You can be the Master of Your Mind

For over a decade I have been studying the remarkable power of the human mind and teaching people how to access and harness that power. As a Board Certified Hypnotist, I know the most important tool for helping people to achieve their goals is education. When I see a client, my priority is to ensure that they understand what hypnosis is and how it can greatly improve their ability to make changes in their lives. This article is part of my goal to educate and empower people like yourself and help to clear away any misinformation that surrounds the use of hypnosis.

Large numbers of people are beginning to discover the enormous benefits that hypnosis can provide. The hundreds of new clients that I see each year are all evidence of this. People are also finding that these benefits go far beyond the stereotypical beliefs that hypnosis is limited to weight loss and smoking cessation. Many individuals have experienced the benefits of learning how to tap into that unlimited part of their mind. Your subconscious mind has superior intelligence, creativity and holds all the keys to unlocking your potential for success.

Though the time-tested use of “direct suggestion” hypnosis has had incredible results helping people to make important changes in their lives; this is now known to be just the tip of the iceberg. Modern medical research has shown that non-genetic factors such as an emotional state can cause human genes to behave (“or express themselves”) differently. A leading pioneer in this research, Dr. Bruce Lipton, a cell biologist, has stated when you change your behavior you are also re-programming your genetics.

Understanding the power of the subconscious mind and its effects at the cellular level has opened new ways for people like yourself to achieve vibrant and healthy lives. If there were a warning label put on the use of hypnosis it would likely read “Long periods of happiness, joy, and peaceful physical and emotional states have been reported by many who have experienced professional hypnosis. If you experience any of these symptoms let your physician know how good, you feel”.

Discovering your ability to control how you live your life is priceless. Experiencing emotional control can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your lifetime. This control is not demanding or commanding. The control I speak of comes from understanding that your emotions are a perfect guidance system. When you discover how to engage this highly intelligent guidance system you can achieve things in your life that today may seem impossible to you.

If you are like most people you divide your emotions into two categories "good feelings", which can include happiness, hope, love, confidence and passion, or "bad feelings", which may include anger, frustration, guilt, sorrow and fear. It is this division that can drastically limit your ability to create changes in your life. All your emotions motivate you. You are motivated to do the things that create the “good feelings” and you are motivated to avoid doing the things that create the “bad feelings”. Without the understanding of how your subconscious mind and your emotions are connected your life can feel like a never-ending rollercoaster ride of highs and lows.

If you were to use a habit such as smoking as an example you would find that when someone started smoking, their subconscious mind was recording the actions associated with smoking as “good”. Everyone started smoking, in their mind, for a good reason even if that reason was just to piss off their parents. Through repetition, this message was reinforced over and over until it became an automatic behavior known as a habit. This habit then becomes associated with everything that you did while you were smoking such as driving a car, hanging out with friends or just taking a break.  The thought that smoking is a “good feeling” then becomes a subconscious belief.

Most of the information available today through exhaustive psychological studies show that you use your conscious mind only 5 to 10% of the time. That means that 90 to 95% of your life you are running programs that drive your actions from your subconscious mind. When you attempt to change your programs without changing the emotional component you find that you are met with some strong resistance mostly in the form of negative feelings. This creates the motivation in you to not make the change that you consciously desired.

Advanced hypnotherapy techniques such as the “Halls of Thought” developed and used at the Tri-State Hypnosis Center, have been created to establish a self-empowering means in which you can become aware of subconscious thoughts and emotions that motivate the unwanted behaviors. Freedom from any habit begins with your ability to understand the relationship between the thoughts and emotions that drive your habits. It is this understanding achieved through hypnotic techniques that allows you to rewrite subconscious programs. The new programs can then create changes in your life that are meaningful and rewarding to you personally.

The choices are clear, you can continue to live your life in the shadows of your subconscious mind or you can enjoy the freedom of choosing the thoughts that best promote the life that you wish to live.
