Hypnosis is a procedure during which a health professional or researcher suggests that a client, patient, or experimental participant experience changes in sensations, perceptions, thoughts, or behaviour. |

|
We consider hypnosis as an altered state of consciousness and/or a type of focused attention. |
|
Hypnosis also generally stimulates a feeling of relaxation, and this has helped its development into a therapy (hypnotherapy). |
| |
| Hypnosis coincides with the study of the mind and its potentialities; the aim is to widen the perceptions to allow a wider use of the real capacities of the brain. | |
