Neuroscientists are of the opinion that we are conscious of only about 5 percent of our cognitive activity. Most of our emotions, decisions, actions, and behaviour depend on the 95 percent of brain activity that goes beyond our conscious awareness. About 40 percent of behaviour is habitual, and it takes anywhere between 15 to over 250 days to form a new habit.
Subconscious mind – the bigger player
About 90 percent of your total brain function is through the unintentional aspect of your mind, or the Subconscious mind. It is a vast collection of unintentional, habitual thoughts, behaviours, and actions. Actually, we can infer that the phrase that best describes the Subconscious mind is “No Choice”.
Around the year 2000, researchers learned that most of the decisions (up to 90%) we make are unconscious.
Processing by Conscious versus Subconscious mind
The conscious mind can only process 40 bits of info/sec, whereas the subconscious mind can process 20 000 000 bits of info per second. This means the subconscious mind can process 500 000 time more what the conscious mind is able to, which makes it bigger and far more powerful than the conscious mind.
The subconscious mind can change beliefs suddenly and irrevocably, but more importantly, it can hold onto wrong beliefs even when the evidence for change is present right in front of you. It is the powerful background system that runs everything in your life.
Our data bank
The subconscious mind is a data-bank for everything that is not in your conscious mind. Whatever you have seen, done or thought is right there. It stores all your memories, beliefs, previous experiences, and skills. May be we can equate habits with unconscious behaviour and non-habits with conscious behaviour. This brings us to the question:
Can you control your subconscious?
The Universe has given humans an absolute control over the information that enters the subconscious mind, through the five senses. Sadly, in the majority of cases the average person does not exercise this control. There are ways to hack your subconscious mind and unlock your magnificent life.
We can achieve this through visualization, positive affirmations, positive reinforcement, meditation, and by keeping a gratitude journal.
It takes an average of 66 days to reprogram the subconscious mind with intentional effort. However, depending on your limiting beliefs, it can take up to a year or more to see result.
Here comes Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a purely natural state that allows direct access to the subconscious mind. It is an artificially enhanced state of suggestibility, resembling sleep. Nevertheless, it is not sleep. With hypnosis we can by-pass what would require a prolonged or circuitous re-learning program in our fully conscious state. There is no physical intrusion; it is simply a self-contrived change of mental awareness.
It is an altered state of consciousness, one in which the individual clearly feels a qualitative shift in her/his pattern of mental functioning. The hypnosis state is identical to the state of full consciousness with 3 exceptions:
1. Concentration will be focused completely (without the normal distractions of the reasoning, waking conscious mode);
2. Every muscle will be relaxed;
3. There is an increase in the acuity of the senses – hearing, touch and smell.
A safe process
Hypnosis is a purely natural state and a sudden withdrawal of the hypnotist will not abandon the subject to an unending trance. And more importantly, the client has the control and the hypnotist is not able to perform anything against the subject’s will.
Hypnotherapy sesssions can be done in person or through video call. Both are equally effective.
It is a very relaxing, energizing, delightful and empowering experience, as you can hear from these feedbacks after Impromptu hypnosis: CLICK HERE
