Episode Sixteen features John Moyer talking about Hypnosis and YouTube. This is part two of a two part interview.
My Key Takeaways:
- John explained the difference between hypnosis and meditation: They're essentially sister states of mind. you're going from a beta brainwave state down into alpha and theta brainwave state. So you're experiencing the same brainwave state, but one of the things that happens or several of the things that happen physically is your body is releasing dopamine. Your body is releasing endorphins. So you feel really happy you're in a really, really good mood. You're also releasing antioxidants. So your body is releasing these chemicals that are anti-cancer, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and increased melatonin.
In the middle of the afternoon, if somebody takes 15 or 20 minutes to do a meditation or hypnosis session, you can get an energy boost as a result of that. - He also talks about the various brainwave states. Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta is when you're asleep. But the highest brainwave state is actually called Gamma. And that's like a super consciousness. It's like the aha moment when you're trying to solve something and all of a sudden, out of nowhere you get this idea. what happens in the Gamma brainwave state is all of the areas of your brain simultaneously just link up and they're in sync so they're instantly communicating. Instead of having to search for an idea over here, put something over here, all of a sudden, your brains coming together, and it justcomes to you.
- Regarding Hypnosis, John explained that the brain can't tell the difference between what's real or what's not. In their mind, they're experiencing these things and their mind is telling them this is real. So the brain is saying, this is a real experience.
- He also offered a few of the various steps to get someone in to a Hypnotic state.
One of the things that you do is called pacing and leading where you're going to tell two or three facts that they know to be true. And the fourth thing that you might say to them would be like the suggestion.
There is also a a confusion technique where you kind of overload the conscious mind a little bit and confuse the conscious mind. The conscious mind is distracted and then you're able to get a suggestion into the subconscious mind.
Another technique is called anchoring. So, you probably notice a lot of hypnotists, snap their fingers and give a command like 'SLEEP.' When they do that, they're creating a conditioned association in a person's mind so that when they hear snap the snap of the fingers and the word sleep the subconscious mind is anchored to that word or that sound and it's going to accept the command and direct the body to go to sleep. - All of Johns skills from stagecraft, writing, editing, filming, and audio production have aligned to make him a successful YouTube Content Creator.
He said YouTube, wants your channel to be very specific to an audience. - John is extremely grateful for all of the experiences that led him to be where he is now.
- His message simply stated is 'What We Believe We Can Be'.
