What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a natural state of deep, mental and physical relaxation and comfort, in which there is heightened awareness within the subconscious mind. It is an altered state of consciousness, or “trance” state.

In this state, as you become more and more relaxed, you become less aware of the surroundings, and more acutely aware of your inner realities; feelings, emotions, thoughts, resources and potentials.
It is simply a state of inner-focus.
