Hypnotism For Beginners is a guide for amateur hypnotists looking for tips and techniques in hypnotism. Summary Of The Book Hypnotism can be explained as an induced psychological state where an individual is in a superficial dream like state, and is functioning at a level of awareness that is quite different from the ordinary conscious state. Although the field of hypnotism has advanced tremendously, the phenomenon is still a mystery. It is also described as a trance like state where the subject is under heightened imagination, extreme suggestibility and relaxation. Through hypnosis, hypnotists target your subconscious mind. This part of your mind is often working behind the scenes coordinating with the conscious side. More often than not, you seem to do things almost automatically without looking or thinking, for example, changing the gears while driving your car, or typing on a keyboard without looking too hard. These actions happen in the subconscious mind. It is only when you sleep that your conscious mind takes a break and your subconscious mind takes over. The field of hypnosis is extremely vast.
