How hypnosis helps change our lives

The evil of our century is nervous tension. In one way or another we all suffer from it at some point. We lose control of our lives and feel drawn by forces that we do not believe we can control. And it is logical: in this century the technological advance has been such that it has affected the whole world.

Advances in science have revolutionized our daily lives in such a way that they take us on a dizzying race that makes us all in a hurry. No wonder, man was not created to withstand such pressures ... or was he?

All points are debatable. But what is certain is that there are ways to regain control, preventing modern life from dragging us down and ending our mental health.

A new nuance

When the word hypnosis is heard mentioned, the hypnotist is generally thought of as a mixture of "mad scientist" and "magician." The hypnotized person also comes to mind as a sleeping being that is in the power of this magician, who can control him at will and make him do whatever comes to mind.

The truth is that there is nothing further from the truth. The hypnotized person is not asleep. Hypnosis is analogous to sleep, but completely different. In fact, we could say that it is to some extent the antithesis of the dream.

By entering a hypnotic state, people increase their sensitivity and their mental faculties multiply greatly.

Under hypnosis we do not lose control of our actions. At no time can the hypnotist make the hypnotized do something that he does not want to do. Finally, you don't need a person to "put us in a trance".

We ourselves can easily hypnotize ourselves. Multiple experiments have shown that hypnosis is a very useful tool for modifying human behavior. Not only can it be achieved by eliminating complex psychological trauma and achieving relaxation, but it is also used in daily life to eliminate cigarette addiction and to help people lose weight.

Do you know what hypnosis really is?

It is a state in which we let the conscious side of our mind rest, we become receptive to a set of suggestions, and we allow the subconscious to surface. The hypnotic trance can be more or less deep depending on the person and what you want to achieve through hypnosis.

Don't limit yourself

Most of the problems that plague humans are mental. We set ourselves barriers that prevent us from achieving happiness, which is ultimately what everyone wants. One of the greatest powers that exist is suggestion. If a normal person thinks they can do something, they will most likely achieve it. The key to success in life is self-confidence. If you say "I can't", you will never get anywhere. However, the moment you say "I can" and firmly believe it, your possibilities are limitless.

The subconscious is a state in which mental processes take place without the mind being aware of its own activity.

The human mind is the most perfect computer that exists. Man knows very little about what goes on in his mind and about the power of it. When it is said that our mind and a computer are alike, it is in the fact that they only work well if they are programmed correctly. The conscious mind uses inductive and deductive logic. Inductive logic is that which reasons from the specific to the general. The deductive goes from a general conclusion to a specific fact. The subconscious reasons only deductively.

All the experiences of our lives are housed in our subconscious. Even those of which we have no memory. Everything is imprinted on the subconscious.

Many people suffer from childhood traumas that prevent them from realizing and leading a full life. Among the most common traumas are phobias (irrational fears) and so-called "mental blocks." Often these traumatized people do not know why they have this trauma or what caused it. Usually, as mentioned, traumas are created in childhood.

Children are open to any kind of influence that is exerted on them. It is likely that parents, without realizing it, create these traumas by telling the child that he does not know how to do this or that. Over time this becomes what we call mental "blocks" and is often heard said:

"I have great difficulty with math."

"I can't remember the names."

"I am very afraid of speaking in public."

And the most curious thing is that these "blocks" do not exist, they are only in our imagination. Through autosuggestion, which is what self-hypnosis is, we can overcome those fears and eliminate those "blocks".

The conscious and subconscious minds function as a seesaw: when the conscious is up, the subconscious is down and vice versa. With autosuggestion or self-hypnosis we can bring out the subconscious and reprogram it to eliminate a negative behavior, replacing it with a positive one.

Why is it important to have positive thoughts

Positive thinking is the most important instrument of autosuggestion. Once the hypnotic trance is achieved, the commands must all be given in a specific way.

For example, do not say: "I will not be nervous or tense." It is said "I am calm and I have confidence in myself at all times, with everyone and in all places."

You don't say, "I'm not going to eat between meals." It is said: "I only eat at meal times."

If we give the suggestion wrong, the mind receives the words "tense" and "nervous" and the state of anxiety worsens. But if we use the appropriate words, the subconscious mind receives the desired cues "calm" and "confidence." The best way to give suggestions is in the affirmative with words that are always positive.

Considerations when practicing hypnosis

Hypnosis is a technique that takes time to master well. It is important that you practice daily if you want it to work. Remember that the most important thing is total relaxation.

With practice, you will find that it becomes easier and easier to relax. This relaxation can make your life change completely. If you learn to relax, you will find that you have more control of your mind and your actions. The most advisable thing is to practice recurrently for short periods of time. Before beginning your practices, keep in mind that, for this exercise to be effective, you need to be open-minded to this new experience. If you are very skeptical or mistrustful, you will not be able to hypnotize yourself.

It is important that you have a motivation; that is, that you feel like doing your part to learn. The place where you practice should be appropriate, as well as the hypnotic suggestions (the commands) that you use.

Remember that the more you repeat a command, the more deeply it will stick with you. Try to keep your language always positive. If you can combine a visual image with your words, do it, because it will be more effective.

From now on everything depends on you. Hypnosis is a weapon that can change your life and help you be what you want.
