We already know that many anxieties stem from your Script, this one traumatic incident in your early childhood that imprinted itself on your subconscious. Let’s say that you were bitten by a dog when you were little and ever since then you shied away from dogs. You are afraid of them. Every time you get close to a dog, any size or breed, your heart starts beating faster, you skin gets clammy, you start to sweat, you walk to the other side of the street, and if that dog is off the leash, you run as fast as you can just to get away from this dog, even if it’s just a little dachshund that can’t possibly hurt you.
This is irrational behavior and you know it, but you still can’t shake it off. So what should you do?
Start by talking to your subconscious. Imagine the subconscious mind as a computer: all the data is stored there safely – but it takes programs to access it. These programs are your attitudes and beliefs about every aspect of your life that you formed from childhood on. Your Scripts are also such programs, whether positive or negative.
You can easily see how we are controlled by our subconscious mind and how important it is to find ways to communicate with it. Both meditation and hypnosis are excellent conduits to the subconscious mind. Like meditation, hypnosis creates a state of deep relaxation and quiets the mind, only much more intense and with the intent of bringing about changes in emotions or behavior. When you are hypnotized, your attention is more focused and you are more open to suggestions. You feel uninhibited and relaxed because you tune out the worries and doubts that normally keep your actions in check. Through meditation and hypnosis you can rewrite your Script and change the fear of dogs into appreciation of man’s most beloved companion!
We’ll talk about the techniques to use for meditation and self hypnosis in a later Blog.
