If you’ve ever wondered “Will I lose control during hypnosis?” or pictured yourself clucking like a chicken, you’re not alone. Let’s clear up the myths and get real about what hypnosis actually feels like, especially if you’re a skeptic or just plain curious.
Imagine this: You’re sitting comfortably, eyes closed or open (totally up to you), and a gentle wave of calm washes over you. You’re not asleep, you’re not out of it, and you’re definitely not under anyone’s spell. Instead, you’re actually more focused and aware than ever before. Your mind feels clear, your body is relaxed, and you notice a pleasant sense of ease. That’s the magic of hypnosis, no hocus pocus, just deep relaxation and gentle focus.
Here’s what really happens in a hypnosis session:
1. You’re always aware and in control.
You can talk, laugh, even scratch an itch. You’ll never say or do anything you don’t want to. In fact, most people say they feel more connected to their own thoughts and decisions. This is your mind, your experience, your pace.
2. It feels like deep relaxation mixed with laser-sharp focus.
Think about the calm you feel right just before falling asleep, paired with the clarity you get doing your favorite hobby. You’re relaxed, but you can still hear every word, notice every sound, and respond whenever you want. There’s no sleepy fog, just a peaceful alertness.
3. You remember everything afterward.
Forget about the old movie scenes where someone wakes up confused. After hypnosis, you’ll remember the whole experience. Most people say it feels like a guided meditation or a cozy daydream, only more purposeful and powerful.
If you’re skeptical, that’s a good thing. Curiosity is the first step to understanding. Every skeptic I’ve met has walked out of the session surprised by how natural it feels. No tricks, no mind games, just a gentle way to tune into your own mind and unlock new possibilities.
