Mental expectancy is another gigantic part of hypnosis. “What the mind expects to happen tends to be realized” - “Thought becomes reality.” I’m sure you have heard the expression of a “Self fulfilling prophecy.” I cannot tell you how many times people have come to see me for physical problems and they’ve already tried everything. They have had multiple MRI scans, been through a whole host of doctors. Actually here is the progression of what people typically do… They go to a doctor, then another doctor, then another one, then to a specialist. Then they go to a counselor or a psychologist and they still don’t find relief. Then they go to an acupuncturist, a tarot card reader and they still haven’t found relief. Then they’ll “Try” hypnosis and guess what? They get fixed!
When these people walk in my door I tell them, I move into their personal space a bit to make my point, “You will be healed of this problem you have if you do what I tell you to do. I’ve done this so many times in the past and we can easily get rid of this for good.” I also tell them not to “Try” or “Hope” because these are actually failure words. Anytime you’ve ever tried to do something or hoped that it would work, you probably failed at it. We will achieve this change right now, today, end of story.
Mental expectancy works in other parts of our lives as well. When you were a teenager did you ever go to a music concert? You buy the tickets months ahead of time and then you count down the days on the calendar. You play that bands music more and more as the date of the show approaches. Now it’s finally the day of the concert and you get in your car with your friends, how exciting! This is going to be great! Well of course it will be great. You just spent several months anticipating this night and building mental expectancy towards it.
Another interesting example of mental expectancy is the preacher you see on TV, you know the ones I’m talking about. It’s a huge stadium with twenty thousand people and he’s up there with the microphone talking excitedly through a million watt PA system. There’s a single file line of people coming up to him and he’s healing one person after the next, they’re falling to the floor. He speaks to them as if he is God. His voice just blaring loud, he grabs their forehead with his hand, shakes their head back and forth, and then smacks them on the head with his bible. They fall down and when they stand up, they are healed! And you know what? A lot of them are… but why? Mental expectancy and… are you ready for this? Hypnosis!
These people have been waiting months for this big healing event. They’ve had that card on their refrigerator and have looked at it for weeks and weeks. On September 27th I am going to get this bum leg healed! When they arrive at the stadium, the grandeur of it all, so many people! They get in that single file line and advance one by one to the podium where the preacher is. They are seeing the people ahead of them falling to the floor and then getting up healed. Talk about critical bypass factor of the conscious mind, man that’s it! They finally get right in front of him and he hits them with his bible which causes their nervous system to spike way up, then way down into hypnosis, (I do this same thing every day in my office, it’s an instant induction), and they fall to the floor and don’t know what hit them! They are assisted to their feet and yes, it’s a… it’s a miracle! And I would agree with that, it is a miracle, a hypnosis miracle.
