Hypnosis Explained

• Hypnosis is a learned skill. Some are better at it initially, but anyone can improve with a little practice. During hypnosis you are not asleep or unconscious and in fact, are in a state of heightened awareness. You are aware of your surroundings in a detached sort of way and you are more receptive to acceptable suggestions. The more often you experience the trance state, the deeper it is likely to become.

• When we enter a state of hypnosis by directing our attention towards increasing comfort, the parasympathetic nervous system is activated, giving rise to what is known as the relaxation response. This response works in opposition to the ‘fight or flight response’ and counteracts the body’s physical and emotional response to stress, allowing it to return to a calm balanced state. While in this state there is a measurable decrease in heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, stress hormone levels and muscle tension and people experience a wonderful feeling of relaxation.

• Hypnosis can be experienced to varying depths and is experienced differently from person to person. While in a state of hypnosis we can be aware of what is going on around us, although we are likely to become so absorbed in our own inner experience that we choose to pay little attention to unnecessary distractions.

• The hypnotic state is often characterised by a distorted experience of time. We experience perceived time as substantially longer or shorter than actual time. Most commonly we experience a long time spent in trance as having passed by very quickly. Similarly when we are enjoying an experience, time just seems to fly by.

• Other common phenomena and experiences of hypnosis include analgesia (partial loss of sensation), anaesthesia (total loss of sensation), catalepsy (automatic contraction and apparent paralysis of muscles) and dissociation (feeling separated from one’s immediate ordinary sensory experience and environment).
