What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis (often referred to as a trance state) is a natural occurring state of mind – as natural as day dreaming,  When we are daydreaming we can become so focused, so absorbed in whatever thoughts or images are in our mind that we can lose all track of time.  We can often enter a natural state of trance when we are driving, reading a book, watching a movie, listening to music, undertaking a hobby or other activity,. These examples are all an ‘altered state of consciousness’ and we can experience various levels of trance.  Trance is therefore a normal, natural state and a common experience in everyday life.
