Hypnosis and the Mind
Hypnosis: so easy, you do it with your eyes closed.
Fundamentals of the Mind
The human mind may be subdivided into three parts: the Unconscious, Subconscious and Conscious. These compare to a computer:
Unconscious = operating system
Subconscious = hard drive
Conscious = RAM
Each part has separate and distinct tasks.
The Unconscious mind operates your automatic body systems such as the circulatory system, much as a computer’s operating system includes its basic functions. The Subconscious mind operates like a hard drive by storing files of all kinds, from a full memory bank of your past to your emotional spectrum, to its most vital task: protecting you at all costs. The Conscious mind is our everyday mind, making immediate day to day decisions like what to wear, eat, and drink. It is the gatekeeper, choosing what information is to be acted upon moment by moment. It’s the mind you’re reading this book with right now, and its tasks include comparing, reasoning, and explaining. These abilities are called the Critical Factor and are bypassed in hypnosis.
Importance of the Subconscious Mind
To update a file on your computer, you must open the original file and make the changes. In the human mind, original files are stored in the Subconscious. To gain access, we must reach the Subconscious directly, bypassing the Conscious mind. In other words, one way to gain positive changes in the present is to neutralize the negativity in the past. We do not change the memories, we upgrade how you feel about them.This upgrading can only be accomplished in the Subconscious, for that is where memories are stored, and it can only be reached through bypass of the Conscious mind, and that can only be done through hypnosis. Why? It’s what works. Hypnosis specifically sets the Conscious mind aside temporarily.
Your Mind Must Protect You; Good News, Bad News
All levels of your mind work to protect you as best they can at all times. And this especially applies to the Subconscious. It must protect you at all costs, and to do so, it may even lie to you, or more to the point, to your Conscious mind. It may lie about you, about others, it may even lie to your hypnotist while you are in trance. It may hide memories from you. And much, much more. This is because once it accepts negative behaviors in the name of your safety, it hangs on to those behaviors. Some examples are:
•smoking anything
•being obese
•declining success
•biting your fingernails
•spending compulsively
You may well ask, how can compulsive spending possibly protect me? It distracts you. Misdirection is one highly effective way your Subconscious protects you by keeping a lid on overwhelming emotions. Ergo the addict. You may well ask, how can declining to be successful possibly protect me? It limits you. Limiting exposure to risk is another way to protect you. It is when such protective efforts do not meet your current needs that you desire change. Hypnosis sets aside the Conscious mind, makes changes via the Subconscious mind, and change is achieved.
How Hypnosis Upgrades Your Files
Hypnosis is able to change your perception of your memories, and thus of yourself. We do not change the events themselves, we upgrade how you feel about them, and thus your daily life is upgraded. By accessing the original files stored in the Subconscious, you are able to see all of the reasons why your mind specifies your behaviors in the name of protecting you, and together we upgrade those behaviors since, typically, the need of that protection is gone. You are no longer in the middle of the event that had such impact on you. Your Conscious mind does not have complete access to your memory files; that is not its job. This is why merely talking about change is such an ineffective means of getting any. Talking happens in the Conscious mind. Change happens in the Subconscious. And here’s the rub: the Subconscious outvotes the Conscious mind. It is far, far larger, stronger, and more powerful. This is why willpower fails so miserably for the dieter. Unless the Subconscious agrees to a healthy diet and a normalized body weight, your finest of intentions are shortlived, having been overridden by the Subconscious mind.
Emotions
Emotions are a function of, and are stored in, the Subconscious. When you have had an emotional reaction to danger, for example, real or imagined, those emotions are felt and stored in your Subconscious. Hypnosis accesses those stored emotions, upgrades your perception of them, and results in changed behavior. You must give yourself permission to make changes. You must want to change. You must want to enter into hypnosis. And this means not being afraid of hypnosis. So, let’s define what hypnosis is in several ways, as there is no single perfect way to phrase it.
What Hypnosis Is
•“Hypnosis is the bypass of the critical factor of the conscious mind combined with the establishment of selective thinking,” says the US Government.
•Hypnosis is a blend of physical relaxation and extreme mental alertness. Yes, I said extreme.
•Hypnosis is a state of focused concentration. This is why a few minutes of emotional expression in trance is worth hours in an alert state. Humans are so easily distracted, and the Conscious mind is forever making excuses for everything. In hypnosis, the conscious mind is set aside, and excuses are seen for what they are.
•Hypnosis is the state you enter into every time you watch a tv show you like, see a film you like, or sit down at the computer intending to only be there for 10 minutes… and suddenly it’s two hours later.
•Hypnosis also happens when humans fall in love, literally entranced.
What Hypnosis Is Not
•Hypnosis is not mind control.
•Hypnosis is not a royal proclamation.
•Hypnosis is not sleep. We use relaxation, not sleep, to enter hypnosis. You do not wake up from hypnosis, you emerge. And you already know exactly what emerging from hypnosis feels like! Remember the last time you went to the movies, loved the film, and at the end when the credits rolled, you suddenly “came to”? You just emerged from hypnosis. That’s exactly what it feels like, because that’s exactly what happened.
•Hypnosis is not being unconscious. You can hear everything that goes on around you during trance; you’re just not interested in it.
•Hypnosis is not relaxation. That’s just an optimal starting point.
•Hypnosis is not being drugged. However, one can easily mimic a drugged state in hypnosis, provided you have previously felt the effects of that drug. Your body remembers. This is useful for pain control.
•Hypnosis is not involuntary. Just as no one can make you enjoy a movie that fails to entrance you, no one can make you remain in hypnosis. I typically teach my clients self hypnosis on the very first session so that they know for certain that they can emerge whenever they like. Anyone can emerge from hypnosis instantly by making that their intention.
How Does It Actually Happen?
Hypnotists use methods we call techniques. These include Guided Imagery, Rescuing Events, The Forgiveness Pyramid, Parts, The Spa of Your Inner Mind, Upgrades, and Higher Mind, to mention a few.
The Last Word
The media uses hypnosis on you all the time. Aaaalllllllll the time. Advertisers have been known to employ hypnotists to assess the hypnotic potential of a given advertisement, and pay good money for it.
Everytime you watch tv and enjoy it, you go into a state of trance. Ditto listening to music, going to the movies, watching a DVD, hearing talk radio, reading a magazine, and so forth. When you don’t like a particular type of music, that is expressly because it fails to put you into the trance you listen to music for.
So here comes the big duh. Why should media have all the fun? Please visit your friendly neighborhood trance specialist and use hypnosis to further your own goals.
Ah, hypnosis. So easy you can do it with your eyes closed.

Hypnosis – 7 Myths and Misconceptions
There are many myths and misconceptions out there about hypnosis. Hollywood portrays hypnosis in a way that is far different from reality. This feeds into the many misconceptions that are still present today.
The 7 most common hypnosis myths & misconceptions are:
1. Not everyone can be hypnotized
We go into hypnosis many times throughout our day, like when we are daydreaming, driving on the highway, or watching a movie. Hypnosis is simply a natural focused state of awareness. So the truth is that everyone can be hypnotized.
2. You are asleep during hypnosis
Even though the origin of the word hypnosis is derived from the Greek word “hypnos” which means sleep, you are awake and aware during hypnosis. In hypnosis, your conscious mind may drift, but you are not asleep. You typically remember much of what was said in a hypnosis session.
3. Hypnosis makes you lose control
The opposite is true, you actually gain control. Hypnosis is a focused state of awareness that allows you to control habits and change behaviors. The Hypnotist cannot make you do anything that you do not want to do.
4. You can get stuck in hypnosis
We naturally go into hypnosis many times in our life, and we naturally come out of it. You cannot get stuck in hypnosis.
5. You will tell all your secrets in hypnosis
You will not tell any secrets that you wouldn’t reveal while you were wide awake. Hypnosis is not a truth serum and you can actually lie under hypnosis.
6. Hypnosis is dangerous
Hypnosis is safe and natural. In fact, in 1958 a report published by an AMA advisory committee on hypnosis, stated: “The use of hypnosis has a recognized place in the medical armamentarium that is a useful technique in the treatment of certain illnesses…” .
7. Hypnosis is only for the weak-minded
Hypnosis is for anyone who wants to use the natural power of their subconscious mind to make positive changes in their life.

Using Hypnosis to Enhance Fertility
Hypnosis for Fertility is a process that serves to naturally enhance fertility and improve your chances of conception. At my practice in New York, we have seen the evidence first hand…babies.
Many couples who decide to undertake fertility treatments procedures are also interested in complimentary therapies that will enhance and support their ART (assisted Reproduction Technology). Hypnosis for fertility is a natural, complimentary therapy that is offered at the International Center for Positive Change and hypnosis in Manhattan New York. There is growing evidence to support hypnosis in the area of fertility. According to an Israeli study undertaken by Professor Eli Levitas at Soroka Hospital in Beersheva, conception at the transfer stage of an IVF treatment can be improved by undergoing hypnosis by a staggering 50%.
It seems that more and more, couples are turning to the medical profession when faced with having difficulty conceiving. I know that many of my friends have gone through this process, many successfully and now have wonderful babies and I also know a number of couples who have gone through insemination and IVF a number of times only to conceive when they “gave up” or “took a rest” from the stressful procedures.
There are many possibilities and reasons that can affect fertility in any couple’s attempt to have a successful pregnancy. If all health factors have been successfully ruled out, stress can be the main contributor to an inability to conceive and have a successful birth. Everyone I speak to either knows of a couple or nods in agreement when talking of “a couple who recently adopted and then found themselves pregnant naturally”. It seems to be quite a common story!
About a year ago a friend and her husband had been told by their doctor that their chances of conceiving naturally were quite slim, As a young healthy couple, they were quite shocked by this diagnosis and knowing that they both wanted a family, they decided to begin the cycle of ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) treatments as soon as possible.
One day when visiting them, my friend showed me all the literature and the huge pack of different sized needles and long list of medication that she had been given by her doctor and were necessary for the process. As we chatted it became apparent that each cycle involved almost daily visits to the doctor, multiple shots to be self administered at specific times and medications for her and her husband. “Our lives are going to be entirely consumed with this process” she said, “but we want this so much that we are prepared to go through with it and do what ever it takes”.
In the weeks that followed I could tell that my friends were becoming more and more stressed by the process. Their first “try” had not been successful and they were moving forward onto a different procedure which was more complex and invasive. Fortunately they had a wonderful, skilled doctor who explained the procedures clearly and always had a positive outlook and a humorous twinkle in his eye. Nevertheless, my friend was finding the whole process tiring and stressful, fitting in frequent doctors appointments around her work schedule, having to be home at certain times in order to do her shots and hoping after each procedure that this time it would be successful.
As a hypnotist I wondered what I could offer her to aid her situation. How could I help? What was there, over and above stress relief that I could do? Having searched online I found Lyndsi Eastburns “Hypnosis for fertility” site and I immediately ordered her book “It’s Conceivable” and became trained as a “hypnosis for fertility” specialist.
We set up a series of “hypnosis for fertility” sessions, (the first being 2 hour session) in my office in New York at the International Center for Positive Change and Hypnosis and during the first session, after a detailed backgfround discussion, I took my friend into a comfortable state of relaxation. Knowing how important it was to be able to use self-hypnosis for stress relief, I gave her a one breath trigger, a quick and simple way to be able to always be able to access this comfortable state. I then took her deeper into hypnosis and into a beautiful garden where there was an abundance of new growth. In further hypnosis sessions she traveled inside her body, to her uterus and here I suggested that she make this area welcoming, and very beautiful. I encouraged her to image herself in the future holding her beautiful newborn baby, with her husband at her side, to step into this picture and to fully realize it…to see what she could see, hear what she could hear and to feel what she could feel.
In further sessions we used EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to tap away her concerns about becoming pregnant and also used hypnosis to go to her inner “control room” in order to balance and enhance anything in her life that needed adjusting.
After just 5 sessions with me, my friend called to share the wonderful news that the IFV procedure had been successful and that she was pregnant!
Since this first success my Hypnosis for Fertility practice (located in Manhattan New York), has grown from strength to strength and my client base is increasing each month.
Using hypnosis to enhance fertility is becoming one of the most sought after complimentary additions to any ART procedures. It is non-invasive, relaxing and serves to give women control over their own bodies and minds at a time when they may be feeling that these natural events are being shaped by others. It is well known that there is a strong link between our minds and our bodies and by accessing our unconscious mind through hypnosis, negative emotions that may be blocking conception can be cleared and positive representations enhanced. Stress can take a huge toll on the body and the ability to control our own stress levels is vital particularly during IVF.
Professor Eliahu Levitas of Soroka hospital in Beersheva Israel, presented his findings to the European Human Reproduction and Embryology conference in Berlin in July of 2004. He concluded that hypnosis can double the success of IVF treatments. The study of 185 women found that 28% of the women in the group who were hypnotized became pregnant, compared with 14% of those who were not.
There are many different reasons why a woman may find it difficult to conceive. Using hypnosis you can begin a journey to find solutions and the wisdom and strength to embrace life fully.
Hypnosis for Fertility may also be a natural means of enhancing fertility, accelerating and complementing natural conception and many of my clients are choosing to come to me for hypnosis for fertility sessions, before taking any assisted reproduction technologies.
Just last month my friend gave birth to a very healthy bouncing baby boy. The joy of watching them achieve their heart’s desire, seeing them hold him in their arms and gaze at him with total love is a wonderful experience, and the knowledge that I was a part of their journey towards happiness brings joy to my heart.

Win Before Competing With Hypnosis
One thing that affects your sports performance on field is the fear of bad performance, or to put it simply, the fear of losing. Failure psychosis actually dogs one’s personality at every walk of life but it takes a winner to overcome it better than all others in the fray. In order to beat the fear, different sportspersons adopt different means – some ethical and some illegal. Blessed are those who naturally overcome their fears, however, the weak-hearted need not loose any hope for there are ways to avoid illegal means and still improve sports performance.
Hypnosis is there to help all sportspersons who are not only aiming for sports improvement but also looking for ways to brush aside the temptation of performance enhancing drugs to increase their chances of winning. Hypnosis does all this and much more through behavior modification quickly and easily! Hypnosis helps athletes and individuals by ingesting positive suggestions to the subconscious mind, which in turn, directs the conscious mind to act accordingly and banish all the negative thoughts. And once you know that your negative emotions are being dealt with effectively, it automatically improves the focus on field.
The beneficial effects of hypnosis are well accepted in almost every sport, like golf, baseball, football, skiing, mix martial arts etc. Positive thinking and positive self-talk has always been considered as particularly motivational for the sports people. Using hypnosis takes the positive change even deeper by doing the “rewiring” required at the unconscious level. If you somehow fail to lift your spirits on the field, few sessions with hypnotist could just about be ideal. What hypnotist does is actually what should come naturally to you. Hypnotist just fills the void.
Positive thinking automatically comes to the competitors. A negative competitor loses even before the competition has actually begun, and ultra-positive thinker wins before competing. Through sustained sessions of suggestions to the mind, the hypnotist resuscitates the positive winning attitude in the subconscious mind. The result is obvious. The subconscious mind directs the conscious mind, while on the field, to “just go for it, and forget about anything else!” This positive winning attitude translates into increased focus on the goal of winning. Overall, the sportsperson feels that he or she is in the zone and compete with anyone.
Unless you are mentally tough to challenge the better athletes, you cannot achieve anything physically. And hypnosis is perhaps, the best thing to have ever happened to an under-performing athlete. The confidence, the mental toughness, the right attitude, and the extra energy through positive suggestions could make all the difference.

And once you know that your negative emotions are being dealt with effectively, it automatically improves the focus on field.
The beneficial effects of hypnosis are well accepted in almost every sport, like golf, baseball, football, skiing, mix martial arts etc. Positive thinking and positive self-talk has always been considered as particularly motivational for the sports people. Using hypnosis takes the positive change even deeper by doing the “rewiring” required at the unconscious level. If you somehow fail to lift your spirits on the field, few sessions with hypnotist could just about be ideal. What hypnotist does is actually what should come naturally to you. Hypnotist just fills the void.
Positive thinking automatically comes to the competitors. A negative competitor loses even before the competition has actually begun, and ultra-positive thinker wins before competing. Through sustained sessions of suggestions to the mind, the hypnotist resuscitates the positive winning attitude in the subconscious mind. The result is obvious. The subconscious mind directs the conscious mind, while on the field, to “just go for it, and forget about anything else!” This positive winning attitude translates into increased focus on the goal of winning. Overall, the sportsperson feels that he or she is in the zone and compete with anyone.
Unless you are mentally tough to challenge the better athletes, you cannot achieve anything physically. And hypnosis is perhaps, the best thing to have ever happened to an under-performing athlete. The confidence, the mental toughness, the right attitude, and the extra energy through positive suggestions could make all the difference.
