Hypnosis is natural

Hypnosis is a unique altered state of consciousness where an individual experiences deep relaxation and heightened focus. During this state, the person remains highly responsive to suggestions from a trained hypnotist. It often begins with a calming induction, like deep breathing or visualization, to help the individual enter a trance-like state. While in hypnosis, people report feeling detached from their surroundings and may have heightened suggestibility, allowing them to more readily accept suggestions for behavior change or symptom relief. It's important to note that hypnosis is not mind control; individuals under hypnosis cannot be made to do something against their will, and they can usually remember the experience afterward.
