Hello Alex,

I completely respect anyone else experimenting with hypnosis and self-hypnosis. I just think the application you mention here is fallacious and your comment riddled with popular misconceptions of what even constitutes hypnosis – referring to the conscious/unconscious duality of mind is something no credible academic has ever referred to – certainly the founder of modern hypnosis James Braid makes no reference to the conscious/unconscious model, Clark Hull or R White in the 1930s and 1940s, Barber and Sarbin in the 1950s and 1960s, Spanos in the 1970s, Kirsch and Lynn in the 1990s and all the modern scholars and academics – none of them refer to that notion of the conscious/subconscious. I am unsure that it is anything to do with hypnosis at all.

I know little about clairvoyance other than it is largely unproven and healthy sceptics tend to refute it. I think it has no place in the field of evidence-based hypnosis, such notions perpetuate myths about this field and serve to move it into the dark ages rather than moving it forwards.

I appreciate and value your comments here, and I hope it was sincere and not just a means of getting a backlink to your website that tells people how to predict lotto numbers.

All that said, if you absolutely nail it, and can successfully replicate results using your method over and over, get in touch with me again and I’ll yield in my stance and congratulate you sincerely.

With my very best wishes to you, A.

I have a strong suspicion that the right person being hypnotized by the right practitioner could predict events much in the same way that remover viewers predict future events.

Hypnosis frees the mind and opens up portals that we know nothing about. I developed two experimental videos that place the subject in a light trance and then promotes an environment that facilitates the prediction of Saturday Lotto numbers. It is a form of self-hypnosis and it certainly does not replace hetero hypnosis. It would be wonderful to find another hypnotherapist that shares my beliefs, not just for financial gain (which would be great) but also as a discovery. I have been able to predict up to five numbers using my video, but the conscious mind keeps interfering because the trance induced is very light as it can be expected with self-hypnosis. I would be interested in your view about this one. 🙂

Alex.

Spot on Gareth 🙂

From what I have seen in the papers, those that don’t either end up blowing the lot or ending up in terrible circles of failed relationships.

I don’t remember where I read it but I think the phrase was
