One of the definitions I like best describes hypnosis as an active receptivity. This means that during hypnosis you are more receptive to ideas, or in other words, to suggestions, that are presented to you. Hypnosis is an altered state of awareness. While in this altered state, you will typically feel extremely relaxed. It is thought that not only the conscious mind, but the unconscious mind also is focused and open to therapeutic suggestions during hypnosis.
