What Is Hypnosis? Hypnosis has long been associated with the strange and mysterious, with sideshows and faith healers. But in the 21st century the truth isn't the least bit mysterious or supernatural. In fact, you have been in a hypnotic state literally thousands of times. You didn't notice it because it seemed such a natural state of mind. And the hypnotic state is natural for all humans and many animals. Chances are, at one time or another, you have found yourself driving along a familiar freeway past your exit, or perhaps you suddenly became aware of yourself behind the wheel and wondered where you were going. Occurrences such as these are common. To understand what makes these occurrences possible, first you need to understand that everything you have learned is stored in your subconscious. Because you have already learned to drive, your driving skill is stored in your subconscious. As you begin your journey, you get in your car, maneuver out onto the freeway, move into a continuous flow of traffic, and reach a consistent speed. Now your conscious is free to engross on any thoughts it wishes. Subconscious beliefs become like an unspoken law. Your inner mind adopts ideas implanted in it and directs your life accordingly, much like computer software can produce only what's in the program. Change is a matter of entering new information into the program and rescripting your subconscious mind. It involves replacing old negative beliefs that hold you back with a new set of thoughts that will propel you toward your goals and desires. When your internal belief system changes, you'll see remarkable transformation in your life. When your subconscious is relaxed, it is possible to speak directly to and influence your subconscious. This technique has been used successfully to accomplish record-breaking performances and achieve lifelong goals. What you imagine you can achieve.
