Humans have in fact been in a hypnotic state on many occasions without even being aware of it. For example when you are driving perfectly physically, but mentally you are somewhere else and miss your turning off the motorway, or maybe even thinking about a loved one. Everything we learn is stored in our subconscious and with reference to the example above, driving skills are stored in our subconscious.

In this way we may begin to look beyond the pendulum swinging pocket watch of popular fiction and towards the powerful and useful tool for positive change that many people
