Dr. William Wesley Cook's Practical Lessons in Hypnotism was originally published in 1901, but this scholarly study is as relevant as it ever was. In spite of the skeptics, hypnotism has long been a psychological science that has earned the respect of many in the medical profession (notably, Sigmund Freud) and hypnotherapy is widely used in many treatment programs. Here, Cook approaches the subject in a constructive way, covering the history and philosophy of the science, as well as practical techniques and considerations. Most compelling are the studies of hypnotism's many applications, such as in self-healing, anesthesia, behavioral therapy, and even persuasion in the field of business. Cook's work also includes intellectual discussions on tangential-and fascinating-subjects such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and magnetic healing. Comprehensive and erudite, it promises satisfaction for the curious as well as the studious.

This book describes procedures designed to induce spiritual or mystical experiences and altered states of consciousness. Whether these experiences are purposefully induced or occur spontaneously and unexpectedly, these altered states of mind and body invariably confront us with the oneness, timelessness, beauty, truth and perfection of ourselves and of the universe. They offer an unbiased and expansive view of the world that challenges and replaces our limited way of knowing and perceiving. They connect us to each other and fill us with a deep appreciation of the fundamental forces of nature. Ultimately they convey an essential but inexpressible truth that removes all our anxiety or pain and leaves us with a feeling of freedom, contentment and inner peace. Even a brief taste of such a mystical or transcendental experience seem to change people in dramatically positive ways. One momentary immersion can change a person's psychological and emotional conditioning forever, perhaps even altering basic hormonal, neurological and biochemical states. Designed for the therapist wishing to induce these states in their clients or the individual seeking positive change, this timely book contains all you need to induce these states through the power of hypnosis. It will prove extremely popular with those within the Mind Body Spirit community seeking true enlightenment.
