The only time you should worry about acting foolish is if you tend to act silly all the time, which certainly isn't true. A hypnotist who performs on a stage for the sake of entertaining others participates in a totally different style of hypnosis. Stage hypnosis is much lighter and geared toward having fun. Most of the dialogue is directions to the subjects, so there isn’t a lot of information exchanged.

 

A consulting hypnotist, which is the style of which Waking Lions Hypnosis participates, utilizes a relatively extensive process. The hypnotist gathers information from the client and has an in-depth discussion surrounding the issue so the correct words are used. To my knowledge, there's never been a consultant requesting barnyard animal demos. 😉

 

Something even more important to keep in mind is that your subconscious is alert and active--it will never allow you to do anything you're are opposed to doing. The state of mind a person is in resembles that peculiar moment when you first get up in the morning to swat your alarm clock and roll back over. If someone were to ask you a question, you’d be so disinterested, you wouldn’t want to take the time to think of a clever answer. A hypnotized person is completely relaxed, and oftentimes is a little disappointed they can’t stay in that state even longer.
