Your mind may be guided by a movie, self-hypnosis tape, or hypnotist, but you still have power to resist. If you fully believe and acknowledge that you have power to resist any control of emotions, then hypnosis is nothing to fear. Unfortunately, some people seem to give up partial control of their minds because they misunderstand who has power. Unquestionably, someone can be fooled into believing that he has given up control in some forms of stage hypnosis or other experiments. That is likely what often happens in stage shows. But just because someone was tricked doesn’t mean it is right or that it will happen to you that way.

Think about it. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. You are one who allows your mind to be placed into deep states. You are one who has power to resist any unwanted suggestions. It’s really a misnomer when people say they were hypnotized. What they really mean is that they allowed their mind to be hypnotized or they allowed a hypnotist to give suggestions that they chose to follow.

Just remember that no one controls your mind unless you first grant permission!

How can it be prevented?

According to a recent study by Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in United States, only eight out of 97 car seats tested went any way to preventing whiplash. It is thought that height of head rest is a crucial aspect of preventing injury. The cars that came out top in tests were.

oThe GM brand Saab, 9-2X and 9-3 oThe Volvo S40, S60 and S80 oThe Jaguar S Type.

Drivers should be reminded however that car manufacturers do not have sole responsibility for prevention of whiplash. Until such a time comes when all vehicles are built with car seats like those in Saab 9-2X, drivers should take a few steps to protect themselves. A head rest at correct height for passenger or driver can reduce risk of whiplash by around 40-50%. The Insurance Bureau of Canada recommends that centre of headrest be slightly above top of driver's ear. The top of headrest should be at least as high as top of driver's head. Ideally, distance between headrest and back of driver's head should be 5-10 cm (2-4 inches).

Whiplash and compensation

If you have been involved in an accident and have sustained a whiplash injury you can normally claim compensation. Liability for accident is not usually an issue when a driver has rear-ended you. Once whiplash has been proven by medical reports damages can be claimed for loss of earnings, car damage and any special medical care that you require.
