Ray also acknowledges that some individuals are better hypnotized than others, but this is often linked to their level of engrossments towards activities, rather than their personality. According to the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scales, which were developed in the late 1950’s as a “yardstick” for susceptibility at Stanford University, approximately 95 percent of individuals can be hypnotized to some extent. This societal “score” has remained stable over…

Part 1: Anxiety and depression are two of the most common mental health concerns in our society. Anxiety and depression are not the same, but they often occur together. It 's not uncommon for someone with an anxiety disorder to also suffer from depression. In fact, over 50% of those diagnosed with depression are also diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress, but when it becomes excessive is when it is classified as a disorder. Some research suggests that…

It began with noble intentions, though the intentions would be weighed down with a call of duty he was not prepared for. A boy who was more inclined to write poetry and create beautiful things would grow into a man with the same creative aspirations. That boy would one day be known as Pope Gregory I and he had decided early that he would forego the expectations of a politically-driven family that assumed he would become an important public figure. He chose a life of service to the people. The…

The room itself was grand and ancient, with walls of rough hewn stone, polished granite floors, and a ceiling as high as ten men. There were eight long tables, the shortest on a raised dais along the far wall, and seven more set orthogonal to the first and extending to the entry. Sheaves of wheat and sprays of spring blooms adorned the walls, and cornucopias spilled fruits, nuts and candies onto each table. There were dancers, at least a dozen of them, draped loosely in silks of gold and rich…

Romance- Although it isn’t an original My Chemical Romance song, and it contains no words, I found the music to be very beautiful and hypnotic. Honey, This Mirror Isn’t Big Enough For The Both Of Us- This song is classic MCR,( extremely emo), but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Vampires Will Never Hurt You- I didn’t like the particular set-up, or the whispering featured at the end and the middle of the song. The lyrics weren’t my favorite either. Something just didn’t click for me. Drowning…

System of a down wrote a song called “B.O.Y.B” or bring your own bomb. They wrote this incredible protest song about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. This song came out in 2005 after the war had already been going on for a bit and continues to go on. They really tried to get you to think about what was happening and what the war was really about. Their use of sarcasm and metaphors really makes you think, and gives you a great song to listen to. The song is definitely a hard rock song, with a beat…

Like the Pythia, many oracles would preform what Michael Flower describes as inspired deviation in his book The Seer in Ancient Greece. The inspired diviner is one who is cast into an altered state of consciousness through means such as meditation, hypnotic rituals, or ingestion of drugs.
