Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a relaxed state-of-being induced by the power of suggestion from another person—or from oneself. In normal, everyday mental states, the mind is primarily informed by interaction with the external physical world. If we quiet the mind from the external reality, we are influenced by deeper communicative connections—which increase awareness and potentially facilitate activity beyond a person’s normal activity—but within a person’s ethical range of activity. In a hypnotic state, a person may be influenced by the hypnotist’s suggestion—or by the self’s suggestion for meta-programming.
