Also, the entire time that you are hypnotized you are aware of everything that is happening around you. During hypnosis you can choose to wake up anytime you please. Being hypnotized is a very pleasant and relaxing experience. The act of being hypnotized serves as a great stress reducer even when no suggestions are given.
Most people feel quite good when awakened.
