Hypnosis is a mental state (state theory) or imaginative role-enactment (non-state theory) usually induced by a procedure known as a hypnotic induction, which is commonly composed of a long series of preliminary instructions and suggestions. Hypnotic suggestions may be delivered by a hypnotist in the presence of the subject, or may be self-administered ("self-suggestion" or "autosuggestion"). The use of hypnotism for therapeutic purposes is referred to as "hypnotherapy".

The words 'hypnosis' and 'hypnotism' both derive from the term "neuro-hypnotism" (nervous sleep) coined by the Scottish surgeon James Braid around 1841. Braid based his practice on that developed by Franz Mesmer and his followers ("Mesmerism" or "animal magnetism"), but differed in his theory as to how the procedure worked.

Contrary to a popular misconception - that hypnosis is a form of unconsciousness resembling sleep - contemporary research suggests that it is actually a wakeful state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, with diminished peripheral awareness. In the first book on the subject, Neurypnology (1843), Braid described "hypnotism" as a state of physical relaxation accompanied and induced by mental concentration ("abstraction").

Q. My supervisor says I need to improve my conversation skills so that I can increase my sales which is below average. I have been asking around and friends have suggested I take a course on conversation hypnosis.

A. Yes, conversation hypnosis is very good for improving a person s ability to sell better. My nephew was in a similar position as you and I recommended him an online course based on the teachings of the famous American psychiatrist, Dr. Erickson. Not only his sales improved but his personality really flourished. Within a short time, instead of being a quiet boring guy, he became a very respected trainer having his own company.
