What is hypnosis?
There are several definitions about HYPNOSIS. Here you can find some of them:
1- A trance like state in which a person becomes more aware and focused and is more open to suggestion.
2- A therapeutic technique in which the patient is placed in a trance. This places the patient in an extremely suggestive state in which pseudo-memories can be created.
3- An alternative state of consciousness in which the attention of an individual is focused away from the present reality and towards particular images, thoughts, perceptions, feelings, motivations, sensations, behaviours or any combination of these.
4- An altered state of consciousness induced by another person, in which one can access creativity, retrace certain inhibitions, reprogrammed patterns and work with pain relief.
5- Is a psycho-physiological state induced-like sleep. It is an altered state of consciousness, characterized by a heightened sense of suggestibility and weakens critical judgment in which the subject is responsive to suggestions of the inducer, the hypnotist.
6- A deep state of relaxation where an individual is more susceptible to suggestions.
7- A peculiar state of consciousness artificially induced a kind of sleep state that seems to liberate the subconscious powers of the subject. The subject executes suggestions made by the hypnotist as long as they do not conflict with deeper instincts. These suggestions may even be delayed to take affect after the subject comes out of the hypnotic state. The hypnotic state also can be self-induced in order to attain greater self-confidence, self-control, or management of pain.
