The pre frontal cortex is the part of the brain that has been attributed to positive attitudes, optimism, the ability to solve problems, and where one makes executive decisions and derives their cognitive functioning abilities. Reasoning, problem solving, planning complex cognitive behaviors and personality expression originate here. If you are a high functioning individual you will have a highly developed pre frontal cortex. Studies have proved that repeated hypnosis enhances the prefrontal cortex.

When a heart goes into atrial or ventricular fibrillation, the heart rate goes extremely high – 160 or higher. It’s pumping very little blood, if any; in fact it would best be described as twitching or quivering – not pumping.

Some individuals get stressed to the point of panic and they go into what I have termed “mental fibrillation.” The brain is running fast, in fact it’s in overdrive, but it is unable to pump out ideas and unable to resolve issues. What’s the solution?

Our two minds consist of our conscious or analyzing mind that provides us with our math, verbal and linear skills. Our 90% stronger subconscious mind is divided into two parts. The smaller part is the autonomic nervous system which controls digestion, breathing, eye blinking and pulse. We don’t have to think about these things, however we can override some of them like eye blinking and breathing.

The much larger part of the subconscious mind is the home of our habits, our moods, our memory banks, our behavior, our imagination, our creativity and our concept of who we are – our personality. The subconscious mind also houses our two problem solvers – our imagination and our creativity.

When we are confronted by a problem, a disappointment or uncertainty, the reflex action is to stress. But when one stresses, one is shut off from one’s only two problems solvers – imagination and creativity. When we panic or stress, the prefrontal cortex is playing an extremely diminished role, the imagination and creativity are effectively shut down. We are unable to solve problems or resolve issues. The normal reflex is to panic when we are overcome by circumstances and situations. And when we panic, we are in mental fibrillation. Our brain just keeps rehashing the problem instead of solving it!

When the heart is stressed and goes into fibrillation as on the television program House MD, defibrillation paddles are used to bring the heart back into an efficient and normal rhythm. But what if… instead of reflexing to stress, which drove the mind into mental fibrillation in the first place, one reflexed to calm? Hypnosis, which is a state of focused concentration, is similar to the defibrillation paddles used on hearts. It creates in our mind a relaxed, efficient and effective operating mode. One performs better in sports, public speaking and life when one is relaxed, not tense. Our mind just works better. When sensing that the load in life is too much, in hypnosis, you will be given a cue that will be your own personal defibrillator and keep you connected to your only two problem solvers – your imagination and your creativity.
