Effective Hypnosis 4 Subconscious Rules To Note
The brain is essentially split into two parts: the conscious and subconscious minds
. It is estimated that the subconscious mind accounts for between 80 to 95% of your brainpower. At its core the subconscious mind reacts in a similar manner to that of a very young child.
In considering how to work with the the subconscious mind there are four major rules that it follows.
Rule 1 It does exactly as the conscious mind dictates
Essentially, this would be a positive attribute if the conscious mind actually made good well-informed decisions. However, the conscious mind is actually a creature of habit and so often makes decisions out of routine rather than the best decisions possible.
Hence, if you do want to make progress in a specific area, if your conscious mind is choosing to fight or resist change then the subconscious will not change.
Rule 2 It does not recognise the concept of negative
The subconscious mind will not respond to words; it actually responds to pictures and emotions (strong ones preferably) So, wherever you choose to place your focus, thoughts and emotions, your sub conscious will respond.
We can see this with some people who have a desire to change, and then rather than thinking about what they do want, often focus instead on what they don't want! Rather than focusing on being slim and healthy they state, I dont want to be fat Rather than focusing on being healthy, they focus on not being sick.
The crucial point here is one of focus. Since the focus is on the negative rather than the positive, they can end up attracting into their lives more of that which they do not want!
Rule 3 It simply does not have a sense of humour
This can be illustrated by some of the idioms or humorous phrases that we use on a daily basis. Now try to imagine using these in communicating with a four-year-old child. What is the likelihood that the child would understand exactly what you mean.
The main point to be reiterated here is that the sub conscious mind takes everything that the conscious mind states literally. Your subconscious mind is primed to take any statement made by the conscious mind with an attitude of make it so
Rule 4 It cannot understand sarcasm
Again, the four-year-old child in our example will not understand sarcastic speech. In fact speech is really much more effective if you can avoid sarcasm. It is much more effective to phrase your communication in clear concise focussed statements.
Sarcasm is at its most basic a humorous way of saying something negative or insulting. To achieve positive change we need to give the non-conscious mind positive, clear instructions.
The skill in using hypnosis effectively is to put the conscious part of the mind to one side, so that we can directly communicate with the unconscious part of the mind.
When we do so, because we are speaking to the part of the mind that is in control and makes the decisions, we can encourage it to get rid of all our bad habits.
This is an intriguing and fascinating area that has only been touched on in this overview. Do read more in order to gain a greater understanding of the subject and how to make the best use of the conscious and non-conscious mind.
