It is the process of projecting thoughts into other people`s minds. Hypnotists are also known for their work as mezmerizers.
Hypnosis can be classified into various categories, based on the type of inductions the hypnotherapists uses in her work. Jon Finch, for instance , sometimes , uses hypnosis in order to know thoughts, only for entertainment purposes. A hypnotist`s skills involve suggestion, ideomotor action, and catalepsy, and visualization.
Hypnosis is a state in human consciousness that involves focused attention as well as a decrease in peripheral awareness, and an enhanced capacity to react to suggestion. The term may be used to describe the art, technique, or the process of creating hypnosis.
Theories that explain what happens in hypnosis can be divided into two types. `Altered state` theories see that hypnosis is an altered state of mindor trancethat is characterized by a state of consciousness that is different from the normal conscious state. Contrary to this, nonstate theories consider hypnosis to be an act of imagination or performance.
The most familiar hypnosis is to peek at memories via suggestion. However, different forms of hypnosis are sometimes included.
In hypnosis, an individual is believed to have increased focus and concentration. The focus is narrowed to the subject that is in front of themThe person who is hypnotized seems to appear to be in trance or sleep, with the ability to react to suggestion. The person may suffer from partial amnesia that allows the person to "forget" certain things, or to disconnect with past or present memories. The theory is that they show an increased response to suggestions, which would explain why the person could enact activities outside of their normal routine behavior.
Certain experts believe that the susceptibility to hypnotics is linked to personality traits. Highly hypnotizable people with psychotic, narcissistic, or Machiavellian personality characteristics may feel the hypnotic experience to be more like manipulating someone else rather than being controlled. People who have an altruistic character type may possibly remember and absorb suggestions more easilyand act upon their suggestions with confidence, without fearing for their safety.
Theories of hypnosis describe it variously as a state of high arousal and attentional focusing, shifts in the brain`s activityor levels of consciousness or dissociation.
In popular culture , the term "hypnosis" often brings to the mind stereotypes of stage hypnosisinvolving the dramatic transformation of the state of being awake into an euphoric state. It is usually marked with the subject`s arm dropping hypnotically to their side, with the idea that they are drunk or sleepyand then a demand that they do something. The stage hypnosis process is typically done by an entertainer taking the role of an professional hypnotist. The person`s consent is demonstrated through putting them into an euphoria state in which they will accept and comply with the suggestions made to them.
"Hypnosis" is a term that refers to "hypnosis" can be used to refer to non-state phenomena. It is also believed that the results observed in hypnotic inductions are simply instances of classical conditioning and responses learned through prior experiences in the state of hypnosis. However, it is generally accepted in the field that even in artificially-induced states with high suggestibility (known as `trance logic`)it is possible to experience a high degree in linguistic, cognitive,, and cognitive functioning that behaves normallyeven though it could be extremely focused. This paradoxical phenomenon has been suggested to be due to two cooperating processes working against each other: one becomes more focused,and the other one becoming less focused. The hypnotized subject has a diminished focus, but simultaneouslyan increased ability to focus on the issues that are relevant to the suggestion made by the hypnotist.
There are many theories on what actually happens inside the brain when someone is hypnotized. However, there does seem to be some agreement that it is the result of a focus concentration and a state of altered consciousness.

The majority of people who experience hypnosis are more likely to experience their attention restricted to the part of the brain in which the voice of the hypnotist coming from. This causes a heightening of processing of attention that shuts out all other sensory information. Hypnotized individuals are able to concentrate intensely on the suggested behaviour, but they are in a position to perform activities outside of their usual behavior patterns. The intense concentration leads to an altered state of mind in the brain.
