What Is Hypnosis?

 

• A natural state of mind we go in and out of during waking hours

​

• An extraordinary quality of mental, physical, and emotional relaxation, with few, if any, thoughts.

 

• A focused state of mind such as:

  • Daydreaming: when your mind drifts off, losing track of time or surroundings

  • Highway Hypnosis: driving on a familiar route and realizing you don't remember part of the journey because your mind was elsewhere.

  •  ​​​As in "being in the flow", little thought yet in a highly focused, creative, and productive state of mind,

​

• In hypnosis, one can hear and respond to others, much like when engrossed in a movie or TV program where someone might need to call a few times to get their attention.
