In the early stages of hypnosis some people wonder what reaction to expect and since they may have preconceived and false ideas of what they believe it should be, they look for some drastic effects to prove that they indeed were in a state of hypnosis. People expect to go into a state of unconsciousness this does not happen. The body is relaxed and the mind is aware and awake. At that time the suggestions are easily acceptable. One may have difficulty describing the sensations experienced during hypnosis to prove that one has been hypnotized.
Sensations vary from one session to the next and from one person to another.
It would be a mistake for everyone to expect tingling in the body, a floating feeling or a sinking into a deep hypnotic state - each experience is unique. A person can accept hypnotic suggestions without any of these sensations. The only proof of hypnosis is the results. The visible results can be quick or, more often, be a gradual progress. If a person gives hypnosis adequate time, desired results can be accomplished.
