Turn Your Dreams Into Reality: Learn
Hypnotherapy and NLP
by Rainya Dann, Director of The Institute for Transpersonal Studies
You have the power to start
manifesting your dreams today! How do you envision your future? Do
you intend to attract the right partner, achieve a great career, ease
pain, let go of a habit, overcome a phobia, reach a fitness goal or
accomplish better communications in your personal or professional
circles? You can begin to achieve any of your dreams by learning
some simple hypnosis and neurolinguistic programming (NLP) techniques
that will immediately begin to influence your subconscious mind and
body. Hypnotherapists, psychologists, nurses, massage practitioners,
sports trainers, life coaches and others commonly utilize simple
hypnotherapy and NLP techniques to help their clients. You can also
do simple exercises yourself to create the life you dream about.
Hypnosis has been associated
with the strange and mysterious. Actually, you are in a hypnotic
state when you go to sleep or miss a freeway exit because you went
into "autopilot." Hypnosis is simply a deeply relaxed
state that provides access to your subconscious mind. Even when you
are not in a hypnotic state, per se, everything you think about
programs your subconscious mind in positive or negative ways. For
example, when you say, "I'm so stupid" or "I'll never
be able to do this" or "this hurts so much" you are
reinforcing negative patterns in your mind and responses in your
body. You can positively affect your future by understanding and
using this process to create a life that you love. By utilizing some
simple relaxation and visualization techniques you can implant new
thought patterns into your subconscious mind.
Manifest Positive Change
with this 6-Step Exercise:
1. Say to yourself, "I
intend to create this goal" rather than "I want this."
Mentally, it puts you in the driver's seat.
2. Say what you intend to
make happen in a positive way rather than saying what you don't want.
The subconscious doesn't understand double negatives. For example, if
you say, "I will not eat cookies" your brain imprints "eat
cookies."
3. Decide on a specific goal
with a completion date. Imagine where, how and who is involved.
4. Ask yourself "what
will achieving this goal do for my life?" This allows you to
consider the larger intention beyond the goal. Then ask "what
does the larger intention give me."
5. Visualize yourself in the
future as a "new person" who has achieved the goal. Notice
how you move, stand, breath, and interact. Listen to the supportive
inner dialogue that the "new you" has. Imagine yourself
stepping into that "new you" and becoming that person.
Close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine the "new you"
fully enjoying the life they love.
6. Look back at the steps
that the "new you" took to create that new life.
Acknowledge the steps it takes to accomplish that change. Now come
back to the present moment. Decide what your next concrete action
will be toward living your new life - and do it with renewed
confidence!
