How Does Hypnosis Work ?

By Ravi Oza

Hypnosis is a trance like state where subject becomes complete unaware of current environment. So how does actually hypnosis work? Every time a subject is hypnotized, he or she become more suggestible to a hypnotist. How this happens? Why a person in hypnotic state is always willing to do what ever being said.

Milton Erickson, the hypnosis expert of 20th century, who discovered the conversational hypnosis, stated that a people hypnotize themselves on their daily basis without realizing. Either they are watching movie or just day dreaming, they become so much associated that, they become unaware of the real surroundings. Hypnosis can be defined as a mental state between your sleep and wakeful state.

To understand the process of how does hypnosis work, you need to understand the basic working of your conscious and subconscious mind. When subject goes to hypnotic state, her or his subconscious mind is accessed directly by hypnotist.

If you are in conscious state, you know what you are thinking. You might think about the problems in your life, you might think what to speak and what not to speak while in conversation. You might think where to put things like where to remove your shoes. All these kind of thoughts are handled by conscious mind.

Subconscious mind stores vast information. Conscious mind get the orders from subconscious mind and then execute it. All these information are used to produce new ideas. Any new idea comes from out of box thinking, is actually comes from subconscious mind. Many of the tasks that you do regularly are automatically handled by subconscious mind. Many things you are not thinking about while breathing or driving. You just automatically do it. In short your subconscious mind hold the real power behind all operations.

In a hypnotic state, subject's subconscious mind becomes active and conscious mind becomes less active. So hypnotist is directly works with subconscious mind. Since subconscious mind has all information stored, hypnotist can go to in the past of subject. Hypnotist also can change that information. That's why hypnosis therapy is used to break many bad habits.

So in hypnosis process, subject becomes relax and goes in to subconscious state. In subconscious state, conscious mind becomes less active and hypnotist takes a control of subconscious mind. This is how hypnosis works.
