Hypnosis is a state of human consciousness, involving focused attention and an enhanced capacity to respond to suggestions and enhanced / reduced peripheral awareness. When this concept is applied as a therapy to address wellness issues, then it is termed as hypnotherapy. Mechanisms such as guided relaxation, intense concentration, and focused attention are used to achieve a heightened state of awareness that is also called a state of trance. In a state of complete relaxation, a person feels calmer and more relaxed and is more open to positive suggestions and affirmations. Once the person becomes more relaxed and calmer, the therapist communicates with the sub conscious part of the brain and gives positive suggestions relevant to address specific issues like stress, anxiety addiction and so on.
