How is your brain responding while in hypnosis?

Hypnosis works in the brain by creating a state of deep relaxation and focused attention which allows for an increase in suggestibility and an openness to new experiences. Let’s take a deeper look into how hypnosis impacts your brain and how sensory stimulation is enhanced. When you visualize a calming environment and mentally engage your senses during hypnosis your brain is stimulated as if you were actually there. This immersive experience can help create a state of deep relaxation. Hypnosis reduces anxiety and pain by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. This part of the nervous system helps your body rest digest and recover. Hypnosis is linked to greater brain Theta Wave Activity. Theta waves are associated with deep relaxation and meditation, creative thinking, and reduced consciousness of the physical world. Do you need help with changing harmful habit and fears? Hypnosis can help the subconscious learn new ways of doing things either through hypnotic suggestions or by helping the mind remember why it started a problem in the first place thereby re-learning a better way of responding. Very interesting to note is that during hypnosis the brain shifts to a state where the individual brain regions act more independently of each other this could contribute to the unique experiences and benefits associated with hypnosis.

Important to remember that while hypnosis can be a very powerful tool it should be used under the guidance of a trained professional and is not a substitute for professional medical advice diagnosis or treatment.
