Few parts of modern medicine are surrounded by mysticism than hypnosis, but it isn't any mysticism or magic about it. Hypnosis (from Greek "Hypnos" sleep) is a method to put a person in hypnotic state that's is known as a shift in the ordinary state of conciseness. Hypnosis is a tool to create the mind susceptible to suggestions, that make the mind overcome the barriers that hold you back in real life. Hypnosis also make the individual relax. In the prosess tension and the troubles of the day will disappear.

Hypnosis is created through words. Words influence us to a certain point were they can make us angry or sleepy, or they can stimulate the ego sensitivity in us. We can feel "heavy" or lightness, much heat or cold. Sleepiness and relaxation will often happen.

When a person enters hypnosis, certain physical changes will happen. You will notice the breathing become heavier, mild, and rhythmic. Lips and neck will become dry, and you get a needy sensation to swallow.

Arms and legs, the hole body becomes heavier, your head begins to bend down, your eyelashes and eyes will blink more often, while you become drowsy while nearing sleep.

You will concentrate on the voice of the person hypnotising you, and while you enter hypnosis you will not only notice the voice but also the sounds around you, that will seem louder. Many thoughts will pass through your mind and with questions that you elsewhere would not think of when not hypnotised. You will physically feel relaxed, lightness or emptiness, but the most important thing is that even though these thoughts pop into your mind you will not object to the suggestions that come from the hypnotist, because you really don't want to open your eyes or move off the chair at the same time.

Per definition hypnosis is provoked in the body as a overload of senses that clouds our objection processes, and unleash our fight or flight mechanism, that in the end result in hypersuseptibility that gets us access to the inner conciseness.

Hypnotherapy is used to cure addiction to smoking, weight reduction, improvement of confidence and to develop certain skills.

Hypnosis can also be abused to make people do things they usually wouldn't do, often used in parties and magic shows. And hypnosis is also "used" in some porn films were the man hypnotizes the girl to his bidding.
