Hypnosis Gets Positive Recognition

An anonymous reader writes to tell us the New York Times is reporting that, despite its negative history, hypnosis is now getting some favorable attention from neuroscientists. From the article: "These extensive feedback circuits mean that consciousness, what people see, hear, feel and believe, is based on what neuroscientists call "top down processing." What you see is not always what you get, because what you see depends on a framework built by experience that stands ready to interpret the raw information - as a flower or a hammer or a face."

    Re: shyness with women
    With the utmost of seriousness I recommend you look into the following resource:
    www.doubleyourdating.com

    Get past the shlock hype of the webpage. Read a few of the 'newsletters' and get the e-books for starters. If you're really serious about changing your life, go for the 'Mastery' DVD series.

    There are some entries at wikipedia, but more informative info can be had by reading the 'discussion' pages there.

    It's all about you- not about them. Make yourself some good luck!
