Complete Hypnotism, Mesmerism, Mind-Reading and Spiritualism

MP3 Audio CD. Complete Hypnotism, Mesmerism, Mind-Reading and Spiritualism is the classic work of A. Alpheus, originally published for the first time in 1903. Despite being somewhat dated and not fully being a manual on hypnosis, the book is a curious and highly instructional, as well as anecdotal and entertaining read that has withstood the test of time, still being able to captivate the attention of young hypnosis enthusiasts today.

While exploring the history and basics of hypnosis in its beginning pages, the book also talks a lot about certain details, uses and elements related to hypnosis that have been discovered by the brightest minds of that time, as well as psychologists and researchers dating back to the well-known father of modern day hypnosis, Frederick Anton Mesmer.

With the knowledge of more than 100 years of documented experiences, occurrences, experiments and theories associated with the somewhat obscure alteration of mental perception through practices such as hypnotism, spiritualism and even mind reading, Alpheus presents his own account of cutting edge hypnosis research from the 19th century.

Through anecdotal information, an entertaining style and many references to early pseudo-science ideologies, the book definitely shows a clear and detailed account on how hypnosis was used and understood back then. Also, the book gives us a rare opportunity to view the way in which the concept and practical application of hypnosis has evolved over the years, and could even be helpful for scholars seeking the origins of many of the techniques and ideas associated with the image and view of modern mesmerism today. Whether you?re looking to learn more about hypnosis, understand its overall structure and mechanism, or get better acquainted with the level of understanding that the researchers and hypnotists of the time had, this book by A. Alpheus is perfect for you.
