Montreal Rotary Club president Nemo Turner talked about hypnosis principles that can apply in daily life.  how hypnosis works is that during a relaxed state,  the  subconscious mind is open to positive suggestions.
 

hypnosis can be used to obtain a better outlook on life and even cure some dis-eases.

Because the subconscious mind cannot make the difference between reality and illusion , it is possible to make it belive positive affirmation as being true.

for example, care giver around a sick person by THEIR positive attitude and positive affirmations on the patient's recovery  can indeed greatly improve the healing process and recovery.
