Hypnosis

Hypnosis is always a field that many people interested in. When people think about hypnosis an image which a hypnotist waving a pendulum in front of a person may come to their minds. Actually, there's more than one methods to hypnotize people. These methods including the fixed gaze induction(often be seen in the movie) , rapid induction, and progressive induction. Although there are many ways to hypnotize people, all methods approach the same purpose---making subjects to be highly focus. When conducting the hypnosis, hypnotists give instructions to their subjects such as fixing their eyes in one point, or composing images in their minds based on the hypnotists' words. After following instructions for a period of time, subjects will become more focused and get into their subconscious gradually.

Some people may ask----what is subconscious? Normally, people have conscious and subconscious, both help people to make decisions. Decisions that made by our conscious are processed by our conscious and take more time to make. When making decisions with conscious, we may consider different things such as the current situation and other information we receive. In contrast, decisions made by subconscious are normally unaware and be made automatically. For example, when people are driving, they can't aware every detail of how they drive. In the driving, people are focus on their tasks, entering a trance of hypnosis and do something unconsciously.
 

It is commonly believed that people who are hypnotized fall asleep. However, it is not true. Like I said, people who are hypnotized get into their subconscious and become highly focus. When people enter this state, they can recall their memories easily and accept suggestions easily. Although people do embrace a idea easier when they are hypnotized, they still don't do things that violet their wills. The reason why people accept suggestions much easier is that their conscious that filter decisions with given situation and information are shut down. Therefore, people respond quickly in the hypnosis state. Nevertheless, when they are asked to do something that violet their will, their subconscious will reject or ignore the commands. If people follow the instruction of hypnotists, it means that, in their subconscious, they want to follow the suggestion. Furthermore, people remember what happened when they are hypnotized in most of conditions unless hypnotists give suggestions to subjects, making them forget what  happened. In most cases, subjects' memory about hypnosis can be erased because they accept instructions easier in the trance of hypnosis. However, some people's subconscious may not accept this command and still remember the things happened during the hypnosis.
