Hypnosis

"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored." (Aldous Huxley)

All hypnosis is self hypnosis.

In changing human moods / thoughts / feelings and behaviors, we will begin with a change of awareness.

Your mindfulness to self and relational activities results in previously unobserved or ignored feelings / thoughts / moods and behaviors becoming self apparent.

Your insight orientation ideally unfolds with spontaneous change of decision, or multiple decisions, and a corresponding change of behavior because:

your eyes are seeing clearly,

your ears are hearing more accurately,

your feelings are engaging in positive outcomes,

your senses of smell and taste are aligned with pleasurable, nourishing, healthy experiences

and the focus of YOUR INTENT is clarifying more fully with each breath, with every heartbeat.

"Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence." (President John Adams)

With self defined objectives, the aim of the mind can be more concisely targeted, the behavior can achieve the desired outcomes.

"In the long run men only hit what they aim at." (David Henry Thoreau)

As You learn methods for integrating previously unnoticed sensory based reality into your decisions and choices, you are more fully harnessing the resourcefulness of your mind power.

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” (Viktor Frankl)

As you develop more fluidity in using clear perceptions and awareness of choices / options / decisions and desired outcomes, you move toward what you prefer, move away from the old patterns you have outgrown, setting and achieving your goals and dreams.

“Hope” is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all - (Emily Dickson, 1891, "Hope" is the Thing with Feathers).

That which is perceived can be achieved.
