Practitioners of the state theory suggest that the mind can be transformed into an altered stage.


In other words, the subject's mind can be taken to another plane and controlled by the practitioner.


Those of the non-state theory claim that hypnosis as a phenomenon can be observed as the culmination of focus or attention, and does not necessarily lead to the transformation of the mind to another state.


However, it is enough for us to know that hypnosis is a process of induction and observation of its effects.
