What exactly is hypnosis?

Although mental and physical relaxation are strongly recommended in order to enhance the trance, anyone who has difficulty in achieving total relaxation is still able to benefit from hypnosis In hypnosis, the senses become alert or even acute and the subconscious mind becomes relaxed and open to accept helpful and beneficial suggestions. Daydreaming, fantasizing and driving on ‘auto-pilot’ are all light states of hypnosis. Everyone experiences light states of hypnosis every day. The person in hypnosis has complete control at all times. The hypnotist is a trained professional facilitator, who skillfully who shows the client how to work with, and communicate with their subconscious mind.
