Brainwave Entrainment with Binaural Beats

2008-10-07T16:09:00.002-05:00

Teach Your Brain - Binaural Beat Brain Entrainment
The modern way to enter a changed mental state.

Meditation has been a popular way to quiet the mind and relieve the everyday stresses of life in our modern world.

A few people take to meditation easily but most students need weeks or months of practice. And then they are still not sure if they’ve doing it right. A lot of people feel their thoughts run on like a tape without a turn off switch, their daily tension creating destruction in their body systems.

But now those seeking peace of mind or even peak meditation experiences can easily and quickly reach the brain states they desire using brain entrainment.

The human brain produces waves or patterns of electrical activity. Different brain wave patterns indicate which mental state you are experiencing - Beta waves during physical activities; Alpha waves occur during a regular relaxed state; Theta waves with deep relaxation and Delta with deep sleep.

When external stimulus is applied to the brain, it becomes possible to entrain the brain frequency from one state to another.

If the left ear hears a steady tone of 500Hz and the right ear a steady tone of 510Hz, these two tones combine in the brain. The difference, 10Hz, is perceived by the brain and is a very effective stimulus for brainwave entrainment.

This 10Hz is formed entirely by the brain. When using stereo headphones, the left and right sounds do not mix together until in your brain. The frequency difference, when perceived by brain this way, is called a binaural beat.

When a certain brainwave state is experienced and practiced over a period of time, the brain will learn the state desired and it will become easier to self-produce the desired brainwave state at will without using the actual entrainment pulses.

Brainwave stimulation increases cerebral blood flow, the production of neurotransmitters and the growth of dendrites.

Increase learning abilitiesThe Theta stage and Alpha frequencies are useful for learning purposes. When using language or subliminal tapes, add Alpha entrainment sessionfor a maximum effect.

Reduce sleep requirements Some people have found that half an hour a day of the Theta stage can replace up to 4 hours of sleep.

Relief of depression, low self-esteem, attention deficit disorder, drug and alcohol addiction and autism have responded to Brainwave entrainment also alleviating headaches and migraines.
Binaural beats and tones pulses are undeniably an easy, enjoyable and popular method of managing your brain wave patterns.

Add brainwave entrainment to internet radio programs and your playlist music with Mind Stereo.

Mind Stereo embeds brainwave entraining frequencies into the sound files in your playlist or internet radio stations. Instead of just masking tones like most companies, Mind Stereo actually alters the audio to form neural patterns, using the existing sound as the "carrier wave". The entraining modulations may be barely noticeable to the listener while, subconsciously, dramatically altering their brainwave patterns.

Mind Stereo supports the embedding of Monaural Beats and the very powerful sochronic Tone method.

These methods are far more effective from a neurological perspective.
The Pitch Modulation Panning feature can actually create binaural beats in any song added to your playlist, using the song as the carrier.

Also, the option to generate binaural beats or tones is available if you choose to use it, and a number of binaural beat sessions are included.

Do not use while driving or operating machinery. Do not use if you are undergoing psychiatric treatment or have epilepsy.

Remote Influencing, Manifestation through Delta Brain Waves

2008-06-08T08:57:00.002-05:00

The "Secret"?

The Simple Powerful Secret Is Already Within You

The Real Secret is Connecting to It

How to achieve what may seem to you to be supernatural feats?

Quite simple.

The "secret" behind "The Secret" of manifesting reality, thought-to-thought, co-incidences and synchronicities your ability to apply the law of magnetically charging and attracting reality which is the final unifying frontier of mind & matter you carry live within you from birth.

Humans can all connect to the Gigantic Mind unifying all of us across time/space and far beyond, and that we ALL do so every night as we quiet our individual linear thinking minds and enter the mind area of unconscious sleep.

All minds are connected to a Gigantic Cosmic Mind called by psychoanalysts and psychologists the collective unconscious.

Our goal is to bring it to conscious awareness. This Cosmic Mind goes well beyond the level of the collective unconscious of man as it operates also the natural and biological world and much more. It is Infinite Intelligence Itself. It is non-linear in nature, but allows for linear processes to operate within Its Infinite Self.

In the sleep state ALL human beings rest as their brain centered linear-thinking-mind lowers its electrical activity to below 4 cycles per second.

The brain is then only vibrating at a low hum and stops filtering in awareness the Higher Mind and overlaying it with our own thoughts. At that level of quiet and barely active linear mind we are entering the Universal Mind and lose our individual consciousness as we go into unconscious sleep.

Position one's mind at the border of sleep in a very deep Theta brain wave state, at that level of reduced brainwave activity the 'conscious' human mind can access information originating from the Cosmic Collective Unconscious Mind.

It is by quieting the intellectual mind chatter of linear electrical brain that allows for the Infinite Intelligence within to reveal Itself.

Each human being experiences the Theta level for a fleeting moment every night before the mind dips down from the awake state of Beta level of awareness, to the Delta state (brain waves of less than 4 cycles per second: deep sleep), and passes rapidly through the Alpha and Theta states to enter the profound sleep level, where consciousness of self is totally lost, and where even dreams do not occur. (When dreaming, a sense of self is necessary and the mind has to go back up to the Theta or Alpha state.)

Delta is the level of the mysterious universal mind. This is the level of the One.

Time and space exist only within the Universal Mind. The Universal Mind is not separated from us, and we are not separated from It. Since everything interconnects through thought, thought is the only reality that can bridge space and time.

The universal mind creates us constantly.

When operating at the level of Delta ( sleep, surgical unconsciousness, and certain pathological conditions such as epileptic petit mal), the mind changes awareness and from being perceptually differentiated and having a sense of self, of I (ego), which it then forgets, and expands to become interconnected to everywhen and everything.

At that point the prior conscious awareness is lost (unconsciousness), and is only regained when the mind once again experiences the previous levels at which separateness is possible: Theta, Alpha and Beta.

Eventually, with specialized training, when concentration has remained at deep Theta for long enough, one seems to span all the levels of the mind and integrate them in a single cognitive awareness.

You can then operate from the Theta level in concentration and even open your eyes and be aware of both external and internal realities at once.

With practice, one might make a last perceptual jump and realized that your external and internal realities are but mirror expressions of each other.

Physical and Mental Benefits of Meditation

2007-10-20T08:27:00.001-05:00

For more on Mind & Meditation go to Hypnosis Improve Live

1. Increased Concentration Ability

Increased power of concentration is an ability you will benefit from in every day life. Learn to reduce the distractive nature of the mind, to focus completely on a task of your choice and to give it all your energy.

2. Intellectual and Emotional Balance

In addition to increasing your power of concentration Meditation will help you to develop a state of intellectual balance and emotional balance. Peace of mind.

Your increased power of concentration will help develop a calm mind and to maintain it under difficult circumstances. Outside influences will not throw you of balance so easily and when there are life disturbances, you will be able to get back into balance faster.

With stronger concentration you will be able to control your emotions without suppressing them.

3. Knowledge and Access to Your Unconscious

Become free of the destructive power of unconscious patterns learned from events in your past.
The more you understand the unconscious mind; you will realize why you repeat certain self destructive behaviors. You will no longer automatically react with the unconscious destructive power of old patterns.

Our minds are similar to computer programs. Some of us are running programs set during childhood or traumatic events we experienced. A lot of these past programs are no longer necessary and are no longer helpful.

Meditation will give you access to the reactive patterns which you have not been aware of before. With meditation you learn to set the life goals you desire and less often will you react with past unconscious patterns.

Over time you will become totally free of these hidden dominating influences on your life and you will no longer be ruled by patterns.

4. Improved Intuitive Knowledge

We all have intuition.

With intuition you tap into “cosmic consciousness”, the all – knowing!

When you followed intuition that was not right, the mistake is not that cosmic consciousness gave you a wrong answer. The mistake was that you were not in touch with cosmic consciousness. Learn the difference between ego and intuition.

Meditation is one of the best practices for accessing true Intuition which is a tool you can train and learn to use.

Improved intuition will assist you in many kinds of situations, in business, in relationships, with your health and many other ways.

In our materialistic world, most of us have come to learn early on, that intuition should not be trusted, because it is often beyond logic and can not be measured.

Meditation will help you to improve your intuition tremendously and learn to trust it!

5. Improved Health and Well-Being

Meditation works particularly well for all stress related conditions. Medical research has already demonstrated the following long term benefits of meditation.

Effects on the body:

• Reduction of pain, even with chronic problems such as cancer, heart problems or AIDS
• Improved vision (eyesight)
• Improved hearing
• Strengthening of the immune system

Effects on the mind:

• Improvement of memory powers and intelligence
• Increased concentration and attention (awareness)

Effects on psychological aspects:

• An increased feeling of identity and stronger self reliance
• Stronger sense of self through positive experiences about oneself
• Increased empathy, leading to increased openness in dealing with other people
• Increased contentment and appreciation of people and good things in life
• Improved creativity through increased intuition and inspiration
• Reduction of fear
• Reductions from addictions and other bad habits
• Improvements in dealing with
• depression
• hyperactivity
• ADD (attention deficit disorder)
• PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder)

Hypnosis requires your commitment, your desire to be successful.

It has nothing to do with the hypnotherapist taking control and it is also a myth that intelligent people can't be hypnotized.

A hypnotic state builds on your focus, intelligence and creativity.

Anyone who desires hypnosis, who can focus can achieve a relaxed state.

A hypnotist doesn't hypnotize anybody. The hypnotist is an educator, showing the participant how to do it themselves.

Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that we all use regularly. For instance, when we're daydreaming or every night falling into sleep and again upon awakening.

The hypnotist's role is to guide the participant from Beta brainwaves into the slower brainwave patterns.

BETA WAVES - 14Hz to 20Hz. Normal waking consciousness. You are in a Beta pattern when you are focused on your daily activities in the outside world.

ALPHA WAVES - 8Hz to 13Hz. Light meditation. Alpha pattern is prevalent when you daydream. Many people switch between Alpha and Beta during the day when they change their thoughts between focused and recalling or remembering something. Alpha Waves may be achieved just by closing your eyes.

THETA WAVES - 4Hz to 7Hz. Deep meditative states and states of intuitive creativity.

DELTA WAVES - .5Hz to 3Hz. Deep meditation or deep sleep state.

Learn to Control your Brainwaves

How slow you need the brainwave patterns to be depends on what you desire the hypnosis session to achieve.

For therapeutic work, a lighter state is required so you can respond to questions asked by the hypnotherapist. For surgery, a deep state is desired.

Hypnosis is a Natural State

2007-03-19T11:50:00.000-05:00

Hypnosis, also meditation and visualization, are processes that reach a creative area of your sub-conscious mind where memories and habits are stored.

Hypnosis is a state of focused heightened awareness not of sleep or unconsciousness.

It is a changing fluid state. You might hear a sound you want to check out, come up out of a relaxed alpha brain wave pattern, see what caused the noise and decide whether to drop back into relaxation or not. You are totally in control.

Everyone has experienced light trace state naturally every day when they pass into and out of sleep.

Trance state also occurs when you’re so engrossed in a movie or book that your focus is more in the visualization of the movie or book than your actual surroundings.

Anyone who drives a vehicle has experienced highway hypnosis. Driving along with their focus on things other than driving until something happens to call them back from autopilot.

Hypnotic techniques are also in many religious and cultural rituals. The Catholic ritual of saying the rosary is a verbal hypnotic technique. Indian drumming is auditory hypnosis.

Changes are more successful when engineered through the sub-conscious because the conscious mind will argue back at you about change. This critical factor is passed by in the hypnotic state and suggestions are accepted.

Be comforted that hypnotic suggestions have to be consistent with your personal morals.

You can never be “suggested” into doing something in a hypnotic state that you would not want do in a regular conscious state.

Hypnosis depends on your following the instructions. You are doing it to yourself. No one can be hypnotized against their will.

You are “willing” yourself into the relaxed state by following the directions to relax. In the relaxed state, you can add visualization or use subliminals.

So quite often you have dropped into a light hypnotic state through everyday occurrences or natural rituals.

To deliberately achieve a hypnotic, meditative state, first relax using a technique that suits you.

There are many ways to relax, abdominal breathing, meditation music, relaxation tape, or even light exercise. The relaxation is a subtle feel good experience. You are not asleep or unconscious. You are aware of everything and you feel very mellow.

You can enjoy the relaxed state or you can add programming to make positive hypnotic changes to habits or emotional responses.

Programming can be accomplished with a script that you read aloud.

Or you can tape yourself reading a script and listen to the suggestions hearing your own voice.

There are tapes and CD's with hypnotic music or sounds in a wide variety of topics including losing weight and quitting smoking.

Meditation Improves Health and Strengthens Brain Functions

2005-12-31T08:55:00.000-05:00

Monks are considered the superstars of meditation, but benefits can come from a variety of repetitive, mind-clearing practices that elicit the so-called relaxation response. Such as swaying in prayer, saying the rosary even knitting.

Under that broad definition, about one-half of Americans perform some sort of meditation.

Massachusetts General Hospital researchers scanned the brains of 20 people who meditated regularly.

These people had four regions of cortex -- the rind of the brain, associated with higher functions like memory and decision making -- that were thicker than in 15 subjects who didn't meditate.

In addition, the researchers found signs that one area of the cortex seemed to have aged less quickly than it did in non-meditators. The study did not look at whether those brain differences had a noticeable impact on behavior, but researchers are now doing follow-up work to assess that.

The findings ''provide the first evidence that alterations in brain structure are associated with Western-style meditation practice, possibly reflecting increased use of specific brain regions," said Sara Lazar, of Harvard.

In other Harvard-affiliated work, researchers reported that by using a device that can analyze every breath a person exhales, they could objectively measure the depth of relaxation a person had achieved. People who reached deeper states of relaxation exhaled more nitric oxide, a gas known to relax the smooth muscles in arteries, and aid blood flow.

''Our results provide initial evidence of how the relaxation response intervention and other mind/body approaches might lower blood pressure," said Jeffery A. Dusek. ''In the near future, it may even be possible to use our new technique to determine an effective 'dose' of meditation for a given person, or to identify characteristics of individuals who best respond to the relaxation response intervention."

Another new study, from the University of Kentucky, found that meditation could offset the sluggishness of sleep deprivation better than a nap.

Researchers tested volunteers on a button-pressing speed task, and found that even novice meditators improved their performance more after 40 minutes of meditation than after a 40-minute nap. Meditation helped even after a full night of sleep deprivation.

Ultimately, scientists aim to understand not only the powers of monks but the everyday experiences of amateur meditators for lowering high blood pressure and increasing energy.

There are many ways to meditate. Here’s one that I enjoy.

Focus on your breath flowing deep into your abdomen. Contract the abdomen lightly on the exhale. Breath slow and regular, don’t hold or force inhalation or exhale.

Count each breath beginning at 1. Count upwards ending at the 5th breath. Then count each breath beginning at 5 and going down to 0. Then mentally, silently say a single syllable word that gives you the desired sensation with each breath. Word examples are Peace, Joy, Love, One, Wealth.

This meditation can be done in waking consciousness throughout the day as you need a spot of relaxation (in traffic or meetings) or sitting with eyes closed in a longer session.

Past Life Regression Script

2005-11-08T06:38:00.000-05:00

The script below can be read aloud by a friend or you can record the script and play it back. Read at a slow but regular pace with a neutral voice. Don’t try for hypnotic or dramatic tone.

Make notes about your experiences and responses afterwards as soon as possible as some will fade.

You can receive information in pictures, emotions, sounds, thoughts and smells. Be open and aware of all sensory input. Accept everything as a clue. What can appear trivial in time might become more significant.

Take everything lightly as if you’re playing a mental game. Avoid questioning the validity of what you sense. Approach script and results as if you’re playing the game “20 Questions” where whatever pops first into your mind is the right answer.

For the staircase imagery everyone has seen a staircase. So everyone can remember one in their mind’s eye.

Some people have developed creative visual skills and may feel comfortable picturing a fantasy staircase or combining imagined elements with actual staircase.

But everyone can remember one they’ve seen. Don’t use the “I don’t see anything” excuse. Remember a staircase and you will see it.

The more you use the script, the more you get.

Script

Release the weight of your body into the support of the floor/bed.

Notice how your back makes contact with the support of the floor/bed.

Relax the back of your legs....the back of your hips....your lower back, middle back, and upper back.

Feel the weight and relaxation of the back of your body sinking through the floor/bed.

Relax the back of your shoulders / the back of your arms / the back of your neck / and the back of your head.

Wiggle and make any adjustments needed to relax the back of your body into the ground more fully. Melt into the support of the floor/bed completely.

Now, notice the weight of your body.

Notice the weight of your legs, as they rest on the floor. Let your legs be heavy. Let your thighs, feet and toes relax. Release, relax, let go of them completely. Let your legs drift and float and now forget about them.

Notice the weight of your hips and pelvis, as they rest on the floor/bed. Let the weight of your pelvis sink into the floor/bed.

Notice the weight of your rib cage. Let the back ribs melt into the floor/bed. Feel your abdomen expand with each inhalation. As you exhale, let the belly fully contract. Like a giant balloon inflating and completely deflating. Relaxing deeper with each deep breath.

Notice the weight of your shoulders and arms, as they rest on the floor/bed. Let your arms be so heavy that they sink through the floor/bed. Then release them completely. Let go. Let them drift and float away and then forget about them.

Notice the weight of your head, as it rests on the floor/bed. Let the head be heavy. Feel your neck and throat release and relax.

Relax the muscles of your face / relax your eyes and eyelids / your cheeks melt into relaxation / release, relax, let go of your jaw / your forehead and eyebrows smooth and relaxed / feel your scalp melt into relaxation. Your whole head and face totally relaxed, released.

Become aware of your breathing. Notice each inhalation relaxing the front of your body, and each exhalation relaxing the whole back of your body. Breathing slow, deep and then let it go.

Breathing the body deeper and deeper into relaxation as you drift and float in peace.

Close your eyes if not already closed.

Imagine and Picture you are at the top of a staircase

There are 10 safe steps down to deep relaxation

Counting backwards (either aloud or in your mind) from 10 as you go down each stair

Breathe through your nose filling the abdomen and exhale completely through your mouth as you go down each stair

Feeling safe and secure starting down the stairs now. / 10

Going down and breathing down. Down another stair now / 9

Release, (slight pause) relax, (slight pause) let go /8

Feeling more and more relaxed and peaceful as I go down each stair / 7

Down, (slight pause) down, (slight pause) down / 6

Every muscle, cell and atom of my body melts into relaxation / 5

I am so comfortable, so relaxed I am no longer aware of having this body. / 4

Going down and breathing deeper down / 3

Breathing deep and relaxing deeper / 2

Down, (slight pause) down, (slight pause) down / 1

I am at the bottom of the stairs Releasing, (slight pause) Relaxing, (slight pause) Letting go

I turn around, look at the staircase and it fades, melts disappears. It is gone and I feel confident and secure

Look around imagine, picture a path.

Notice what the path is made of and follow it.

Notice what is around your path. Grass, flowers, sand, trees, birds, animals, mountains, water etc. (If you are not visually gifted, imagine what you like to see.)

Engage all your senses. What do you smell? What textures are around you? Do you feel sunlight, a breeze? Are there sounds?

You are totally safe and protected as you follow this path. Stroll around looking around for awhile.

Eventually you notice a gate.

When you are in front of the gate look up in the sky, you notice your name written in the sky in clouds. As you watch, the clouds dissolve as clouds do. The sky is clear and your name is gone. You feel comfortable with this.

Reach for the door of the gate, open it and pass through to a past life experience.

(You can take whatever life pops in or ask for a specific life. For instance say and know “I now pass into the life where I learn about ______________________”)

(Whatever comes to mind, accept and go with the flow as if it’s an imagination game. There will be clues that assure you of the value of what you get.)

Look at your feet. What types of covering, if anything, are on your feet? Gradually move your awareness up your body noticing what clothing you have on.

Look around you, what are surroundings like? (Remember just go with your first impression. If things are vague, move over for a closer look.)

If you haven’t yet noticed anyone else there, look around for other people. (In some cases it is possible that you are the only one there.) Notice what other people are wearing and doing. If you want to, approach the others and ask questions. (Nothing there can bother you now and clues there can help with issues in the present. If you don’t like what is around you ask for the lesson in it to go to another scene.)

Ask yourself things you’d like to know. Such as what is my name, what year is it, what is this location called.

Tell your mind to show you the happiest time you experienced in that lifetime. Personally I prefer to skip the death but you can ask for that scene. You can ask to go to the space in between lives.

I like to end by asking for the most important lesson learned in that lifetime. The answer is usually a word or phrase rather than a particular scene as it sums up the entire life.

When finished you can just open your eyes or you can return to the gate you entered lifetime and go back through.

(Thirty minutes is long enough to spend on this script. Make notes as soon as possible.)

How to Hypnotise

2005-08-16T06:34:00.000-05:00

The hypnotist is an educator, showing the participant how to do it themselves.

A hypnotist does not “hypnotize someone” a client hypnotizes themselves.

A hypnotist role is to guide the participant into how to change their brainwave patterns giving them the information needed to get there.

Everyone has experienced trance states in everyday life.

When in an altered state of trance, you are still fully aware of where you are and what you’re doing.

States of trance occur when daydreaming, watching a movie, driving home on autopilot, practicing meditation or other relaxation techniques.

Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that we all go through every night falling into sleep and again upon awakening from sleep.

Keeping in mind that no one can be hypnotized against their will or be coerced to do things in a hypnotic state that they would not consciously choose to do, the basic steps for a hypnosis session are:

1. Use relaxation techniques to slow the brainwave patterns to alpha, theta or delta depending on what work client wishes to accomplish.

(BETA WAVES - 14Hz to 20Hz. Beta waves are associated with normal waking consciousness. They are present when you are focused on activities in the outside world.

ALPHA WAVES - 8Hz to 13Hz. Alpha waves are likened to a light meditation. They are prevalent when you daydream. They will become stronger when your eyes are closed.

THETA WAVES - 4Hz to 7Hz. Theta waves occur during heightened states of creativity and are found with a deep meditative state.

DELTA WAVES - .5Hz to 3Hz. Delta waves are found in a deep sleep state or unconsciousness. Also, Delta waves are common in very deep meditation.)

2. Therapist asks questions to client’s subconscious to discover root and perhaps hidden cause of problem. Client can even be asked what is the best method for their recovery.

3. Hypnotist offers suggestions specifically geared to the goal of the therapy. The suggestions can be specific or creative imagery to bypass the judgmental mind.

4. Programming instructions to remind client’s subconscious to go to the new suggestions when problem situation arises.

5. Bring client back to alert beta brainwave patterns.

Hypnotism is a complex subject.

Light states can be achieved easily and with practice (like learning a musical instrument) mastery is achieved.

*Group hypnosis seminars only work for some people who don't need to get to their individual cause of problem or situation.

*If taking hypnosis classes go to an accredited school not a weekend diploma mill. Hypnotism can not be mastered quickly.

Improve Sports Affirmations

2005-07-30T19:48:00.000-05:00

Below is an assortment of sports performance affirmations.

Choose the ones you feel an attunement with.

Affirmations condition the subconscious mind which then influences your consciousness.

They can be used in several ways. You can choose one method below or a combination.

You might want to write them daily in a journal.

Read them to yourself or aloud.

Post your favorites on cards and either carry them with you or tape affirmation cards where you will see them throughout the day.

Make a recording in your own voice and play it as you fall into sleep is a very effective method.

As you use your preferred method include mental visualization using as many of your five senses (sight, sound smell, taste, touch) as appropriate.

Also include different emotional feelings such as love, protection, nurturing, joy. Emotion is a fuel which makes affirmations more powerful.

Be aware of breathing deep into the abdomen. As if you are sending the energy inside yourself.

You can add your own affirmations.

Write them in present tense.

Write what you want, no “reverse” positives which would be using words such as no, never, not or don’t. For instance – I never strike out. The correct version is I always hit the ball exactly where I want it.

You can personalize these affirmations to your sport by adding the name of your sport, position you play or equipment you use.

At the end of the affirmation list I give some examples of how you might add your sport to the affirmations that you like.

I am on top of my game.

I learn and improve every time I play.

I have fun and enjoy my game.

My score improves.

The more I practice the better I get.

I am improving every day.

I learn from mistakes.

Hypnotic Script for Weight Loss

2005-07-21T13:35:00.000-05:00

The following script may be recorded and listened to during the day. Playing it as you fall into sleep is a very effective method.

Another effective method is to print script and read it silently or aloud. (ignore the close eyes part in beginning)
Just before meal times is a productive time to read or listen to this script.

Everyone has seen a staircase. So everyone can remember one in their mind’s eye. Some people have developed creative visual skills and may feel comfortable picturing a fantasy staircase or combining imagined elements with actual staircase.

But everyone can remember one they’ve seen. Don’t use the I don’t see anything excuse. Remember it and you will see it.

Begin Script

Close your eyes

Imagine and Picture you are at the top of a staircase

There are 20 safe steps down to your goal

Counting backwards from 20 as you go down each stair

Breathing deep into the abdomen and exhaling completely as you go down each stair

Feeling safe and secure starting down the stairs. / 20

Going down and breathing down. Down another stair now / 19

Release, relax, let go /18

Feeling more and more peaceful as I go down each stair / 17, 16, 15

Going down and breathing deeper down / 14

My life is full. I feel satisfied. / 13

I eat for health. / 12

Down, down, down / 11, 10, 9

I am comfortable. / 8

Going down and breathing deeper down / 7

I am fulfilled now. / 6

I feel peaceful and calm. / 5, 4, 3

Breathing deep and relaxing deeper /

I eat slowly. / 2

Down, down, down /

I am confident and secure. /1

I reach the bottom of the stairs Releasing, Relaxing, Letting go of everything from the past which keeps me from my goal weight.

I feel lighter as I release past mental conditioning that kept me from my goal weight.

I remember these new eating habits every time I eat.

I now chose to eat in a manner that promotes health. Eating for a healthy body fills me with happiness.

Breathe deeply for a few minutes and relax sensing how your body feels at your goal weight and muscle tone.

End Script

When ready, open your eyes knowing you will remember your new eating habits automatically at meals.

Pre Birth Affirmations for a Healthy Child Bonding with Fetus

2005-07-19T13:02:00.000-05:00

Affirmations condition the subconscious mind which then influences your consciousness.

Affirmations can be used in several ways. You can use one method or a combination.

You might want to write them in a journal.

Read them to yourself or aloud.

Post your favorites on cards and either carry them with you or tape affirmation cards where you will see them throughout the day.

Make a recording in your own voice (your mate’s voice) and play it as you fall into sleep is a very effective method.

As you use your preferred method include mental visualization using as many of your five senses (sight, sound smell, taste, touch) as appropriate.

Also include different emotional feelings such as love, protection, nurturing, joy. Emotion is a fuel which makes affirmations more powerful.

Be aware of breathing deep into the abdomen. As if you are sending the affirmation to your child on the inhale. As you exhale feel your child’s response.

Affirmations

Hello or Good morning (afternoon, evening)
(add your child’s name or term of affection) Hello Johnny or Good Morning precious little one.

I sense and feel your growth into perfect health.

(Name of child or affection / Beautiful baby) your growth follows the master blue print for development.

Daily you positively increase in maturity.

Perfect development flows from the growth each new cell.

I am confident in your healthy increase.

I feel the bliss of your strong growth flowing through both of us.

I fill with great happiness as I feel you develop.

Each day brings us closer and closer.

Your growth and development is perfect in every way.

You are strong and hearty.

You feel at peace. I feel your peace. You feel my love.

We are in harmony. We actually grow and develop together.

Every day you increase in size in the perfect way.

Your growth is ideal.

You follow the model for development.

Moment by moment I experience your presence increasing.

We both are comfortable and at ease as you grow.

Baby’s name or term of affection can be used in place of “you or your”.

Because of the many different religions, I haven’t included any affirmations referring to God. Those can be used by adding your personal religious choices to most of the above affirmations.
You can add your own affirmations.

Write them in present tense.
Write what you want, no “reverse” positives which would be using words such as no, never, not or don’t. For instance / You have no health problems.

Relaxation Script

2005-07-17T12:29:00.000-05:00

There are different styles of progressive relaxation techniques.
With some styles you tense a muscle group before you relax that muscle. Personally I never cared for that technique but you can add it to the below relaxation script if that style works for you.

You can record this script and listen to it for even deeper relaxation.

Release the weight of your body into the support of the floor/bed.

Notice how your back makes contact with the support of the floor/bed.

Relax the back of your legs....the back of your hips....your lower back, middle back, and upper back. Feel the weight and relaxation of the back of your body sinking through the floor/bed.

Relax the back of your shoulders / the back of your arms / the back of your neck / and the back of your head. Wiggle and make any adjustments needed to relax the back of your body into the ground more fully. Melt into the support of the floor/bed completely.

Now, notice the weight of your body. Notice the weight of your legs, as they rest on the floor. Let your legs be heavy. Let your thighs, feet and toes relax. Release, relax, let go of them completely. Let your legs drift and float and now forget about them.

Notice the weight of your hips and pelvis, as they rest on the floor/bed. Let the weight of your pelvis sink into the floor/bed.

Notice the weight of your rib cage. Let the back ribs melt into the floor/bed.

Feel your abdomen expand with each inhalation. As you exhale, let the belly fully contract. Like a giant balloon inflating and completely deflating. Relaxing deeper with each deep breath.

Notice the weight of your shoulders and arms, as they rest on the floor/bed. Let your arms be so heavy that they sink through the floor/bed. Then release them completely. Let go. Let them drift and float away and then forget about them.

Notice the weight of your head, as it rests on the floor/bed. Let the head be heavy. Feel your neck and throat release and relax.

Relax the muscles of your face / relax your eyes and eyelids / your cheeks melt into relaxation / release, relax, let go of your jaw / your forehead and eyebrows smooth and relaxed / feel your scalp melt into relaxation. Your whole head and face totally relaxed, released.

Become aware of your breathing. Notice each inhalation relaxing the front of your body, and each exhalation relaxing the whole back of your body. Breathing slow, deep and then let it go.

Breathing the body deeper and deeper into relaxation as you drift and float in peace.

Customize Your Brain Waves

2005-07-12T14:46:00.000-05:00

Every thought, feeling, sensation, and level of awareness has a corresponding brain wave pattern.

Learning to change brain wave patterns used to mean years or decades of discipline to mental techniques with no guarantee of results.

Modern science has changed that with entrainment technology. These mind machines and software provide ways to reach your natural abilities for learning, healing, creating, and relaxing without decades of practice.

Throughout a human lifetime, particularly the early years
(Birth - 12 years old), mental programs are being coded into memory. There is a program to handle the movement of your limbs or the way you speak, a program to handle reading and arithmetic, there are programs handling the different emotions.

All of these codes are running in your brain, controlling how you think and behave. The brain, which can be thought of as an incredibly powerful computer, contains hundreds of thousands of mental program codes set by your life experiences.

The Neuro Programmer is software on the cutting edge of mind technology using brainwave entrainment to selectively change brain activity, targeting certain areas of the brain for optimization or reprogramming.

One aspect of the
Neuro-Programmer that makes it unique is that it actually targets neural structures and very specific brainwave bands that have been proven to be most receptive to re-programming - it forces the brain to change its internal functioning according to the instructions you give it.

There are over 115 top quality sessions built into NP2, and even more in the user library.

Also, you can change the pitch of the tones, add a background, turn the various session components (Noise, Background sound, Tones, etc) on and off, control the AudioStrobe brightness, add scripts, affirmations and much more. Everything is customizable, and it is very easy to use.

NP allows you to export any session, hypnotic script, recording or mix you make, which can then be burnt to a CD.

Subliminal Software for Computer

2005-07-08T16:06:00.000-05:00

Hypnotic subliminals can be used individually as audio messages, visual messages or in combination of both audio & visual.

Audio subliminals use a message or messages repeated over and over accompanied by an overlying audio signal of a different content.

Visual subliminals message can be a single frame of a movie or pictures flashed to the subject. The pictures are flashed so quickly that the conscience can not perceive them but the subconscious will.

When a person is quickly shown an image, the brain maintains an after image of the word or picture.

The image is still seen by the brain even though it was quickly flashed. At the first flash you may remember a part of a word. With each close together quick flash, the brain recalls more and continuing in such a way until you recognize the word or picture in your sub-conscious.

The subconscious mind is non-analytical. It stores the memories that direct your conscious actions, thoughts, and habits. Subliminals are so effective because they reach the sub-conscious, you can remove mistakenly programmed self-limiting beliefs and replace them with your goal beliefs bypassing the limiting conscious critical factor.

Click here to see Affirmware which is a software program that combines both audio and visual subliminals.

It actually combines SEVEN technologies to increase the power and speed of manifestation.

1. Affirmations
2. Visualization
3. Alpha sound technology (to induce highly receptive meditative states)
4. Subliminal technology
5. Sentence completion
6. Assignment writing/goal setting
7. Whole brain synchronization (utilizing thought, intuition, sensation and emotion)

Sitting in front of your computer for 10 minutes using Affirmware you are literally soaking yourself in seven powerful technologies that have been synergistically combined to produce incredible results.

At the conscious level when you change a part of your life, if it works at all, it often only works for a short time. This is because you haven’t changed the sub-conscious memories implanted by your experiences.

Subliminals can reach the sub-conscious root of an habit. So you can plant a new thought seed and grow a habit that you choose.

Subliminals

2005-07-08T12:08:00.000-05:00

Changes are subtle when beginning to use subliminals for most people.
The types of changes experienced will include feeling more positive, more relaxed, less stressed and more in control of your life. Many report a sense of peace and well-being in spite of whatever problems they may currently be experiencing in their daily life.

Some users of subliminal programs discover that they automatically start thinking more positively without effort. Some people have some of the positive affirmations just suddenly pop into their minds when they’re not expecting it but needing the relaxation.

Since birth you’ve been following scripts embedded in your subconscious mind by parents, friends, relatives and teachers.

Those thought habits, attitudes, and inner beliefs form the strengths or chains that you live with. These subconscious limitations are what have been preventing you from enjoying complete success, happiness and personal fulfillment, and they will continue limiting you for the rest of your life unless you take positive steps to change them.

If you were repeatedly told negative ideas as a child such as, “You are slow, stupid, you’ll never amount to much,” your impressionable subconscious would accept these ideas without question or logical considerations.
So now when you have the conscious thought “I want to be a success” your subconscious feeds you back “but I am slow and stupid.” One thought canceling out the other thus no progress ever made.

Because these self-defeating beliefs are deeply rooted in your subconscious, they remain until you change them. Sometimes we are not even aware of the source of the past negative programming that is holding us back. We just know that some aspect of our life is not what we want it to be.

The subconscious mind is non-analytical. It stores the memories that direct your conscious actions, thoughts, and habits.

Subliminals are so effective because they reach the sub-conscious. You can remove mistakenly programmed self-limiting beliefs and replace them with your goal beliefs bypassing the limiting conscious critical factor.

Hypnosis, Meditation, Visualization

2005-07-05T10:32:00.000-05:00

Hypnosis, meditation and visualization are three similar processes for accessing a creative area of the sub-conscious mind. Relaxation Magic lessons use a combination of all three therapies for maximum results. With the exception of people who have mental disabilities such as schizophrenia and severe retardation, everyone can achieve the relaxed focus of hypnosis, meditation and visualization by themselves.

Within themselves everyone has their own unique solutions for solving a situation they want to work on.

The way I work is to help a person first reach a relaxed state and then through visualizations find personal imagery to explore their situation. One reason I feel hypnosis, meditation and visualization are so potent for problem solving is that areas of stress can be reached indirectly through analogies and a situation can be discussed without causing more discomfort.

Recent research is confirming how connected the mind is in creating and eliminating physical problems. Physicians can fix the body but the mind can create the situation again. This is why adding the mind to a health program is the optimum method for total healing.

The first step to being in control of your life is being in control of your mind. If you’re not controlling your thoughts, who is?

Meditation and visualization enable you to communicate with your physical body, to relax mental and muscle tension even regulate autonomous body systems. Documentation has been out for years that meditation masters can control their heart rate and body temperature. Perhaps we will never need to use body heat to dry wet robes in frigid weather as advanced meditation masters can but being in peaceful control of ourselves mentally and physically is an ideal goal.

Where to start

When brand new at any endeavor it is always best to start at the beginning. To experience maximum results with the advanced Active Visualization Lesson spend the ten to fifteen minutes daily building your mental muscles with the beginning lessons.

Be Relaxed Anytime Anywhere and Recognizing & Reprogramming Self Defeating Behaviors lessons may be utilized without first completing the beginning lessons.

Breathe, breathe, breathe I can’t say it enough. The ultimate quickest way to relax is to breathe.

Details – Time, Setting, Clothing, Posture

What time of day is best to practice is whenever it will best fit your schedule. For beginners to make meditation a habit it is recommended to set a definite time. This way if you miss your meditation appointment you are aware of the omission and can reschedule with yourself before the day is over.

When beginning to meditate, it is good to have a routine or ritual. Routine and ritual will key the mind into what is going to follow. The routine / ritual can be simple or elaborate, whatever suits your personality.

A basic routine is deciding to relax and meditate every day at the same time and in the same setting. Meditating in the same place when starting is also helpful to develop habit and focus.

The optimum setting is one that is comfortable and quiet with minimum distractions obviously away from telephones, TV, adults or children interrupting. Some meditators have to compromise on comfort to gain quiet. I know people who meditate in their bathroom or garage to access quiet time. You might want to try several locations before settling on your favorite. If you are interrupted, just acknowledge what is happening and return to your practice when possible. Eventually you will be able to be in a light meditative state anywhere, even with your eyes open.

Ritual can be as simple as just knowing it is the time that you decided to meditate and going to your meditation place. Or, you can elaborate and use candles, incense, crystals and other background objects that aid your sensation of peace or power. I do not recommend using music during meditation as your mind will listen to the music instead of focusing. Keeping brief notes or a journal on your daily sessions is also recommended.

It is best to wear non-restrictive clothing with as much natural fiber as possible. Loosen belts, ties and if possible remove shoes and socks for some styles.

Sit however is comfortable for you. If you enjoy sitting with a pillow on the floor, go for it. It is also perfectly acceptable to sit with a straight back in a chair and let the chair support your back. (I sit in a chair with my back supported and my legs crossed under me.) Your legs do not need to be crossed and the feet can rest on the floor. Observe the position of your shoulders, neck and head. Relax your shoulders down and lengthen them straight out. Relax your neck muscles. Feel that your head is balanced and centered on your neck. Image that your head is a fish bowl and if it is tipped forward or back, you will spill water and fish out! Check if your jaw is relaxed by allowing the lower jaw to drop slightly.

Breathe through your nose. Begin each lesson observing a few breathes expanding the abdomen on the inhale and contracting the abdomen on the exhale. More detailed breathing instructions are given in the Zen lesson.

How long to meditate? A ten to fifteen minute meditation session will give you results. If you choose to meditate longer, it is because you enjoy the activity (or should I say non-activity). Greater results are not necessarily achieved by time spent in practice as much as your consistency and concentration during practice. Decide how long your meditation will be. Choose whatever works best for you to time the session. Set a timer to ring when your session ends or tell your mind to alert you when the set time has passed. Eventually your mind will know precisely when your set time is up. Do not use this method until you have perfected it if you are on a tight schedule.

During meditation and visualization you will be aware of any outer physical situation that requires your immediate attention.

Meditation is a state of heightened awareness not of unconsciousness.

Brain Works Differently in Hypnosis

2005-07-04T05:42:00.000-05:00

Being hypnotized should not be thought of as losing control. Hypnosis is a way of enhancing your own control over your body and mind.

It's not a matter of a hypnotist putting the whammy on someone and saying, 'Go do this.' It's a matter of teaching someone how to restructure their approach to their problem and manage it better."

In the past many experts had dismissed the effects of hypnosis as nothing more than an elaborate form of compliance behavior.
The idea was that people who performed ridiculous acts in hypnotist stage shows were basically acting a part and doing what was expected of them.
Modern equipment shows evidence that proved the compliance theory wrong.

Tests and brain scans on hypnotized volunteers has pinpointed a frontal lobe region of the brain called the cingulate gyrus which controls behavior and monitors mistakes.
In hypnotized subjects, this area of the brain appeared to be working differently than in people who were not hypnotized.

Psychologist Dr Peter Naish, from the Open University in Milton Keynes, “The evidence really, really, is there. Hypnosis is not miraculous, it is for real. Something is going on. The brain is doing quite different things during hypnosis than it does in ordinary everyday existence.”

Pain Control

Habit Patterns Begin Early

2005-07-04T05:25:00.000-05:00

From our daily experiences, habit patterns develop.
Some habit pattern behaviors are beneficial, some worth changing.

Patterns begin developing right from the minute we are born. (Perhaps even before birth. There is hypnotic regression information that a fetus is aware of what their mother is experiencing.) Everything we learn becomes part of our neural associations and pathways.

We’ve all heard the statement old habits die hard which is a way of saying the habit is wired into our sub-conscious response pattern. Some patterns or reasons for a habit aren’t even recognized consciously.

Hypnosis, meditation and visualization are three similar processes for accessing a creative area of the sub-conscious mind where habit patterns can be rewritten.

Many habit error patterns resist change by conventional conscious methods, even when the subject really wants the change, because of the sub-conscious programming.

Behavior is determined by habit patterns imprinted or programmed in the brain. New habits require new connections in the brain which is why hypnosis is the best method for making lasting changes to habit patterns.

Early experiences with hypnosis

2005-07-03T10:48:00.000-05:00

Hypnotic mind control is my favorite method for making changes happen easily and effortlessly. From weight loss to quitting smoking I've seen dramatic successful results.

I received Advanced Hypnotherapy Certification from the Hypnotism Training Institute of San Diego in 1989 after first completing their Basic Hypnotism course in 1988.(HTI was approved by the Superintendent of SD Schools for continuing education credits and certification. Beware of the one day diploma mills.)

For two years I refined my hypnosis skills with co-workers, friends and their friends. Then I worked as a hypnotherapist in the spa at the Kent Woman’s Fitness Club with members and general public. The most frequent requests were for weight loss, quitting smoking and confidence building.

I relocated to Encinitas CA in 1995 and had a private practice there. Along with the issues mentioned above, I worked with phobias, past life regression, stress, job interviewing, anger control, memory, panic attacks and pain management including childbirth.

Quite frequently the hypnosis sessions yielded so much more than was expected by both the client and myself.

In session after session I observed the ability the mind has to use imagery to heal and fix problems. I realized that in a relaxed state, clients would have imagery come to them that was symbolic of what their problem needed. This was very potent because areas of stress could be worked on indirectly through analogies. The client would get imagery that was perfectly on target. All I had to do was help them reach a relaxed state, ask client what they saw, heard and or felt, then use their own imagery for what their session was dealing with.

Deep, slow breathing is the first step to being relaxed and will help you achieve self-hypnosis, meditation and visualization. (Meditation and visualization access the mind in a manner similar to hypnosis.) There are hundreds of breathing exercises. Find one or several that suit you. Deep breathing raises blood oxygen levels which aids mental performance and ironically also quiets the mind.

As you practice relaxing your body consciously, eventually you will find you are able to stay relaxed during the rest of the day.

In 1998 I left a California beach front cottage to care for my aging parents in Hartford Connecticut. To keep a positive attitude I used a lot of the meditation, relaxation and positive attitude techniques I’d been studying since 1971.

The basics of hypnosis are the same but with modern technology advances there are some interesting new short cuts including using light & sound, biofeedback and subliminals.
See my website Hypnosis Improve Life for information on techniques and modern equipment which enhance the hypnotic experience and mind control.

After a telepathic experience in 1971, I began studying the mind/body connection. Over the last 33 years I completed numerous classes in many techniques and read voraciously.
My studies started with Tarot. I received lessons from Builders of the Adytum for five years.
Presently I prefer using hypnosis because it enables a client to access their sub-conscious directly making the information clearer. When the client gets the answer through their own mind, I feel the message or lesson is stronger.

I returned to CT in 1998 to care for my elderly parents. Both my parents had been very ill when I returned. I didn’t work at starting a hypnotherapy practice here as I honestly didn’t expect to be in CT so long. Guess that shows what a bit of loving attention will accomplish.
