The purpose of hypnotism
Hypnotism is synonymous with the word mesmerize. If you have often found yourself mesmerized by something beautiful like a moonlit night, the sound of the rain, beautiful sunrise, or a sunset, then you have allowed yourself to be mesmerized by that situation. What happens when a person gets mesmerized? The mind of the person goes into a trance-like state where he is free from all worries and lost in the beauty of the sight and temporarily cut off from all the other materialistic worlds. This state of the mind is self-hypnosis when you hypnotize yourself without the help of any professional psychiatrist.
