ntv7《活力早晨》民生关注问题之如何预防电话催眠

新闻事件内容:
(吉隆坡2015年3月25日讯)
最新电话骗案手法,老千隔空施催眠术,让你不经意透露银行户头资料?!
 手机通讯应用程序最近流传一则来历不明的讯息,内容警告手机用户,指一旦接获背景有奇怪音乐的电话,便应该马上盖电话,否则将成为“电话催眠术”的受害者。
 讯息内容提及,对方一般会尝试拖延时间,而接听者在听到奇怪的背景声音后便陷入迷糊状态,疑似已被催眠。
 接著,便会不经意透露银行户头资料,让不法之徒有机可趁。
 讯息指案件是于上周五(20日)早上,在吉隆坡苏丹阿兹兰沙路(前是怡保路)发生,并指受害者是一名华裔女生,幸她被催眠时,身旁友人感觉有异大声呼喝把她惊醒,并马上中止所有银行户头交易及信用卡,以致没有损失。
 讯息指,至今为止警方已接获10宗类似投报。她说,不料对方却大声呼喝她,惊吓之下,她挂断电话。
 “我朋友清醒后即刻前往临近银行马上取消所有转账、个人银行户头及信用卡,银行服务员获悉受害者遭遇后,也告知她这是银行接获的第3宗类似案件。”
 冼都警区主任慕鲁沙米助理总监受询时指并未接获相关投报。

最近许多人成为电话催眠的受害者。感谢媒体对社会时事的关注,让我可以以临床催眠师的身份在ntv7《活力早晨》节目上教导民众如何对抗罪犯。实际上,临床催眠是非常科学有效的身心治疗方法,属于心理与医学结合的辅助医学技术。在临床上对自律神经失调如失眠和肠胃问题,改变坏习惯如催眠瘦身或戒烟,疼痛管理如生产或手术过程,情绪问题如抑郁或焦虑等都有非常显著的治疗效果。
以下是我今早ntv7电视台教导的预防罪犯催眠的方法简述:

  • 受害者被电话催眠后,将陷入恍惚状态Alpha-Theta脑电波状态,逻辑思考能力受限;很容易做出不理智的决定。当你发现对方说的话毫无疑点但同时却觉得困惑不已,或许你几经成为了受害者。(可以透过脑电波反馈疗法EEG biofeedback训练你的逻辑思考,专注力甚至让你变得不容易被影响和催眠)。
  • 当你发现自己变得特别的乖和听话,那或许就是一个被控制的迹象了。
  • 当你发现自己的情绪反应强烈时,你或许已经进入了失控状态。
  • 勇敢的说“不”,跳出恍惚状态,让自己恢复理智。
  • 有的人无法轻易跳出恍惚状态,可以考虑学习自我催眠或者脑电波反馈疗法来帮助自己加强抵御力或增强逻辑思考能力。
  • 催眠是无法控制别人的行为的,因为如果你不愿意合作,没有人可以催眠你的。催眠的功效实际上就是合作与配合度来决定的。只要你不合作,没有人可以催眠你的。






事实上,当你收看这节目或阅读此文章时,你的大脑潜意识就如已经植入了我(临床催眠师的角色就如软件工程师般)给你的初级版防毒程式anti-virus。那么电话催眠罪犯(他们就如hacker般的角色)的病毒virus就比较难对你的潜意识产生影响了(记得勇于说NO! 跳出催眠状态)。如果你想要找寻临床催眠做疗法,建议找有向MSCH或AHPM注册的催眠师。再次特别感谢电视台的化妆师,主持人和工作人员的专业服务与制作。






If scammer is trying to hypnotize you without knowledge, what can you do exactly to not get hypnotized?


Hypnosis is natural, we are all in and out of trance every day. The hypnotic state is a very natural state of physical relaxation and heightened mental awareness whereby an action is felt to "just happen" automatically without conscious effort. For example, when you are driving, you often slip into a trance state where the conscious and unconscious minds appear to concentrate on different things (conscious mind focus and think about the task later on & your unconscious mind is focusing on driving the car). 

Your unconscious mind (hypnotic trance state) just like the part of you which looks out for you. Your action is felt to "just happen" automatically without conscious effort when unconscious mind(hypnotic trance state) is in charge. 
Most of the time it does a good job but sometimes it makes mistakes. For example: Bad habit, eating pattern, phobia, headache, migraine, irritable bowel syndrome, insomnia, light sleeper, anxiety and more. Your hypnotic trance can give rise to problems or solutions, depending on the value of the context.
Thus, clinical hypnotherapist is just like a "software engineer" to help you reprogramming, re-education or re-training your unconscious mind. Then gives your subconscious mind the "anti-virus"software that it needs, to stop it from makes mistakes again. Hypnotherapy are at their best when they are collaborative. So if you don't want to be hypnotized, then you can't be hypnotized. In Malaysia, make sure the hypnotherapist belongs to one of the major governing bodies such as - The Association of Hypnotherapy Practitioners, Malaysia (AHPM) which is regulated under the FCNMAM. Yes, AHPM members must adhere to AHPM's ethical, professional and evidence-based practice guidelines.


Scammers are like a hacker. They understand how our unconscious mind (hypnotic trance state) works. They identify possible exploits and hack into your unconscious mind (hypnotic trance state) and put"virus" into your system either through security 'holes' and then you might make mistakes. They can find exploits by using specific technique. Some victims are easier to go into hypnotic trance state than others. Thus, those people "system" are easily hacked. Stop collaborative when you receive their call so you can't be hypnotized. 



However, there are many ways to improve your system, so you won't be hacked easily:
EEG biofeedback/neurotherapy:
Hypnotherapy works with people who are highly suggestible. Highly suggestible people tend to have certain brainwave profiles. They usually have Alphas and Thetas which can be increased easily. These brainwaves are associated with relaxation and dreaminess. That’s why hypnotherapist always ask you to relax, focus and calm down. In some people, these brain waves can increase easily, making them more vulnerable to go into hypnotic trance state. An experienced hypnotherapist (just like software engineer) or scammers(Hacker) can detect it. The good news is that EEG biofeedback therapy can train you to control your brainwaves at will. With this training, you can protect yourself from people who try to exploit your unconscious mind (hypnotic trance state).

Hypnotherapy:
Clinical hypnotherapist is just like a "software engineer" to help you reprogramming, re-education or re-training your unconscious mind. Then gives your subconscious mind the "anti-virus" software that it needs, to stop it from makes mistakes again. Yes, if you set your mind against being hypnotized, you can't be hypnotized. However, if you don't realize you're being hypnotized, and so don't know to be resistant, you can sometimes be hypnotized lightly. Thus, experienced clinical hypnotherapist able to identify or guide you to prevent being hypnotized by giving your subconscious mind the "anti-virus"software (hypnotic suggestion). Scientists have found evidence that hypnotic suggestion can modify processing of a targeted stimulus before it reaches consciousness (Suomen Akatemia, 2013). This result indicates that all hypnotic responding can no longer be regarded merely as goal directed mental imagery. It shows that in hypnosis, hypnotic suggestion is possible to create a engrams. Engrams are means by which memory traces are stored as biophysical or biochemical changes in the brain (and other neural tissue) in response to external stimuli.

[Light Sleeper Treatment Malaysia] What makes someone a light sleeper?


What makes someone a light sleeper? 

For some people, the slightest noise awakens them at night. For others, the wailing siren of a passing fire truck doesn’t disturb their slumber. Just why, though, remains a bit of a mystery. Although many people are self-proclaimed light sleepers or heavy sleepers, researchers have found that little is actually known about why people react differently to noises and other stimuli during sleep. Genetics, lifestyle choices, and undiagnosed sleep disorders may all play a role. In addition, some studies suggest that differences in brainwave activity during sleep may also make someone a light or heavy sleeper.

Light and Deep Sleep During sleep, you alternate between cycles of REM (rapid eye movement) and NREM (non-rapid eye movement) that repeat about every 90 minutes. You spend about 75 percent of the night in NREM sleep, which consists of four stages of increasing relaxation. 

Stage one, or the phase between being awake and asleep, is considered light sleep. 
Deeper sleep begins in stage two, as your breathing and heart rate become regular and your body temperature drops. 
Stages three and four are the deepest and most restorative stages of sleep, in which breathing slows, muscles relax, and tissue growth and repair occurs. 

Someone who gets eight hours of sleep a night may not experience as much slow-wave, deep sleep as the person who get six hours of sleep.

What Contributes to Light Sleep?
A small study, published in 2010 in Current Biology, suggests that differences in how sleeping people respond to noise may be related to levels of brain activity called sleep spindles. The researchers found that people whose brains produced the most of these high-frequency sleep spindles were more likely to sleep through loud noises. But more research is needed to confirm the results. Dr. Neubauer said that if someone is complaining of not feeling rested because of being a light sleeper, they should look at the factors that might be contributing to the inability to achieve a deep sleep.


Now, for the first time, sleep researchers at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, led by neurologist Dr. Jeffrey Ellenbogen, have isolated the brain-wave pattern that predicts where an individual's brain has struck a balance between those demands — a window into how likely noises are to wake people from deep sleep.
For the three-night study, Ellenbogen's group invited 12 volunteers who reported being deep and healthy sleepers into a sleep lab with a comfy queen-size bed outfitted with enormous speakers at the headboard. The researchers recorded the participants' brain waves as they slept normally the first night, and then on subsequent nights as they were bombarded with 14 different noises — from the din of car traffic and the roar of airplane engines to flushing toilets and slamming doors — which were played at progressively louder volumes.
Ellenbogen paid particular attention to the patterns generated by the thalamus, a region deep in the brain that processes incoming visual and auditory stimuli. He found that the number of pulses, known as sleep spindles, generated by this organ and measured by an electroencephalogram (EEG), which records electrical activity in the brain, varied among the sleepers. Those with the highest number of spindles were able to sleep through more sounds without waking than those whose brains showed fewer spindles. "We wanted to know, if we counted the spindles the first night, did that predict anything about their subsequent sleep?" says Ellenbogen. "And indeed it did. More spindles meant they were more likely to be protected from sleep disruption."

Insomnia Treatment: 'Hypnosis helped me get to sleep'

Suzie, a chronic insomniac, turned to hypnosis after acupuncture, yoga, herbal teas and a regimented bedtime ritual failed to get her to sleep.

Through internet research, Suzie learnt how hypnotism could tackle the deep-seated issues disrupting her sleep.
She went on a self-hypnosis training programme, which consisted of five one-to-one sessions at University College London's Hypnosis Unit.
However, tests carried out at the unit suggested that Suzie may have a low level of hypnotic-suggestibility, meaning that she could not easily be hypnotised.
Her consultant, Dr Valerie Walters, decided to work on self-hypnosis techniques in an attempt to lower Suzie's adrenalin level, improve her ability to relax, reduce her anxious thoughts and prepare her body for sleep.

Anxiety as a barrier to sleep

"It was clear that anxiety was a problem," says Dr Walters. "High levels of adrenalin make it difficult to sleep."
Dr Walters says the self-hypnosis techniques, which all involve mental imagery, are adapted to the individual's own strengths.
In Suzie's case, visual imagery and sense of touch were important in creating a comfort zone, and triggering "good feelings".
"The theory is that if she can relax in that place, she can learn to have that same feeling in other situations," says Dr Walters.
For Suzie, the self-hypnosis techniques were particularly helpful, such as the scenario where she imagines that she's blowing bubbles in a relaxing setting of her choosing.
"The exercises have improved my concentration," she says. "At work, I'll do the bubble-blowing exercises between tasks.
"They make me more focused on what I'm doing. I'd even do them on the train. I can feel an immediate relaxation."

Sleep relaxation techniques

Another relaxation aid was the "favourite place" exercise, which was also based on Suzie's personal experiences.
"I'm lying in a hammock in my parents' garden," she says. "I'm reading a book or sleeping. It's sunny and really peaceful.
"To reach my favourite place, I walk down some steps and feel the warm stones under my bare feet. I get in the hammock and feel the book. A cat wanders over with its tail in the air. Then a dog comes to rest near me."
Dr Walters says it's important to suggest details, such as touch, and "actually feel" the comfort of the hammock.
She also worked on changing Suzie's attitude to sleep. "Suzie saw her anxiety as a permanent thing," she says. "That contributed to her problem."
Suzie thought that she could only fall asleep in complete silence, but she lived in a shared household, so this belief raised her anxiety.
In one relaxation technique, you imagine that you're breathing through your feet. You feel the breath move slowly up the body, down the arms and out of the hands.
"Hypnosis provided me with answers," Suzie says. "But it's not an overnight solution. I've learnt techniques, and it's up to me to keep working on them."

Neuro-hypnotherapy is first of its kind in Malaysia developed by myself by combining technology and art of science which is best of two worlds. It is a safe, non-invasive, drug-free and painless procedure whereby one is able to determine the brainwave state while conducting the neuro-hypnotherapy. To analyse the brainwaves, I use the neurotherapy technology, whereby one can observe the brainwave going into different state such as delta, theta, alpha and beta brainwave while the suggestion is being given by the hypnotherapist during the therapy session, personalized self-hypnosis method will be developed based on the brainwave observation.
