Hypnosis is all about feeling relaxed and comfortable. In the examples given about car driving and reading a book, your conscious mind has been thinking about something else, and your subconscious mind has been driving your car or reading the book. And to do that you need to be fairly relaxed at the time, or even bored.
It is this state of relaxation which is used in Hypnotherapy.

Hypnosis is totally natural, and many of us will experience hypnosis at some stage of our day - we’ll call it daydreaming. Here are a couple of typical examples:

·
|
Driving your car, getting somewhere and thinking -
|
|
·
|
Reading to the end of a page in a book and thinking ‘I know I’ve been through the motions of reading, but I can’t recall the content’.

The only difference between hypnosis and the natural state of daydreaming (such as the examples of driving and reading a book given above) is that hypnosis is focused on or directed towards meeting some sort of goal.
What’s the feeling of hypnosis?
There is no real ‘feeling’ of hypnosis and your experience and feeling of hypnosis will be unique to you. The state is induced simply by the calming and relaxing voice of your therapist and your own imagination. You feel relaxed, but certainly not in a ‘trance’ or asleep. Most people find that the experience induces a feeling of relaxation, comfort and wellbeing.
The special qualities of hypnosis
There are many different definitions of hypnosis, which generally refer to the relaxation of the conscious mind, the narrowing and heightening of attention, and the control of areas normally out of reach of your conscious mind. If you have any doubts about these things, sit down and consciously try to slow your heart rate down or reduce the temperature in your hand by a few degrees. In hypnosis, physical changes like these are are easily induced and controlled. Hypnosis is a key to enabling both physical and emotional changes to take place.
