We're talking today about hypnosis. So, I explained earlier that we all go into hypnosis, in and out of hypnosis, spontaneously each and every day. That it's a very normal thing to do. So you might be wondering "Well, when do I go into hypnosis? I'm not aware of it." Okay, have you ever found yourself driving down the freeway and you realize that you missed your exit because your mind was just off somewhere else. You have? That was hypnosis. That is one time during the day when your body is somewhere and your mind is somewhere else. That is hypnosis. Okay, another example: Have you ever been in a movie theater watching a film that you're getting really involved in and you're just loving it and you're emotions are getting carried away and then you come out of the movie theater, into the foyer, and your just " Oh my god where was I for the last 2 hours?" You were in hypnosis, that's where you were. It's, again, it's when your body is in one place but your mind is somewhere else. And a 3rd type of hypnosis that we go into every single night, it's not when we're asleep, it's between waking and sleeping. Those 30 or so minutes while you're just dropping off to sleep but your not actually asleep, that is called the hypnoidal state. Your brain waves are slowing down. They're going into an actual different pattern and that is the hypnotic state that is the same as the hypnotic state that we are inducing during the hypnotherapy session.
