You've seen it on television, or paid a visit to the local cinema where you've watched this film about a man who wants his wicked way with this lovely young girl. He has deep set, mesmeric eyes from which you can't look away. He commands her to lie on his couch, says a few arcane words over her and proceeds to ravish her!
Either that, or you switch on the Tv just in time to see a dozen population on the stage being told to do the strangest thing by this man dressed in a cloak and silk top hat. One man's running colse to the stage on all fours, barking like a dog. A woman's gurgling like a baby. They must be stooges, simply acting for the audience, who are having a high old time laughing at their expense.
After all that, do you believe in hypnosis? It's extremely unlikely, and you have a right to be skeptical. Is it any wonder, then, that hypnosis has a bad name? Why population think it's a load of drivel or if there honestly is such a thing, then the population who fall under a hypnotic spell must be very weak-willed indeed.
Hypnosis, though, has been used for thousands of years, although no-one's been honestly clear what it is. The ancients found they could put population into trance-like states and help them with pain and other ailments.
It wasn't until Anton Mesmer came along in the 18th. Century, that hypnosis made its appearance into contemporary times.
Now of policy we've met Mesmer before, haven't we? Dear old Mesmer and his magnets. He cured quite a number of fashionable population in 18th. Century Europe, by hypnosis and psychosomatic means. The question was that he didn't have a clue why it worked. He opinion it was because of some universal fluid that's within us all. His name for it was 'animal magnetism.'
If only he'd realized the truth, that hypnosis is perfectly natural and that this 'external power' of his had honestly nothing to do with it.
A number of scientists were commissioned, (among them Benjamin Franklin), to look into the veracity of Mesmer's claims. They themselves were pretty skeptical to begin with, and not surprisingly they threw out all the claims made by the poor old chap. They didn't throw them out because he made false claims of effecting cures. They found they were perfectly valid.
But scientists must have a fancy for acceptance and since they could find no indication anyone of this 'universal fluid,' indeed, no fancy at all as to how these cures were effected, they threw everything out. Mesmerism, or anyone he liked to call it, must be a load of rubbish.
Most population today don't have any idea what hypnotism is or why it works and that includes some hypnotists! Is it any wonder, then, that the normal collective are suspicious of it?
Oh yes. You have a right to be skeptical.

Everyone has a popular story that is dusted off once a year to vaccinate against materialism of Christmas holidays.
After the popular Bible stories, among the more popular pieces are Charles Dickens' "Christmas Carol," Clement C. Moore's "A Visit From St. Nicholas," and O. Henry's "Gift of the Magi."
Perhaps more approved this year is a short poem called "Christmas Bells" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Though written 139 years ago, "Christmas Bells" has single meaning. It is an expression of reborn faith in God while a period of doubt and dismay about a great war.
Longfellow -- America's first, great poet -- was a devout Unitarian, a dedicated anti-slavery abolitionist and a devoted family man. Tragedies keen loved ones shook these foundations upon which the poet had built his life.
Tragedy
Early in 1861, Longfellow's wife, Fanny, burned to death when she dropped a lighted match on her long dress. She was melting sealing wax onto envelopes for relatives.
The envelopes contained locks of "golden" hair from their youngest child -- five-year-old Edith.
Longfellow's second son, Ernest, in later years associated how the five children were the inspiration of his father's popular poem "The Children's Hour."
"While walking up an down with baby Edith in his arms, my father composed -- and often sang to her -- the lines sometimes attributed to mom Goose."
There was a small girl
Who had a small curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good,
She was ve-ry good,
But when she was bad
She was horrid.
Longfellow rushed to the aid of his screaming wife and tried to smother the flames by throwing his arms nearby her.
It was no use. Fanny died three hours later. Henry was badly burned and could not attend her funeral the next day. His face was so scarred after the ordeal he could not shave and so grew a beard.
Civil War
While still grieving his wife's death, the Civil War started -- and with it, Longfellow's fervent hope for abolition of slavery by peaceful means.
Seventeen-year-old Charles Longfellow - oldest son of the famed poet -- slipped away from home to join the Union Army.
He had shot off his left thumb in a hunting accident. This kept him out of the infantry which was his first choice. Instead, he was inducted as a hidden and assigned to the First Massachusetts Artillery.
Charles proved to be a capable soldier and soon was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the First Massachusetts Cavalry.
In this capacity he fought in the Mine Run Campaign at New Hope Church, Virginia, on Nov. 27, 1863. He was severely injured with a bullet wound in his shoulders, near his spine, and was evacuated to a hospital near Washington, D.C.
When father Longfellow was informed of this, he and son Ernest went to the hospital and was given permission to take Charles home to recuperate.
Faith Tested
During the long days and nights that his son hovered in the middle of life and death, Longfellow's faith in God wavered. It seemed that his family was wasted, the war useless and God was dead..
In short, he suffered the same torment many folks do today when the birth of Jesus - Son of God - is challenged, and the escort of the Iraq War doubted.
As Longfellow sat nursing his son straight through a long Christmas Eve, he reflected upon the meaning of life. At daybreak he was roused from his inner crusade by the sound of church bells announcing Christmas Day.
It was a symbolic call to Longfellow. He responded with the following poem in which you, too, may find inspiration for carrying on an additional one Year.
Christmas Bells
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, well-known carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men!
And idea how, as day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men.
Till, ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men!
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men!
It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent.
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men!
And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
"For hate is strong,
"And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men."
Then pealed the bells loud and deep:
"God is not dead; nor doeth He sleep!
"The Wrong shall fail,
"The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, goodwill to men!"

These days, it is quite rare for me to see parents who will take the time to look for toddler christening gowns for their babies. It does make me wonder either this is a dying tradition or not.
Modern Parents
Times have changed as parents these days do not seem to place much emphasis on religion any more. What more when we talk about christening ceremonies when some of the friends I know no longer even attend church due to their hectic work lifestyle. So you can just fantasize how extra busy they come to be when they start having babies. This coupled with the fact that they have to work over time due to massive work load. When I asked one of my friends who recently had a baby daughter a few weeks ago on either they would be going to church and having their baby girls christened, she told me that they may not even have the time what more to even go look for any toddler christening gowns!
Do Not Need Christening Outfits
There was also an additional one friend of mine whom I recently had a chat with. Their baby girls is already nearly 6 months old but both parents have not had the time to even attend church. They come home from work and on Saturdays they spend that time cleaning up the whole house and doing all the laundry. By Sunday, they try to catch up with as much sleep as potential since their week days are spent traveling nearby for work purposes. Since they did feel a tinge of guilt when I asked them on when was the last time they went to church, they felt sheepish and mentioned that it was about a year ago. They will probably make it a point to have their baby daughter christened but do not see a need to look for any Irish christening gowns for the occasion. The normal baby clothes that she is currently wearing will be enough.
Does The Church Mind?
The church does not seem to mind either parents dress their babies or toddlers up in any christening outfit as the church leaders have been lamenting the fact that their church congregation numbers have been dwindling. So when parents make it a point to even want their babies to be christened, the church leaders are not going to make much of a fuss about what they will be wearing as long as they are decently dressed. At least citizen still make it a point to even attend church!
Summary
It would seem that finding for christening outfits for your child to be christened is becoming a dying tradition these days at the pace that life is animated for some parents. It will do well for parents to take a breather and think the significant milestone that a christening event would advantage their child.
