What is hypnosis?
The word hypnosis comes from Greek and means sleep, however it is not the same as sleep, although for a person observing you it may look like you are sleeping. Hypnosis is a relaxed, focused state of consciousness where you are more open to suggestions. Your conscious mind is constantly judging and evaluating all of your thoughts. Hypnothrapy allows you to get past your conscious mind and into your subconscious mind. Since your subconscious mind can't separate between real and imagined thoughts, this allows you to reprogram your subconscious mind by feeding your subconscious with a new reality.
Can I be hypnotized?
Yes, trance is a natural state of mind that most of us go into during the day. If you have experienced to be so focused on a task that you completely forgot the world around you, you entered your subconscious mind. A typical example is when you are driving your car from A to B and you suddenly arrive automatically at your destination without consciously remembering driving there.
