Hypnosis is an art and a science which
can be used by anyone as a tool to resolve problems. It is
not a black magic and there is nothing mysterious about it.
Hypnosis works on our mind. The mind
is divided into two broad categories – conscious mind and
subconscious mind. We use conscious mind for thinking, reasoning
and rationalization. The conscious mind forms a small part
of the mind.
By far the more dominating part of
our mind is the subconscious mind. It has control on how we
behave and think in real life. It controls our basic attitude,
thinking pattern and the way we react to constant stimuli
we receive all the time from outside world. It is also the
repository of all life’s memories and experience.
Our success and failure are directly
dependent upon the choices we make in our lives. And the choices
we make are influenced by the subconscious mind. While making
the choices the subconscious mind tries to re-live the past
experience. Among the vast data of feelings, emotions and
experience stored in the subconscious mind there will be some
more dominant than others. The subconscious mind tends to
create the dominant experience again and again. In a way it
tries to justify that the dominant experience deserves to
remain dominant.
All of us want to change for better,
we want to succeed and we want to make winning a habit. But
our subconscious mind will only work to reinforce its own
world-view. Being dominant it will also make us behave likewise.
If subconscious mind has such a strong
influence on our actions, why not harness its influencing
power to get desired results?
Hypnosis changes the belief system
This is where hypnosis comes in.
By hypnosis it is possible to change the belief system or
the world-view being held by the subconscious mind. For example,
let us say that the subconscious mind thinks that I cannot
speak in public. By not being able to speak in public I generate
certain emotions which could be self-pity, repentance, sense
of failure, feeling of getting a raw deal from the world etc.
These emotions have become dominant because of my past experience
in life. When I try to speak in public next time, unless I
am better prepared, the chances are that I will fail miserably,
evoke those feelings again and the subconscious mind will
happily confirm that its belief system is intact.
By hypnosis it is possible to remove
the mental inhibitions. It is possible to alter the subconscious
mind’s belief system. When that happens the subconscious mind
becomes a formidable force which will try to reinforce its
new belief system. It will bring all the resources to justify
its altered viewpoint.
Just by harnessing the power of our
subconscious using hypnosis, we can remove our inhibitions
which prevent us from speaking in public or behaving confidently.
We can remove what we think are our limitations – such as
the feeling that I cannot succeed or cannot reduce weight
or cannot give up smoking.
Let us face a hard fact of life.
As adults we are totally responsible for our present situation
in life. Most of us are not happy with what we have. We hold
the entire world responsible except ourselves for the state
of affairs we are in. But the fact remains that we are in
the present state only, and I repeat, only because of the
choices we have made in our lives. We have subconsciously
allowed ourselves to believe that we cannot have a better
deal. We have really reconciled ourselves with what we have
and rarely attempt to cross our self-imposed boundary. But
it does not have to be that way. There are ways to break free
from our shell.
Now we know that ALL our problems
originate from the conviction held by the subconscious mind.
There is simply no other source of our problems. And it is
possible to change this conviction by hypnosis. This means
we have the power to resolve all our problems when we make
good use of the power with us.
The scope of hypnosis is endless
and can be applied to virtually any situation where we wish
to improve. The art of self hypnosis can be mastered by anyone.
All you need is a firm resolve to improve yourself.
