To hopefully clarify a term that has come to describe an ever more complex and cumbersome tool of the psychotherapist....
Hypnosis is the art of producing changes in our mental patterning by the use of a sometimes deliberate act of communication and influence of the human emotional and belief patterning system achieved by reducing and / or redirecting the attention of the logical conscious process so that the psyche [subconscious] becomes directly contactable.
Originally hypnosis was about the creation and delivery of SUGGESTION and it is impossible to hypnotise without suggestion. So much so that hypnosis and suggestion are much the same thing. That is they are the process of inducing a sensation, action or belief in a receptive person without direct persuasion and without giving rise to reflection or consideration in the mind of the recipient.
In other words the suggestion is just accepted without thought.
Hypnosis is not therefore relaxation, that is just the acceptance of the suggestion to relax.
