How to do a hypnosis at home

Hypnosis is a technique through which a person is induced to a dream state. It is a transient state that can be caused by oneself or another person. According to the American Psychological Association, APA (1996), hypnosis is a procedure during which changes in sensations, thoughts, feelings and behavior are suggested. It could be said that hypnosis would achieve those changes that are difficult to perform in a waking state. Not all people have the same degree of ease to enter a hypnotic state, so in some cases it may take more time to achieve it. Here we will explain the steps to follow to perform a hypnosis at home.
