Hypnosis has been one of the most popular invention in mental therapies.  Not only in mental therapies, hypnosis also has many functions. Hypnosis has been practices since ancient times. The term of hypnosis came from the Greek word Hypno for sleep. American psychological Association defined hypnosis as  procedure in which a researcher, clinician or hypnotist suggest that a person will experience changes in sensations, perceptions, thoughts, feelings, or behavior.

There are degrees of hypnosis. Under light hypnosis, the subject will become sleepy and follow simple directions. Under deep hypnosis the person experiences dulling of sensory perception, similar to that of anesthesia. During under deep hypnosis, the subject can even undergo medical procedures with no additional anesthetic. It is used to make a subject behave in unusual ways such as to suspend the subject’s body between two chairs in a posture that is completely.

Hypnosis can’t be practiced in everyone. In order word not everyone can be hypnotized. About 20 % of adults have a low susceptibility to hypnosis. It means that they can’t be hypnotized easily. About 65-70% adults have medium susceptibility and the remaining 10-15% have high susceptibility to be hypnotized.  One of important point is that hypnotic susceptibility is not related to introversion, extraversion, social position, intelligence, willpower, sex, compliance, gullibility, being highly motivated. Susceptibility is correlated to remarkable to respond to imaginative suggestions. Individual who has this trait are highly susceptible to be hypnotized.

How is someone hypnotized?
            The procedure that is most used in hypnotic is hypnotic induction. Although every clinician, magician, illusionist etc. do hypnosis different one another, but this procedure must  always be. Hypnotic induction refers to inducing hypnosis by first asking a person to either stare at an object or close his or her eyes and then suggesting that the person is becoming very relaxed. Above is the recent following hypnotic induction
1.      Hypnotist creates a sense of trust so that the individual feels comfortable.
2.      Hypnotist suggest that the subject concentrate on something, such as the sound of the hypnotist’s voice an object or an image.
3.      Hypnotist suggest what the subject will experience during hypnosis for example becoming relaxed, feeling sleepy.

Remember that during the hypnotic, subjects are not asleep, keep their ability to control their behaviors. The biggest debatable questions  about hypnotic are  what actually happens when a person is hypnotized and whether hypnotic induction is even needed.

Everyone who has been puberty has fallen in love. At least he or she has a feeling when looking at opposite sex else.  It is normal because it is the main emotional characteristic when someone being adolescence. Being adolescent, it means that many problems will come to him or her. Woman  are physically faster than man to become adolescent, but it does not mean that woman are faster in falling in love to opposite sex than man. In this age, they want to make relationship more intimate.  The point you must understand is it is calf love or true love? Let’s find your love categories here, bellow are the theories of love which has been considered by some psychologists.
            Earlier researcher had thought love too mysterious for scientific study, but now they have begun to study about love by characterized it into various component. The starting point, researcher distinguish between passionate and companionate love. Passionate love involves continuously thinking about the loved one and is accompanied by warm sexual feelings and powerful emotional reactions. Companionate love involves having trusting and tender feelings for someone whose life closely bound up with one’s own.
            One of the famous theory of love is triangular theory of love by Robert Sternberg (1999). Look at the picture bellow. This theory said that love has tree component. Passion, Intimacy, and Commitment. Passion is Feeling physically aroused and attracted to someone.  Intimacy is Feeling close and connected to someone, it develops through sharing and communicating. Commitment is making a pledge to nourish the feelings of love and to actively maintain the relationship.
            After reading this theory you must understand which your love is?. You must know it, that love not only in the first sight when you met her or him and look at her beautiful face. Love need thus tree components. In order word, you must love someone and like her or him physically, and you have to keep your trust to you lovely people. Don’t just think about your desire to your lovely people, you must keep and promise that you will keep your feelings. Human are not same as animal which can love its opposite sex in every meeting and sight, but human must keep his desire.
            Certainly, we must believe that love is a gift from god. Love does not mean only loving by desire, but love also love your lovely people’s weakness. Try to think about the worst something that she or he has than realize it and accept it then you fall in love and make intimacy and commitment.
