Friday 18th November at 7.30pm Southend Central Library Hypnosis - Fact, Fiction & History What is hypnosis, and how does it work?       Hypnosis is a topic that fascinates many people, but what really is it, and how does it work. Is all hypnosis actually self-hypnosis?, and is there even such a thing as hypnosis at all? Tonight, we will be examining these questions and trying to provide some answers.      Our journey takes us from the history of hypnosis and on into how people may be hypnotised, and it's effects. What about stage hypnosis - and can a hypnotist really make something think that they are a chicken and act as such?      This should be a fascinating evening delving into the power of the subconscious mind.....       Admission: £6.50 Reserve your places by contacting Mike on 07725 - 197424 or e-mail:   mike@thoughtexplorers.co.uk    Your Host...    Mike Culley  MSc.
