Many people often ask me many questions about hypnosis: What is hypnosis? Is it dangerous for me to be under hypnotic state? Would I be manipulated by someone who put me in hypnosis? Would I have to disclose all my secrets while I am under hypnotic state?

In fact, everyone is under some degree of hypnosis at one time or another everyday - when one is working on a project, reading a book, watching TV or even daydreaming. It is a natural event that happens when one concentrates on something at the exclusion of everything else. Thus hypnotic phenomena are not magic. It is a natural normal state of mind. Hypnosis is one state of consciousness - the particular state of consciousness in which perception is distorted by means of concentration and vivid imagination.

When you are in hypnosis, you have a heightened state of suggestibility. In this state, suggestions are acted upon much more powerfully than is possible under normal conditions. You become relaxing the power of conscious critical factor. Your focus of attention is sharp. Your concentration and level of awareness is much higher than that when you are awake. During this heightened focus and awareness, suggestions go directly to the sub-conscious mind. The subconscious mind is much stronger than the conscious mind. And so under hypnosis, you can instruct and direct your sub-conscious mind to make changes in behavioral, psychological and emotional parts of yourself.

Hence, if the suggestions related to your eating habit go straightly to the subconscious level when you are in hypnosis, the change would take place more effectively and permanently. In fact, the key to weight loss is not what we put in our mouth. It is what goes on in our mind. What goes into our mind affects our thinking, our thinking affects our behaviors. When we choose behavior, we choose consequence - whether we are slim or obese, for example. With hypnosis, we would then have greater control of our body and the ability to solidify cognitive restructuring. The mind takes charge of the body in a most natural and routine way.

Under hypnosis, you gain control rather than lose it. It is your choice to enter the state and you can always choose to leave it. You are conscious of the outside world and you can react to it if choose to do so. Thus the hypnotic state is a safe territory.

Looking back, hypnosis is nothing new. In fact, hypnosis had already been used in the ancient time for religious and healing purposes.

In the 1700s, an Austrian doctor, Frantz Anton Mesmer combined the theories of astronomy with Newton's laws of gravity to advance an idea of animal gravitation known as animal magnetism. He postulated that there was a force to restore the harmonious balance of body functions and for the relief of human suffering. Indeed, the fact that his patients were recovered from illness was because they were 'mesmerized' into belief that they would be cured. This 'mesmerism' became the forerunner of hypnotic suggestions.

In the mid 1800s, hypnosis was used to relieve pain.

During the late 1800s, an English physician, James Braid developed his own theories of a condition of increased susceptibility and suggestibility. He postulated that the mesmeric state was a form of sleep. It was "hypos" (from the Greek God of sleep) - a form of sleep. Thus the term hypnosis was coined.

In the 1930s, Milton H. Erickson brought hypnosis into psychotherapy and made it an acceptable mode of therapy. Milton Erickson developed a unique style of hypnosis that relied on co-operation and language skills. The therapist serves as a guide and the solutions remain lie within the patient. Thus we can be guided by our own to be in hypnotic state. The result is still the same
