Hypnotic Trance phenomena
Trance phenomena (have existed as long as man has) is a natural event that happens many times every day. Trance results when you concentrate on something at the exclusion of everything else. Such as when you are engrossed in a movie or a book. Trance can also develop during dance when your body is very active.
The traditional view of hypnosis is that it is a sleep-like state where you are subject under control of a hypnotist. The name “Hypno” after the Greek God of Sleep "Hypnos", implies that notion. Milton Erickson, the father of modern Clinical Hypnotherapy, described the phenomena simply as unique, inner-directed altered state of functioning. In fact all hypnosis is actually self-hypnosis. In trance you gain more control rather than lose it. You allow the phenomena to happen. Another common misconception widely held about hypnosis is that you loose conscious awareness and control. The fact is that most people do know what’s going on. Sometimes it is forgotten in the same way dreams are forgotten.
The growing realization that all hypnotic trances are self-hypnosis is evidenced by the fact that many hypnotherapists are teaching their clients self-hypnosis in the very first session. All the changework is the done by yourself. The Hypnotic trance only makes it better and deeper, and with more lasting effects.
