Brain Activity Hypnosis

-------------------------------

When most people think of hypnosis, they picture someone standing on stage, a dangling pocket watch in hand, but there is a #Science behind it. #Meditation and #hypnosis both trigger a relaxation response that is quantifiable and roundly considered healthful.

Hypnosis is basically a meditation with intent. A person is relaxes into an artificially induced altered state of consciousness. The state resembles sleep but the #mind becomes highly focused and responsive to suggestion. A #Hypnotherapist can use suggestions to explore repressed memories, instill a desire for #healthy habits and even reprogram themselves to be open to ideas. During hypnosis the brain's cognitive systems are still able to interpret the communication. The cognitive systems allow people to process information, categorize information, and create associations.

Researchers compared the physical "body signs" of #hypnotic subjects with unhypnotized people and found no significant physical change associated with the state of hypnosis. Hypnotized people's #heart #rates and #respiration slow down as it does in any relaxed state, not the hypnotic state itself.
