The Power of Self-Hypnosis.

Hypnosis is defined as a deep trance, which is akin to sleep. In the hypnotic state the subconscious mind accepts suggestions made to you. One person under hypnosis was suggested that he will read a certain passage from the bible on a particular day after six months. He did do so on that particular day. The person hypnotized was not conscious that the suggestion was made to him.

Hypnosis is used in getting rid of habits like smoking and alcoholism. It is also useful in getting rid of phobias. Under hypnosis a person can be made to reveal things that he does not remember in his conscious mind. If a person has a phobia, he might reveal under hypnosis the reason for that phobia. May be that was due to an incident in his childhood. It helps the doctor to treat him, as the reason for that phobia is revealed. Not every one can be hypnotized. The subject has to be willing to get hypnotized.
