The Power Of Beliefs


Our beliefs form the basis of our reality and determine how well or how poorly we do in life. We have various beliefs instilled in us in childhood and throughout our lives, primarily by our family and education, but also from our friends, co-workers and the media and these beliefs become embedded in our sub-conscious mind directly affect our reality. Other deeper held beliefs can actually be passed on down the family line and these are so deeply woven into the fabric of who we are we may not even be aware of them.

Self limiting beliefs hold us back and stop us achieving our dreams and keep us from realizing our true potential. This usually occurs simply because we possess the belief that we will never succeed or that we are not good enough to be the person we want to be or to achieve the things that we want to achieve. Our consciousness and self image are distorted by these beliefs, whether we are consciously aware of it or not.

For success to manifest in any area of our lives we must first identify those limiting beliefs that are holding us back and inhibiting our ability to succeed. Just as you limit yourself based on negative beliefs, you will greatly empower your-self by replacing those limiting beliefs with positive ones.

The subconscious mind will accept both negative and positive views of what can and cannot be achieved with little regard for how helpful or not the information is. It does not differentiate between good or bad it just obeys.


So, change your beliefs and you change your life. It's as simple as that! No amount of affirmations will make a difference unless you address the core beliefs which you hold about yourself and the world around you.

Do not allow your mind to ruin something before it has a chance for success. However do be realistic when trying to achieve anything. Just having a blindly optimistic belief in something does not guarantee success. But it can be greatly enhance the chances that you will achieve what you want to achieve.

Easy Self Hypnosis


There are many ways in which to induce a hypnotic state. Whih is simply a deeply relaxed state of mind, where the body is still, and the subconscious mind assumes a more dominant role. This allows the therapeutic cognitive processes to be a highly effective method for reprogramming the mind in a positive way.

A hypnotic state is very simply created by;

- Focusing one’s attention on a single point.
- Relaxing the body and mind.
- Allowing unnecessary thoughts to simply drift away, without any attachment.

This process can be easily accomplished by the technique that follows. It is known as the “Eye Roll Technique’, and is a very old but powerful way of entering a safe therapeutic hypnotic trance. When in this relaxed state of mind, it is possible to offer oneself any positive suggestions or affirmations in order to bring about the changes which you desire. You can do this by recording these affirmations on to a dicta-phone or similar device prior to the exercise.

Examples of positive statements and affirmations are given further on but will depend on your own personal issues.

THE TECHNIQUE

Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed and either sit down or lie down comfortably.
Roll up your eyes, as if you were trying to look at your eyebrows.
Allow your eyelids to slowly close, and as you do so, take in a deep breath and hold it.

As you slowly exhale, allow your upturned eyes to return to their normal position.

As you finish exhaling, enjoy that gentle, floating sensation that you will experience.
At the same time, imagine your right hand to be very light, like it has a helium balloon tied to it making it rise gently. You may be surprised at the ease by which your hand and arm seem to float up by themselves.
This floating hand signal is a signal from your subconscious mind that you are entering a state of deep relaxation.

As you remain in this deeply relaxed, hypnotic state of mind, offer yourself any positive, therapeutic suggestions which you feel will help to bring about the changes you really want or need. It is probably best to focus on one or two areas at a time and not to try and achieve too much too quickly as this may leave you feeling disappointed if the changes do not materialize immediately.

Remain in this state for 10-20 minutes each time.

You can repeat the process as many times in a day as you like but you may want to limit it to 2 or 3 times per day as to give yourself time to process any suggestions you have given your sub- conscious mind.

EXITING THE TRANCE STATE

Roll up your eyes behind your closed eyelids.
Very slowly, allow your eyelids to open, and the eyes to focus.
Make a tight fist with your right hand, and as you do, allow this light floating hand to drift down into a comfortable position. As it comes to rest, release the tight fist and gently stretch those fingers.


It may take you a little time to perfect the technique, especially if you are the ‘on the go all the time’ sort of person. Relaxation comes easier to some people than to others, so always bear this in mind.

If you want to make positive changes in your life, this easy to learn technique can get great results in the end. The beauty of it is that once you have mastered the technique you will be able to enter a relaxed state f mind much more easily and deeply.

Another point to remember is that everyone is capable of entering into a hypnotic state.
But just as we are all different, so is the ease with which we enter into a hypnotic trance.
Some will succeed on their first or second attempt, where as others may need many more attempts. The motto is—PERSERVERE. It may take time, but the rewards are well worth the effort.

Living with Gratitude

Gratitude and appreciation of what we already have is essential if we are to lead a happy and fulfilled life, and if we are to manifest the things we want in life. Every day when you wake up you should be thankful for the good things that you already have, and for the people you have around you.
Many people around the world don’t have even basics like food, water and their own place to live and it's important to remember that. It’s only natural to want more out of life and to want to improve yourself and your situation but first you need to appreciate what you already have

Try to start your day with feelings of gratitude and hold on to that feeling all day.
Not only will you feel happier but you will begin to manifest more of the things that you desire.

This does not jut apply to material wealth but to realtionships, career and family life also. Always be grateful for what you have,stay focussed on the present moment and life will begin to change in miraculous ways.

Love and fear


There are only two basic emotions, love and fear. Anger, aggression, resentment and depression all stem from fear. Joy, happiness, kindness and compassion all have their roots in love. You can choose to live in fear or you can choose to live in love, it’s up to you. When I say love I do not mean romantic love but all the all encompassing unconditional love which is our true nature.
The best way to remove our fears is to face them fully and try to live with an attitude of love, compassion, forgiveness and gratitude. Be grateful for the small things in life, show compassion to every living thing, forgive yourself and others for past mistakes. By doing this you are cultivating postive emotions and raising your vibration, which in turn eliminates negative feelings and emotions.

Fear can stop you moving forward with your life and can lead to depression and other problems, which can in turn lead to physical health problems. The vast majority of people do not understand the correlation of their emotional health with their physical health and will often compound their health problems with negative thoughts and feelings. It becomes a vicious cycle and it can seem that problems just keep appearing. But it is vital to understand the role your thoughts and emotions play in this cycle, you must break the pattern and take control of your emotions and you will feel much happier and positive, and you will see an immediate improvement to your overall well-being.

It is important to understand that life is always in a cycle of ups and downs. No one is permanently up or permanently down. What we should do about these dark times is to learn from them, try not to avoid them and not to get stuck in them with negative thoughts and emotions which will only prolong the misery. Realise that it is you who is control of how you feel, no matter what is happening around you. Understand that it is you who shapes the world around you with your thoughts and emotions, what you feel, you project out into the universe and the universe projects it right back at you!
Make a choice to live with an attitude of love, and the universe will give you the same in return.
