Consciousness is the state or quality of awareness, or, of being aware of an external object or something within oneself.
Hypnosis is a state of human consciousness involving focused attention and reduced peripheral awareness and an enhanced capacity for response to suggestion. Theories explaining what occurs during hypnosis fall into two groups.vicenna (980-1037), a Persian Physician, documented the characteristics of the  trance (Hypnotic Trance) state in 1027. At that time hypnosis as a medical treatment was seldom used until the German Doctor, Franz Mesmer, reintroduced it in the 18th Century.
