The question of whether hypnosis is real or not has been a hot topic of discussion for over 200 years.

Exciting new research in the field of brain studies is now settling the argument once and for all!

Read a Good Book Lately: Then, Welcome to Hypnosis!

If you’ve ever lost yourself while reading a really good book, you’ve already been :::this::: close to hypnosis.

When you’re really into a book what happens?

   a) You feel incredibly relaxed,

   b) Have an amplified sense of imagination, and

   c) You are highly suggestible (more open to receiving and acting upon the suggestions of others, like the story the author is telling you).

Guess what? This is exactly what happens during hypnosis. It’s known as a trance state.

Going Deep! Your Subconscious Mind in Action

To understand what’s going on in a trance state, we need to first define the difference between conscious and subconscious mind states.

Your conscious mind is associated with the left hemisphere of your brain. It is your “control center,” and it operates on deduction, reasoning and convention. It tells you what’s possible and not possible based on your past experiences.

On the other hand, your subconscious mind is aligned with the right side of your brain, which is responsible for creativity, freedom, and emotion.  

It is more holistic, emotive, and universal. It solves Big Picture problems. It allows you to go beyond “reason,” and frees you from convention.

Researchers believe that trance states are activated when you are able to circumvent the inhibitions and walls set up by your conscious mind and begin accessing the subconscious.

More specifically, when you can “short circuit” the inhibitions and “can’ts” that your conscious mind has set up, you can do many of the things that are associated with truly therapeutic hypnosis, e.g., break addictions, overcome phobias, work through deep-seated emotional issues (psychiatric hypnotherapy), ease chronic pain (medical hypnotherapy), and even solve crimes (forensic hypnosis is fascinating field of study being explored by law enforcement agencies now).

Scanning Rhythms: Your Brain Can’t Lie

But, is there science to support this hypothesis?

Using electroencephalographs, or EEGs, experts studying the effects of hypnosis on the cerebral cortex have documented that activity in the left hemisphere of the cerebral cortex decreases during hypnosis. At the same time, brain activity in the right hemisphere increases.

Why is this important? It shows that hypnosis is able to pacify the conscious mind and its logical and “limiting” functions.

At the same time, it also shows that the subconscious mind – with its creativity, emotiveness, imagination – takes control.

These findings prove that something researchers long believed to be true about the effects of hypnosis are indeed accurate.

“A Trance State Sounds Pretty Awesome: How Can You Turn It On?”

Okay, so how does hypnosis activate this trance state?

Researchers believe that hypnosis calms your left brain and conscious mind. With your logical-self taken out of the picture, you’re more able to directly connect with your subconscious mind.

In this state, you are highly suggestible. In other words, you’re able to believe, enact, and go for things that your conscious, logical mind might have kept you from believing you could do.

It allows you to free yourself from convention, from being limited based on the outcomes of your past experiences, and to experience the world and yourself in it in new and powerful ways.

For example, hypnosis can help boost your confidence, increase your brain power, aid in weight loss, increase your money-making potential, and take you to places you never believed you could go (much like that feeling you have when you’re reading a great book).

By short circuiting long-held self-beliefs and deep-seated behavioral patterns, hypnosis can often deliver real-world results that simply cannot be achieved in any other way… all because your brain allows you to believe in yourself in new and empowered ways.

Sites like Hypnosis Bootcamp offer great resources for anyone looking to learn more about the current benefits and newest applications of hypnosis.

As we are just now discovering, the world of hypnosis is able to unlock doors beyond our comprehension … but still within the reach of science.

To be sure, this is an exciting time to be alive!

By Dr. Steve G. Jones, creator of Total Money Magnetism 

Did you know that one of the biggest reasons why most people don’t get the wealth and the life they want is that they don’t actually KNOW what they want?

It’s true.

Although you may think you want to be wealthy and successful, the truth is that majority of people actually spend more time thinking about what they DON’T want rather than what they DO want.

For example, have you ever had any of these thoughts?

• “I don’t want to be poor”
• “I hate being in debt”
• “I don’t want to be paying rent forever”
• “I’m tired of struggling”
• “I don’t want my kids to go without”
• “I don’t want to be a failure”

Yes, most of us have had these kind of thoughts before…

And the problem is that focusing on what you don’t want actually prevents you from attracting wealth in your life.

Instead of manifesting that promotion, that business opportunity, or that unexpected windfall, you end up manifesting more debt, bills, and hardships!

So, how are self-made millionaires different?

The difference is that even before they became rich, they DREAMED of being wealthy and successful.

They literally had a “rich brain”.

Rather than dwelling on what they were lacking in their lives, they focused on the steps they were going to take each day that would lead them to the successful future they desired.

So, today I want to help YOU to develop the mindset of a millionaire, by teaching you these three simple steps to programming your mind for wealth.

These steps have helped me to get to where I am today, and I hope they help you to get on the path of achieving great success!

Step One: Set a target

Then first step is to set a specific goal for your financial future.

Think about what you really want, and try asking yourself the following questions…

• How much money do I want to have in the bank?
• What kind of job and salary do I want to have?
• Am I happy working for others, or do I want to become my OWN boss?
• What kind of assets do I want to own?
• What kind of LIFESTYLE do I want to live?

It may be that you want to earn an income of over $100k per year, it may be to own a house mortgage-free, it may be to start up a successful business, or it may be to simply make an extra couple of hundred bucks a week so that you can start living the lifestyle you want.

Any target you want to achieve is great – the important thing is that it is what YOU want for your future, not what anyone ELSE wants.

P.S. Don’t worry about HOW you are going to achieve this goal right now (that’s the job of your subconscious!) – simply come up with a target that makes you feel really, really excited.

Step Two: Determine your REASONS for setting that target

It’s important to know the reasons WHY you want to be wealthy, because these reasons can determine whether or not you will achieve your goal.

Is it because you hate the job you’re in now, or because you’re terrified of the thought of struggling with debt and bills forever?

Or, is it because you have a dream to turn your passion into your day job, or you dream of becoming financially free so that you can live your dream lifestyle?

Wanting something out of passion and determination is a million times more powerful than wanting something out of fear, so it’s important that your reasons are positive and motivating.

For me, the reason I wanted to be wealthy was for financial freedom.

I’ve never had really expensive taste, and my luxury assets stretch as far as a nice condo and a Mercedes AMG… which of course are both very nice to have.

But what I love most about being wealthy is the freedom.

I love being able to spend majority of my time helping people, and travelling the world. And I love knowing that I would never have to work again even if I never made another penny in my life.

So, what is it about wealth that YOU want? What are the good things that would come from having an abundance of money? What would financial freedom enable you to do?

Here are some ideas:

• To be able to provide a great lifestyle for my family
• To be able to travel and go on vacations when I choose
• To be able to buy my dream house or dream car
• To be able to do the kind of work I love, and work the hours I choose
• To feel successful, valued and proud of what I have achieved

Give yourself some time to think and then write down 2-3 reasons why you want to be wealthy.

Step Three: Align your brain with your target

The last step is to align your brain with your target.

The clearer and more specific you are about what you want to achieve, the harder your brain is going to work to make it happen.

So right now, I want you to try to actually visualize yourself achieving the goals you have set yourself, and picture how you will be FEELING in that moment.

For example…

• Seeing that million-dollar balance when you log in to your online banking
• Picturing yourself opening that dream business…
• Welcoming your friends and family to your beautiful new home (that you own mortgage-free)…
• Picturing yourself picking up that dream car from the lot…
• Telling your kids about the amazing holiday you’re about to take them on…

Whatever your dream is, the more you practice visualizing in your mind, the more likely it is to become your reality.

Your subconscious mind sets out to attract into your life the things you think about MOST. So, make sure that the things you think about are things that you want.

Keep going over these three steps, and as these thoughts, images and feelings of wealth are absorbed through repetition by your subconscious, you’ll soon find your life beginning to change in amazing ways you’d never dreamed possible.
