In my job I spend a lot of time with clients just describing what hypnosis feels like. I came up with a simple example that seems to do a good job of explaining things.
Just focus on your breathing and notice how it works automatically. Your "deeper mind" and body know how to do this. Then, use your conscious mind to control your breathing. Regulate how deeply and how slowly you breathe. Continue this and very soon it becomes more awkward and ineffective. Eventually, your conscious mind "gives up control" and your automatic functions continue.
You can take that same mental state at the moment of "giving up control" and compare it to the moment we act out any behavior or habit we may do. We get in the car and without "thinking" lock the door. We get home from work and have a desire for food - even when we're not physically hungry. Actions that have become automatic and work automatically when our mind is in a state of "hypnosis"
The next step is using hypnosis to change the behavior that has become unwanted.
