Hypnosis from basic survival to personal development

Hypnosis, that is this strange and yet wonderful state that the brain can generate.

Just a little trance and you can face problems with courage that in any other state you would avoid.

Just a little trance and you can tune into your own body.

A little deeper and you can be pain free.

The Triune Brain Explanation may be of help here.

Since alligators can be hypnotised or placed in the hypnotic state, it might be assumed that the hypnosis state is reptilian in origin. The survival instinct is housed here and perhaps hypnosis is a survival instinct in its most primitive sense.

But Human beings are not primitive, we are highly complex social creatures who have used technology to advance our existence. Life for most is less about life or death survival but more about living in luxury.

Our Neo Cortex has given us such advanced problem solving abilities, Humans are indeed as magnificent as we think we are.

But nevertheless we are easily hypnotised. From the stage show to the therapist's couch, it still happens to us in relaxed state. Do you remember the way you forgot half the journey while driving home? Hypnosis, Yes.

Out of body experiences may be of a hypnotic nature, from the white light on the operating table to transcendental meditation, it is possible that this ancient trance state has a role to play in these experiences.

Our ancient self understood how important survival instincts were and are, so we were endowed with the gift of trance.

These days the greatest threat to your life is a stressful environment, family problems, lack of confidence, inactivity etc. Why not tap into this ancient natural trance state to improve your modern life.

Is all inside of you, you are the key to your freedom.

I hope you like this video, it is both fun and interesting.

Get Positive - Stay Positive

Tuesday September 14th 2010

It’s raining outside, it dull and grey, the hours of daylight have shortened and for some, this time of year is just a bit of a downer for so many.

Perhaps it reminds people of going back to school or for parents, maybe it’s that time of year when the kids go back to their own little world and you miss them.

For some, the reduced hours of daylight may cause sadness to creep in.

With longer nights some of you will fill your evenings with TV soaps and relax on the couch.

This time of year is often the catalyst for thinking, now you have time for your thoughts, its quiet outside as everyone is in having hot cups of tea.

For those of you with unresolved problems, maybe a broken family, perhaps a broken heart, maybe just old fashioned loneliness, these long evenings allow thoughts into your mind that the summer sun suppressed.

Like a voice you may not want to hear, thoughts enter your mind. Little reminders of past trials, guilt, a criticising parent, perhaps you have perpetuated the cycle and now you are the one who criticises, perhaps criticising yourself or a loved one. Maybe traumatic memories release now or maybe they seep in your dreams. The darkness of winter is almost fully here.

You know everyone feels down from time to time but this time you take action. You are a worthy person, you a good person, and its time for you now.

The dialogue of the mind can shape your feelings but you can take control of this right away and the more you practice the more control you command.

Find a quiet place to sit and close your eyes, perhaps a few drop of essential oil or incense might create the right atmosphere.

With your eyes closed, say inwardly to yourself (In time with your breathing)

I am here, this is now (These words ground you in the present)

I am a worthwhile person (confirmation of your value)

I can, I will, I am (these action words imply doing something) (constructive action)

I love myself (Building self esteem)

I am relaxed (relaxes breathing and the body)

These are simple example of what to say. Some people say them out loud, others recite inwardly. Make your own positive affirmations. Practice them everyday (30 minutes) and you’ll be amazed at how you emotions shift in to the positive zone.

Also surround yourself with positive things like a painting of a beautiful beach or a flower garden has great positive effects on the mind.

Using quotes on a daily basis is a great way to get you to think positively and overcome your fears.

“The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it”
