Your critical conscious mind sits on the sidelines as the hypnotist’s guided instructions (hypnotic suggestions) influence your subconscious mind. You are not asleep, nor completely awake. Hypnosis might be called an in-between world between sleep and wakefulness. Among the benefits of capitalizing on the *power of your subconscious mind *are helping us to recover faster from surgery and to reduce stress related illnesses which are the cause or partial cause of 70-90% of physician visits. The power of the mind to heal is evident in using hypnosis in pain control, obesity, dentistry, asthma, oncology, obstetrics, smoking, weight control, and hundreds of other medical and psychological challenges. For example, a 1992 major research project by the U.S. Surgeon General indicated that hypnosis is the most successful method to overcome smoking. Since Covid started, there has been an explosion in the number of therapists and counsellors using hypnosis with their patients, because it works. “Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking, according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit. Willpower, it turns out, counts for very little.” (New Scientist, Vol 136 issue 1845 31 Oct, 92, page 6) With hypnosis, someone thinks and *feels like a true non-smoker*, not just someone who resists smoking. Their self-image has changed effortlessly to non-smokers. Hypnosis changes thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and behavior. Hypnotherapy helps in letting go of feelings such as fear, anger, guilt, worry, hurt, anxiety, and jealousy. Much wisdom lies within Proverbs 17:22: *“A* *joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.” *Research studies have found that the state of our health is greatly influenced by our positive or negative thoughts we run in our head. Hypnosis and meditation clear the mind and make it easier to let go of negative thoughts and emotions. Listening to your body, your symptoms and letting go of toxic relationships is important for mental and physical health. Subconscious programming can instill new optimism, anticipation of better days ahead, peace of mind, gratitude, happiness, and enjoyment of the present moment. Life becomes a whole new ballgame when you walk with your head held high, feeling victorious. *How about a Self-Confidence Boost?* *Cindy Crawford, American supermodel *said, “I want to wake up looking like Cindy Crawford”. Do not expect or try to be perfect. This is evident from Blooper Videos of our revered celebrities. No one is always perfect except in editing and photoshopping. Sometimes it is the editor who makes a movie great. Confidence does not come from fear. Confidence comes from jumping in, doing things, effort, learning new skills, and learning from mistakes. Write a *list* of everything you can do well. You have learned a lot since you were a young child. You could not even find your mouth with a spoon as that young child. What can you do that many others in the world cannot? Have you been practicing *negative* self-hypnosis conditioning? You know it works: “I can’t do this or that;” “He, or she will not like me;” “How can I be so stupid?” “I’ll never be able to lose weight, stop smoking, stop drinking”; “I can’t fall asleep.” Time to practice* positive* self-hypnosis conditioning. With positive self-hypnosis, you simply relax and focus your hypnotic concentration with purposeful daydreaming on what life events you want to happen. This success programming changes your mindset to create a self-fulfilling prophecy. When you or a hypnotist has programed your mind to think and act differently and automatically, others treat you differently. Consider how confident people think and act. How would they do what you want to do? It applies to performing in the Olympics, public speaking, the dating world, work, learning a new skill, all areas of life. This reminds me of Henry Ford who said, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right.” Now, this new mental programming may take effect rapidly, but you need to set aside time for mental training. Like all skills, the more you practice, the better you are doing it, and the faster it works. You can go through life with mental calm, energy. You can also learn how to turn around negative programming from other people. Using the power of your subconscious mind, you go beyond conscious mind affirmations and positive thinking. Others will be impressed by your new feelings of programmed *calm self-confidence*. You can master self-hypnosis mind power for positivity and mental discipline.
