You are getting very sleepy –the power of hypnosis.

You gaze into a spiraling print – a soft voice keeps saying, “You are getting very very sleepy – soon you will shut your eyes.” Ah – the myth of hypnosis, as kids we watched it on “Buggs Bunny,” as teenagers the villain hypnotized the unsuspecting victim into doing something they did not want to do. Many of us have witnessed the stage magician putting a person into a trance and making then cluck like a chicken.
We laugh – and joke about these things –because they are so comical. Yet unknowingly we are hypnotized everyday – by others and by ourselves.
“You deserve a break today,” we hear it – and then a short time later we get in the mood for a “Big Mac.” The tough macho man on the billboard is smoking a Marlboro – we reach into our pocket and pull out a cigarette. Advertisers have been using catchy phrases – and repetition for years. They aren’t interested in speaking to your conscious mind – they want to reach your subconscious. They know – if they connect to the subconscious –the conscious will follow. And it does.
We do it to ourselves also – by building false beliefs and reinforcing them. Years ago, for some unknown reason I decided microwave ovens emitted rays that where unhealthy for me. At work I would be enjoying my lunch – and then a co-worker would walk in and pop his lunch in the microwave, turn it on and leave. My heart always started fluttering- I started to get sick to my stomach. I started resenting this co-worker; I really didn’t understand why he couldn’t wait for his lunch break to heat up his food – by then I would be gone and therefore not submitted to the harmful rays.
One day he came in – through his food in and walked out. As usual my heart fluttered, my stomach turned – I felt dizzy. About five minutes later, he returned to the break room and turned the machine on. I had “hypnotized myself into the false belief that this machine was harmful to me – and the physical symptom followed.
Silly? Absolutely! Yet we do it all the time. We do it concerning race, sexual preferences, religion. We convince ourselves “some people” just aren’t any good.
We do this to ourselves. “I will never have a good job,” “I don’t have any friends,” “I am never lucky, “love has passed me by,” the list goes on. The more we repeat – the more it becomes engrained into our existence.
The good news is that we can undo this. We can change the way we think – which will change the way we are.
If we put more loving thoughts – more accepting thoughts into our lives; our behavior will change. We will start seeing the beauty in gay people, different religious beliefs – our whole world will change.
When we start thinking with abundance – as opposed to lack; we will find more of the things we want will start showing up in our lives – more money, better employment opportunities, and friends – love.
The key is to understand what we put in our minds will manifest in our lives. The more positive our thoughts are the more positive the outcome will be.
Through affirmations and changing the way you think – you can hypnotize yourself into the life you desire.
Now for the secret – if you don’t believe this will work – you are absolutely 100% correct.
