What Mesmerizes You?
Maybe you are saying, “Oh dear, Ellie is back on a historical crusade of romancing yet another dead hypnotist.” And I have to say guilty. I even moved the movie, Mesmer, up on my mail-in video account. So, hopefully my writing is not old and stuffy history and you will continue to indulge me. Ah, Mesmer, Mesmer, Mesmer…
Maybe I will keep the Sunday Question easy, but keeping with my new intoxication. Mesmerism. Yes, yes, yes, we have talked about the historical context, but the word is now out there, often unhooked to Mesmer. If you look it up in Webster’s, it is defined as “spellbound.” I suspect Mesmer was spellbinding at some point, but it is not the same as the result of Mesmer’s practice.
Here’s the question:
When and what in your life has completely mesmerized you? Has it changed your life or was it a passing moment? For those with hypnosis experience, how does it differ for you?
