People in hypnosis “can picture something that makes them stressed, but they can imagine that their bodies are floating and comfortable,” said the study’s senior author, Stanford psychiatry professor David Spiegel. “So, when you are thinking about something, you can better control how your body responds to that thought.”

Spiegel concluded, “This is showing that hypnosis is not a parlor trick or a magic show, It is a neurobiological phenomenon.”
