Hypnosis is experienced as deep physical and mental relaxation and as attention focused on a single point. In hypnosis, most people are fully aware of events around them and remember what has occurred. People have various responses to the experience of the hypnotic state. Chances are that it will feel fairly familiar to you (but very good). It's like being entranced by a television program or being engrossed in a task or a good book. But, in this deeply relaxed and focused meditative state, your unconscious mind-which controls habits and patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior-is quite surprisingly open to beneficial suggestions to implant more willpower and to access your own natural inner strengths. Here are a couple of definitions of hypnosis:

"Hypnosis is an altered state within which suggestions have a peculiarly potent effect."--Bowers
"Hypnosis is a state of relatively heightened susceptibility to suggestions."--Hull
"Hypnosis opens you to the uncritical acceptance of new information."

In hypnosis you'll feel deeply relaxed, and very, very good. Here are comments that hypnosis clients have made about what the state of hypnosis feels like:
"It was more relaxed than I've ever been!"
"It felt like universal love."
"The state of hypnosis is almost spiritual."
