The Subconscious Mind

Throughout the pages on this site, I talk about the logical mind and the creative mind. This page is about the creative mind...

the subconscious mind.

The subconscious mind is where are dreams are formed and where our imagination lives. It holds all of our memories.

Over time, as our memories interact with each other, we develop reactions to certain situations in our lives...some of which become habits.

And, some of these habits, we would rather do without. We get rid of these unwanted habits with hypnosis. You can call it positive thinking, affirmations, or whatever you want...it's all a form of hypnosis.

For example, when typewriters were first invented, the keys were laid out in order(a b c d,etc.), but typists got so fast, the keys started jamming, and the typewriter would break. To overcome this, the QWERTY keyboard was developed. This slowed down typists significantly.

A whole industry emerged to teach this new method, and typists re-gained their speed. If it wasn't for the invention of computers, and return springs on typewriters, the layout of the keys would have changed again.

And today, QWERTY is all we know, and it would be pretty hard to change.

The point is this...

No one says the typists used hypnosis to learn the new keyboard layout, but by memorizing the keys and practicing over and over, they reprogrammed their subconscious mind, which is what hypnosis does.

Hypnosis is just easier because we have tried and true ways of reaching the subconscious mind and getting it to do what we want it to.

There are several techniques, but one of the most important is suggestion. How well the suggestions are structured is a major part in how effective hypnosis will be for you.

For example, everyone's subconscious mind is different.

Some people are visual learners. Some are auditory learners, andothers are kinesthetic (emotional) learners. Everyone has a little of all three, but one is usually more prominent than the others.

So, the suggestions could to be structured to use words that "click" with your subconscious mind.

Further, you can use hypnosis to do a "search" of the subconscious mind, which, depending on how you do it, will produce false beliefs that have been holding you back from whatever you are trying to achieve.

It's kind of like a search engine...

You use certain suggestions and action words...

And your subconscious mind will produce a list of memories and connotations that are not healthy(false beliefs).

When you realize that certain things are holding you back...

Then you use the suggestions to "correct" your subconscious mind.

And that is how you achieve success!
