Everything that is seen, read or heard is contained in the subconscious memory, and Hypnosis may be used to access this information.
Hypnosis is based on the analogy that the mind is similar to an information storage warehouse, or library. The front office of the library processes information, which is then sent to the storage library. The front office represents conscious thinking, and the storage library represents subconscious memory. Between conscious thinking and subconscious memory is the Librarian, whose role is to decide which information enters the library of stored information. In fact, nothing can get through to the library unless it's consistent with deeply held beliefs already stored away. The Librarian is called critical thinking, and its job is to compare new information with stored information. If critical thinking were not present, a person would believe anything that anyone said. For instance, if someone says that the moon is made of green cheese, critical thinking compares the statement with all of the information already known. The Librarian recognizes the information as nonsense, placing it aside, and not letting it in. Ironically, some mistaken beliefs and judgments also make their way into the subconscious.
Hypnosis is like a guided daydream. The client does the dreaming while under the guidance of the Hypnotist. The mental place between conscious awareness and sleep is called somnambulism, which is very similar to daydreaming. The Librarian at the door may step aside so that the Hypnotist can guide a person back into the library of information. Even in adulthood, a person may be guided to see how their world was once viewed, and how ideas were developed in their initial stages of creation. The Hypnotist may guide a person to relive the past while simultaneously viewing it from the perspective of adulthood.
One of the greatest rewards of Hypnotism is in witnessing someone's self esteem improve to the point that their whole world turns around. In many cases the cause may not be obvious. Through Hypnotism, healing takes place on many levels. It's all about the healing of mind, body and spirit. |
