Hypnosis – what does it feel like? It is difficult to describe hypnosis and what it will feel like before you experience it for yourself. Even then the experience will be totally subjective and as individual as you are. What is worth bearing in mind though is that hypnosis is a totally normal state of mind and for many of us the hypnotic state is a common occurrence. When we are hypnotised both parts of our mind — the conscious and the subconscious are working together in harmony on the same idea at the same time. This unity of purpose may feel completely natural to some people and completely strange and unusual to others depending upon their psychological make-up. Light trance feels like being relaxed, but in a deeper trance impressions are fresher, imagination is quicker to respond and senses and images more real. Here is a description of some of the more common sensations reported by our Clients. Some people feel light as a feather and other people feel heavy as though they are sinking down into their own relaxation. Sometimes it is hard to discern where your hands and feet are as they just seem to melt into trance. Some people feel numb and other people tingle. Your conscious mind may wander. You may remember things you had long forgotten. Irrelevant thoughts might float into your mind and float out again. Your eyes may water and your eyelids may flutter. Body parts may twitch as they let go of tension and stress. Most people feel relaxed and very comfortable – too comfortable to move and too restful to do anything but just allow the hypnotists voice to guide them towards their goal. Most people find that time seems to move by very slowly and that they have all the time they need to think, relax, change and re-charge their energy levels. But whatever you feel one thing is for sure you will awaken from your experience feeling confident, relaxed and in control over your thoughts, your feelings and your life.
