Frontiers of Hypnosis for Research Purpose

Abstract

After exposing the various opportunities offered by modern hypnosis, hypnosis for research purposes is examined and the most advanced possibilities offered by it, such as Psychic Archaeology, Regression and Hypnotically Induced OBE (HypnOBE - Hypnotic Out of Body Experience). In fact, after having demonstrated the possibility to control the OBE through hypnotic suggestion, it has been possible to deepen the knowledge of this kind of experience realizing many OBE with different subjects and with some of them the experience has been repeated many times, so much to add together some hundred hours of HypnOBE. This allowed to define well not only the induction modalities, but also the standard reactions and the tricks to get around fears and obstacles. Finally, we examine in more detail the new unexplored panoramas on which HypnOBE has opened a window, such as the bidirectional channelling controlled in hypnosis, which, with about sixty hours now accumulated on some particularly gifted subjects, has shown a perfect reproducibility, so much so that this technique is now also applied in other research centres.
