"Hypnotic Beauty"
Pathways to different dimensions.
The External illusions, are mere reflections
of our corresponding internal domain, that we call real.
Going Deeper
Energy moves in a spiraling motion that forma a hierarchy -
different levels as the evolutionary flow of the same thing.
What is TRANCE?
Trance is a
natural shift in our awareness, which we experience naturally in various
ways in our normal waking hours each and everyday. We experience natural trance
states during the following activities:
Daydreaming:
Re-living a memory of what you did while on your vacation - imagining what kind
of things you will do on your vacation.
Fantasizing:
Imagining yourself doing the things you always wanted to - creating an
experience of it in your mind "as if" you are actually doing it.
Reflection:
Going over in your mind a conversation you had with someone yesterday.
Going Within:
Meditating. being in Nature or alone with your thoughts.
Focused Awareness
(Contemplating, Concentrating): Engrossed in a project - in the flow of
experience - such as art, music or sports. An activity where you lose track of
time and self-awareness.
Watching
television or a Movie: becoming emotionally involved in what you are
watching, as if you were there having the experience. Associating to an
experience and having an emotional response. Tuning out your physical
environment.
Reading:
getting "into" the story or subject in depth, becoming more identified with what
you
are reading than what is occurring in your present physical
environment.
Any time you are not
present - either thinking about the past or trying to anticipate and predict the
future.
Dimensions spinning in cycles- mere
possibility on the plane of probabilities
"Reflection of Reality"
Reality is like illusions residing within
probability.
Is it Real?
Or is it an illusion?
Are illusions real and reality an illusion?
"Book of Life"
Akashic Records
Somewhere deep in the psyche is an energetic
recording of every experience we've ever had, every emotion ever felt, every
vibration that forms a continuous file of the soul imprinting.
"Hypnotize"
Cycles - Continuous patterns that are
comprised of lives in time- whole and evolving and continuous.
Past Lives
Perhaps the most fundamental error we make in
perceiving the idea of "Past Lives" or reincarnation, is that we fail to
recognize that the soul, unseen and non-material; is comprised of primordial
energy, energy never ceases but merely trans-forms. Spirit never dies but exist
outside of time, therefore it is not governed by, or operates within the
principles of time. Time is meaningless and does not exist in the spiritual
realm.
Energy forms patterns - vibratory repetitions -
naturally structuring itself in clusters of patterns that interact and run in
currents.
There is really no such thing as a "past" life,
as life, the imprinted energetic vibration referred to as our soul, is
continuous and simply inhabits various forms as it exist in eternity and comes
into various forms of expression.
The same mind- or "quality" of energy,
imprinted with a kind of vibrational DNA - continues after trans-forming,
bringing like qualities and attributes - energetic patterns- to the new
transmuted
form, for continuation of life themes. We call this Karma.
Until we bring the "theme"
into awareness, and begin working with this consciously, it simply repeats the
same pattern using the current life conditions.
I use Hypnosis as
a developmental and empowerment tool to help program the mind and communicate
directly with the unconscious. I do not perform therapy. The best way to learn
and naturally produce permanent change is by
working with both the conscious and unconscious mind.
Intuitive Interpretation of Symbolic Imagery
What is Hypnosis?
Most people have derived their impression of Hypnosis
from stage shows or Hollywood depictions. It is often presented as a
mysterious practice, even Voodoo . . . . yet it is the most familiar state we know as human
Beings, as we are in a constant state of Hypnosis or "trance" anytime we are
not present. While experts do not agree on the definition, the term
"hypnosis" is derived from the Greek word for sleep, yet even though the
hypnotized person may resemble someone who is asleep, the hypnotized person
is fully awake and actually experiences a heightened awareness during the process.
Here are some various interpretations that will
help give you a clear idea about What Hypnotism is:
"Hypnosis is an induced mental state that
consists of bypasses of the critical mind and establishes selective
thinking." Elman
"Hypnotism is the art and science of mentally controlling thoughts and
actions." Cook
"Hypnosis is a reverie state of Mind. It is much like daydreaming."
-Dunne
"Hypnosis is a heightened state of awareness
where you accept suggestion from without and within." -Stockwell
"When the Mind is under control, the mind
becomes like a pure crystal reflecting equally, without distortion, the
perception, the perceiver, and the perceived. It is through such a mind that
consciousness is known." - Patanjali
"Hypnosis is largely a question of
willingness to be receptive to beneficial ideas and allow these ideas to be
acted upon without interference." -Witzenhoffer & Hilgard
"Hypnosis is a state of intensified attention and receptiveness to an
idea or set of ideas." - Erickson
"Hypnosis is an aspect of conditioning" -Salter
THE CHARACTERISTICS OF HYPNOSIS:
Hypnosis is one of the most natural states of
mind we experience. Hypnotic trances happen to everyone, everyday
naturally, just before you drift off to sleep, wake first thing in the
morning, when your bored, and your mind begins wandering thinking about the past
or the future, when you daydream, drive
in your car, watch TV, or are enthralled or excited.
We could
consider Hypnosis to be:
A relaxed,
Hyper-suggestible State: Where you would experience deep physical and
mental relaxation, becoming "present" and more open to suggestions.
A State of Focused
(Absorbed) Selective Attention: Focusing your attention
narrowly, on a specific subject, event, or situation, form a vivid
perception of it as though it were real, and excluding
all else from your awareness. You could think of it as developing your
powers of concentration.
A Natural Altered
State of Consciousness: A state that is different than their
normal state (when the conscious mind is dominant), Where the conscious is
still present and perhaps observing, yet the unconscious mind is dominant
factor and we become aware of it's experiences. This is attained through a
very natural process, because it is a normal function of the mind, it is simply a
shift in perceptual positions.
A temporary
Dissociation:You experience a temporary suspension of
logical information processing; often completely aware of your surroundings,
whether forward or backward in time mentally and emotionally. Gaining
insight into the experience from a non-personal perspective.
Guided Imagination:You are guided by your self or another person (hypnotist) by engaging the
creative imagination to create a selected "experience" and then establishing
it as a believable reality.
Hypnosis uses
Trance-like states and works with the unconscious mind.
Hyper-Acuity of the Senses:
Hypnosis focuses the field
of attention for perfect concentration. In this state sensory perception is
more acute, distinct and active. Logical Powers of the mind are heightened. A narrow
field of attention and stimuli is determined by suggestions given. Smell and
Taste are easily enhanced with hypnosis. Eyesight is reportedly improved.
Hyper-Acuity of Memory:
The state of hypnosis allows us to
access all "stored"
memory. It is possible to revive and recollect circumstances and impressions
from long ago that have been lost to the conscious mind. Every sensation
ever experienced, everything ever learned, can be recalled with hypnotic
suggestion. Likewise, you can also suggest that something be forgotten.
Fixation of Attention:
Hypnosis limits the field of
attention until a concentrated and unvarying field results. How narrow the
range of focus is strongly influenced by suggestion given. It utilizes the
mind's natural ability to concentrate fully on a very specific point without
distraction or a tendency to wander.
Reflexes and Nerve Responses are Easily
Influenced:
Pulse rate may be altered, areas
anesthetized, blood flow and bodily sensations regulated, childbirth time
can be determined
and automatic bodily functions controlled. You can stimulate a curative
effect or produce a pathological one. A burn can go away or you can suggest
a burn and redness of the skin will appear. You can change your body temperature,
or the temperature in one specific area of the body.
Less Autonomy as perceptions become Controlled
by Outside Suggestion:
Usually someone in hypnosis
complies with suggestions, as long as those suggestions are congruent or
fall within their natural responses and behaviors; if those suggestions go
against their morals, core beliefs or they perceive it as unpleasant or
painful; they will refuse to act on the suggestion or
terminate the trance.
Another Reality:
A hypnotized person earnestly and
sincerely believes the specific suggestions they receive. They actually
believe they are proud, happy, humble, sad, can sing, laugh, cry, dance or
are relaxing in a forest glade. All sensations of the past, no matter how
subtle, may be called forth to enhance hypnotic hallucinations. A hypnotized
person can eat an onion and believe and literally experience it as a peach.
They can drink water and experience it as nectar of the gods.
Susceptibility to Post Hypnotic Responses:
Suggestions given in trance are
performed after the client awakens. Often the client doesn't even remember
the original suggestion. Hypnosis is so effective because all changes or
altered perceptions fall out of awareness, and are subtle in nature. Just as
toothache, not longer aching, is simply forgot about, or no longer noticed.
Many "changes" in hypnosis are not noticed for days, or perhaps weeks, when
it suddenly dawns on you, that you haven't done something in a while, or
haven't thought about it at all. It's not uncommon for someone to
consciously think that hypnosis hasn't work for them, and suddenly realize
that it actually has, their just not aware of it.
YOU ARE CONSTANTLY HYPNOTIZING
YOURSELF -
Every suggestion your internal
dialogue and "critical voice" gives you, are instructions for what you
notice, how you perceive,
how you feel, what meaning you give things and how you respond as a
result. You are constantly instructing your mind by giving it suggestions. Your
internal Dialogue and beliefs are completely shaping your experience in
every moment. You create a matching external experience to your internal -
inner experience. Hypnosis is mastering creating the internal experience to
produce the external experience of a "Like" nature. All creation begins with
Imagination. To Master your life, master first the incredible power of your
own mind todream realities into existence. Hypnosis helps you to construct
an imaginary example of what you desire as a way of instructing your
unconscious mind to produce it - automatically and without effort.
This is a difficult concept for a lot of
people, because we are taught over and over (hypnotized to believe) that you
have to set a goal on the outside and work hard to discipline your mind and
behaviors to achieve it. In reality - true manifestation works in exactly
the opposite manner. You engage yourimagination - form a vivid reality
using all your senses to create an "experience of it as real" - which makes
it believable ( anything we can experience we automatically believe to be
possible) - this reality is projected out, into the external environment and
used as a template to produce it - replicates the internal image out of
which it emerges.
Instead of feeling at the mercy of your
identity, life situation, circumstances or conditions - with Hypnosis you
can take control of your own mind to produce your desired state - to produce
your dreams. Think about the term"DREAMS" - why do you think we call it
that? It's giving us a clue - to achieve your dreams you must master the
ability to dream them!
All Invention and creation - began as an
image
in the mind of it's creator. Master your imagination and you will master
your ability to create life at will. Master your internal domain and you
will "BE" the master of your own life. This is Self-Empowerment in it's true
essence.

take into consideration that whenever our mind becomes involved in a particular
problem or issue, hypnosis can be used as a tool to facilitate desired outcomes.
