Hypnosis has long been associated with the strange and the mysterious,
with sideshows and faith healers. But the truth is that hypnosis
is not the least bit mysterious or supernatural. In fact you have
been in a hypnotic state literally thousands of times. You did not
notice it because it seemed such a natural state of mind. And the
hypnotic state is natural
for all humans.
Probably, at one time or another, you have found yourself driving
along a familiar freeway past your exit, or perhaps you suddenly
became aware of yourself behind the wheel and wondered where you
were going. Occurrences such as these are common. Activities like
driving, mowing your lawn, taking a shower, are stored in your subconscious.
While you are functioning in this automatic mode, it is quite easy
to drift from an alert state into a different level of consciousness.
Daydreaming is the first of the levels in a trance state.
The idea therefor is to learn how to
create in yourself a deeper level of trance in order to achieve
some of your goals like relaxation, to reduce stress, improve learning
abilities or unlash your creativity, as well as many others.
