Though a subject under hypnosis seems to take on the peculiarity of somebody sleeping, they are essentially very aware. Hypnosis is pretty difficult to explain, as nobody in reality knows what is taking place inside the brain of a hypnotized subject. What we do know is that whilst in hypnosis the hypnotic subject becomes astonishingly suggestible. A subject`s attention, while they are going into trance state, is narrowed down slowly. Firstly, the sense of sight is lost as the subject is asked to close their eyes. After some time it is not uncommon for the hypnotic subject to lose absolute awareness of their body. Though one by one the senses are bit by bit slipping away, one sense is to a great extent enhanced by the process of induction. This is the sense of hearing. A subject put under hypnosis can often hear obscure sounds that they would not be able to hear in the common waking state. This, evidently, means that through the whole process the subject can hear all that the hypnotist may say. When you initiate inducing hypnosis in people you will frequently find that upon awakening the subject, they will consider they could not have been hypnotized as they could still hear your voice. The misapprehension that they will not be able to hear your voice repeatedly comes from those people who suppose hypnosis to be similar to sleep.

A person in the trance state is very susceptible to suggestion. One of the reasons for this is that, whilst in the hypnotic state, you are just able to concentrate on just one thing at a time. For example, if I were to tell you that you are a dainty ballerina, you would straightaway compare this suggestion with what you already know to be right, and, unless of course you are a ballerina, you would tell me I am talking nonsense. The hypnotised subject then again is not able to entertain the thought that they might not be what I have suggested, as their limited concentration is taken up by the thought that they are truly a pretty ballerina. The consequence, as desired, ends in the hypnotic subject leaping to their feet to carry out a series of pirouettes across the stage.

The human mind is divided into two exceedingly distinct areas. The conscious mind, which is responsible for all our conscious thoughts and decisions, and the subconscious mind, which regulates our autonomous activity. The mind can be brst labelled as a computer, the subconscious as the processor and the conscious as the monitor and keyboard. Our subconscious mind is a type of protector; it protects our body and helps us to go on.

Even though our subconscious can do manytasks that consciously would be unmanageable, it also has one so principal feature. Somewhere between our two minds is what we call the critical factor. This is undoubtedly best explained as a door, at which is a keeper. Our subconscious mind will process anything that enters it no matter how peculiar. So, as long as you can push a suggestion through the door it will be adhered to. This is exactly why hypnosis works. The guardian's door can be hastily opened while we are under hypnosis.
