much of the success of hypnosis has to deal with the presupposition of the person or subject involved in the hypnosis.
There are many documented cases of hypnosis proving to be beneficial with everything from quitting smoking, losing weight all the way to being useful in therapy sessions.
While some people are adamant that hypnosis will not work with them, they really don't know unless they try it.
Having an open mind is often the best way to approach it. You can learn conversational hypnosis you can communicate with the sub conscious mind of other person without their notice.
What is the easiest way to hypnotize someone?
I have personally been hypnotized by a professional hypnotist. She told me anyone can be hypnotized and she has never failed to be able to hypnotize someone. You cannot do so against someone's will, nor can you make someone who is under hypnosis do anything against his or her will. When you are hypnotized you are aware of what is being said to you at the time. This a cooperative process between the hypnotist and the patient.
Putting yourself into a trance is different and one would have to learn to do so. Again having professional help makes it much easier. .
Answer A person doesn't go into a hypnotic trance without a lot of practice and many people don't succumb to being hypnotized no matter what you see on TV or at a theater.
no, its a myth popularized by the cobras use of stealth.
It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you are wanting to hypnotize someone to create a desired outcome, like them choosing what you have in a box, you would use covert hypnosis, also known as conversational hypnosis.
How do you get the hypnosis TM in platinum?
There is no TM for Hypnosis in any of the versions of the game. Unfortunately, the only way to learn hypnosis is through breeding or your Pokemon leveling up. Level up haunter and it might get hypnosis.
There are actually many ways to achieve a hypnotic state, and most don't involve an exterior person. Most forms of hypnosis or 'trance states' in different cultures and methods are self-administered.
If you're trying to hypnotize someone else, here are a few things you can do to help yourself out:
Go to a private place and settle down by either sitting or lying on something comfortable. Loud noises or background motion can distract the conscious mind and interrupt the brain cycles needed to get to a 'trance state.'
Some hypnotists will say it's easier if the person being hypnotized closes their eyes, while others maintain that it doesn't matter at all. The key may be in a suspension of disbelief for the other person, or in tonality and pace of sounds or vibrations. To what extent each of these claims is true is arguable, however.
Have the participant close their eyes and relax. Encourage them to allow their thoughts to slip away and loosen their body tensions. There are several relaxation scripts or tapes that can help prepare a participant for the hypnotic state.
Have the participant take slow, deep breaths.
There are formative tests that can be done on a participant to gauge the depth to which they are in a hypnotic state, including checking for eye movement by passing an object in front of their eyes and seeing if the eyes follow the object or if they skip and move around in their vision field (rapid eye movement to fixated points is a sign of consciousness, not a trance state).
Once the participant is in a satisfactory trance state, the purpose for having them in one can then begin to be administered.
Rhythmic repetition of positive statements has (by most accounts) been the most effective at producing positive results from a hypnotic state.
When you feel you have sufficiently made the statement and that the entranced person has heard the statement, understood it, and that it has been deeply 'embedded' in their subconscious thought, you may end the trance state at any time.
It's generally accepted that it's better to slowly revive participants from a trance state, simply because they could be disoriented and it's kind of an unfriendly and unpleasant experience for them to be brought back to consciousness in a harsh manner. This may or may not affect the long-term results of the hypnotic suggestions.
There's a link below this that goes to a web page discussing a text by a noted hypnotist that may be of interest. It's under the heading of 'related links' a few lines down. That might also be worth reading.

How can you make people hypnotized?
Okay look Yes LSD can make you hallucinate. So can LSA, mescaline, and mushrooms(though not it is not common to hallucinate off mushrooms).Moon-pods is a wonderful example of how deep the "rabbit hole" goes! Marijuana can not make you hallucinate, I have no idea where anyone got that. You can lace maijuana with other drugs to cause the desired effect, though this will not occur using marijuana alone. A very good source for in formation on these substances and more go to Wikipedia. I found it to be extremely accurate. (pssssst. this is coming from the actual experience of my own usage of each of these psychedelic substances)
