When a person is in hypnosis, the physical changes that they experience are really related to relaxation. Most of us are a little tense, and in our society, we tend to be a little stressed. When you allow yourself to enter a deep hypnotic trance, your body relaxes completely; so much so that you might forget that it exists. The physiological changes associated with it is that the heart slows down, the blood pressure drops, which is good if you're stressed. The skin temperature and body temperature does often drop, very much like in a deep meditative state. And the mind gets very still and very clear and very focused. So the physical feeling is one of absolute relaxation. It's almost like being in a bubble. And you forget where you are, you forget your body, so much so that you may not feel anything. In fact, that's how they use hypnosis for anesthesia. And you're very, very relaxed and focused. It's a wonderful feeling, actually.
