What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a state of focused attention and reduced peripheral awareness, in which the subject is able to concentrate on a particular thought, memory, or experience. Hypnosis can be used to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve sleep. It can also be used to treat a variety of psychological and physical conditions, such as anxiety, depression, pain, and irritable bowel syndrome.

The History of Hypnosis

The origins of hypnosis can be traced back to ancient times. The first recorded use of hypnosis was in ancient Egypt, where it was used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including pain, insomnia, and mental illness. Hypnosis was also used in ancient Greece and Rome, where it was known as "temple sleep." In the 18th and 19th centuries, hypnosis was used by mesmerists to induce a state of trance in which subjects were able to perform extraordinary feats of strength and endurance. In the 20th century, hypnosis was adopted by the medical community and is now used as a therapeutic tool to treat a variety of conditions.
