How I Fees To Be Hypnotized
What it feels like to be in a trance
Once you’ve decided to try hypnosis, you might be wondering what it would feel like to be in a hypnotic trance. Physical reactions and sensations to hypnosis vary from person to person. You might feel very heavy as if you were extremely sleepy, tired or drunk, or you might feel ‘airy’, light, floating, similar to the states induced by the intact of certain recreational drugs. Most hypnotic subjects express feeling physically relaxed while remaining mentally alert. Breathing slows, as does the heart rate. Your eyes can be open or closed; sometimes subjects blink periodically while others stare stone-eyed at a fixed object or spot. Some subjects lose a notion of their bodies while others feel either tingling sensations or cold chills running through their bodies. While still others feel nothing at all and are convinced that they were never successfully induced, only to realize later that the suggestions were obeyed to their satisfaction. I know you’re eager to get right down to some hypnotic technique, so I’ll give you just a taste right here and now.
