Why and how does swinging a clock in front of someone perhaps help in placing someone into a trance like state

Question

to access the subconcious?

I think this is the stereotyped method used in the past.

really what is the reason that this worked?

why and how so?

Thanks for your answers!

Answer 1

Damaging a person more would seem to imply that they are undergoing hypnosis as an already damaged person seeking a remedy.If the person were not already damaged, then they might be, perhaps a trigger word could be implanted that would cause an irrational act that could place them in a dangerous sitation.

Answer 2

You can use anything, it's simply a way of asking someone to concentrate or something that allows the bigger part of the brain to relax and thus the person relaxes. It's simply calming, this doesn't allow access to the Unconscious, on T.V and the Internet, they don't teach proper method's of Hypnosis or Regression (Taking someone back to access the subconscious and deal with problem's) as this can be very dangerous if it isn't done by a Professional and done in a controlled environment. You can cause great harm to someones Psyche (Psychological State) if you don't know what you're doing.

Answer 3

I think the principle is just the same as why the Buddhist monks chant.

It is a way of shutting down the brain from thought - to leave the mind receptive to other things. Regards. UK
