PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Hypnosis can be seen as ‘a waking state of awareness, (or consciousness), in which a person’s attention is detached from his or her immediate environment and is absorbed by inner experiences such as feelings, cognition and imagery’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hypnosis is a trance-like mental state in which people experience increased attention, concentration, and suggestibility. While hypnosis is often described as a sleep-like state, it is better expressed as a state of focused attention, heightened suggestibility, and vivid fantasies.

Detailed explanation-3: -Trance is a state of semi-consciousness in which a person is not self-aware and is either altogether unresponsive to external stimuli (but nevertheless capable of pursuing and realizing an aim) or is selectively responsive in following the directions of the person (if any) who has induced the trance.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is a trance state characterized by extreme suggestibility, relaxation and heightened imagination. It’s not really like sleep, because the subject is alert the whole time. It is most often compared to daydreaming, or the feeling of “losing yourself” in a book or movie.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hypnosis is a natural state of focus and relaxation. It can be likened to guided meditation or even daydreaming. Everyone enters this “hypnosis” at least twice a day, when we’re waking up in the morning and falling asleep at night – that point in between awake and asleep, it’s the same as hypnosis.
