What
is hypnosis? Hypnosis is a state
of relaxation and concentration at one with a state
of heightened awareness. It is a non-addictive and is
a natural state of mind that happens throughout daily
life. Over the last few days you will have been in a
hypnosis state of mind many times. The word hypnosis
is derived from the Greek word 'hypnos' meaning 'to
sleep', but contrary to popular belief it is not sleep.
By the time the early users of hypnosis realised this
and tried to change the name, it had already stuck.
