Hypnosis is a relaxed, focused state of concentration.
But the actual state of hypnosis is a little harder to define. Until recently it was assumed that it was similar to sleep, or that the mind was somehow unconscious. In reality, there is a specific state that the brain enters into when it is receptive to suggestion. This has been discovered on scans during hypnosis.
The brain operates in four general states determined by the frequency of the electricity generated by the exchange of chemicals in the neural pathways. The four states include Full Conscious Awareness, the Hypnotic State, the Dream State, and the Sleep State.
These four states are defined by brainwave electrical frequency ranges.

No. The induction of hypnosis is never dangerous to the person being hypnotized, although many people have fears and ideas that cause them to be fearful. A hypnotist’s job is to educate and inform clients so that they see hypnosis for what it is: a powerful tool for creating personal transformation.
Of course, in actuality, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis, meaning a state that anyone can and does enter throughout the day. If focussed, it can be very powerful for you access the awesome power of the subconscious mind. This is the power that sometimes allows humans to do superhuman things.
