Clear your mind, take a deep breath.
and don't think of a blue elephant...
What just happened? ... I bet you thought of a blue elephant.
That's because the mind responds to action words.
The word "don't" never registers to our subconscious mind.
Typically most people think of a blue elepahnt befor they rush on to find some 'other' thing to think about.

Every day we are seeing, hearing, and learning new thoughts.
We also tend to stay in the same city, around the same friends and family, so most of those thoughts are repeated on a daily basis.
And, as we know, "Repetition Strengthens and Confirms". So, that's it...
That is what hypnosis is.
It really isn't to complicated.
Early on, we develop certain habits. Our habits come from those repeated thoughts, and that is why we start smoking or start gaining weight in the first place. So, it's really about changing what thoughts make us do these things.
A sort of reprogramming, if you will.
Our genes do play a small part, but, fortunately, the power of the mind can offset that.
More and more, science is proving how powerful our mind really is. Some even go as far to say that we create our external reality by our thoughts.
Going by this school of thought, it would not be uncommon to say the only reason our genes have anything to do with it is because we believe our genes exist and because we believe they have that much power !
This theory is pretty neat, the sciencentiic evidence is new, and many are excited about how to put it to use in thier everyday lives.
The ideas are not knew it's just that now the ideas are no longer just IDEAS they are now proven to be ligitmate scientifically proven facts.
Maybe you have heard about the Law of Attraction, this is one example of how many are coming into the awareness of the power of the thoughts on a very large scale at this point in history.
Another buzz in the spiritual movement is the Power of Now movement that has recently hit the media. Thanks to some great celebrities who what to help others and make a difference in the lives of thier fans.
I remember hearing the words THE ETERNAL NOW in a self help group about 20 years ago.
It was a revelation to me then and it is still a concept I continue to apply in my life 20 years later.
So, back to hypnosis.
That is what you are here for, right ?
Well welcome to a sight that is all about how you can use your mind in a gentle, easy way, that will enable you to change your life and it WORKS.
I'm sure you have heard the stories about someone hypnotizing a person and having access to their subconscious mind or, in some way, having control over them.
Even if you haven't, none of that is true.
Yes, you do open your subconscious mind, but fortunately, if there is something I don't want you to know or, maybe I don't want you to make me bark like a dog when the doorbell rings, it isn't going to happen.
YOU are always in control of what happens during hypnosis.
The reason we get into the subconscious mind is because it's easier.(I know, what a shock)
All those repeated thoughts we talked about earlier take years and years to become your personality, your habits, problem solving skills, etc.
If we went that route, you might have to listen to a migraine hypnosis tape for 20 years before you stopped having migraines !
By getting to the subconscious mind, it is a lot easier because we are going directly to the source of where all those thoughts are.
We talked earlier about how the mind responds to action words.
While this is true, to get the more effective response from the mind, we use positive action words that are associated with emotions.
Emotions are much more powerful, especially during hypnosis.
Think about the word " quit ". (a non action word)
Now, think about the word " start ". (an action word)
Think about the emotions associated with the two words.
The first (quit) sounds negative, while the other (start) is positive.
One directs the mind to undo something (quit). It does not suggest an action to take. In addtion to this it may make is feels like we are losing something.
The other suggests a postive concrete action to perform (breathing fresh, healing, life sustaining oxygen). This feels like we are gaining something.
The combination of giving an action to perform along with an emotional message to gain something like "healing oxygen" generates success at the subconscious level.
So, to get the best results, we wouldn't want to say, "quit smoking", we want to say, "start breathing more oxygen", because this give the creative mind an action to take.
That is why it works !
And that's all I have for right now, but keep checking back as the site grows. There is much more to come !
