What is hypnosis anyway and is it safe?
There are many misconceptions surrounding what hypnosis really is. The actual definition of hypnosis is a process by which one bypasses the critical mind allowing access to the subconscious. So, what the heck does that mean? It means that we are in a state of hypnosis naturally many times every day. It is not scary and is completely safe. During the hypnotic state, one is fully aware of what is going on around them, but they are in a deep state of relaxation. Think about how you feel at night right before you fall asleep, that moment when you are still aware of what is happening around you, but are completely and totally relaxed. That is the hypnotic state.
