Hypnois is Baby-Stuff and Valuable Too

Hypnosis is a Skill and Easy

If an explanation is not easy – comprehensible without nuclear physics –

the writer can’t cut-it with me.

Hypnosis requires three elements:

1. A sense of expectation. (It can, and I’m waiting for it).

2. A powerful desire. (It’s my dream – my burning-desire).

3. A compelling belief. (I can mentally visualize my goal).

All hypnosis needs is an ‘expectation,’ and granting yourself permission to permit

it to happen.

The most jaded – skeptical researcher knows that success in any goal begins

with a mental-picture (movies are better), that you can and will access to

remind you of your burning-desire. Let the visualization guide you to

create the habits of thought and behavior to make your objectives a reality.

Once the habit engrams are implanted – your brain is acting on auto-pilot to

bring your goals into your life. Auto-pilot means both left-and-right-brains

are acting ‘in-sync’ – consciously and non-consciously to produce your goals.

Words

Not just the religious believe that – ‘In the beginning was the Word…”

Speech and self-talk (subvocalization) instantly create mental-images that

are charged by emotions to become behavior. They are powered by prior

‘association’, both good-and-bad. The ‘dog’ scare as an infant, the burned-finger,

and the smiles and praise of winning become habits of a lifetime.

Remember – after the experience – the ‘word’ alone creates all the original experiences. “Dog’ – ‘fire’ and ‘winning’ become ‘’triggers’ and emotional

“anchors”. One of our important anchors is – “Let-it-Go!” to release stress,

and forus concentration.

Prove it!

Recent scientific research at the Department of Anesthesia at the University of

Iowa Hospital and Clinic, tracing pain-perception with fMRI scans showed

for the first time – the effect of hypnosis on the brain.

Result: increase activation of the left Anterior Cingulate Cortex and the Basal

Ganglia, causing an inhibitory-pathway of pain perception. Next, it showed

reduced activation of the middle cingular cortex, precuneus, and visual cortex,

and the primary sensory cortex. The ‘pain’ stimulus is shut-down.

Conclusion: if hypnosis can eliminate substantial pain – is it hard to believe

suggestions to learn faster, concentrate better, and double your long-term

memory - are doable? The brain can be changed by hypnosis both temporarily

and permanently – and the proof is uncontestable.

Habits are Installed or Replaced Using Imagination

Yes, repetition is often required because we ‘cancel’ the new habit when it comes

too-easy. Change is instinctively-frightening, even when it produce a ‘positive’ result. How often to we ‘fall-off-the-wagon’ in dieting? Ask those who are alcoholics

or drug-addicts how many times they have tried to stop – even though they desperately want to cease-and-desist – they self-sabotage because they are deathly

afrain of a major change in their mind-and-lifestyle.

The harder they try to stop – the ‘effort’ of our left-brain, the more they fail.

Success comes at a non-conscious level – and only when we are deeply-relaxed,

and access our limbic-system (emotions), through our right-brain.

Success comes from having and flashing our mental-movie of living a successful

and joyful life without the negative habit. Each repetition is a ‘reinforcement’ - deepening the new attitude and lifestyle. Scientists call this – Conditioned

Response patterns. We call it – conditioning and self-conditioning, and it’s easy and effective. Ultimately – we associate feelings-of-pleasure with the ‘new’ habit and response.

For you smarties – check out our brain releasing – ‘dopamine’, which is

a neurotransmitter dumped into the brain at the Nucleus Accumbens and the

VTA (Ventral Tagmental Area). See: Endorphins.

Hypnagogic and Hypnopompic Windows of Opportunity

Just before we fall asleep, and just before awakening are ‘open-sesame’ to

installing goals, new attitudes and success. Whatever you repetitiously-mentally-

visualize – and emotionalize at these two-windows of opportunity – you are capable

of bringing a major reality in your life. Follow the Law of 21 (days), and create a mental-movie of your burning-desire.

There is one additional time to enter the mind and submit commands to the

corpus callosum, the internal communication system of our brain. It is during

meditation – any time you intentionally deeply relax beta-consciousness, and

enter alpha and theta cycles-per-second, as measured by an EEG. More later.

See ya,
