What Is Hypnosis?

Ivan Petrovich Pavlov (1849-1936), who won the Nobel prize for physiology and medicine in 1904, studied the physiology of hypnosis exhaustively and concluded that hypnosis involves a temporary inhibition of the cerebral cortex, the conscious, intelligent, uniquely human part of our brain.

Since then scientists with modern instruments have confirmed that cortical inhibition does indeed occur under hypnosis. Many scientists believe this cortical inhibition explains why, in a state of hypnosis, suggestions are able to reach the lower brain centers and initiate desired changes in habits and perception.

Fortunately, subjects respond only to post-hypnotic suggestions to which they want to respond, and do not respond to undesired suggestions.  After hypnosis, people generally report a relaxed, peaceful feeling, and a general feeling of well-being.

There are many theories as to why evolution (and/or God) has given us this faculty, but clearly it serves a beneficial purpose or natural selection would not have preserved it so universally. Forms of hypnosis are found in almost every culture in the world from the most advanced to the most primitive.
