We have two minds. The thinking or conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The subconscious is by far the more powerful of the two. The thinking or conscious mind does math, verbal and linear skills. The subconscious mind is where we find the autonomic nervous system which handles functions like breathing, blood pressure, eye blinking, digestion, heart rhythm,  healing of the body and sleeping.

The subconscious mind is 85% more powerful than the thinking mind. It’s how we experience ourselves and the world. The subconscious is where we find our personality, our emotions, our habits, our moods, our memory, our intuition and what makes up our cognitive maps – hence, our behavior. We cannot change our behavior in our thinking or conscious mind, only in our subconscious. The subconscious mind is where we dream. It’s where our imagination and our creativity reside. IT’S WHERE PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED.

We are wherever we are today in life is because of yesterday’s  behavior. Our tomorrows can’t be any different from our today’s unless we change our behavior. This can only be done in the subconscious mind. Hypnotism is the bridge to the subconscious. Hypnotism reaches the subconscious mind through the frontal cortex. If one has ever day dreamed, they’ve been in hypnosis! That’s what hypnosis is – controlled daydreaming. When you’ve been so involved in a book or project that everything around you disappeared and you were totally “into the book or project?” That too is hypnosis.

When one is in hypnosis one does not surrender control of their mind to someone else, one is transferring control from their conscious mind to their subconscious mind. One has more clarity, more focus and is able to function on a higher level, the level of intuition!
