I found out that hypnosis is thought to work by altering our state of consciousness in such a way that the left side of the brain is turned off, while the right side is made more alert. The conscious control of the mind is unable to act, and the subconscious mind awoken. Since the subconscious mind is a deeper, more instinctive force than the conscious mind, this is the part that has to change for the patient's behavior and physical state to alter. When you alter the subconscious mind, you become hypnotized. To make someone hypnotized, you have to take him or her into a quiet room with no distractions, you have to get him or her to relax all parts of their body, speak gently to them, and have them explore their imagination. Hypnotism takes a long process and the person hypnotizing has to be focused the entire time.
