What Makes them so Powerful?
The Theta State.
The Goldilocks state somewhere between awake and asleep.
Between consciousness and unconsciousness.
Where it’s easier to visualize, and your sense of creativity and intuition are enhanced.
Where our capacity to learn new information increases because our brains absorb information more easily.
It’s a natural state that every human experiences throughout our day.
You’ve been there when you drift in and out of sleep.
You’ve been there during creative or artistic activities.
It’s not new to us.
What IS new, is bringing mindfulness into this state.
Remaining consciously aware while you are there and using this state to your advantage.
This is the state that is induced by Hypnosis and sometimes Meditation.
The practice of Hypnosis is to consciously allow yourself to enter into that state while remaining mindful about being there.
Theta Brain Waves can be incredibly powerful for 2 reasons:
- You can consciously influence your subconscious mind.
- Subconscious information can come into conscious awareness.
Do you understand what that means?
Not only can we figure out why we are the way that we are, but we can influence our behaviour moving forward. Our subconscious mind dictates 95% of our behaviour, and the Theta state is where it is the most malleable.
When utilized correctly – this is one of the most powerful tools for Self-Development that we have available to us. Remember though, that this is not a state to be taken lightly, so unless you are guided by a professional, or have a thorough understanding of the subconscious mind, don’t be quick to experiment, as you could be doing yourself a disservice. Be patient with your practice and be open to learning more. This could be one of the best things you ever do for yourself.
