What does the hypnotic state feel like?
Clients report feeling many different sensations when hypnotized. Some people have told me they felt like they were floating, others have described a warm, tingling sensation in their hands, eyes, fingertips, legs, etc. Everyone seems to notice how relaxed and peaceful they feel when they are hypnotised. You will be aware of what is happening. Have you ever experienced that feeling right before you fall asleep, when you are lying in bed and can hear the sounds of your house settling, or perhaps the sound of cars driving by or other background noises from outside? That is very similar to entering the hypnotic state.
