What are some signs someone is trying to hypnotize you? June 26, 2025

I always find this an interesting question because it overstates what an individual can do instead of looking at the forms of hypnotism that are used in our society in general.

First, understand that all the advertisements that are created are meant to hypnotize one into buying crap that they do not need and do not want…till they are exposed to the same messages repeatedly. Often persuasion techniques are used to do the selling, but because the average person has no idea what these techniques are, they have no way to understand how they are being used to manipulating them.

Second, every time a politician or preacher gets in front of an audience they use their ability to emphasize certain words and use the change in tempo or pacing to get you to believe what they are saying. These are indeed forms of hypnotism, whether these folks are aware of the fact. Every time a preacher uses his hands to tell the congregants to rise or to sit down they are using the focused attention of the congregants to follow the directions given. Focused attention is indeed a part of hypnotizing others. Even faith healing is a form of hypnosis, with the heightened focused of the congregant on the preacher, fully believing they will be healed. Notice that the congregant falls to the floor when touched on the head, this being a very relaxed state, the relaxed state of hypnosis. 

However, the largest hypnotizers these days are computers and smart phones, where one is placed in a heightened emotional state which is indeed a state of hypnosis. This is especially true with the news that one is constantly receiving through the internet which is created to play on one’s emotions to keep them stuck on the news. If you have noticed 98% of the news that one gets through news programs and worse, the shows with multiple commenters on a given subject is negative and it gets heated. These are the situations that you need to be aware of and stay away from as much as possible.

So, I would be much more concerned with what you allow into your subconscious mind from those who can play with your emotions by focusing your attention on what they want you to, instead of a single person who may be out to harm you in some fashion by hypnotizing.
