The Best Model of Hypnosis Explained - Theory of Mind 

Summary of this entire vid: Your brain can only process or FILTER a finite amount of material. Once it gets overwhelmed with messages, then this filter stops filtering properly and messages can then get through (leak) to your subconscious. Hypnosis works in the same manner - when this filter is overwhelmed by a hypnotist or hypnotic things, you can become hyper-suggestive, and easier to manipulate.

This is indeed the best explanation of the subconscious vs conscious mind. You're a great teacher John. I understood more from your teaching than what I learnt elsewhere 👍

I was one of the students in this class when it was filmed. John Melton is one of HMI's finest instructors. The Theory of Mind taught me so much about myself and others. I present my own version of John's teachings in a video on my channel if anyone is interested. The video is only about 9 min and is a condensed version of this class.

This is excellent exercise all NLP Masters should taech and learn again and again, its OK to fail but good to continue! Suresh Purohit Master NLP India

I went through this school.. learned so much more than i expected.

I had an experience where I completely blacked out after having a lot of drinks. My friends say they took me home and gave me my car keys, but an hour later I found myself on the highway, having driven over 30 minutes, perfectly, expect I was speeding. I no longer drink but I just wanted you all to know that the subconscious mind is extremely powerful.

This is a excellent breakdown of how our Critical Faculty works and how we can bypass it to help our clients to make desired beneficial long lasting changes! Kudos to you sir 👏

When you listen to this video just realize that by reading this message your actually talking to yourself which gives you the ability to think of reasons or suspect what your reading is hypnotizing however simply put, now realize how you feel, and no matter how you feel you have the ability to change it to something even more positive, yes relax as if you were sleeping and just allow yourself to be as happy as you can allow yourself and even though you allowed yourself to be happy just imagine what that feeling would feel like if you were ten times happier

John Melton does a great job instructing. I was trained initially in the 70s by Bill and Carol Baras (the Baras Foundation & Hypnos-Morpheus) and Raphael Juliano. I later received training from HMI. They are very professional and have a great program put together.

Nullvote. This is a conceptual theory and it is hard to cover every aspect of how it is involved without making this a 10 hour plus video. Personally, I have trouble with the overload aspect of triggering hypnosis--but I have not disbanded it either. I believe overload (stress) triggers fight/flight which triggers habit (or what has been conditioned the strongest). So yes the S/C is at play, but this does not necessarily mean hypnosis to me. A highly anxious state though can trigger hypnotic behavior--as in stage hypnosis. To me, hypnosis is more about creating a relaxed state of mind IOT circumvent conditioned responses to a behavior. Systematic Desensitization is one such example.

youtube is 2nd chance for those kids that dropped shcool ;)

I would like to point out one small error. In Mr. Melton's lecture he discussed at the 29 minute mark about the Small Coke ads that would pop-up on screen extremely quickly. This 1956 experiment was later proven false. The reason people purchased a greater amount of drinks was due to the confounding variable of weather (it was much hotter during the days of the experiment). This makes us wonder about something known as the absolute threshold, which is the minimum stimulation necessary to detect a certain stimulus 50% of the time. In other words, subliminal messages can and can not work. Psychologists such as Greenwald and Pratkanis (and more) have concluded that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that subliminal messages have any significant effect on individuals. Must have been an honest mistake :)

Good guidance here for anyone developing the mind. Be Cosmic ...

Great Speaker though

US population is also has the highest morbility (Disease) rates in the Wrold, including third World Countries.

Thanks for the Caption, I enjoyed finally

Love John Melton's teaching!

u can hypnotise your own self by relaxing your self and recalling events

Not exactly what i came for but i actually watched the whole thing and loved !

I think the sound is the AC in the room

Overloading is just one technique out of many. I like the video but not that he tried to suggest it was the definition. That's like saying going to work by bus is the only way to get to work. The other ways are more subtle, better organised, based on peace, not complete chaos to get a zombie type blackout where you have a small frame where a person can instill or be instilled something new.

hey this is really wonderfully explained video !!! great communication skills...

nice chap & good teacher. Thanks 4 uploading

I am a Certified medical-Support Clinical Hypnotherapist. I disagree with certain things in this presentation. The most important mistake is the way he defines the effect of the Sympathetic nervous system, also called the fight or flight response, on hypnosis. What actually happens is the sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system is switched to the parasympathetic aspect of the autonomic nervous system, which allows deep relaxation which relaxes the critical faculty of the conscious mind and makes us more suggestible. I have studied a lot of different hypnotist and I’ve never before seen anyone say that triggering fight or flight causes hypnotic trance.

Notic the mnemonic tones and shapes/movments. At beggining

explains suggestions, not hupnosis

This guy is awesome

While listening to this with headphones, I picked up a sub frequency oscillating in the background. Don't you mind guys call this a binaural frequency or something? Is this added to the video to do something to the listener? If it is, don't try sneaking it past us synthesizer guys, our ears are tuned to this.

This sounds like Scientology jargon. The subject matter of this video has nothing to do with Scientology. Plugging your message at the end of the video does not validate Scientology just because the info in the video has mainstream appeal and by all accounts seems legitimate.****I mean, "attention units"---Jesus christ. Just discard all info--simple as that? Scientology propaganda.

that has little or nothing to do with hypsnosis.. it´s a mix of everything possible, ID, Super ID and a bunch of other shit. Too long, too boring

Explain: I am sitting and I see the calendar of to my right who has the photo of my favorite model or my beloved.. I react to it automatically (sub-consciously) all the feelings and emotions rush in. In above situation .. I am not overloaded with message , I does not think logic and all those filter even though i bypass to the subconscious.?

Ah, Melton. The master of smoking cessation programs. His classes were always a lot of fun. This brings back memories.

word......makes a little more sense to me now that youve explained it.....but i was assuming since it was an alcohol induced blackout that you were aware you were driving while you were driving but forgot.....then snapped out of the blackout still driving with no memory of the rest

This issue of "subconscious" vs. "unconscious" will not be solved easily. To this day, people argue about those two terms...but I use "subconscious" in line with the late master of psychiatry Dr. Harry Stack Sullivan, whom I absolutely adore (his books on dreams are mind blowing). Anyhow, I think it's powerful that I could drive without being aware of my driving... I just think that's powerful.

I'm no doctor but I can say that if you do something and suffer from amnesia, after the incident, then it's possible that you were conscious when you did what you did. However, I feel that the "unconscious," as you call it, might induce amnesia too. I'm assuming you're aware of this fact, most common is suppressing a traumatic event. In my opinion, when I blacked out, that was an alcohol induced hypnotic state...in other words, I was driving under a trance="unconscious operation"

It's really simple math. I was simply trying to explain to PhiberZpd how the numbers were added up, not espousing on the fact or fiction of the percentages. however, I do believe the numbers presented are fairly accurate. I'm not the one who came up with the numbers, only repeated them. There is no as* involved.

Impressed with this guy, but doesn't have a sense of the world. 'We work the longest hours; ever hear of Asia man?

there are known knowns and there are known unknowns but there are also unknown unknowns pulp fiction

I’m a self taught hypnotist. However I’m not a certified clinical hypnotherapist and would like to someday pursue hypnotherapy certification.

I don't know why but I have believed in hypnosis for as long as I can remember, about 60 years, and in the last 25 years I have made numerous efforts of various kinds to find a good hypnotherapist or....a hypnotist but without any success. This is an informative video, maybe there is still hope for finding one - if I can get John Melton's help!😊How do I do that?

Почему нет русского перевода?

Ok, the subconscious mind us about 88% of the mind. The conscious and critical mind make up the other 12%. The "9" next to critical mind is the age in which the critical mind begins to develop...NOT a percentage. 88% + 12% = 100%

Hipnosis can cure anxiety completely?

This was explained so well. Thank you

just saying i was just interested a bit in this stuff so i watched this and it was way more interesting than i expected thank you for sharing :)

Your circle wasn't perfect. How could you!?

How to get the transcript / subtitle for this video.

sure makes sense the way he explains it. reminds me of my college days listening to my favorite professor.

23:59

What Clarity.. great Teacher.

He has letters after his name, C.ht - certified hypnotherapist. He is wearing a suit and tie - serious, professional, not anyone can wear one of those. Oh wait anyone can. And he has people watching this live, which is... oh wait actually anyone can do that. I don't know if this presentation is good or bad, there's probably some good stuff in it, I just hate these bullshit authority games.

What about the creative part?

I also hear it! and play synthesizer lol

"9" indicates age, not percentage.

why send your kids to school when you have youtube

alguien me puede ayudar para ver este video en español por favor?

@PhiberZpd he wrote the 9 for the age when you get the filter.

and by semi-circle i mean circle

@Guitcad1 doubt it...

Plo

Yes, probably haha!

Brother! lol

subliminal

Yo, he hypothesize you in the start of the video!! 😮 Watch it slow motion and its actually him saying hes going to hypothesize you into thinking you say a video about hypothesis but its really him just in his underwear watching tv, wtf

first of all there is no subconcious.....there is concious mind and unconcious mind.....2ndly what does you driving while blacked out have to do with the power of mind?

knowledge has made this guy think a lil too highly of him self

Ok. let me be honest: he is way too prolix and wordy. He could have said the same thing in a small, pratical and direct way.

9:27

because when you give them the internet, their subconscious usually over powers their self-control and they go straight to the games and porn...

I hope this guy progressed his public speaking since this video was made. zzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz

The speaker could not be more boring if he tried.

V=

Its part in you brain, not in your mind

So boring. To much talk for little obvious useless information.

you talk talk talk about N O T H I N G why bother
