What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation and focused attention on a subject matter. During the hypnotic state, your brain waves go from a Beta level (alert) to an Alpha level (slower waves). Your mind becomes more receptive while in the Alpha state; and it is able to replace old ideas efficiently and effectively. The results of a study conducted in Harvard University in 2001, document and indicate that the brain activity of people under hypnosis actually changes.
