"What is a
session like??"
It feels
like in the morning when you hit the snooze button on your alarm, and you are
aware of yourself lying in your bed with eyes closed, not quite asleep, but not
quite awake either. The subconscious is the seat of intuition and creativity;
that is why some writers or painters do their best work in the early morning.
Their subconscious is closer to the surface then, especially after dreaming in
REM sleep. (REM often occurs in hypnosis.) Even with eyes wide open some people
go into "highway hypnosis" and drive right past their exit.
Generally, you
can feel hypnotic relaxation in your body in some way; either your limbs will
feel heavy, like lead or light and tingly, almost numb. (You don't need to get
hooked up to some silly "biofeedback machine" to learn this about yourself!)
Sometimes a good indicator of deep hypnotic relaxation is experiencing slight
twitches in your body as your nervous system "reboots" and you shift to
abdominal (parasympathetic) breathing. Recognizing these sensations is the best
biofeedback you could ever have!
