In chapter 5 reading hypnosis is derived from the Greek word for sleep. It is an altered state of consciousness in which people are suggestible and behave as though they are in a trance. The dictionary defines meditation as the act or process of thinking, but the concept usually suggests thinking deeply about the universe. One common form of meditation, transcendental meditation (TM), was brought to the united states by the Maharishi Maheshi Yogi in 1959. People practice TM by concentrating on words or sounds are claimed to help the person achieve an altered state of consciousness. Another form of meditation is mindfulness meditation (MM) with clients and the techniques to use to focus on the present moment rather than ruminate about problems.
