 | | All hypnosis does is capture your natural going to sleep scenario, while keeping you awake, so you can give your subconscious mind beneficial suggestions. |
 | | Since the conscious mind, or beta, does not do a very efficient job of absorbing suggestions, the job of hypnosis is to bore the conscious mind so much that it quiets down, stops thinking, and allows the brain to slow down into the alpha range, or the subconscious mind. |
 | | Some people are so receptive to hypnosis that they can be hypnotized in just a few minutes, occasionally in seconds, while others take fifteen to thirty minutes. |
