Achieving Self-Betterment By Harnessing Mind Control
Spiralling down into a state of wake-unconsciousness is not like how you see it on T.V. I would definitely not recommend you to self hypnosis due to the potential dangers that are very real to those first-timers to self hypnosis who lack the knowledge on this. Now, I realise that it is extremely useful and that personal development practitioners have been touting the power of hypnotism for the past few decades. There is nothing new about it at all and science, as well as medicine,has practiced hypnotism as a one of the methods for healing and improving brain activity for years.
The thing is, doing this yourself is like opening your mind to the world. In a state of hypnosis, you feel lighter and more vapid, as if you are in your own dream with a certain amount of control. It is an OOB or out of body experience and you feel extremely relaxed and detached from the rest of the world. The mind in this state is extremely suggestible and nobody has any idea how suggestible we are. You can be totally immersed in the whole experience, so immersed in fact - you might not be able to fully come out of it. What you are doing is bypassing the brains defence mechanism - the conscious mind, and literally gaining access to the core building blocks and controlling agents of your behaviours, your attitudes and your personality. The subconscious mind is incapable of anything but doing whatever you tell it to, which is a dangerous power in itself.
There is a moral reasoning here as some say no one should have that sort of power or control over their subconscious. It’s true that currently there is no regulatory body that says you cannot self hypnotize (and obviously no way to control it). However, many failed to realise the true effect of some messages as they are trasferred directly to the brain thus causing more harm than good.Your mind is as fragile as an expensive silverware, so self hypnosists (who are non experts on the majority) might make things worst off. Leave these things to licensed and governed practitioners or seek the advice of a doctor before you do anything.
Some self hypnosis programs are also used for things other than good - it can be engineered for you to purchase something you don’t need. The profit factor is always out there and you should be wary of these programs. Do plenty of research, and if you need self improvement, there are many brain wave entrainment programs out there that use safer and more visceral methods than putting yourself in that vulnerable state where anything can happen.Always remember to consider the dangers of self hypnosis and infact, it is best to avoid it. Personal development is great and the mind is a powerful thing but you need the right tools before you go in and decide you want to change some things.
