Derren Brown – Use of hypnosis -Automatic Writing
On TV yesterday Derren Brown claimed that he had managed to predict the winning lottery numbers by getting a group of participants into a relaxed state and using automatic writing to get them to write their prediction of the lottery numbers. He then collated the numbers they suggested.
Automatic writing may be defined as a script which the writer produces involuntarily and in some instances without being aware of the process even though he/she may be in an alert waking state.
I teach the technique on my training courses- see www.hypnoticsolutions.org.uk for hypnotherapy training – but automatic writing isn’t used to predict the future – it is instead used to assist in the recall of past events or situations.
