Hypnosis is a state where you go in and out every day. Have you ever been in the car and missed your turn because you were deep in thought? We call this highway hypnosis. Hypnosis can be felt differently at different times. Most people experience it as a deep relaxation. But feeling relaxation is not a condition for being in hypnosis. People can be deep in hypnosis without being aware of it.
