Understanding Hypnosis

The intention of this explanation is to show hypnosis as it truly is. The hypnotherapist does not posses any type of power or gift, but has learned how to give suggestions that the subconscious mind will accept, and then act on those suggestions in a positive way.
There are many people who have heard of the wonderful results accomplished through hypnosis and feel that it could also be helpful to them. Many people are afraid of hypnosis because of misinformation acquired over the years from horror movies, novels, or television. The average person has a misconception of what hypnosis is and what can be accomplished through hypnosis.
If a suggestion that is not appealing is given to a person while in the hypnotic state, one of two things would happen: the person in the hypnotic state would either ignore the suggestion or would bring himself out of the hypnotic state.

What is hypnosis?

To explain what hypnosis is, it might be better to state what hypnosis is not.
When a person is hypnotized, they are not asleep or in some eerie trance state. The hypnotized individual is aware of everything that is taking place. Even after being brought out of hypnosis, a person would be able to recall anything that took place during the session.
Hypnosis is a very normal, natural state that most of us experience everyday. An example of daily hypnosis would be driving a car and realizing that you can’t remember the last three or four streets you just passed. Perhaps you drove right by your exit! Another example would be a person watching television. When someone enters and announces that dinner is ready, the person watching the television did not even blink an eye!
These are examples of a light hypnotic state. In both cases the conscious part of the mind had been distracted, allowing the subconscious part of the mind to take over.
