What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a focused state of mind where you become highly receptive to suggestions. Contrary to common myths, it's not about being asleep or unconscious. Instead, when you're hypnotized, you're fully aware of your surroundings but in a deeply relaxed state that allows your mind to be more open to positive changes.
During a hypnosis session, a trained hypnotist uses techniques like deep breathing, verbal repetition, and mental imagery to guide you into this relaxed state. This helps reduce distractions, allowing your mind to concentrate on the positive suggestions being made, ultimately helping you achieve your goals.
