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!

Fantastic!!! Thank you both! Your narrowed attention looking to your hand for a long time and other signals of being hypnotized! And Dr. Spiegel's voice is perfect! Was hypnotizing me too!!! 😊

[@MariaFlores-uh9bg]

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?

‘“I feel cohesive” That’s such a Prof Huberman line…..made me giggle …then made me think . In working through trauma you want to integrate all the parts of you, be whole again. Even if you’re not sure what “whole” really feels like, I think you crave that feeling of cohesiveness with yourself.

@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?

Thank you so much for making this video Rickson. I am 57 years old and the game has changed. I was very aggressive younger Muay Thai and Bjj fighting...... now my neck hurts and my joints are sore. 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 :-)

1. Both their voices match the baritone of the guitar intro/outro. Say in Huberman voice, “Soooothing.” 2. Wonder if hypnosis can help people fall in love or re-kindle romantic relationships.

[@valentinepetric3689]

I think it can yes, i just think that the side of relationships hasnt been studied like that. Im not sure what your take is on the metaphysical world but its all related to the subconscious mind just like hypnosis is. Have a look at the power of the subconscious mind by joseph murphy for a little more insight

it only can if the person deeply wants it. Hypnosis is accessing your subconscious where your belief systems are.

[@rosyloveslearning3013]

[@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.

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",

[@Gtx8869]

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.

You can watch a variety of KZbin videos that have a hypnosis script for a variety of things (to help sleep better, etc.), just to see if it helps.

Another interesting Monday thanks to you. I must confess that after watching most of your videos I feel a change for the better in me, in understanding the brain activity and using the tools you have shared with us on each and every topic. I really liked the topic of the interview today which opened a window for me to understand myself and gave me tools to deal with emotions and events I am experiencing in the present and past. I have a request . I am an artist, my whole life is a sequence of multidisciplinary creation. It seems to me that I am in meditation at the time of creation. Things happen without my prior planning. Everything is flowing and I am in a tremendous awakening. The topic of the "Third eye" mentioned today and in another interview, is very intriguing to me. Does it exist in the brain? Or just a definition for inner vision? I look forward to next Monday in another interesting topic. Thanks
