Synopsis

Hypnotism: A Complete System Of Method, Application And Use, Including All That Is Known In The Art And Practice Of Mesmerism And Mental Healing, Prepared For The Self-Instruction Of Beginners As Well As For The Use Of Advanced Students And Practitioners by Lauron William De Laurence. This comprehensive manual surveys the science and practice of hypnotism, mesmerism, and suggestive therapeutics, arguing that mental forces underlie bodily disease and that psychology is essential to medical success. Drawing on historical notes about Mesmer and Braide, the author presents practical protocols for testing subjects, inducing hypnotic sleep, and triggering post-hypnotic suggestions, catalepsy, anesthesia, and other states. The book furnishes numerous methods for stage demonstrations, self-hypnosis, and treatment of various nervous disorders, addictions, and even crimes, with case studies and cautions about safety and ethics. It blends philosophical reflections on mind and matter with step-by-step instructions for physicians, clergymen, teachers, and lay readers, aiming to empower readers to harness the mind’s influence for healing, education, and personal development.
