Live 1800’s Old Hypnosis Training Demos
Part 4
By Adriana James with Takahito Ko – Japan
Takahito Ko demonstrated a simple yet powerful induction from 1815 by Abbé Faria
This is very interesting – an induction from 1815 – this is before hypnosis was called hypnosis (term coined by James Braid around 1843). How interesting to have hypnosis before there was such a thing!
This induction comes from Abbé Faria.
Abbé Faria (Abade Faria in Portuguese), or Abbé (Abbot) José Custódio de Faria, (1746 -1819).
Inspired by the work of Franz Anton Mesmer Abbé Faria was one of the developers of what was to become the reasonable and scientific study of hypnosis. He departed from Mesmer’s theory that hypnosis happened as a result of “animal magnetism”, and came up with the correct concept of “the power of suggestion” and even “auto-suggestion”. A pioneer in the work of demystifying hypnosis, Faria observed that even one of the deepest stages of trance – somnambulism – is a natural phenomenon, and that the hypnotist does not exercise any “power” over the hypnotic subject, a theory brought to its utmost highs by Dave Elman in the 20th century.
“Nothing comes from the magnetizer; everything comes from the subject and takes place in his imagination generated from within the mind. “
