What Happens When You’re in Hypnosis?

When you’re in hypnosis, your life can be transformed. Have you wondered what it’s like to have a hypnosis session? Though everyone is different, there are some things that usually happen when you’re in hypnosis. First of all you get very relaxed, and yet most people feel focused and awake. While you’re in this deeply relaxed state, your deep inner mind is brought to the forefront, and your conscious mind is quiet. So when you’re relaxed, you have greater access to material that is more deeply embedded inside of you. When you’re in this relaxed state, you’re also often highly suggestible and responsive. Your attention is focused, and it’s almost as if your body is sleeping while your deeper mind is fully aware and awake. You may feel light or heavy in your body, or you may feel various sensations, such as tingling, floating, relaxation or deep peace.

 

How Deeply Do You Relax?

In hypnosis, some people relax very deeply and some relax very lightly. Most people are right in the middle. You have full awareness and full control, and you can get what you need no matter how deeply you relax. Some people are under the impression that they need to go into a “stupor” to have results, but that’s not the truth. There are all different levels of relaxation or “trance.”

 

What Do You Do in Hypnosis?

There are different types of work you can do while in hypnosis. One is that you and your hypnosis practitioner can interact. You can talk about whatever might be going on inside of you. Another way that hypnosis works is through suggestion. Because your subconscious mind is highly suggestible, you can receive suggestions about whatever you want or need to experience.

 

What if You’re Not a Visual Person?

The suggestions appeal to your deep subconscious mind. And you can also do some visualization. Not everyone is visual. Some people are kinesthetic and basically like to move around a lot. Other people are auditory and can hear things easily. If you can see bright images in your mind, then you’re visual.

 

How Do You Get into Hypnosis?

To get relaxed, there are many methods. Some practitioners use healing touch, and many use relaxing voice tones and words. When you go inside, if you’re taking a look at what’s in your deep inner mind, you may find old thoughts, pictures, feelings or patterns, and you can transform them with the help of a practitioner. When you’ve completed that process, then the positive suggestions can begin. Remember, however that there are as many ways of doing hypnosis as there are hypnotists, and you will experience something different from each one.

 

What’s it Like to Do Self-Hypnosis?

You can also do self-hypnosis. One way is to say relaxing words to yourself, such as counting numbers backwards to bring yourself into a state of relaxation, and when you relax, you can find anything that needs to be transformed, and you can transform it. And you can imagine anything you’d like to imagine. You can also give your deep subconscious mind any suggestions you’d like. You have miraculous power in all aspects of your inner mind, and you have the power to truly transform your life here and now. Some people have immediate transformation, and some people need to keep on doing their self-hypnosis regularly. Whether your transformation comes right away or after some practice, you can have great results as longer as you have a sincere intention to do so. Remember always to use positive words, especially when you make suggestions to yourself. You can transform habits, emotions, old thoughts and patterns, and you can truly shift the course of your life for the better.

 

What’s the Hypnotic State All About? 

The trance state seems like an exotic experience, but it’s as natural to you as sleep .You view sleeping as a perfectly normal activity. You don’t find it strange that you put on special clothing, lie flat on a horizontal surface, turn off the lights, close your eyes, and switch into another state where you can often see pictures dancing inside your closed eyelids. Conversely, the trance may seem unusual, but it’s really as natural as sleep itself. Both sleep and trance quiet the waking mind and take you deeply inside yourself..

 

What Does Hypnosis Feel Like?

When you come to think of it, you’ve experienced hypnotic trance often and in many daily activities, like when you’re running down the track or watching a film or making love or wildly dancing or day dreaming – or even driving your car – and you’re not aware that you’re “doing” the activity. You become absorbed in it so fully that normal thought processes seem to cease for the moment, and for that time, you’re elevated, uplifted, and freed. This hypnotic trance is a natural state of consciousness

 

What Happens when You’re in Trance?

While in this deeply relaxed state, your deep inner mind is brought to the forefront, where your everyday or conscious mind is usually found. So when you’re relaxed, you have greater access to material that is more deeply embedded inside of you. This state has often been looked upon as esoteric, strange, mysterious, “altered;” yet it’s a simple and natural state in which the deeper layers of mind are freed from their normal limitations. It is, in fact, a state of mind you normally spend a lot of time experiencing,

 

What Can You Do in Hypnosis?

When you’re in this relaxed state of trance, you’re often highly suggestible and responsive. Your attention is focused, and it’s almost as if your body is sleeping while your deeper mind is fully aware and awake. You may feel light or heavy in your body, or you may not experience having a body at all. You may feel various sensations, such as tingling, floating, relaxation or deep peace. You’re able to bypass your normal waking consciousness and cross the bridge into the often buried parts of yourself. The trance state is also the hypnotic state, and it has many uses. You can connect with the subconscious mind and the higher orsuperconscious mind. You can get in touch with creativity, spirituality, your past and future and especially become more aware of the present moment. You can look at your motivations and emotions, and with your innate abilities.
