Your conscious everyday mind is relaxed, and more open to new ideas, suggestions and discovery. In addition, you often get to enjoy the added benefits of complete relaxation, improved sleep and greater inner calm. Pleasant, deeply relaxing and rejuvenating. Your muscles let go while your mind focuses inward. Nonetheless, individual experiences vary greatly.
Some clients go very deep even in the first session, while others only experience a light trance.
However, for hypnosis to be effective, it doesn t matter how deep you go. The human brain produces beta, alpha, theta and delta waves. In the normal waking state, the shorter beta waves dominate. During hypnosis, brainwaves shift towards a greater percentage of the slower alpha and maybe even theta waves. Alpha waves characteristically produce a pleasant, relaxed, meditative state.
