To really be successful at hypnosis and NLP, you really need to understand how your mind and body work and how they are connected. I personally believe everyone should know this information since it changes your perspective on reality, dreams, and life.
Everything you see, feel, hear, smell, and taste gets processed through your brain. Now you may have known that but really think about it. You experience life through your senses. Since all of your senses go into your brain, your whole existence is processed through your mind.
Ice doesn’t feel cold because its cold. It is cold because your brain tells you its cold. If you re-pattern your mind to say that ice is warm, ice will be warm [which is possible with neurohypnotic re-patterning].
There are three parts of the mind: conscience, subconscience, and unconscience. For hypnosis, you need to first need understand what roles each of these parts play.
We’ll start off with the unconscience. The unconscience regulates automatic body functions such as breathing, blinking, using the bathroom and swallowing. It also maintains the immune system. These functions happen on their own accord and are perpetual.
The conscience mind is in charge of short term memory, will power, analytical thinking, rationalization, and contains something called a critical factor. You call upon these processes when you need them. Examples of the conscience mind at work would be solving a problem, remember something that happened earlier this week, fulfilling a promise to yourself, and making sense of the things that happen around you. All the thinking you do is done through your conscience mind.
The subconscience is the most important part of our minds. It is responsible for permanent memory, emotions, habits, and defense. Think of this part of your mind as a super computer. Everything you have ever heard, said, done, felt, is stored in your subconscience. All immediate responses and emotions are generated through your subconscience. Everything that you do without thinking (that isn’t covered by the unconscience) is the work of the subconscience mind.
But, the subconscience is very lazy. Its hard to access and always takes the easy way out (which is why it is easy to develop bad habits as opposed to good ones).
In part 2, I’ll discuss the critical factor and hypnosis’s goal.
