Good Article

So I read this article in Glamour magazine that I found interesting.  


Now, I personally am NOT into new age philosophy in the least of ways, however, I found this article to be an interesting, concise argument for hypnotism.  The thing I found most appealing was the fact that, if you read the article in the physical issue of Glamour, you will see pulled quotes of whom it worked for and whom it didn't - it doesn't try to be the have all, be all fix for everyone; it simply makes the argument that it's worth consideration for some people.   This makes it seem like less of a snake-oil sales attempt and more of a real, potential means of helping people.

I know multiple people who swear by hypnotism - from family members to people I work with - some of whom are the last you'd expect to swear by it (such as a fifty-something cynical, practical man who insists he could not have quit smoking without it).  

Also, I found it interesting that those who are dreamers are strong candidates - I am DEFINITELY a daydreamer (to the point that it often got me in trouble in school growing up).   From the brief description, I think I would be the perfect candidate.  Too bad I don't have any bad habits (ha, ha, ha) - at least none that I actually want to change....

You knew i would reply to this - daydreamers are good subjects because the scm is the "dreaming" mind/"sleeping" mind. These people usually have good imaginations. I also note that people w/excellent memories are good subjects. I could go on and on, but hey, I'd rather go shopping on the Jaime site.
