What is hypnosis?

The actual experience of being hypnotised is very difficult to describe, you are neither asleep nor awake. All hypnotic states are characterised be a tremendously pleasant state of relaxation, an altered state of consciousness into which individuals allow themselves to enter so that desired beneficial suggestions may be given directly to the subconscious mind.

Hypnosis is a natural, effective way of making contact with the inner self, which is a source of tremendous potential, strength and knowledge.

Hypnosis is a state of relaxation, one in which the physical body is deeply relaxed and yet the mind is very much awake. Hypnosis is not a state of sleep or unconsciousness. Hypnosis is a state of relaxation that the average person reaches at least a couple of times a day, once just before falling asleep, and again just before waking. (Your brain wave pattern goes from Beta to Theta which is a highly suggestible state).

A lot of people compare it to sunbathing or that state of sleep when you are just waking up but so relaxed that you do not move; in fact this is known as the hypnotic state. Very mild hypnosis actually occurs to most people several times a day. Daydreaming and remembering past events can both lead to hypnotic states.
