What Does It Feel Like?

 

 

  I ask all my clients what it felt like to be hypnotized.  They all pretty much say the following:   "At first I was wondering if I was hypnotized, is this what being hypnotized feels like?  Then I noticed I had an itch on my leg.  I thought, Is it okay to itch that or not?  I could hear every word you were saying although through the session I kind of didn't listen to you here and there."

  That's pretty much what everyone says.  Some don't believe they were hypnotized even though at the beginning of every session I test for somnambulism (level of depth).  I believe this sometimes happens because they have a preconceived idea of what hypnosis should feel like.

  Hypnosis is mental focus while your body is relaxed.  It is not what most people believe it to be, it's a relaxed pleasant feeling.  Did you know that your mind is actually 2000% sharper while hypnotized?  You can remember things your conscious mind never could.  All five senses are heightened.  It's pretty much the opposite of what we think it is.  Thanks to movies and stage shows, we think we're being controlled.  Nothing could be further from the truth.
