Researchers have studied patients in a hypnotic state and have discovered that there are no significant physical changes in the bodies of their subjects. The patients bodies only seem to be relaxed and slowed down all throughout the hypnotic process. Using an electroencephalograph (EEG) to measure their brain waves, doctors found a change in the rhythms of electrical voltage. Their findings suggest that the brain waves of the patients under the trance state are similar to those in a deep sleep state, which are of course different from the normal waking state. It has been concluded from these studies that the subconscious mind takes over the normal conscious one during hypnotherapy sessions.

It has been well documented that according to neurologists the left hemisphere controls one’s logic, deduction and reasoning while the right hemisphere takes charge of a person’s imagination and creativity.

Common misconceptions in regard to hypnosis would have a person believing that they could be hypnotized, and they would then simply follow the commands given, but it just is not that simple. It is a bit more complicated and yet so simple at the same time, if you know what I mean!

Hypnosis is not what you see on television. The television hypnotist would lead you to believe that a person who is put into a hypnotic state is asleep, when in fact they are put into a highly aware trance-like state of mind, and that is how it works with weight loss, among other things.
