How Does Hypnosis Work?
The subconscious mind is awesomely powerful. This incredible power can be used to your advantage, or it can work against you depending on how it's been programmed. What people don't realise is that everyone’s mind is working perfectly well. When problems in life occur it’s because the information in the mind is wrong and not that the mind isn’t working properly.
The subconscious mind is a type of computer; an organic computer. It’s that part of the mind that has a permanent memory as it’s impossible to forget at the sub-conscious level. The sub-conscious mind holds the sum total of every experience, idea and thought we have ever had. We are the sum total of all of our thoughts, ideas, perceptions and impressions ever experienced in our existence.
As powerful as the sub-conscious mind is, it is totally incapable of judgement. If for any reason a suggestion gets into the sub-conscious mind, the sub-conscious does not waste any time analysing it. It gets straight to work, using all of its strength and might to bring this new suggestion into reality. Just like any other computer, once the software has been programmed, the computer goes straight ahead does what it's programmed to do.
It stands to reason that if things aren't going well for an individual, it's simply a matter of re-programming that individual's sub-conscious computer with the right ideas and concepts. This is true, except that the conscious mind has a special filter that prevents uncomfortable information from entering the sub-conscious mind. This filter called the “critical factor” is like an anti-virus programme on a computer. It won't allow anything that it's uncomfortable with to get through to the sub-conscious mind, and as this part of the mind has already been programmed, it will only let more of the same type of “comfortable” information through!
This critical factor performs an important function. If it wasn't there, the subconscious would be open to all suggestions, good or bad. Problems occur when the critical faculty allows the wrong information through to the sub-conscious mind due to inexperience. This wrong information is now programmed into the sub-conscious mind and can be destructive (smoking for example).
To reverse this condition all the individual needs to do is simply re-programme their sub-conscious mind with the correct information which is no longer possible because the critical factor now rejects these ideas as uncomfortable. The only way to get the new positive information into the sub-conscious mind is to first bypass the critical factor.
This is exactly what hypnosis is. Hypnosis is the process of bypassing the critical factor of the conscious mind, and the establishment of acceptable information. Very simply, and effectively, hypnosis overcomes the filtering effect of the critical faculty, and constructive information flows into the sub-conscious mind which applies all of its might to making the new information a reality.
The sub-conscious mind is the protective mind, and has a perfect record of your life which keeps you safe from accepting the wrong information. People that don't want to be hypnotised won't be. People in hypnosis won't accept any suggestions they don't want to. People in hypnosis won't offer up any information they don't want to. In hypnosis you are always in control. Hypnosis is safe, easy and effective.
