Blood contains many proteins called clotting factors that can help to stop bleeding. People with hemophilia have low levels of either factor VIII (8) or factor IX (9). The severity of hemophilia that a person has is determined by the amount of factor in the blood. The lower the amount of the factor, the more likely it is that bleeding will occur which can lead to serious health problems.
Definition of hypnosis for English Language Learners. : a state that resembles sleep but in which you can hear and respond to questions or suggestions.
Self-hypnosis is a method of inducing a state of hypnosis in one's self, without the presence of a therapist or other third party. Self hypnosis requires conscious intent and motivation followed by a process of self-guided relaxation of mental and physical processes to overcome distraction and achieve a state of focussed awareness. This is very similar to the process of meditation.
