Love Hypnosis

Just like meditation, hypnosis is a natural state of focused concentration and relaxation. It is a way of relaxing by setting aside the conscious mind (ego), while at the same time activating the subconscious mind. Suggestions can then be made directly to the subconscious, enabling the individual to act on these suggestions with greater ease and efficiency. The state of hypnosis is akin to daydreaming. During hypnosis, your brain reaches theta levels of consciousness.

Hypnosis is a lot like guided meditation, except that it requires very skilled use of advanced communication patterns and psychological principles. Due to this, hypnosis is able to bring about behavioral changes much faster than guided meditation and affirmations alone. However, you must have the desire for change in the first place. For instance, hypnosis cannot make you quake like a duck against your will. Here are some popular myths about hypnosis.

Laws of Hypnosis

Emile Coue made many contributions to the field of hypnosis. The most important were the three laws he formulated.

An idea tends to realize itself when we focus our attention on it.

Feeling hungry after viewing a fast food commercial or becoming sexually stimulated following a heated love scene in a movie are but two examples of this principle.

The harder you try to accomplish something, the more difficult it is to obtain.

For example, the more concentrated effort a smoker makes at trying to stop smoking, the greater their desire for a cigarette.

Any battle between will power and imagination will be won by the latter. Try not thinking of a pink elephant! However, when both will power and imagination work together, the results are multiplied by each other, not merely the sum of the two.

When you accompany a suggestion with a strong emotion, the strength of the suggestion is enhanced. Any previous suggestion will now be replaced by this suggestion-emotion combination.

For instance, let us say you have a favorite restaurant where you go every Friday evening. The pleasure and enjoyment from the food and atmosphere become a dominant suggestion. Suppose one Friday evening a new group of "regulars" begin frequenting this same restaurant. These people dislike you and make fun of your appearance and behavior. Now fear and anxiety replace your previous mindset, most likely resulting in your avoiding the restaurant.
