Better Concerts and Music

Oh, you magnificent Daily Mail Online readers, you’ve done it again! I never stop to be startled by the level of rage and smugness you show, or your enthusiasm to present opinions in areas upon which you noticeably have diminutive expertise.

Who are these people who become so incensed by another individual’s alleged lack of healthy lifestyle/fatness? Every health associated headline in the DM might as well read ‘how this individual’s laziness/greed is consuming YOUR well-deserved money in NHS tax funding. Let’s run them out of the nation with sticks!’.

This week’s distinct little wad of perception comes from Lizzie in London who, as a reaction to a feature of how hypnotherapy helped one lady go from a size 24 to a size 14, says:

‘The hard work in excercising [sic] and eating well is down to her own will power and sheer perseverance.

Hypnotherapy is not a magic bullet to slimming and weight loss. There’s still loads of work involved!’

First, Lizzie, please learn to spell, lest I chase your presumably slender yet mournfully untaught self out of the state (using sticks).

Secondly, as Mark Newey, certified hypnotherapist and catalyst for countless thriving weight loss undertakings shows, this thing we refer to as ‘willpower’ is really our conscious mind, which is a meager 9% of our total brain mass.

If we indulge in an individual behaviour for a long period of time, be it a positive pursuit (exercising, driving) or a negative one (smoking, overeating) it is embraced by the much larger unconscious brain as behavioural programming, thus liberating up the conscious to think about other things (like the scrummy bloke we happen to be dating and what occurred on Eastenders recently and why you never see a baby pigeon….ok perhaps that’s just me).

Have you ever read to the bottom of a page and realised you were not concentrating and can’t recall what it said? That’s your unconscious mind saying ‘aaaah, I know how to read. I’ve read things before! Let me take over this activity’. Your conscious mind ambles and before you know it you are punishing yourself for not paying attention and having to replicate the entire reading procedure.

Now, say you make a choice that you would like to alter an individual behavioural programme. What’s essentially transpiring is that 9% of your mind is taking on the force of 91%, attempting to affect change when the great and strong unconscious is forcing you to keep on acting as you have always done. And then we question why ‘diets’ don’t work in 90% of circumstances.

Hypnotherapy is merely a way of going around the conscious mind and getting into the unconscious to make permanent and fast changes. It can break established behavioural patterns and wipe the slate clean. Mark says to his weight loss clients ‘now I want you to go away and not give a damn about what you eat’. They stare at him in disbelief, not quite able to follow the idea that, after so many years of badly trying in vain to curb themselves, they can now eat absolutely everything they fancy.

The fundamental aspect, however, is that because their attitudes regarding food, their bodies and themselves have been malformed in the unconscious, they’ll easily make better selections, picking foods according to what will feed them, rather than those which will fulfill their emotional appetites.

Which leads me tidily onto my next statement. People don’t overeat because they are gluttonous, or languid or selfish or even because they have an insatiable appetite. Commonly, people overeat because it brings them an immediate (if very transitory) sensation of satisfaction. Comfort eating is merely another support, permitting us to feel that we are effectively coping with sensations of seclusion, stress or anxiety. Needless to say, all it really seems to do is distract us from those feelings (and add an growing waistline onto our lists of qualms).

Guess what other change can be promptly and permanently made in the unconscious? Yes, dear Blog fanatics, we are back onto my pet matter – removing feelings of low self confidence.

And that is why I’m especially sorry to have to testify that Lizzie in London is erroneous.

Learning how to remote view is a subject that is multifaceted. Remote viewing is the ability to view something somewhere that is not in your physical location while it is occurring. You can be a long distance away from the scene when you take a remote view.

The details of remote viewing may seem a bit controversial, since no one really knows why or how it works, exactly. However, there are scientific studies that prove that remote viewing works.

Remote viewing works so very well that many of the governments of the world have made good use of it in order to protect their countries objectives from spies. However, eventually these countries considered that the same practice of remote viewing, could be used on them as well and they discontinued its use. After declassifying the research documents, the idea became available to the public and remote viewing became trendy.

Learn To Remote View

Remote viewing relies upon your psychic abilities and like astral projection draws upon your mental energy to allow you to ‘be’ somewhere other than where your physical body happens to be.

When you are practicing remote viewing, you can view any area you wish. You might view places here on earth as well as any other planet in space. You may decide to go back in time or forward in time and you may want to see what is going on right now.

Everyone has the ability to remote view. However, there are some people have a special talent for natural remote viewing. For others, it will take some time, patience and additional effort to learn how to remote view. Practicing how to focus is essential training, for the conscious mind to reach the point of natural remote viewing, but you can do it.

Are you interested in having the experiences that will bring your reality into a new perspective? Learning how to remote view can be so beneficial to you and your life. You can train your mind to operate at a higher level with the vibrations of your thoughts when you learn how to remote view and then practice.

Developing Your Remote Viewing Talent

There are many methods and techniques you can use to learn remote viewing. First, you must learn to quiet your mind, and then focus your concentration keenly on any location, person or object that you are not in close location with or physically see.

Visualization techniques and meditation are both helpful to developing the mental capacities needed to remote view. You can consult with an expert or practice on your own with or without some helpful visualization and meditation aids.

Keeping a remote viewing journal is something which many find helpful as they learn to remote view. You can track your progress and take down notes on your findings as you practice this skill.

Before you go to sleep, ask yourself to find the answer to a specific question. Once you receive your answer, write it in your journal. To get the best results, you should practice at a time when you expect not to be disturbed.

Another good exercise which can be of assistance as you learn to remote view is to hold a picture face down so you cannot see it. Concentrate on viewing the image; this will take some practice, but will go a long way towards developing your remote viewing abilities and with time, you’ll be able to view the picture in your mind.

Keep in mind that this takes practice, so be patient and refer to your journal – this will help you identify what works for you and what does not. Build on your areas of strength and stick with your practice.

There are plenty of helpful resources which you can use to help you learn to remote view. It takes time to develop this skill – imagine, if you will learning to hear, taste or feel if you had lacked these senses before.

Your subconscious mind is easily the most powerful force on the planet and it shouldn’t be underestimated. Everything you do or say or think begins in your mind. When you can tap the power of your subconscious mind, that power can be manifested to your conscious mind.

Let’s given an example. When you first learn to do something � say changing the channel on the TV � you think about it, you fumble for the remote, and you go through your choices. After a while, you learn to channel hop without consciously thinking about it because your subconscious mind power has figured out where the remote is and knows what you want to watch.

What can trigger that subconscious reaction? Perhaps it was seeing the Smiling Bob commercial one time too often, and your subconscious mind decided that watching that show wasn’t worth sitting through the commercial, and you changed channels without realizing it. This is one example of why getting control of the power of your subconscious mind is important.

By harnessing the power of the subconscious mind you really can unleash you’re full potential. On the reverse of that, if you allow your own inner thoughts to keep repeating negative thoughts or images, then your subconscious will take hold of these and allow those to manifest instead.

Let’s take a look at the beneficial parts of the human mind and figure out how you can use the subconscious as something that will help you improve yourself. Some people think that they are looking at something unimaginably difficult, but this is far from the case. When you want to guide the subconscious mind, there is a series of simple processes that you can use to make it start to move the way that you want. You have unlimited potential to work with, so consider some of the options that you can take advantage of in this regard; there are lots of tools for you to look into.

The simplest way to unlock the potential of your unconscious mind is through affirmation. Affirmation can be as simple as saying ‘Yes We Can’. It’s just a reminder of the positive aspects around you and how to take advantage of them to get the desired result.

When you want to achieve a daunting goal that is looming in front of you, for example, you might find yourself overcome with a feeling of weariness and tiredness. This is something that is a natural stress response to something that you do not want to do. With the power of affirmation working behind you, though, you’ll find that you can actually beat this state of mind and look for a better way to approach the task at hand. This is something that can make a huge difference.

When you want to make sure that you are thinking positively, considered how great the rewards are going to be when you want to perform the task. You can also look in your mirror and tell yourself that you are the best person for this task and that the end result is going to be something simply stunning; this can make a huge difference to the work that you are doing.

When you want to do things like stop smoking or if you want to overeat, or quit drinking, affirmations can be enormously important. Constantly repeating your affirmations can help you tap into your subconscious mind and help you change your behavior; it doesn’t matter whether you are writing down your affirmations or speaking them.

There are also other methods that you can use when you want to tap into the potential of your subconscious mind. You can use post-hypnotic suggestion this way and though it can require the talents of a skilled hypnotherapist, you can also use a pre-recorded hypnosis audio tape for just this reason.

Another technique, which has come from Tibetan monasteries, is to use biowave or binaural beats to synchronize your brain waves. You listen through a set of headphones and both sounds are slightly off tone from each other; this induces both parts of your brain to synchronize, and puts you into a deep meditative trance with little effort.

Complete mastery of your subconscious mind’s power takes years of training, as shown by highly trained Buddhist monks. They are able to display amazing abilities through mastering and controlling their subconscious power so that it manifests through their conscious minds. Things like levitation or breaking solid objects without pain or injury.

Some claim that the power of the subconscious mind lets us manipulate matter on a subatomic level. The leading proponent of this is ‘The Secret’. Less spectacularly, using the secret and positive affirmations have helped lots of people improve their lives in countless ways.

More traditional sciences, such as quantum physics, are beginning to recognize the significance of the power many ancient civilizations accessed by understanding their own subconscious minds. The ability to alter and influence your own reality comes from tapping the power within yourself.

There is more power in your subconscious mind than you know. Consider what you need to learn when you are thinking about working with it, whether you want to open up new doors or just give up an unfortunate habit.
