What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis has long been associated with the strange and mysterious, but the truth is that it is a natural state of mind during which the imagination rather than the intellect is active. 

   Each of us has experienced a hypnotic state literally thousands of times but may not have noticed it because it seemed so natural.  
Daydreaming, reading, watching television, listening to music and physically repetitive actions can produce it quite spontaneously.   Whenever we become absorbed in what we are doing, we slip into hypnosis.   We call these spontaneous states of mind “informal hypnosis”, as opposed to “formal hypnosis” which is induced purposely by a hypnotist.
