A: Hypnosis is simply a state of focused relaxation. We all enter into this state many times throughout the day, driving is a good example. Your mind will often wander whilst driving but you’re still conscious enough to respond to things around you. This is the same for light hypnosis. Most people are responsive to hypnotherapy. Different people experience different levels of relaxation, so even if you feel totally awake during the process you will still be receiving messages in the subconscious.

You enter some form of hypnosis several times a day, like when you are driving and pass your turn-off because you haven’t been paying attention. Everyone goes through natural, altered states before they fall asleep and as they come into wakefulness. Most people can enter hypnotic relaxation easily, provided they want to.
