Who's in control of your MIND??

We have all heard the expression “A mind is a terrible thing to waste”!!

So what does this mean? This suggests that the mind is physical in some way, that if you don’t use it, it will waste away just like muscle groups not exercised on a regular basis. We like to think of the mind as the part of the body that controls everything. Wouldn’t this make the mind the same as the brain?

If this is true and the mind and brain are one and the same, then it stands to reason that the mind has to be physical in some way. Scientists have been trying to prove this since Rene Descartes took his philosophical starting point statement “I think, therefore I am.” Many have tried none have yet succeeded.

Many scientists today have taken the view that the brain controls the body and they see the brain as a machine hardwired to respond to internal and external stimulus. Like a computer programmed algorithmically ready to react in a predictable way. We all know that human beings are anything but predictable.

The only predictable thing about us is that we are UNPREDICTABLE!!

Does this mean that if we are unpredictable, that maybe the brain does not control everything about us? Maybe our minds are not in our brains at all but somewhere else altogether. Maybe our minds are the accumulation of all that is physical, emotional and spiritual about us. Maybe it’s the accumulation of everything that we have experienced to date. So what is the answer? I believe this is a question that each of us must answer in our own way at our own pace.

I think it’s safe to assume that the mind really does not exist in a physical sense. It’s akin to a wave on the ocean that moves across vast greatness but has no physicality of its own. The mind as we like to refer to it, many times will be substituted for the conscious self, subconscious self and for those of you who believe in a higher conscious, it sometimes sits in for that one too.

The big question is “does the mind control us or do we control the mind”?

In the western world we tend to believe that our conscious self is our mind and that everything that influences our conscious self makes us who we are.

What if we were to learn that we are more then just our conscious self and that because of this, anything that affects us at the conscious level can’t penetrate the deeper levels of consciousness unless we allow it to do so? In keeping with the wave analogy, imagine yourself as body of water and a storm is fast approaching. Once the storm hits, the surface of the water becomes rough with waves and anyone on the water gets tossed around and should seek shelter. However, as you go deeper into your body of water, you will find the affects of the storm lessen and eventually if you go deep enough you won’t even know that there is a storm at all.

What I am trying to say is:

We are in control of ourselves at all times and no matter how hard others try; we can only be influenced if we want to be. If we allow these influences to filter down through all our depths into our deeper selves. When you begin to realize that you are in control of your mind not the other way around, you begin to see the possibilities. If I control my mind at all levels of consciousness, then this must also mean that I am in control of my actions. If I’m in control of my actions, then should I choose to stop acting in a certain way my mind will have no choice but to obey my decision.

At this point your probably saying to yourself, this is all great but how do I apply this to me?

The answer to your question is HYPNOSIS!!

Hypnosis is a natural process that has been used for centuries to help us become the individuals we want to be. A hypnotherapist can guide you through the process empowering personal growth and promoting self control. You will make the positive changes that you want to make. You will also learn to use self-hypnosis to successfully accomplish your goals permanently and effortlessly. Remember a mind truly is a terrible thing to waste!

So take the first step by trying hypnosis and begin to take back control of your MIND
