Hypnosis is a very common procedure used for entertainment. While being hypnotized it is though the brain temporarily suspends its attempts to authenticate incoming sensory information. These procedures are done by a hypnosis. One of the most common procedures is the one where you swing a pocket watch back and forth before the face of a person. Another one that can be used is by placing a spot on the wall and staring fixdedly on it and listening to the soothing voice of hypnotist will do the trick for most people. The study of hypnotic phenomena is now squarely in the domain of normal cognitive science. Michael R. Nash is associate professor of psychology at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and is editor in chief of the International Journey of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis. He also wrote this article which more information can be found in the magazine 'Scientific American'. Hypnosis has been soon to be real phenomenon with a variety of therapeutic uses especially for controlling pain.

A relaxed, focused state of concentration. That is the definition. But the actual state of hypnosis is a little harder to define. Until recently it was assumed that it was similar to sleep, or that the mind was somehow unconscious. In reality, there is a specific state that the brain enters into when it is receptive to suggestion. This has been discovered on scans during hypnosis. It is not an unusual state of mind, and may feel like you are not in a trance, or in hypnosis. For most people they simply feel relaxed. There is a change in the brain wave activity, similar to that time just before sleep when the alpha state is entered. Your brain's waking state is a beta brain wave, just as you are going to sleep it changes to alpha and then to delta and theta in deep sleep. The alpha state is a very dreamy, pleasant state. During this time the mind is very open to visualizations and creating a rich sensory experience. The more real the experience becomes in the subconscious mind during this state, the more effect it will have on your waking behavior.
Hypnosis is a normal state of mind, one which most people go in and out of every day. When you are watching a movie that you are engrossed in, driving down a long monotonous road, listening to music that captures a mood or engrosses you, you are in hypnosis. We experience hypnosis every day and don't even know it. When you are in a guided hypnotic trance session, or driving down the road in trance, you have an observer self, which is an actual part of you that is always aware and watching out for you. This observer self has been documented as a credible aspect of our mind, that keeps us safe, even when asleep. During hypnosis you can trust that your observer self will watch over you. This is not a guide or spiritual being, is a scientific discovery of a function of our brain. During a hypnosis session you would instantly get up and leave the room if it caught on fire, even if had previously felt like your arms and leg were too heavy to move.
In fact, since hypnosis can help make us sharper and more aware mentally, it actually may help keep us safer, by making us more aware of our surroundings during the day. If your perception of what is happening around you is better, you will notice things that are happening with greater clarity and perhaps make better decisions.
