text: A very useful definition of hypnosis, one that many working hypnotists have adopted is that "Hypnosis is a suspension or bypass of the critical factor (the part of us that evaluates and judges what is going on at any point in time) with an associated narrowing of awareness and a selective focusing".If this definition is applied to the example of being hypnotized by someone (it also applies relative to self-hypnosis) then the definition simply means that when the hypnotist makes a suggestion, the subject (person being hypnotized) follows it.
