What does hypnosis feel like? | Hypnosis Q&A with Alicia Fairclough 

Thank you I'm so keen to see the rest of the series. You always give out such a positive vibe in whatever video you make which makes it awesome especially for those of us who don't have a lot of experience with hypnosis. Thank you

Very interesting and informative. I love these hypnosis 101 videos. I'm quite happy that you are making them into a series. I'm really looking forward to the next one. :D

If you have questions you would like answered be sure to comment them here or on Facebook so I can keep track! xx

I love you sooooooo much. 💙💙💙 Your beauty is already hypnotizing. 😊 You're so strong, I'm not. I also expect different hypnosis videos 💕

Great to hear you're doing a new set of Hypnosis 101 videos, they're always interesting and enjoyable. I suspect I'm one of those people you referred to who think they haven't been hypnotised. I understand that it's a continuum rather than a binary on/off, but it seems I can only get so far along it. I can achieve physical relaxation, especially if the induction includes mindful breathing, but find that my mind doesn't relax so easily. As you'll probably guess, I'm very analytic, probably over-analytic, and find it very hard to switch off. Do you have any advice to help me get that little bit more mentally relaxed? Thanks!

Love your videos! 👌🏻❤️

Is hypnosis still effective if your mind wanders? I've listened to some hypnosis videos (including yours which are great btw) before and sometimes your voice fades out. Does the subconscious mind still receive the suggestions? Thanks again Alicia for another great video!

100% great idea. These videos will be really good. I'm curious. Can you hypnotise people out of 'negative' habits? For example, if you had a pack-a-day smoker who did no other work on the habit, are you capable of 'hypnotising' them out of the habit? If so, how many sessions would this typically take?

Can you talk about your training? I have recently discovered hypnosis and have been looking at various places for information but haven't seen a real detailed description of what the schools are like. Thank you and love the 101's!

Hi Alicia, really enjoy your videos. I have a question, if your hypnotised but then not given the command to wake up, do you naturally come out of it. Or do you stay hypnotised. Thanks

I have a question: Has the fact that you are a hypnotist and knowing all the patterns, language, conventions, and concepts of hypnosis hindered your ability to be hypnotized? I know it has for me, as I'm a hypnotist myself. Whenever I listen to files, I can't seem to stop myself from trying to predict what the hypnotist is going to do. I know that I'm a pretty darn high physical suggestible, so that probably isn't the problem. Maybe it's different with a real live hypnotist, as I haven't had a session with a real one yet. What are your thoughts on the subject? PS: Love your videos! :D

that Peter Rabbit thing is what always happens with me, with that sort of suggestion. Some part of you always knows it's not right, but the feeling gets pushed aside.

Hi, it feels like every ounce of your body, depending on topic, and on focus, achieving various levels of relaxation. Like a massage chair for your entire body.. except with hypnosis the results differ. You can have a smooth sensation, like someone is placing a blanket over you , to an extreme reaction to someone claiming to take over your brain. It all depends on what your looking for.

have you seen any papers or books that include research on hypnotic sugestibility with autism spectrum disorder also known as aspburgers . I have it and was looking for some infomation about the affcted areas of the brain . i love your videos . keep up the good work

Is there a suggested maximum daily dose of hypnosis? Probably not, but years ago, for three days, I tranced for hours past midnight and then could not get fully awake for a whole weekend. My mind felt very fuzzy. Sounds seemed muffled. Maybe it was more about lack of sleep, but I really thought I had broken my brain over this newfound internet novelty. Web research eased my panic somewhat, and on Sunday afternoon, I could feel and hear my mind clearing in a couple minutes. It did teach me the value of moderation. Haven't "binge tranced" since.

Hi Alicia,were you born and raised here in England? I love your videos and thank you for the ones relevant to me. Would it be possible to do something for PTSD sufferers? Although I realise we dont all suffer the same symptoms x

Despite my desire to be hypnotized I also just find myself just listening to the videos like they're an audiobook as in I can picture what's being said and see staircase or escalator but don't feel myself walking or drifting down. Is there a way to help me go under or am I just one of those people who can't be hypnotized?

I have a question can you watch 2 or 3 hypnosis videos in a row or is that to much for your brain to process in a short amount of time

Why did you choose to be a hypnotherapist? Are certain personalities more suited for the field than others?

Hi, can you do a video explaining and demonstrating autohypnosis??

So i watched your video about suggestibility and i am very confused because I am very easy to hypnotize but the why you describe emotional suggestible people sounds more like me so which one am I?

What is your opinion on the implications of hypnosis for physical health and medicine, and not just mental or psychological health? I have heard of hypnobirthing (a woman being hypnotized to give birth with less labor pain; not to be confused with a man being hypnotized on stage to think he is giving birth :) ) as well as hypnosis being used in place of some anesthetics for certain surgical procedures (I have heard of it but would have to search for a direct reference). Do you think those are safe and viable uses for hypnosis?

Will you do more hypnosis with fidget spinner? I love your vídeos *_*

I wanna learn how to hypnotize people fast and easy but I'm only 14

Have you some advice or something about be hypnotized in other language? I have the spanish like mother language, and by the moment, I couldn't be hypnotized for your videos (I try many times, especially fast induction). You speack spanish? xD I like your chanel and videos. I don't have the hypnotic experience yet, but I hope be hypnotized some day xD. Regards from Argentina.

plz do a cat and chicken hypnosis plz

Are you saying it's impossible for hypnosis to induce amnesia or that no ethical hypnotist would actually try to do that?

heey alicia good perfect
