How Does Hypnosis Work?

Hypnosis is the delivery and acceptance of a suggestion that causes a change in the internal patterns that govern behavior or belief while the emotive and controlling part of us is open and totally dominant.

The art of hypnosis is on display and in use constantly all around us and all the time. The shame is we do not know it and so don't use it fruitfully all of the time. Just imagine when consoling someone in a traumatic emotive state that your suggestions of
"time is a great healer" are accepted and as a result, that person suffers their grief for much longer than was needed. A properly formulated and delivered suggestion at this point such as,
"From tomorrow things will begin to be better" could have the effect of shortening the length of suffering.

It isn't a superhuman gift or anything magical - well not in the Merlin sense anyway. It may appear to be a miracle although it is not miraculous. It's the art of using what we do all the time and doing it deliberately and with intent.

So hypnosis works when a suggestion by-passes our conscious logic and becomes accepted by our mind as fact.

It is important to know that the mind does not reason, it just chooses, and acceptance of suggestion happens or it doesn't.

The brain is logical, it can tell the difference between outside reality and make-believe and construction, whereas the mind perceives reality entirely from the patterns it holds and has no idea of any difference between reality and fantasy.

If the idea of patterns is confusing, think of it like this. To remember something your mind creates a pattern of connections in your brain and body and for all we know in other places and dimensions as well. It is these patterns or models we access when we have to decide what to do about, or with, something happening in our lives.

Some of these are hard-wired instincts. Throw a brick at someone's head and providing you throw it from the front or shout "duck", they will move out of the way. [Don't try this at home].

We call these hard-wired patterns Instincts and there are not too many of them.

We know that if we put a cross-section of kids in a compound somewhere and gave them all the same input that we would come out with people with much the same belief and response systems, the same patterns.

We do put kids in these boxes and it's here where most lay hypnosis takes place. We call these boxes schools, churches and even societies.

That's hypnosis without the official label. With the official label, it's fair to say that hypnosis is direct communication with the dominant mind in such a way that such communication creates patterns that permanently alter behaviour and belief.

One thing is for sure, Hypnosis is one of the most fascinating and illuminating phenomena we can experience. Hypnosis without the overt evangelism of the motivationalist and the complex theorizing of the psychotherapist is a smart and fast way to simply get better, no matter what better means to you.

Not just for smoking and weight reduction, this remarkable and natural state of the human mind can be used to turn desire into reality and to increase the emotional enjoyment and experience of life. Using hitherto ignored or forgotten assets of the greatest creation we know of, ourselves, and to do so at the speed of thought.
