Hypnosis is a natural state of mind, so it feels much more natural and normal than it does foreign or alien. It is like being in a meditative state where you have a greater sense of access to your deep, subconscious mind. People generally report feeling very calm, relaxed, grounded, and aware, both of themselves and their environment. Clients are fully awake and alert during each session, and remember everything that was discussed during hypnosis. Some people also report being in "day dream" like state, where their imagination is vivid and rich, and time seems to move slower or faster. Because hypnotherapy provides greater access to the subconscious mind, clients are never "under" or unconscious, in fact they are more conscious and aware.
