There is some confusion amongst LDS members about hypnosis.
There is some confusion amongst LDS members about hypnosis.
The LDS church quotes below (and their accompanying articles) clarify
that hypnosis is not to be used for entertainment purposes (often called “stage hypnosis”),
but it can be acceptable, helpful, and effective when conducted for therapeutic purposes
by competent, well-trained professionals (called “medical/clinical hypnosis”).
Accordingly, the following quotes clarify the LDS church’s position on using hypnosis for therapeutic purposes:
“The use of hypnosis under competent, professional medical supervision for the treatment of diseases or mental disorders is a medical question to be determined by competent medical authorities. Members should not participate in hypnosis for purposes of demonstration or entertainment.”

Christian Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy = Pondering and Meditation
This Blog is to discuss Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy from a Christian viewpoint, as well as the traditional clinical views. I want to promote an understanding of Pondering and Meditation (Scriptural terms for what the world is calling hypnosis and hypnotherapy) as our natural God given spiritual gifts of mental trance states, in which we can more fully connect to the divine within each of us, known as our Spirit, Intelligence, and Conscience
