The Mind

At the outset, let us take a look at how the human mind works. Our mind is composed of the conscious  mind (10%) and subconscious mind(90%). Most of the time, it is the conscious mind which controls our reactions, body functions, thought process, etc. The vast resource of the subconscious mind remains unexplored. The subconscious  is 6000 times more powerful than the conscious  mind. Hypnotherapy takes us to the depths of the subconscious mind, which holds the key to identifying the root cause of our limitations.    Most of our conscious decisions, like, our body movements, our thoughts, and emotions are governed by our conscious mind which is merely, as aforementioned, 10%. The vast resource of the subconscious mind is more or less left underutilized throughout our lives. This part of our mind holds to key to most of our weaknesses, phobias, negative thoughts and habits. Some of the causes are in the modern memory (Present Life), however, majority of them lie buried. Many physical complaints, fears, phobias, compulsions, preferences, dislikes and personality traits in the present life originate from former lives (Fiore, 1978). Why do we at times feel sudden hatred or love for someone, something, or someplace immensely without any rhyme or reason? According to Newton- "To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction." (Third Law of Motion) Hatred or love in the above case is a reaction.  If we don’t happen to remember the immediate cause of our rather sudden intense reaction,  the roots, for sure, lie somewhere deeper - in this case, our subconscious mind- the storehouse of our previous lifetime memories.

Even the thought of a delicious dish may make our mouths water. In this case what is the communication that takes place inside the subconscious mind? The thought-body of the mind influences the emotional-body, which in turn influences the energy-body. It is this energy-body which brings about the reaction (in this case mouth-watering) in the physical body. This is how our mind reacts to each and every experience that it goes through. This experience in turn is stored in the huge storehouse of the subconscious mind. Every time we go through a similar experience, we react in the same way as the behaviour pattern/belief system stored in the subconscious mind.

There are four components in the various phases of life which form our belief system. They are : thought emotion energy physical body These four components creating the  belief system become set patterns in our consciousness which  manifests similar experiences for us over and over again. This is where we become a prisoner of our own thoughts. For, the set pattern of belief in our subconscious mind then becomes the driving force  to make our reactions compulsively repetitive to the similar experiences we keep drawing in our life, which is a vicious circle victimising us. The irony here is we become imprisoned by our own cyclic thoughts and reactions. Hypnotherapy helps in breaking these cyclic patterns we experience by altering our thoughts and by re-programming or discarding our previous set of belief systems and patterns, thus freeing us of the prison of our own making.

Hypnotherapy infact goes a step ahead by not just breaking the pattern but also by eradicating and healing the root cause of the whole cycle, thus being an efficient tool of transformation for the personality as a whole.
