Sleep

Thanks to our scurried lifestyle and changing food habits, we are getting lesser and lesser of sleep. The competition of the fittest is sky rocketing and hence in the race to win, we are compromising most important activities like sleep. Sleep is becoming a rare commodity now and though we have the best of the comforts, we are unable to sleep. The reason for this is that we are not able to put our racing minds to a halt and since the mind never sleeps we are never able to go to a blissful state of sleep. The end result is that most of us even at a very young age have gone in to taking medical pills to aid you to sleep.

The disadvantage with these medical pills is that, though when you start off you might be able to sleep, as time progresses you get used to this and this stops working for you. So then you might have to increase the dosage or start taking additional pills to get you to sleep. The same situation might recur and then you might be lost as to what to do to get into your sleep. So popping sleeping pills is not a good option at all and the best you would want to do is to look for other better options that might work in helping to put you to sleep.

Though there are other techniques that you may adopt to go into a relaxed state and start sleeping, which could include either yoga or meditation, the disadvantage is that as is when we are trying to fit in the little time we have to do the innumerable tasks we have, we definitely will not or might not have the bandwidth to take out time for ourselves and go in for these specified classes. We might start with great vigor, but somewhere down the line the whole effort is lost and we are back to square one. Now the problem gets complicated as since for some short while we have gone in for these programs, and because we are not continuing our programs, we feel all the more irritated and at a loss – there are quite a few cases, where we might even start putting on weight. That worsens situations for us and we start feeling all the more and hence our sleep patterns continue to be disturbed.

So the best solution for a peaceful sleep will be to go in for the binaural beats that will help our brain to get into the delta frequencies that symbolizes the blissful period of sleep. Since the brain is slowly coaxed into that frequency, you don’t have the necessity to take pills that could have other side effects and this in itself would be more than enough for you to get into a deep sleep. With regular use of these binaural beats, you will slowly learn to go into deep sleep without using any other external form of stimulation – sleep then becomes a natural process for you!

Your Past & Future: What are Akashic Records?

Introduction

What are Akashic Records?


If you want to learn more about the akashic records then you came to the right place. The akashic records are a universal filing system where every thought, emotion, action, and experience is recorded. The records are written on a substance called 'akasha' or soniferous ether. Akasha, combined with earth, water, air, and fire represent the five human senses: sight, smell, touch, hearing, and taste.


The akashic records can be accessed by reaching certain states of consciousness. Hypnosis can help you explore the akashic records. You don't have to be a psychic or have ESP in order to read the records. Anyone can read and learn from the akashic records.


The possibilities are endless. You can learn about everything that has ever happened in the history of the universe. You can hear any thought that has ever been conceived. You can feel any emotion that has ever been felt. Everything that has ever existed is at your finger tips.


Think of the akashic records as a super computer that has existed for millions of years, or since the creation of the universe. Everything that has ever occurred has been recorded. Every thought and emotion of every person in the universe is contained in the akashic records.


The akashic records are meant to be explored. You can learn so much about the past experiences and history of the earth and of the universe. You can explore past lives, learn about ancient relatives, and learn the truth about different events in history. The truth is written out clearly in the akashic records. They were meant to be read and you deserve to know all the various pieces of information.


The Akashic Records: The Legend

The only thing more omniscient than a supercomputer and the human mind, are the akashic records. The akashic records store every event, thought, feeling, word, experience, and intent in the existence of the universe. The records connect every person and soul that has ever lived.


The information is non-judgmental and unbiased. For those who learn to read the akashic records, it is supposed act as a guide for the future. We can learn from the past and from others experiences. The history and acknowledgement of the existence of the akashic records has been around since ancient times. Ancient cultures believing in the akashic records include the Egyptians, Himalayans, Persians, Chinese, Greeks, Christians, and Mayans.


The use of the akashic records has been passed down through folklore and is mentioned several times in the bible. Rumor has always been that there is a celestial tablet that contains all information that has ever existed. It is often known as “The Book of Life.”


“Akasha is one of the cosmic principles and is a plastic matter, creative in its physical nature, immutable in its higher principles. It is the quintessence of all possible forms of energy, material, psychic, or spiritual; and contains within itself the germs of universal creation, which sprout forth under the impulse of the Divine Spirit.”


--Alchemy and the Secret Doctrine


How to Make Changes in Your Current Life with the Akashic Records

The akashic records can give you insight on your past, present, and future. Having access to every thought, feeling, and experience is very powerful because it lets you work on recreating your experiences.


For example, if you feel that something is blocking you from being a success or if you have a fear of failure or fear of success, then you can access the akashic records to set your self free of the roadblocks that are in your way.


Let's say you keep finding yourself in a bad relationship. By looking at the akashic records you can why you continue to pick the wrong person in your life. You can let go of past experiences that keep enabling you in bad relationships.


Think of the akashic records as the book of answers. All you have to do is come up with the questions. If you ask the question, “Why?” in any situation, you can answer that question by reading the akashic records to see why.


The akashic records are THE source for everything. They are a trusted source for knowing the truth. If you want to find out what really happened, you can trust the akashic records because they are all-knowing.

Past Life Regression

Past Life Regression

When there are enough stories on record that go back to reinforce the theories of reincarnation, how and where can we deny them? So we are left with absolutely no choice but to believe that we did live life earlier once and we did die and get into this current life. There are certain theories that also express that what we are in this life is the karma or the results of our previous births. Given this fact, then is it not quite surprising that each and every one of us is keen to know what we were in our previous births – but is this practically possible?

IT is if you have the past life regression recording to help you. This unique recording helps you to oscillate between frequencies that influence dreaming and your waking activities and lets you get to a state in between that helps in understand your past life. Once your brain starts reading these frequencies, then it becomes very easy for you to look back at the pages of your past life, like you are reading a book, right from your present mental condition. So you will be so much aware of yourself when you are actually in the process of looking back at your own life.

To actually explain how this happens – you might need to know a little about what frequencies would interfere with what. The alpha frequency is the one where you are completely aware and totally active. The theta frequency on the other hand, is the frequency that helps in dreaming and other related activities. So when you want to actually look at your past life, then there is a necessity to oscillate between the frequencies of the alpha and the theta levels and that is precisely what our binaural beat recording helps you to do. It helps your brain to get into the alpha and theta frequency levels at the required levels so that you are able to easily view the past lives that you have had – what you were and what you did and you end up feeling you have lived your past live all over again!

Though you might have difficulty to start off with to vary your levels of these alpha and theta frequencies, with practice and time, it is only going to get all the more easy – practice makes perfect and that applies for everything – even for past life regression. Also our binaural beat recorder helps you to easily pick up these various levels of frequencies. Going through your past life could be a revelation in itself and you are sure to understand the purpose of your current life. Apart from learning to correct the things that went wrong last time, you could also take a leaf out of your past life and try to put our current lives to the best that we can. This is indeed a very good thing and one good reason why every one of us should try to look back – to our past lives.

Editor’s Note: "The source of the memories is more likely cryptomnesia and confabulations that combine past experiences, knowledge, imagination and suggestion or guidance from the hypnotist than recall of a previous existence."

Subliminal Learning and How It Works

Subliminal Learning

Your regular conscious way of learning is through repeated experience and practice; through this process the new information will be stored deep within your mind on an unconscious level. This is how we learn to ride a bicycle, learn math, or even develop our confidence and establish self beliefs for example.

Subliminal learning bypasses this conscious experience and practice stage and sends information directly to your unconscious mind. If the same subliminal messages are sent frequently enough this will lead to the same outcome, i.e. a shift in your self beliefs. The only difference is that the shift comes naturally, from within!

We are all exposed to subliminal messages every day due to the massive amounts of information we are exposed to, and our limited capacity to consciously register it. As a result this may lead to small changes in our minds, or over time if you are exposed to the same subliminal information over and over then there will be lasting changes.

Listening to a subliminal messaging album is simply a way to counteract this and take control. By targeting subliminal messages consistently at your mind, in larger and focused quantities you can make positive changes in areas of your choice.

Subliminal audio can be used to improve any area of your life - from deep internal changes, to improvements in the physical body. For example, you can increase your motivation, boost your self esteem, treat illnesses and phobias, the possibilities are endless - even subliminal language learning is possible!

We will now go into the principles behind subliminal messaging and the technical side of how subliminal messaging works. The simplest way to show how subliminal messaging works is to describe it in relation to a more common form of mind programming - hypnosis.

Hypnosis and Covert Hypnosis

Hypnosis and Covert Hypnosis - Three Key Things You Need to Know

By Robert Lee

Hypnosis, Conversational Hypnosis and Covert Persuasion - I Have Been Asked NOT to Share by several I know. Why? Probably because it will decrease their "influence" or so they think.

Like many professions a little knowledge is power and often the hypnotist will rely on people knowing very little about what he is actually doing, blind faith or acceptance is a powerful tool. So let's share some facts and perhaps destroy some myths?

Hypnosis Safe? I don't think so

Well I suppose they would say that- They being the people who claim to be an expert. There in lies the problem. In the absence of a clear definition of hypnosis it is difficult to claim anyone is an expert.

A major issue is that everyone is inherently different. Having spent five minutes with a subject perhaps a hypnotist is not in any position to decide whether or not it is actually safe to hypnotize someone. A problem can occur when actually relaxing someone into the hypnotic state. Many have simply never relaxed in such a way for years, perhaps even for ever.

When their mind turns away from dealing with day to day issues, memories pushed to the back of their mind often surface and result in distress or perhaps even fixations.

You can Hypnotize anyone.

Now this one has to be true. Anyone who has driven a car on a long journey has been hypnotized. Remember the last time you did it? You were basically on autopilot, concentrating on the job in hand but your mind wandering elsewhere.

It is possible to be hypnotized without your knowledge

Well I suspect this is true depending on your definition of hypnosis. You can certainly be influenced by means of indirect suggestions and signals. Several them park operators make use of odor emitters to simulate peoples taste buds making them hungry in the immediate vicinity of fast food outlets.

Covert Persuasion would perhaps be a better description of this method. TV advertising is very good at it and it is practically the basis of all successful sales systems.

Perhaps it is time to make use of these methods to improve the lives of your self and your family. If you could persuade others to come round to your way of thinking easily what would you do?

So your at work and your boss will NOT give you time off to spend an afternoon with your family. Imagine being able to persuade him easily to come round to your way of thinking?

You're having problems getting a date with that girl at the bank? What if she couldn't wait to meet up with you?

So it would seem that many of us HAVE been hypnotized and continue to e hypnotized on an almost daily Basis. Imagine knowing how to do it and being able to make use of it in your daily life. It is believed by many that Barrack Obama uses it in all of his major political speeches combined with body language and voice control http://hypnosis-persuasion-nlp.forgettherword.com providing answers about Hypnosis, NLP and Other Mind Expanding Tools The site provides information and advice to anyone interested in Hypnosis, NLP and Self Hypnosis.

eLearning: Self Hypnosis

Learn Self Hypnosis - The Secret of Achieving a Deep State of Hypnosis

Author: Ryan T J

If you go to any hypnosis seminars or just try to find some information about self hypnosis, most likely you will find one question that is usually asked by people who are new to self hypnosis. "How to easily achieve a deep state of hypnosis?" To tell you the truth, at the early stage of my quest for learning self hypnosis, I also had some difficulties entering the state. I tried to follow the step by step instructions from the self hypnosis CDs that I bought, but the result was minimal at best. It was like there is a hidden wall blocking my way of entering. At that time, I thought I just needed some more practice. But, for some reason I kept having the same problem, until I finally found out the real reasons behind it.

Do you also encounter the same problem? Have you been trying hard to achieve this state with minimal result? Don't worry, actually it's not that difficult to do, once you understand these concepts that I am about to tell you.

1. Willingness to be hypnotized. First, you have to understand that the instructions the hypnotist provides in the self hypnosis CDs are only guides to assist you in entering the state. But at the end, your willingness to be hypnotized is very crucial in determining your ability to enter the state. So, before starting your session, decide that you really want to do this from the bottom of your heart.

2. Elimination of fear. Fear can prevent you from being able to enter the state. Actually it's inversely correlated with your ability to enter the state. The more intense the fear, the more difficult it's for you to enter a state of hypnosis. Try to find good and reliable info about what self hypnosis is and what it can really do for you. This can eliminate the hidden fears and misconception that you might have inside you.

3. Misconception about physical relaxation. When we talk about the subject of self hypnosis, the common knowledge that people have is that to be able to enter a state of hypnosis, you have to be physically relaxed. It's true that one of the characteristics of a person under hypnosis is physical relaxation. But, when your body is physically relaxed, it doesn't mean you are in a state of hypnosis. Referring to the US Dept of Education definition, "hypnosis is the bypass of the critical factor of the conscious mind followed by the establishment of acceptable selective thinking". You can see that there is no mention of physical relaxation or any relaxation at all.

4. Try different induction techniques. One of the most commonly used techniques to bring you into a state of hypnosis is commonly known as progressive relaxation/fractional relaxation. Using this technique, you are asked to progressively relax your body from head to toe. This technique is actually only suitable for certain kind of people. If you find that this technique is not effective for you, try to use different induction techniques. A good author of self hypnosis CDs usually combine several techniques to make it easier for you to enter the state.

Hypnosis: Fact or Fiction?

Hypnosis Fact and Fiction

Author: Veda Kalidas

There are many misconceptions of what hypnosis is. Most of these misconceptions are perpetuated by the popular media. The truth is, hypnosis has been used throughout history and continues to be used today, both legitimately and fraudulently. I decided to write this article to clarify just what hypnosis is exactly and what it is not for inquiring minds and to help those that could truly benefit from the true, legitimate practice of hypnosis.

I will start by addressing the misconceptions of hypnosis and tell you WHAT HYPNOSIS IS NOT. Hypnosis is not a form of mind control despite its portrayal in movies as such… you know, the guy dressed in the black tuxedo with big, bushy eyebrows that can swing his pocket watch as a pendulum before people’s eyes to make them cluck like chickens upon the snap of his fingers… No, hypnosis is not capable of taking over another’s free will. Hypnosis is not brainwashing and is not capable of controlling a person’s behavior and judgment. Hypnosis is not caused by the hypnotist’s “power”, as this would allude to the possibility of “mind control” of which there is no hard scientific evidence.

It is also a big misconception that hypnosis is possible only upon weak-minded individuals. In actuality the ability to enter a hypnotic state has nothing to do with one’s intelligence. The hypnotic state can be reached by any individual through self-hypnosis techniques however the ability to be hypnotized by an outside party (hypnotist) is dependent more upon genetic factors. Neither is hypnosis dependent upon individuals with vivid and overactive imaginations.

Hypnosis as a process is not necessarily time-consuming nor does it require the subject to be completely relaxed. And although named for the god of sleep, hypnosis is not sleep. According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, hypnosis is “a trancelike state that resembles sleep but is induced by a person whose suggestions are readily accepted by the subject”.

Now I will delve into what hypnosis is and real world applications of hypnosis. There is a plethora of ways in which hypnosis has been and still is used today in treating mental, physical and social problems.

Hypnosis is used to treat obesity, anxiety, depression, phobias, fears and habits such as quitting smoking. Hypnosis is used to alleviate the pain associated with cancer and other chronic illnesses. Hypnosis is also used in dentistry (hypnodontia) to decrease anxieties and make patients feel more comfortable with the dental experience. Hypnosis is used to treat skin diseases through a practice known as hypnodermatology.

Mental health applications of hypnosis include the treatment of dissociative disorders, depression and PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). Hypnosis is used in the educational field to increase memory and learning capacity as well as focus and energy. Hypnosis is also used to improve self-esteem and confidence.

Altered states of consciousness such as relaxation, meditation and sleep have been achieved through hypnosis. Self-hypnosis with binaural beat audio is used to achieve states allowing for astral projection, remote viewing, past life regression, ESP and telepathy. Of interesting note, binaural beats have been used by top secret members of the US government to utilize remote viewing tactics.

Hypnosis has been used in the past to suppress pain during medical procedures before the advent of chemical pain killers and anesthesia. And let us not forget a very important use of hypnosis… entertainment. Unfortunately entertainment is one of the prime sources leading to the many misconceptions involved with hypnosis.

Despite the misconceptions of hypnosis perpetuated through popular culture and the entertainment industry, hypnosis remains a powerful tool that continues to be used today in the medical, mental health and self-help fields to help people to live better, live longer and enhance their lives.

If you are interested in learning more about using hypnosis to achieve altered states quickly and easily to enhance your life, you may want to look into brainwave entrainment. Brainwave entrainment is the process of using audio frequencies, called binaural beats, to achieve altered states of consciousness. Binaural beats can achieve almost any state of consciousness in about 5-10 minutes. Binaural beats are available for relaxation, meditation, sleep, astral projection, ESP, telepathy, remote viewing, past life regression as well as quitting smoking, losing weight, increasing energy and confidence and enhancing healing power.

The Simple Truth About Hypnosis

Just What Is The Simple Truth About Hypnosis?

Author: Alan Densky

Thanks to stage and television, most people have a lot of misconceptions about hypnosis. That's too bad because hypnotherapy is a modality that can help many people to make the changes that they've been struggling with. So I'm going to clarify just what the simple truths are about hypnosis.

The Definition Of Self Hypnosis:
Hypnotism is a state of hyper-suggestibility where the conscious mind and the subconscious dissociate. It is a state of consciousness where the hypnotized client is more likely to agree to the Hypnotist's suggestions.

You have been in hypnosis many times in your life without even realizing it. If you've ever watched a sad television show and reacted with a tear in your eye, you have been in the hypnotic state. You entered a state of amplified suggestibility where you uncritically accepted the suggestion of gloom on the TV screen and reacted with a sad emotion, your tear. In other words, your ability to reason, which is controlled by your conscious mind, was bypassed. You did not reason that the show was just a play; you accepted the action as being genuine. So you reacted with real passion and shed a tear.

Who Can Be Placed In Hypnosis?
Hypnotherapists have found that all normal people are hypnotizable to a greater or lesser extent. Subjects with less than a 70 I.Q. generally can't be hypnotized. People who are actively psychotic by and large cannot be hypnotized. Most senile people are difficult to hypnotize. I have found in my own hypnotherapy practice dealing with a large number of retired people up to 85 years of age, that self hypnosis is a potent and beneficial technique for most people. A person's motivation is the key to his or her success.

Do I Have To Be A "Deep" Subject For Success?
For the curative applications of self hypnosis we most often deal with, hypnotic depth of any kind is not required. You can be the lightest possible subject and still obtain all of the benefits from self hypnosis that the deepest subjects will obtain. I believe that over the years, far too much importance has been placed on how deep a subject is. If the hypnotic subject is deep, it could be of benefit. This however, may not necessarily be the case. In fact, with the latest hypnotic methods like Ericksonian self hypnosis and state of the art "NLP" (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), hypnotic depth is one of the least imperative aspects, which contribute to success.

Are There Any Dangers In Self Hypnosis?
There are on the whole no dangers to the practice of self hypnosis. It is impossible to "get stuck" in self hypnosis. The most awful thing that could possibly happen while a patient is in the hypnotic state is that she might fall into a natural state of sleep for 20 or 30 minutes. She would wake up rested and no longer in a state of self-hypnosis.

Misconceptions About The Hypnotic State:
There are many misnomers about self hypnosis. Most of them can be attributed to stage and television shows. As luck would have it, it's on account of the fact that the television can hypnotize you that these misnomers are so strongly ingrained in people's minds.

Is Self Hypnosis A State Of Sleep?
The largest misconception about self hypnosis is that it's a state of sleep. Not anything could be further from the truth. If you are asleep, you are unconscious. If you are unconscious, you cannot hear anything. If you cannot hear anything, then the hypnotist cannot help you. Hypnosis is a state of keen awareness. The subject is wide-awake and aware of everything around her. This misconception comes from the stage Hypnotist's use of the word "sleep" as equivalent to a state of hypnosis. When the old time hypnotist swung a pocket watch in front of his subject's face, he told his subject that she was getting "sleepy." Then he told his subject to "go to sleep." What he meant was to go into a hypnotic sleep, not a natural sleep.

Is There A Hypnotized Feeling?
The second largest misconception is that there is a hypnotized feeling. There is no hypnotized feeling. I repeat there is no hypnotized feeling. Most people feel very relaxed when in the hypnotic state, as relaxation seems to be the essence of hypnosis. Some people feel heavy. Some people feel light. Some people have other sensations and feelings. Other people have absolutely no feeling that they are in a state of hypnosis, and believe they haven't been hypnotized when they most definitely have.

Can The Hypnotherapist Control Me?
NO! The hypnotist cannot make you do anything against your will. There is always an observing ego state. Should the therapist make an offensive suggestion; this ego state would reject that suggestion. Additionally, you will probably come out of the hypnotic state if the hypnotherapist makes an offensive suggestion.

Can The Therapist Force Me To Divulge My Secrets?
You will not give up any secrets while in a state of hypnosis unless you want to do so. The hypnotist does not have any control over the subject. Quite the contrary, the subject has more control over herself since at this time she can directly communicate with her own subconscious. The subject can easily decline any suggestion the hypnotist makes, no matter how simple or complicated the suggestion might be. The subject can open her eyes, exit from the state of self hypnosis, and walk out of the room at any time she chooses.

Must People Tell The Truth When In The Hypnotic State?
No! People can lie when in a state of self hypnosis.

Do Hypnotists Have Special Powers?
This is a common misnomer. The hypnotist does not have any special powers, nor does he have any special vibrations with which to hypnotize you into the state of hypnosis. Actually, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. The hypnotist leads the subject into a state of hypnotism. In other words, the ability of self hypnosis is within the subject.

Why Do People Fail To Reach Their Goals When Using Hypnosis?
Perhaps the largest reason for the failure to reach one's goals through self-hypnosis is an inadequate amount of practice where self-hypnosis is concerned.

The largest reason for the return of a symptom or "relapse" is the early discontinuance of self hypnosis with the Hypnotherapist or recorded program. While self-hypnosis is important, it is generally the hetero-hypnosis with the hypnotist or hypnosis recording which has the greatest impact upon the subconscious.

This is because of the training and experience that the hypnotist has vs. the lack of training and experience of the client. Some people are penny wise and pound-foolish. They mentally set an amount of time that they are willing to spend for help. And then they prematurely cut off their sessions because; "I didn't lose 50 Lbs. in two days, so it isn't working."

If a therapeutic method is really helping one to make their desired changes, then it is priceless and it should be continued. It is for this reason that it is wise to have follow up self hypnosis sessions, even after a symptom seems to have disappeared completely. Self-hypnosis should be an ongoing affair on a daily basis. Ultimately, YOUR SUCCESS IS UP TO YOU!

Will I Be Better Off Hiring A Hypnotist, Or Will Purchasing A Recorded Program Work Better?
That is a wonderful question. Normally I would recommend that you employ the services of a reputable hypnotist. The reason is that by meeting with you, a good hypnotist / NLP'er will be able to customize his approach to your personality and your favored representational system -- the way you favor taking in information through your senses to make sense out of it and react to it.

In my opinion, ninety-nine percent of the recorded self hypnosis CDs available at this time are based on Traditional Hypnosis, and consist of only one or maybe two sessions of it at that. Traditional Hypnosis is nothing more than a set of direct commands: "If you eat a brownie you'll barf." "You won't have cravings and urges," etc.. This technology has an exceptionally poor track record of success because the people in our generation have been trained to question everything. That's why you, your friends, and your kids usually do the opposite of what they are told to do. This is called a polarity response.

That being said, having sessions with any hypnotist / NLP'er who has enough experience to be able to actually help you can cost a great deal of money. There are some hypnotic programs available on the Internet based on Ericksonian Hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) that have overcome those shortcomings. They've managed this by utilizing a mix of Ericksonian Hypnosis, NLP, Traditional Hypnosis, and the highly regarded Video Hypnosis technology.

These are all methods that are designed to do away with the resistance factor. In fact, Video Hypnosis and the NLP technology that it's based on do not utilize suggestion at all. These technologies rely on using the thought processes that have created a problem, to eliminate it!

Look for vendors who offer these technologies in multi-session products. These are programs that generally have six to eight different hypnosis or NLP sessions, so the subject is exposed to a broad range of technologies. It takes a lot of work to make this type of program, but the high success rates achieved are well worth the effort.

Stay away from the "one size fits all" -- "do-or-die" self hypnosis CDs and downloads. Many are attracted to these programs because they are inexpensive, usually under ten dollars. But is it cheap if it just wastes your valuable time and doesn't work?

If you order a program and it doesn't work, then you get guarded and start to expect the next approach to fail. And you get what you expect. Do you really think that the same exact commands will work for everyone? Do you think that they will work for you? Do you typically do exactly as you are told to do? Or do you usually feel a desire to do the opposite of what you are told to do?
