Nobody likes the feeling of being out of control. After all, it sort of makes us feel powerless to make our own decisions. Therefore, we like to think that we perform every action in life on our own accord when nothing can be further from the truth.
Your see, your subconscious mind is a funny part of your brain. You actually need it to live, survive and grow as a human being. It stores a lot if useful information for us and actually makes us much more powerful than we give ourselves credit for. But remember that we called it "funny" for a reason.
Your subconscious mind can also be your worst enemy because it will decide things without using any constructive reasoning whatsoever. For example, it DOES NOT like change and it will fight you tooth and nail when it comes down to it. It will also prevail as the winner most of the time. This is exactly what happens when we try to quit a bad habit or make some type of life change. Although your conscious mind might be thinking, "this change is best for me" your subconscious mind is saying, "nope…I don’t like it or I won’t allow it."
Here is a prime example. You decide that want to do or change something in your life. So you might begin by researching different avenues to help you accomplish this goal. All the time while you are looking, researching, browsing and comparing different items or tools, your subconscious mind is filling your head with doubt. "That won’t work", "that is too expensive", "I need something different", "I am only going fail again", "maybe I should look elsewhere" are all examples of what you are hearing.
Now, many people reading this blog might be thinking that "THEY" are actually saying or thinking these things on their own, which in essence you really are. However, it is your subconscious mind that saying this to you and justifying your reasoning by making you feel at ease about doing the right thing so to speak. So in many cases you are truly not deciding for yourself.
It is exactly the same as how we know that smoking a cigarette is bad for us, but we will light it up because our subconscious mind makes us believe it will make us feel calm and relaxed. Or how our subconscious mind makes us feel like drinking alcohol will help us cope easier with life problems.
So at the end of the day after you have smoked those cigarettes and drank that alcohol, how much control did you really have to say NO to those things? You had just about as much control as you do when you really want to STOP doing those things but you can’t bring yourself to do so…very little control.
So if we have very little control, how can anyone actually change in life? The answer is simple. You have to teach yourself to ignore these inner messages as hard as it might seem, and you have to go for it! For example a person who is starting a business might ask himself or herself a million times before hand, "am I doing the right thing?" And although they may be having doubts they have to keep pushing forward and ignore these thoughts until finally they begin to see the positive results.
So in closing, although some decisions have good reasoning behind them such as refusing to try that Stop Smoking pill, which is known to have caused deaths, many decisions are automatically made for us such as using that Stop Smoking pill even though we know it has caused deaths. When your subconscious mind is misguided and lost, although it might take a little effort you can get it back on track. Only then will you be in total control of your actions.

I change my mind
Think of a time when you have tried to change or improve something in your life such as giving up cigarettes, losing weight, excising and more. Like most people, you probably purchased or used some kind of aid like diet pills, medications, a workout center membership or patches. Now, many of you most likely saw some pretty positive results for a period of time. However, you most likely ended up returning back to your old ways.
This is because when we try to change, we are trying to fix the physical action but doing nothing for the mental part which is actually the force that controls every single aspect of our lives right down to our decision making processes. And so although it is possible and even pretty easy to control the “here and now” part of our minds it is difficult to control the “recorded” elements that produce automatic actions.
Now, some folks reading this blog might be thinking “yeah right, I have total control over my own mind and what I do.” Think again! Here is a quick test you can perform right now as you are reading this blog. Raise your left or right arm up in the air, hold it up in the air for 5 seconds then put it back down. I’ll wait while you do this……..
Ok so you most likely had no problems performing this action. Great job!! Raising your arm and putting it down is an action that you have learned and have been doing almost since birth. And counting to 5 is also something that you learned at a young age. And so, all in all this was pretty easy for most people to do and this shows that you can control your actions with your mind right? We shall see…
Let’s move onto part 2 of the test. I want you to blink your eyes 5 times. All finished? Again for most people this should have proven to be a simple task and therefore, you have so far proven that you have very good control over your actions. EXCELENT!!!
Now here is part 3. You already know that you CAN control your arms and eyelid muscles with you mind because you were able to raise your arms and blink your eyes. Now, since you have total control over your actions, I want you to talk your mind into keeping your eyelids open without blinking. Remember that you used your mind to put your arm up and down and also to blink your eyes. So talking yourself into keeping your eyes open should be no problem. If or when you do blink your eyes you can continue reading on.
Ok, so if you are reading this next paragraph you failed the total mind control test because you told yourself not to blink your eyes yet you ended up doing so. What happened? Well, your mind basically told you to take a hike and decided on its own that it was not going to listen to your reasoning. And so, when your mind sensed that your eyes were getting dry, the automatic reaction caused you to blink no matter how determined you were to keep from doing so.
So let’s sum this all up. The mind records involuntary actions that will be needed in the future such as blinking your eyes, the beating of your heart, digesting food and more. Unfortunately, the definition of the word Habit is an acquired pattern of behavior that has become almost involuntary as a result of frequent repetition. Since habits like snacking on junk food, smoking cigarettes, fingernail biting and more become involuntary, you no longer need to tell your mind that you would like to perform these actions and they become second nature. The downside is that when it comes to a point when you want to stop doing these things, because they are now involuntary quitting is as difficult as keeping your eyes open without blinking.
This is the main reason why we so often hear people say that they had quit smoking for “X” number of years but started right back up again. Or that they lost “X” number of pounds but gained it all back. Quitting these habits with your mind alone make work for a while, however just like keeping your eyes open, your mind is going to keep saying “take a hike” until you finally give back into temptation. Now, we can try to rely on items that trick us. For example, stop smoking patches and gum supply us with nicotine and diet pills trick our minds into thinking that we are full. But using these items makes about as much sense as me constructing some kind of clamp to keep my eyelids from closing. Sure this clamp will keep them open while I am using it. However, as soon as I remove this clamp I will blink my eyes again. Therefore did I really fix anything?
The conclusion – while hypnosis does not truly “erase” involuntary actions, it does reprogram them so that the ending result is not the same. For example, I can’t erase eating from your memory but I can make it so that you crave carrot sticks instead of junk food when you get hungry. And I can’t erase cigarettes from your memory but I can make it so that instead of reaching for that smoke, instead you naturally reach for a glass of water or feel the urge to take a walk. So you see, this is why hypnosis works while other things fail. It gives us the opportunity to change where the habit truly lives…our minds.

What those dreams mean...
1. Dreaming can help you learn.
If you’re studying for a test or trying to learn a new task, you might consider taking a nap or heading to bed early rather than hovering over a textbook an hour longer. Here’s why: When the brain dreams, it helps you learn and solve problems, say researchers at Harvard Medical School. In a study that appeared in a recent issue of Current Biology, researchers report that dreams are the brain’s way of processing, integrating and understanding new information. To improve the quality of your sleep—and your brain’s ability to learn—avoid noise in the bedroom, such as the TV, which may negatively impact the length and quality of dreams.
2. The most common dream? Your spouse is cheating.
If you’ve ever woken up in a cold sweat after dreaming about your husband’s extramarital escapade with your best friend, you’re not alone, says Lauri Quinn Loewenberg, a dream expert, author and media personality. “The most commonly reported dream is the one where your mate is cheating,” she says. Loewenberg conducted a survey of more than 5,000 people, and found that the infidelity dream is the nightmare that haunts most people—sometimes on a recurring basis. It rarely has anything to do with an actual affair, she explains, but rather the common and universal fear of being wronged or left alone.
3. You can have several—even a dozen—dreams in one night.
It’s not just one dream per night, but rather dozens of them, say experts—you just may not remember them all. “We dream every 90 minutes throughout the night, with each cycle of dreaming being longer than the previous,” explains Loewenberg. “The first dream of the night is about 5 minutes long and the last dream you have before awakening can be 45 minutes to an hour long.” It is estimated that most people have more than 100,000 dreams in a lifetime.
4. You can linger in a dream after waking.
Have you ever woken up from such a beautiful, perfect dream that you wished you could go back to sleep to soak it all up (you know, the dream about George Clooney?)? You can! Just lie still—don’t move a muscle—and you can remain in a semi-dreamlike state for a few minutes. “The best way to remember your dreams is to simply stay put when you wake up,” says Loewenberg. “Remain in the position you woke up in, because that is the position you were dreaming in. When you move your body, you disconnect yourself from the dream you were just in seconds ago.”
5. Even bizarre dreams can be interpreted.
While it can be hard to believe that an oddball dream about your mother, a circus and a snowstorm can have any bearing on real life, there may be symbolism and potential meaning to be mined in every dream—you just have to look for it, says Harvard-trained psychotherapist Jeffrey Sumber. "The meaning of our dreams oftentimes relates to things we are needing to understand about ourselves and the world around us,” he says. Instead of shrugging off strange dreams, think about how they make you feel. “We tend to dismiss these dreams due to the strange components, yet it is the feeling we have in these dreams that matters most,” he explains. “Sometimes the circus and the snowstorm are just fillers that allow us to process the range of emotions we feel about our mother and give us the necessary distraction so we can actually experience that spectrum of emotion.”
6. Recurring dreams may be your mind’s way of telling you something.
Do you have the same nightmare over and over again? Loewenberg suggests looking for underlying messages in recurring dreams so that you can rid yourself of them. For example, a common recurring nightmare people have involves losing or cracking their teeth. For this dream, she recommends that people think about what your teeth and your mouth represent. “To the dreaming mind, your teeth, as well as any part of your mouth, are symbolic of your words,” she says. “Paying attention to your teeth dreams helps you to monitor and improve the way you communicate.”
7. You can control your dreams.
The premise of the new movie Inception is that people can take the reins of their dreams and make them what they want them to be. But it may not just be a Hollywood fantasy. According to the results of a new survey of 3,000 people, dream control, or “lucid dreaming” may be a real thing. In fact, 64.9 percent of participants reported being aware they were dreaming within a dream, and 34 percent said they can sometimes control what happens in their dreams. Taking charge of the content of your dreams isn’t a skill everyone has, but it can be developed, says Kelly Bulkeley, PhD, a dream researcher and visiting scholar at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkley, California. The technique is particularly useful for people who suffer from recurring nightmares, he says. Dr. Bulkeley suggests giving yourself a pep talk of sorts before you go to sleep by saying: “If I have that dream again, I’m going to try to remember that’s it’s only a dream, and be aware of that.” When you learn to be aware that you are dreaming—within a dream—you not only have the power to steer yourself away from the monster and into the arms of Brad Pitt, for instance, but you train your mind to avoid nightmares in the first place. “Lucid dreaming enhances your ability to learn from the dream state,” says Dr. Bulkeley.
8. You don’t have to be asleep to dream.
Turns out, you can dream at your desk at work, in the car, even at your kid’s soccer game. Wakeful dreaming—not to be confused with daydreaming—is real and somewhat easy to do, says Dr. Bulkeley; it just involves tapping into your active imagination. The first step is to think about a recent dream you had (preferably a good one!). “Find a quiet contemplative place and bring a dream that you remember back into your waking awareness and let it unfold,” he says. “Let the dream re-energize.” Wakeful dreaming can be used as a relaxation tool, but Dr. Bulkeley says it can also help your mind process a puzzling dream. “It creates a more fluid interaction between unconscious parts of the mind and wakeful parts of the mind,” he says.

Do we control our mind…or does it control us?
As human beings, we like to think that we are always in total control of all our actions and thoughts. After all, accepting otherwise would make us feel vulnerable or maybe even weak to some degree. So how much control do we really have? The answer may surprise you. The reason for this blog post is to conduct a little experiment, which will show you just how little control we have over what we think and do.
For the sake of our experiment we are going to assume that you are visiting our website because you have a real genuine interest in seeking hypnosis treatment with us. This is to exclude visitors who are looking to send us marketing messages or our competitors who are checking up on our prices and service options. Therefore, you are a real person who wants to change or improve something in your life and you happened upon our hypnosis website.
So for the genuine help seeker, right now as you browse through our website you are automatically entering a hypnotic state. This hypnotic state is having a mental tug of war within your mind and this is all happening without your consent or knowledge. Let’s go into more detail.
You see, we are not always in total control of what is going on in our minds. In fact, many times our mind is making decisions for us and we have very little say so in what happens. Now, some decisions protect us from harm and are good while other decisions are clouded and are not so good. For example, people who smoke, drink alcohol excessively, do drugs or maybe snack on junk food all know that these things are harmful and wrong. Yet they continue to do them but why?
The reason why is because of our subconscious mind. With the exception of human survival instincts, which are genetically coded for us at birth, our subconscious mind really doesn’t do a great job at determining right from wrong. It simply records then plays back what it has already learned either from genetics, habits or from repetition.
Now, our mind is not without reasoning capabilities altogether. In fact we often make up plenty of reasons for doing something especially when we know it is bad for us. Some examples of positive reasoning are “smoking relaxes me” or “having a few drinks a day helps me cope with my daily stress”. This creates a partnership of doing something, which we know to be bad, and enforcing it with a good reason for doing it.
Once this partnership of habit and justification is bonded it is near to impossible to overcome because we now have a good reason for doing something that we know to be wrong. Presto, we have now successfully hypnotized ourselves into believing that there is a positive side to something negitive, which creates a reversal effect. “I am going to smoke this cigarette that I know is harmful, but it is going to calm me down and relax me” is a complete reversal of what you should be thinking which is “this cigarette is bad for me so I am NOT going to smoke it.”
And since the mind will always err on the side of what is good, since you have convinced yourself that smoking helps you, your mind now believes that it is making the right choice to smoke even though we know it to be wrong. And there you have it…your subconscious mind wins again while your body or health pays the price.
Thus far, do you still believe that you are in 100% total control of all your thoughts and actions?
Okay, let’s go one step further…
Is Hypnosis working for you or against you? Remember this question because it means a lot more than what is written. So again, assuming that you are here because you are seriously considering hypnosis for treatment as noted above, this mental tug of war is going on in your mind and the mind will always choose what it feels to be good, safe, secure or best for you.
So right now your mind is weighing all the options of going through with hypnosis by justifying all the pros and cons that we outlined below. Now, these are not actual pros and cons of using hypnosis but rather, they are some of the things that are most likely going through your own mind right now based upon past experience and what you believe to be right.
Pros:
Hypnosis may just help me out with my problem/issue
Cons:
My friends may laugh at me
I will just join a gym to lose weight
Hypnosis is too expensive
I don’t drink all that much
This stuff doesn’t work
I am not ready to change
I can’t be hypnotized
Maybe I will try that stop smoking patch or gum
I can quit smoking on my own
I will shop around for other websites
Those diet pills will work better
I don’t have the money right now
I tried hypnosis and it didn’t work
My family is going to think it is silly
I am afraid of being hypnotized
So based on the information above, which choice do you think you would normally make? Well, we will tend to bet that there is a good chance that we will not hear from you. And so what has happened is that you came here looking for hypnosis and ironically…hypnotized yourself right out of it. Since you mind reads the “cons” list above as positive reasons, you make the choice not to help yourself knowing that it was the wrong choice, just like when we light up that cigarette knowing it is the wrong choice.
Going back to our statement above “is hypnosis working for you or against you” the true meaning is this. The people who visit our page looking for hypnosis and decide “I will” have developed enough control over their minds to follow through with their intentions while ignoring the negitive suggestions that are trying to talk them out of it. Therefore, since they have developed the ability to follow through with what the know is right, hypnosis will work FOR them and they will be successful at changing.
In closing, lighting up that cigarette while knowing it is wrong proves that we don’t always have full control over our actions and that the minds often talks us into and out of things. Our own human hypnotic states exist and they are there working away every day. So you just need to decide if you are going to start to control it, or if you are going to continue to let it control you.

I don’t have the money right now
I tried hypnosis and it didn’t work
My family is going to think it is silly
I am afraid of being hypnotized
So based on the information above, which choice do you think you would normally make? Well, we will tend to bet that there is a good chance that we will not hear from you. And so what has happened is that you came here looking for hypnosis and ironically…hypnotized yourself right out of it. Since you mind reads the “cons” list above as positive reasons, you make the choice not to help yourself knowing that it was the wrong choice, just like when we light up that cigarette knowing it is the wrong choice.
Going back to our statement above “is hypnosis working for you or against you” the true meaning is this. The people who visit our page looking for hypnosis and decide “I will” have developed enough control over their minds to follow through with their intentions while ignoring the negitive suggestions that are trying to talk them out of it. Therefore, since they have developed the ability to follow through with what the know is right, hypnosis will work FOR them and they will be successful at changing.
In closing, lighting up that cigarette while knowing it is wrong proves that we don’t always have full control over our actions and that the minds often talks us into and out of things. Our own human hypnotic states exist and they are there working away every day. So you just need to decide if you are going to start to control it, or if you are going to continue to let it control you.

GUIDED IMAGERY IS HIGHLY EFFECTIVE AT REDUCING HOT FLASHES
Two years of results show that hypnosis (or ‘guided imagery’) is highly effective at reducing the severity and frequency of hot flashes. This approach is effective with both Menopausal women and those with hot flashes driven by medical conditions.
The approach has been so effective with hot flashes caused by post-breast cancer medication that we have undertaken a study with several physicians at Women and Infants hospital.
For most women two to three sessions are all that are needed to dramatically reduce hot flashes. In many cases excellent results are achieved using recorded discs.
See the case study below:
Information provided by:
Women and Infants Hospital of Rhode Island
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:
NCT00711529
Premenopausal women with breast cancer who receive endocrine therapy (e.g. tamoxifen) and/or chemotherapy are at risk for experiencing premature menopause because of their treatment. The resulting symptoms, most notably hot flashes, can cause significant detriment to a patient's quality of life. Treatment for menopausal symptoms with the gold standard of hormone replacement therapy is not done routinely as it is unclear whether it can increase risk of tumor recurrence. In addition, many medical oncologists feel it is contraindicated in this population, especially among women whose breast cancers have estrogen receptors. This has lead to an increased interest in options other than estrogen replacement in the treatment of hot flashes, though most investigations of alternative medications have shown a suboptimal response.
Recent studies have suggested that non-drug treatments using alternative or complementary therapies may be effective. Specifically, hypnosis has been promoted as a means to control hot flashes, though it has not been tested in a randomized fashion. In accordance with the National Cancer Institute's recent initiatives to expand the goals of clinical trials to include symptom management studies, our purpose is to evaluate the role of complementary and alternative therapies for improvement of symptoms in women with breast cancer. Specifically, we plan to evaluate the use of hypnotherapy for the treatment of therapy-induced hot flashes in breast cancer survivors. We intend to recruit 60 women into a pilot feasibility trial comparing hypnotherapy to the drug gabapentin (Neurontin®) for the treatment of therapy-induced hot flashes in eligible women who are receiving care at the Breast Health Center. We have chosen gabapentin based on recent studies showing it may be an effective non-estrogen treatment for this indication.
We will identify patients who are experiencing at least one daily hot flash as a result of the treatment they received for their breast cancer for participation. When enrolled, they will be randomized into either the treatment arm, in which they will receive daily gabapentin, or the experimental arm, in which they will undergo weekly hypnotherapy.
Our study hypothesis is that hypnotherapy will be more effective than gabapentin in the control of hot flashes in this population.

Willpower Is a Mental Workout
For example, when subjects were told not to eat chocolates sitting right in front of them, their persistence in puzzle solving deteriorated. When they were told to suppress an emotional reaction to a movie, they had problems solving a solvable anagram.
This is the overwhelming reason why willpower only works in the short term. You only have the conscious resources to exhibit willpower on one (or at the most two) fronts at one time. This is why it is SO HARD to stay disciplined with eating, exercise, setting new goals, studying, and the like.
Any self-regulatory strategy has costs with respect to depleting a person’s general resources for self-regulation.
Accomplishing Goals without Depleting Willpower
Willpower works in your conscious mind because you are constantly thinking about the change that you are trying to accomplish. Now, your conscious mind is only able to process approximately 50 bits of information a second, while your unconscious mind processes approximately 11 million bits per second. That means your unconscious mind processes information about 220 THOUSAND TIMES FASTER than your conscious mind.
Much of the time, your conscious mind is actually the bottleneck towards effecting true change, as its main role is getting you through the day in the "here and now" and setting long term goals. Researchers call this “Executive Control.
The Trick Is to Have the Triggers for Your Desired Behaviors Reside in Your Unconscious Mind
For example, if your goal is weight control, you would naturally want your unconscious mind to automatically desire healthy green foods, water, healthy portions, exercise, etc. without having to think about it consciously. Think about it for a moment. Non-smokers don't have the urge to smoke because they are not sitting there thinking about cigarettes the whole day. So if a smoker could erase cigarettes from their mind, they too would naturally not feel the urge to smoke.
In addition, if your goal is to be more productive, you would want the actions of setting goals, rewarding yourself for success and focusing on your projects to be automatic. If you have to consciously think about it all the time, you will exhaust your resources.
If your goal is to have a better relationship, you would want to somehow program in natural triggers for listening, paying attention, giving space, and showing empathy, instead of always having to think about them.
So there you have it. Things seem to be a whole lot easier when we automatically think about them in a certain way. That is why hypnosis is such a great tool. It not only helps to erase our negitive behaviors, but you can also insert positive ones as well.

Hypnosis is Used in Study of Emotions
There is a lot still to be learned about emotions. Approximately 20 years ago, researchers were under the impression that emotions and feelings originated with the heart, not the brain. They also believed that emotions could not be measured with scientific research. In more recent years, researchers have found that emotions can play a major role in a person's overall health. A non-invasive way to study feelings and emotions is through the use of hypnotherapy and brain images (Brain & Emotions Research).
Feelings and emotions are created from one's own perception. When a person feels a specific emotion, it is usually triggered by a thought and this thought is triggered by a past experience. This process can occur consciously or unconsciously without a person realizing it. Examples of emotions include happiness, joy, and contentment which are all positive emotions. Negative emotions include fear, anger, and pain.
Basically, there are good emotions and bad emotions. Emotions reside in the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind tells the conscious mind how to feel. Of course, people would rather feel good emotions instead of bad emotions. The subconscious mind can be accessed using hypnosis to change negative emotions into positive emotions
One study looked at hypnotic suggestion, emotions, and pain. Hypnotic suggestion was used to induce specific emotions. Then, the researchers looked at how the various emotional states affected pain. They found negative emotions such as fear and sadness increased the level of perceived pain in participants. However, when positive emotions were hypnotically induced, the positive emotions that resulted were static and did not continue to increase. The significance of this study is that certain emotions can be created with hypnosis without side effects. The induction of hypnosis gives more control to the researcher and does not create secondary emotions.
Other studies have used hypnosis on the study of emotions using both highly suggestible and low suggestible participants. When highly suggestible participants were given hypnotic suggestions to be 'emotionally numb' or unaffected by either positive or negative emotions, researchers found that they were not susceptible to the emotions and that the hypnotic suggestions were able to produce a numbing affect on their emotions. When comparing highly suggestible people to low suggestible people, the highly suggestible participants experience more emotional numbing (Rainville, 2002).
The study of hypnotic suggestions plays a positive role in studying the science of emotions. It gives researchers control over what emotions to induce. By studying both highly suggestible people and low suggestible people, it gives researchers greater insight into the study of emotion.

Are you a Scatterbrain?
When you forget a face or can't find your car keys, it's not because your brain is out of storage space. You just aren't filtering out other thoughts well enough, a new study finds.
The research contradicts a popular notion that memory capacity is solely dependent on how much information you can cram into your noggin.
Rather, it shows that if you can disregard some of what you see, you'll do a better job remembering the visual input you deem important.
Researchers measured brainwaves as objects popped into the minds of the test subjects, who watched colored rectangles appear on a computer screen. In one experiment, researchers told the subjects to focus on two red rectangles and ignore two blue ones.
Without exception, one group had all the rectangles in mind, while another group of individuals -- who were already deemed to have high memory capacity -- consistently excelled at dismissing the blue rectangles.
"People differed systematically, and dramatically, in their ability to keep irrelevant items out of awareness," said study leader Edward Vogel of the University of Oregon.
Vogel thinks of this ability to focus as akin to having a thought bouncer in the brain, managing crowd control. The results, detailed in the Nov. 24 issue of the journal Nature, suggest ways to improve memory abilities.
"Being 'scatterbrained' is often a symptom of a hectic modern life in which we are often overcommitted, overworked, and inundated with information," Vogel told LiveScience. "Given such an environment, it would not be surprising if many of our important cognitive control processes become overtaxed and less efficient. Attentional training may be able to improve one's ability to bounce irrelevant information from awareness."
Not that the lack of a bouncer is necessarily bad thing.
"There may be advantages to having a lot of seemingly irrelevant information coming to mind," Vogel points out. "Being a bit scattered tends to be a trait of highly imaginative people." But wouldn’t it be nice to at least have some control over this?
So, I believe that this is yet another great example of how hypnosis can help people. By utilizing simple relaxation induction’s, that alone can help wipe away cluttered thoughts, which in turn can help increase memory abilities and open many doors to a whole new change in peoples’ lives.

The Power of the Subconscious Mind
Think of the subconscious mind as the storage room of everything that is currently not in your conscious mind. It stores all your previous life experiences, your belief system, your memories, your skills, all situations you've been through, and all images you've ever seen. The best way to understand the subconscious mind is through the example of someone who's just started to learn how to drive a car.
At the beginning, he or she might hardly be able to hold a conversation with anyone while driving as they would be focusing entirely on the different moves involved with driving. That's because they are using their conscious mind to drive.
But within a few weeks, the driving process would begin to become automatic without having to do any thinking. Suddenly over a short period of time, the driver may even being performing other tasks such as using a cell phone or talking to passengers while they are driving. This is on account of the fact that the driving information or the process of driving has been transferred to the subconscious mind and so the conscious mind is free to function on something else, like talking or using a cell phone.
Sadly, this also contributes to the reason why most car accidents happen within 3 to 5 miles of your home. While driving within this radius, since it has become so routine or second nature, your conscience mind becomes so unaware of the actual task of driving, that it hardly even focuses on driving aspect at all.
In fact automobile insurance companies know this. That is why they may actually charge you more money and not less if you tell them that you only drive a few miles locally.
Now just the same as recording helpful information like driving, the subconscious mind also records not so nice things as well. For example, when you were a child, your main source of knowledge was your parents. If your parents pointed out an animal and told you that it was called a dog you immediately believed them. And since you also found that everyone around you supported this idea, it turned into a strong belief.
But what if your parents kept telling you that you were fool or dumb? What would be the result? Well, the result would be that you would grow up thinking that it's true, and you may end up feeling inferior without even knowing that this was the root cause for your feelings of inferiority.
Now, you may be asking yourself, what could be strengthening this belief? This time it would be you. Your subconscious mind would just pick every clue that supports this belief while ignoring everything else. For example, if someone rejected you the first thing that you would think of is that the reason why you were rejected must have been because you are dumb or a fool.
So how do we get rid of the bad items? Well, when you become hypnotized your conscious mind filters will get turned off. Doing so allows for creating new suggestions to replace the bad suggestions in your subconscious mind.
Going back to our driving example, when the information about driving is stored into your subconscious, it's stored as a program. Think of your mind as a computer and the driving information as software that can be run automatically whenever needed. The same goes for lots of other activities and emotions. Think of the case of someone shouting at you. The installed program of anger is launched and the result is a reactive behavior. Now your automatic reaction will depend on your programming. This programming may react by walking away or shouting back.
Through programming the subconscious mind with new programs, you can fix many problems in your personality, almost like removing a computer virus with virus removal software. Programming your subconscious can be done through hypnosis. The subconscious mind learns by repetition and not by logic. That is why you can convince someone to believe in something by repeating your argument again and again rather than using logic. Once the suggestion is repeated a few times, it becomes programmed into your subconscious mind and becomes second nature, just like driving a car.
