Hypnosis is such a powerful method for improving self confidence, self image, motivation and optimism yet it is shrouded in myths, mystery and images of the occult.
So what is hypnosis?
Can we dispel some of the myths that surround it?
How can we use it to improve our lives?
Hypnosis is?
Hypnosis is a scientifically proven and powerfully effective technique that can help in cases as
changing behaviour
improving mental health
breaking bad habits
improving optimism, motivation and self esteem
setting goals
quitting smoking
losing weight.
The process involves getting the subject into a very relaxed state of relaxation. At this point the subconscious mind becomes extremely receptive to suggestions. As one of the functions of the subconscious mind is to control our beliefs and emotions, it can now be seen how beliefs and thoughts can easily be altered using hypnosis. This may at first appear to be a frightening prospect but as we shall demonstrate there shouldn’t be anything to fear. http://www.alleluiasuccessishere.com
So what are the myths?
The media are very hot on portraying subjects under the influence of hypnosis as being asleep. Many a stage act has produced people performing what seems like absurd routines.
On the contrary, hypnosis is an approved scientifically based method of therapy which is many centuries old. Under hypnosis the subject remains aware of his/her surroundings. The conscious mind becomes a little dormant and the subconscious mind takes more control but the subject cannot be forced to do or say anything that they do not want to. Such participants in any stage performance are likely to be very extrovert by nature and enjoy performing in public anyway.
Being under hypnosis is to be in a state of deep relaxation, receptive to suggestions yet still being aware of the surroundings. It’s like being half awake, that short period before falling asleep. It is sometimes referred to as “the trance state” where the conscious mind is slightly dormant so does not perform its normal function of filtering suggestions.
The conscious mind filters out what it does not like or will not accept. Tell somebody that is lacking in confidence that they are a confident person and their conscious mind will likely block that idea. Under hypnosis though, the conscious mind is less capable of blocking suggestions, so the suggestion of confidence now by-passes the conscious mind and sinks into the subconscious mind. Further repetition of this suggestion under hypnosis will deepen the belief.
Commercials on television have little effect on us unless they catch us in a state of deep relaxation. Sometimes if we are fully engrossed in a television programme the interruption of that programme can catch us in an almost hypnotic state. Subliminal advertising where messages were flashed onto the screen so quickly that the eye didn’t see it were very affective many decades ago. Despite the eye not catching it, the subconscious mind did and subsequently many people developed the desire to have that product. Needless to say, this practice has no been abolished on our T.V. sets now. http://www.alleluiasuccessishere.com
What can hypnosis do for us?
In the deep relaxed state where the subconscious mind is more in control, it becomes easier to program. Thus new beliefs can be installed and old ones strengthened. As the subconscious mind controls behaviour, so new patterns of behaviour can be installed.
Inferiority complexes can be removed, self images greatly improved and self confidence, motivation and optimism strongly boosted. All tremendous qualities to create success.
