To most people, when they hear the word “Hypnosis”, the first picture that comes to mind is that of a dangling watch swinging back and forth while the subject falls into a deep, deep, sleep. Unfortunately, this is where all the misconceptions around hypnosis begin. Hypnosis is not sleep.

 

Hypnosis is a state of mind where a person is completely relaxed and fully awake at the same time. Hypnosis is like that state you experience when you wake up in the morning and you are completely relaxed, you are completely aware, but you are not fully awake. Hypnosis is more comparable to meditation than it is to sleep.

Working with a trained professional, hypnosis can help a person relax and ignore distractions. This allows them to focus on their thoughts, enhancing their consciousness to a more focused level. Achieving a natural state of hypnosis is easy and can lead to amazing results.
