Sarah Rose Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I've often wondered why it's important to be sleepy or half conscious for hypnosis to work. I can understand the notion of tapping into the sleeping mind so that it activates without inhibitions. However, if I'm very drowsy as I do my meditation or am in a hypnosis session, then am I not just as likely to fall asleep? Is it better to be alert? And, if so then does the subconscious mind still become engaged as a result of hypnosis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypnosis is a state of suggestability where we bypass the contious and go directly to the subcontious. I know it seems as sleep, but the fact is that you are completly alert and just more suggestable. this is how we access the subcontious mind.
