Hypnosis is a completely natural state that we enter several times a day as part of our body’s natural rhythm of activity-relaxation. You pass through this natural trance state every night before you go to sleep and every morning before you are fully awake. In is a highly suggestible state where the conscious mind and the subconscious mind dissociate, or separate. Here are a few other natural hypnotic situations:

when you’re watching TV or watching a movie
when you’re working at the computer or playing a video game
when you’re involved in reading a good book or article
when you’re daydreaming or lost in thought
when you’re driving to work and you wondered how you got there because your mind was on a thousand other things
anytime you find yourself in the “zone” where you were totally focused on the task at hand and nothing else.
