Did you know that firefighters in France learn hypnosis to help calm patients?

This is because people in an emergency situation are already in an altered state of consciousness – so they’re more open to the powers of suggestion.

But could it be that mistletoe has the same effect, causing even the most reserved of lips to pucker up upon its subtle, yet suggestive presence?

That unbeknown to us, it stirs a loved-fueled emotional cue, which then leads to an involuntary action: a kiss.

If so, this video (which has been viewed over 29 million times) reveals mistletoe’s ability to hypnotize unsuspecting participants… enticing them to talk the language of love by way of locking lips.

… Or perhaps we’re just ol’ romantics, especially around this time of year!

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas from the Hypnosis Training Academy!
