Being hypnotised feels similar to the experience of falling into a vivid daydream and is akin to a deep trance-like state. It is also a natural form of consciousness that we can experience normally without generally being aware of it. For instance, you might experience a light hypnotic state while watching a particularly absorbing film or reading a favourite book. Upon waking from hypnosis, clients commonly feel refreshed and considerably more relaxed than when they entered the clinic, as if they had just awoken from a full night's rest.
