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.

Is hypnosis used for interrogation?
Yes, hypnosis has been explored as a tool for interrogation, particularly in attempts to enhance memory recall and retrieve information. However, its effectiveness and reliability in this context are highly debated among professionals. Ethical concerns also arise, as hypnosis can lead to the creation of false memories or suggestibility. Consequently, while it may be used in some situations, it is not a widely accepted or standard practice in interrogation.
Can you physically change with hypnosis?
Hypnosis CAN NOT directly change someone's appearance; however, it can be used to tell a person to do certain activities to help. (e.g. do push-ups to help increase your muscles, or eat less calories so you can lose weight, etc.)

Is it against the Bible to be hypnotized?
One Contributors opinion
The Bible tells us to submit our minds to God, not to a hypnotist. Hypnotism is an occult science and can lead to demon possession. The Bible says "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:" in Philippians 2:5, and also, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." in Philippians 4:8. In hypnotism, you do not control your thoughts, you let someone else control your mind. That is against what the Bible teaches us to do with our minds.
Another Contributors opinion
I have to disagree with this. Hypnosis is not demonic. It does not lead to demon possession. The hypnotist does not control you when you are in hypnosis. You are in hypnosis all the time.....the TV, the movies etc. So does the bible say that you can't watch movies or TV? Don't you watch these? What about driving a car? Do you drive a car and forget how you got there? You are in hypnosis. When you read you are in hypnosis. Have you fallen in love before? You are in hypnosis. Are these spoken against in the bible? When you go to school do you think you are not in hypnosis? How about when you go to a sermon at your church? Do you think the pastor does not hypnotize you by repetition, by making you sing, by preaching to you over and over and over again. Making you read passages form the Bible over and over and over again. The more you do it the more you believe it. Come on lets get real. The bible is not meant to be taken absolutely literally. It is full of metaphors left to the interpretation of the reader - that is exactly what hypnosis is metaphors left for the interpretation of the person receiving it. If hypnosis is so bad then how come it helps so many people. So what is the real difference? There is none.
An opinion:
"Hypnotize: 1. Put somebody into hypnosis: to put somebody into a state of hypnosis. 2. Fascinate: to fascinate or charm somebody utterly. Synonyms: fascinate, mezmerize, spellbind, entrance, enthrall, compel, absorb."
"Hypnotize" is what the "Serpent" did to Eve.
The "nachash"... translated "serpent" in the KJV from its "hiss" is more like a "whispering enchanter." Evidently, he spoke to Eve in a soft whispering voice of "secrecy" conveying an air of intimacy between them. He was the epitome of the "traveling salesman" [selling his 'merchandise' - Ezek.28:16]. He sowed seeds of doubt in her heart that God was holding back the truth from her... not telling her everything. The subliminal message was that 'God can't be trusted... trust in me.'
"'You will not surely die,' the serpent said to the woman. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God..." (Gen.3:4-5 NIV)
Satan [that 'old serpent' - Rev.12:9] "fascinated" Eve. He hypnotized her. He mezmerized her... entranced her, enthralled her, compelled her... spellbound her.
The human mind is easily influenced from any number of directions... the five physical human senses are easily desceived. TV, commercials, ads, public speaking, and more, are geared to entrancing, compelling and initiating a response in those "mezmerized" by their messages.
The gospels are filled with instances of people "possessed" of unclean spirits. Jesus cast them out of people right and left, it seems, as commonly as we take our next breath.
The human spirit is subject to them. Some people "dabble" in spiritual pursuits, seemingly asking for trouble. Others are mezmerized without any conscious thought. Most people aren't aware that anything's going on at all.
Drugs can dull and open the mind to hypnotic influences, also... and hamper one's ability to fight them.
The "business" of hypnosis, from an individual's perspective, is a conscious decision on the part of a person to allow someone else to "take over" their spirit [intellect]... to clinically dull their mind. It's a willing surrender of one's sovereignty... also opening the mind up to outside influences, demonic or otherwise.
Being "hypnotized" isn't "against" the Bible. It's recorded in the Bible to be a fact of human nature. The human mind is naturally subject to it... unless one is aware of it and subsequently able and/or prepared to fight it... or "overcome" it [ideally, through the power of God].
From another contributor:
Hypnosis is not against the bible or God. Stop relying on misinformation from people who do not understand hypnosis. and get educated about the subject. Fear of the unknown is the real enemy. Here is the Catholic Churches official stance on hypnosis that was established back in the 1950's.
Catholic Church Stance on Hypnosis:
From the allocution to doctors by Pope Pius XII in 1957 which directly references the medical use of hypnosis and his allocution from 1956. Excerpt below:
3. HYPNOSIS
But consciousness can also be affected by artificial means. That one may obtain this result by the application of narcotics or by hypnosis (which one can call a psychic analgesic) that does not make any essential difference in the moral point of view. Hypnosis however, even considered only in itself, is subject to certain rules. may We be allowed on this matter to recall Our short allusion to the medical use of hypnosis which We made at the beginning of the allocution of January 8, 1956 on painless natural childbirth.
The issue which occupies us now concerns hypnosis practiced for clinical purposes by the doctor, while keeping the precautions that medical science and ethics require from the doctor who employs it as well as from the patient who subjects himself to it. On this given use of hypnosis, will apply the moral judgment, which We will formulated on the suppression of consciousness.
But we do not want that We extend purely and simply to hypnosis in general what We are saying on hypnosis at the service of the doctor. This, in as much as it is a scientific object of research, cannot be studied by any person indiscrimately, but only by a serious scientist within the moral boundaries valid for any scientific activity. It is not the case of any circle of laymen or ecclesiastics, who would occupy themselves with it as with interesting subject by way of pure experiment, or even by simple pastime.

Catholic Answers apologist Jimmy Akin also had a fairly good article with his view of the Catholic thinking on hypnotism in his blog.
How do you stop telepathic hypnosis from being done to you?
In the first place if you don't want to be hypnotised you wont be, Hypnosis is a state of hyper suggestibility in which no one can make you do any thing that is against your basic will. In the second place there is at present not a shred of evidence that telepathic hypnosis exists so you wont have to stop any thing.
Where does the word hypnosis originate from?
The term "hypnosis" comes from the Greek word hypnos which means sleep. The words hypnosis and hypnotism both derive from the term neuro-hypnotism (nervous sleep) coined by the Scottish surgeon James Braid around 1841. Braid based his practice on that developed by Franz Mesmer and his followers ("Mesmerism" or "animal magnetism"), but differed in his theory as to how the procedure worked.

Does hypnosis help to find a misplaced item?
It can do - with the right sort of person.
A friend - an actor/ drama teacher (very "emotionally engaged"; adept at role play etc) was extremely fraught because she could not find her car keys. I spoke to her - gently but forcefully - telling her "Stop; take a deep breath; relax!".
I touched her shoulders gently whilst saying "you've probably left them somewhere really obvious". I then said - quickly and forcefully - "Stand up straight!" whilst taking her hand and lifting it up, and then pressing it down by her side: she entered a deep trance - her eyes rolled up in her head, flickering rapidly, and her face relaxed totally, at which point I told her gently to think about the last time she could remember having her keys...
After a few seconds, she shook her head, her eyes returned to their normal position, and she laughed, remembering that she'd earlier placed her keys in an inner pocket of her shoulder bag - for "safe keeping".
She was very grateful... and had no awareness that she'd just been hypnotised. Wouldn't work with everyone - she routinely follows directions and engages in role play; plus as a friend she did not object to my touching her - but, as stated earlier, in the right circumstances with some people, hypnosis can be very helpful in helping to find misplaced items.
