Will I be totally "out of it"?

- Many people believe that they will lose consciousness when they are hypnotised, but this is not true.   Hypnosis is similar to meditation and you are normally fully aware of what is going on around you.  In fact, when people are hypnotised for the first time, it is quite common for them to think that they were not in trance and that it didn't work because they were aware of everything.
