The subconscious is the mind’s vast data warehouse, where every thought, emotion, past event – everything – is stored.

Picture your mind as an iceberg, where only a small portion is above the surface in the conscious and the majority is underneath in the subconscious.

The conscious mind is your analytical mind. Within the conscious mind is a filter, called the “critical factor”. When a thought, idea, feeling, etc. comes into the conscious mind, the critical factor analyzes the data, and based on past experience and belief systems, either accepts it, allowing it into the subconscious mind, or rejects it. For example, if someone tells you that you are intelligent, but you have a belief that you are stupid, your critical factor will ask, “Do we believe that we are intelligent? No, we don’t – we are stupid.” The idea is rejected and you will probably respond with a statement like, “Oh, it’s nothing, any idiot can do it.”

What hypnosis does is allow the critical factor to be bypassed, so that the negative belief in the subconscious mind can be changed to a positive belief. Think of your negative belief as a computer document file. Imagine that you have this document named ” negative beliefs”. Hypnosis allows you to change the “negative beliefs document” and then save it as a new “positive beliefs document”. The old file is gone – updated to a new, positive document.

You have this incredible power within your own mind to change any negative belief – hypnosis is a way to access this power and make it your reality!
