Why some hypnotist uses rituals to start hypnosis?...
and why some hypnotist calls their subject monkeys?...
...
...

Hypnosis doesn't really start or finish its really an ongoing process a hypnotist captures and leads that process.

All hypnotists use rituals

"A ritual "is a sequence of activities involving gestures, words, and objects, performed in a sequestered place, and performed according to set sequence."[1] Rituals may be prescribed by the traditions of a community, including a religious community. Rituals are characterized by formalism, traditionalism, invariance, rule-governance, sacral symbolism and performance.[2]"

Some hypnotists see their hypnotees as objects of fun for their own entertainment. Monkey is an indication of their attitude towards them.

I have never heard a hypnotist call their subjects monkeys - you are hanging out with the wrong people.

Doesn't ant call his subjects "hypno-chimps?"

Not in my hearing!

I call they "Friends"... but you are right Tony, sometime I'm with the wrong people.
mindpunisher, can you tell me more about the ongoing process of hypnosis? did you write about it in an other thread?

Nico I have Written a few posts on this idea elsewhere but when I get time I may write a report of some kind.

Tony Ant used the term in one of his videos can't remember which one I think it was Manchurian Dvds I saw a small section of one of the DVDs And I'm sure he has referred to that term on here to.

Ive had volunteers playing around like chimps in shows. So I'm not going to criticize.

Mindpunisher, I will read with interest your report ...
