I was hynotized years ago to quit smoking. The doctor was really sick with a cold at the time and he was about 85 years old. I didn't think there was any chance it would work.

That was delightful! My uncle was an engineer who also had a great interest in hypnosis and hypnotized me a few times as a child (10-12.) I remember one session, he said he had a long piece of string and was tying one end around my left wrist and that there was a deflated balloon at the other end of the string. And that with each inhale I took the balloon would fill and the air within the balloon would react like helium and causing the balloon and subsequently my hand to raise. Higher and higher with each breath. Until my arm was raised straight over head. I remember the session ending and my folks were so tickled by the whole experience and I was amazed by it. That’s such a beautiful core memory. It was wonderful to observe the practice in this session. Thank you, both.

[@Raidcrusher]

I kinda missed the part, where Dr. Spiegel says to close the eyes again and un-hypnotise. I always thought its important, otherwise it will damage your brain. What do you think about it?

The test itself was incredible to watch, but that last part where they chat about how it's all happening in the brain was fascinating. "You were complying with the instruction, but also showing that you can really reorganize your interception of your arm." It's like the instructions allow the brain to let go of 'ownership' of the arm while still feeling that it's attached to the body!

I wonder what I did in my childhood. Every night I used to lay on my back, trying to make the room pulsate (or what you call it), - when the room feels like it shrinks, expands, shrinks, expands...and the sounds change. I tried to do this every night because it felt so good. I didn't manage every night, but quite often. Was this a hypnotic state of mind? I am not able to do it now. l am 64 years old, but I still remember this as a nice "hobby",

[@77IGURU77]

I had this as a child i panicked it happened to me when i woke up. The room was also expanding shrinking and a weird sound. I don’t know what it was its like you are at a different dimension / frequency at the same time. Its very interesting. That sounds is the same when you get out of your body or get sleep paralysis. But that time i was awake and had full control over my body and my mam and dad saw me walking. I want to know how i can do this on purpose. Al my memories came back when i read your comment. How did you do this?

[@TheRm65]

Although this session was intended just as a demonstration, notice that Dr. Huberman's unconscious took the opportunity offered by hypnosis to deal with his pain, for which no suggestion had been given. I've seen similar things happen many times, showing that the hypnotist is merely a facilitator of the phenomenon, not necessarily the director. Good video.

So now I do lots of Yoga 🧘‍♂️ :-) I roll rarely as the people I know are too aggressive and that's okay I've had a good time I don't need to hurt myself. And I can protect myself just with the look on my face, my demeanor and if a fight breaks out I'm calm and feel capable still - Train with people that just want to roll at an equal pace and if they're not on the same page as you just don't do it. But I always practice Jiu Jitsu in my life - it's not just fighting. Thank you :-)

Your shoulders being level is likely related to your right side lower back pain. When you sit and lean to one side there are small muscles which become pinched and trigger what is sometimes severe lower back pain. I always used to sit with a lean but sitting straight up, in addition to taking a few 10-20 minute walks per day, assuming you are often sedentary, helped me more than anything. The best solutions are often the simplest ones.

Does this happen to people who are hypnotizable?

[@gretajane802]

Hypnotizability is a spectrum. If you are not easily hypnotizable you can learn how to do it. You have to remember that you are in control. You have to want to get into the hypnogogic state. It kinda like when you are on the verge of sleep. I was not easily hypnotized, but I read books on self-hypnosis and practiced and do it on myself. So useful for fixing my issues. I fixed some serious OCD issues!

You state "a lot of power to have over someone" but in reality Dr. David Spiegel is simply a guide. Think of it like learning the piano you could have the best teacher and still learn nothing if you don't follow the instructions. Hypnosis is like that where all hypnosis is self-hypnosis.

@hubermanLabclips. First question about hypnosis. Can this be a treatment for mental distress? i.e. I have a friend who is a pacifist to the point of not being able to be around anyone who challenges him in anyway. He says he is 'broken' and runs away. He is 65. He also sees this as totally normal, but knows that has impacted his romantic relationships. If you try to address what he means by broken, it becomes worse. So although he says he wants to talk, he really wants to justify and tell the other person why they are bad. A viscious circle. Two questions: 1. Rather than years of therapy, can hypnosis be used to change the perception of broken into something like say: might make him laugh when he says it? If so, 2. Where does one find a reputable hypnotist in their local area?

Huberman’s voice 🥰

[@health-of-it]

As a Rapid Transformational Therapy Practitioner and hypnosis is one of the key component that I use with all my clients

[@LiveLoveLevelUp]

When he said I hope you are, I had flashbacks of the sunken place haha!!

[@smoothieguy]

That was trippy! I did not expect that ... I also did not expect to Believe it and I believe it😮

[@davidfuturissimo467]

I can't imagine ever being able to be hypnothised. Even if I wanted to

[@mayanaicker4866]

Closed minds learn nothing!

[@cherylnathanodette]

As fascinating as I find this, it just really makes me giggle.

[@Chizuru94]

Fun fact: That's a defense mechanism by the brain. Like, it'll also happen when some people are trying to get hypnotized.

[@Yojimbo711]

Thank you for these doctor!!!!!!

[@momcatx2]

I would really like to be hypnotized to address a couple of past events, but I honestly believe I am too self conscious to be hypnotized.

[@LaNoireDetruit]

I don't think hypnotizability is affected B Self consciousness. I am very self conscious and from what I experience when doing stuff like guided meditation, "Autogenes Training" (don't know the English term) and NSDR, I gather I am pretty hypnotizable. Just give it a try! :)

[@lottiek2699]

Any hypnotherapist will tell you that “all hypnosis is self-hypnosis.”

[@LoretoEsTorres]

9:37 “… DLPFC inverse connectivity with the PCC…” ??? Can someone explain these seemingly specialized and technical acronyms? What was he trying to say in what appears to be an explanation of the mechanism of effect of the hypnotic suggestion. I am at a loss…😮😕🤔 Anybody?! Please?

[@alexanderwindh4830]

Spiegel should do more hypnosis videos! In this format

[@elizabethanderson2968]

Very envious, as I can't be hypnotised

[@Neurowill]

oh my god this is GOLD

[@anon54232]

It’s a bit disheartening that Dr. Huberman’s hand did not float back up from the table until hearing “now watch what’s going to happen”. Almost like, “now do the thing so it looks real”.

[@dylan8487]

Is it necessary to constantly keep your eyes up while they are closed? At 2:47 it looks like Andrew's eyes came back rolling down from above.

[@hubermanlab]

Yes they can repeatedly roll back in hypnosis.

"As your body is heavy, you develop a strong sensation to adore me and only me for the rest of your life and propose to me immediately"

[@RT-zh8iw]

Thank you for the demonstration. I believe that therapies like Ego State Therapy have a hypnotic component. Hearing the previous podcast on how hypnosis works and its efficacy made me wonder if that is why Ego State Therpy is so effective and quicker than talk therapy or CBT (cognitive behavior therapy). As a therapist I see people recover from trauma, procrastination, low self confidence every day with Ego State and saw no progress when I used CBT. Thank you for the amazing work in these podcasts.

[@jf1341]

is this a plug for Ego State? 😅

[@veronica_._._._]

@@jf1341 Primacy and repetition,✔️

[@Felix-vh7ov]

Thank you for exposing yourself to this experience and letting us learn, lord bless 🙏🏽🫵🏽

[@prasannakc9459]

Love and Respect for both best Doctors in the world from Nepal🙏🙏🙏🤝🤝

[@david7putvin]

I’d rather teach people to grow cannabis . Teaching people to be tricked and sold is useful to a lot of hypnotists though. Way to keep THOSE jobs secure.
