What
are binaural beats?
The Human Brain produces 4 types of brainwaves.
Beta is between 14-40Hz
Alpha is between 8-13Hz.
Theta is between 4-7Hz.
Delta is between 0.5-4Hz
How brain waves affect us:
All meditation techniques teach you to descend from beta to alpha-theta.
In alpha the person is in a relaxed yet alert state of mind. Theta brainwaves
are associated with sleeping and dreaming. Delta brainwaves are associated
with dreamless sleep. When a person is wide awake and tense he is on
the Beta wavelength.
The
Walters Brainwave Entrainment Effect: Gary Walters, renowned scientist,
found in the 1950s that when external audio waves had the same frequency
as the human brainwaves, the brain produced more of the same brainwaves.
Since the frequencies of 0.5 - 40 Hz are infrasonic; they are inaudible
to the normal ear. However, if a tone is pulsed in the Left ear of 100Hz
and 110Hz in the right ear, then the human brain becomes entrained to
the difference in frequencies. In this case Alpha 10Hz is the phantom
frequency.
Binaural
Beats to Improve Mind Power: There are several commercial binaural beat
software's like bwgen, sbagen, and the neuroprogrammer 2 that can be
downloaded from the Internet for you to experience binaural beats. In
India Binaural Beats are produced by companies such as Mind Power India
and Masterminds International.
Monaurals:
These beats are headphone free. They basically take the pink-white-brown
noise as the carrier frequency and then modulate it to the Beta frequency.
They are extremely effective because human brainwaves are non-sinusoidal
and entrain very well with the monaural. If the monaural 7Hz is applied
to a subject, she/he enters the super learning state.
Some
Important Frequencies:
-
10
Hz - Alpha state
-
33
Hz - Spiritual awakening
-
8-12
Hz - Super learning frequencies
-
4-7
Hz - Creativity and intuition
-
40
Hz - Operating frequency of the brain
-
9
Hz - Energizer / mental boost
-
6.5
Hz - Mental mathematics
-
111
Hz & 38 Hz - Release of pleasure chemicals in the human brain.
(endorphins, enkephalins, dynorphins)
Rife
Frequencies: Chinese doctors observed that the palms of Qi Gong healers
emit a strong infrasonic component just like Indian Prannic healers
do. So the Chinese scientists built an infrasonic <100Hz Qi Gong
machine. At the same time Dr. Rife, in the West, found that this Frequency
destroys the anthrax bacillus. He hypothesized that there must be frequencies
influencing every part of the body.
Are
any Frequencies harmful? Just as for an effect to really exist side-effects
have to exist too, we have harmful frequencies like 16 Hz, and 11 Hz.
These frequencies are documented to cause calcium ion migration in the
brain. If you have a broken a leg, calcium ion flux to your broken bone
is a good thing, but it is a bad thing when it happens in the brain
because it leads to chronic fatigue syndrome observed by Takamura among
Japanese adolescents who were using the cell phone too much.
How
long should I use the Beats? If you have been regularly meditating for
some years then 15mins to 30mins of the Beats is enough. If you are
new to mind technology then you may need the beats as and when required.
For example, before sitting for an exam, you might want to go into 'open-eye'
Theta rhythm. So you may use the beats throughout the study session.
What
are Subliminals? When a hypnotic voice command is put on tape/ cdrom,
such that it is masked and cannot be consciously perceived, then the
hypnotic language pattern directly enters into the subconscious mind
and influences it. Such a recording is called a subliminal recording.
These tapes/ cdroms can have binaural beats to entrain the brain also.
Some
examples of subliminal voice commands… Unity Commands. e.g. "Super
concentration and I are one." Directive Commands (through left
ear to the right brain.) e.g. "I'm telling you to concentrate."
Encouraging commands (through the right ear to the left brain) e.g.
"You can easily concentrate." Query commands. e.g. "why
can I super concentrate so powerfully?"
Using
Subliminals: The command must always be posted in such a manner - as
if the desired effect has already occurred. It must use presuppositions
i.e. assumption that the desired result is true. It must avoid negatives.
Instead of "I don't fail" you must insert "I can pass."
Can
subliminals be used to brainwash a person against his will? No. The
person's valid consent to change has to be there. The person must also
know what he is being programmed for.
Masked
subliminal: When the recording of the hypnotic language pattern is consistently
10db below the masking pattern of music or sounds of nature, then this
is called as a masked subliminal. These tapes were popular in India
in the mid-1990s.
Physically
modulated subliminal: When the subliminal recording is such that the
right and left headphones are 180 degrees out of phase with respect
to each other, then the tape cancels itself out, leaving a slight hissing
sound. And the subliminal messages can enter into the subconscious mind.
AM
subliminal: When the amplitude of the sound waves is set to -70db, then
the subliminal becomes inaudible to the ear but is audible to the unconscious
mind.
Ultrasonic and Infrasonic subliminals: When the voice commands are frequency
modulated to ultrasonic 14.5 KHz > or infrasonic 100Hz< then this
subliminal is the most effective of all.
Silent
sounds: Ultrasonic subliminals are called as silent sounds because they
cannot be heard except by animals like dogs, bats and special radiofrequency
electronics.
Mind
Machines: Mind Machines are devices that have a head gear consisting
of Red LED goggles and a pair of stereo headphones. The headgear flashes
lights into the closed eyes of the person. While the headphone goes
in sync with the headgear. Mind Machines became popular after Michael
Hutchinson wrote the book Mega Brain.
Where
can I buy a Mind Machine? In India Masterminds International will soon
be coming up with its own mind machine. Till then these machines called
the super IQ 2.0 are sold by Mind Power India.
Ericksonian
Hypnosis: This mind training technique uses special tapes designed to
tell generalized soothing stories, a different one, in each ear. This
causes something known as stereotactic confusion in the brain and the
brain blindly accepts all the positive suggestions given to it. The
stories are told in a male voice, female voice, and a child's voice.
MULTIPLE
INTELLIGENCE
Our schools and culture focus most of their attention
on linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence. We esteem the highly
articulate or logical people of our culture.
Dr.
Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University, who developed
The theory of multiple intelligences in 1983, says that we should also
pay equal attention to individuals who show gifts in the other intelligences:
the artists, architects, musicians, naturalists, designers, dancers,
therapists, entrepreneurs, and others who enrich the world in which
we live. Unfortunately, many children who have these gifts don't receive
much reinforcement for them in school.
Dr.
Gardner proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader
range of human potential in children and adults. These intelligences
are:
-
Linguistic
intelligence (word smart)
-
Logical-mathematical
intelligence (number/reasoning smart)
-
Spatial
intelligence (picture smart)
-
Bodily-Kinesthetic
intelligence (body smart)
-
Musical
intelligence (music smart)
-
Interpersonal
intelligence (people smart)
-
Intrapersonal
intelligence (self smart)
-
Naturalist
intelligence (nature smart)
Mastermind
International experts who have in-depth knowledge about this subject
will give you the experience of how powerful these Multiple Intelligences
of yours could be.
ACCELERATED LEARNING
TECHNIQUES
We live
in a world where the ability to absorb information rapidly and to think
logically and creatively are key to doing whatever we do well. So Masterminds
International has pioneered an innovative and highly successful approach
to learning and adapted it for home study.
Accelerated
Learning programs help parents prepare their pre-school children for
learning and help children in school get better results. Teachers and
trainers use these techniques to motivate their learners. Accelerated
Learning methods are also making learning another language easier and
quicker than ever before. And they are giving organizations the competitive
advantage of a faster learning workforce.
More has
been discovered about how the human brain works in the last 15 years
than in all history to date.
The Accelerated Learning Method is based on that research.
We each have a preferred learning style - a way of learning that suits
us best. If you know and use the techniques that match your preferred
way of learning, you learn more naturally.
Because it is more natural for you, it becomes easier.
And because it is easier, it is quicker.
Hence the name - Accelerated Learning.
By also incorporating well-researched memory techniques, Accelerated
Learning makes learning an enjoyable, successful and satisfying experience.
CONCENTRATION
At times
we say to ourselves "I must concentrate to finish this job".
We know there are many situations in our daily life where it is necessary
to concentrate to complete the job in hand. But how many of us really
know how to concentrate, how to shut out the distractions around us,
how to be consciously aware of the task in front of us.
Some call concentration an art and being so it can be learnt and practiced.
Although the lessons and methods are fairly easy they do require a sense
of discipline, but if mastered the benefits will be apparent throughout
your life. Not many of us are aware that when we are in deep concentration
we are also connected more closely with our subconscious. This in itself
can bring much insight in our life.
ADVANCED MEMORY TECHNIQUES
Memory Techniques
What
is it with forgetting?
You run into your boss in the store and you can't remember her name.
You're at the grocery to buy four items and you can't remember three
of them.
You're on the podium giving a speech and suddenly you can't remember
what you were going to say next.
You've parked your car near a client's office but can't remember where
you left it after the visit.
When
you train your memory and train your imagination to assist your memory,
there is a remarkable increase in concentration, study skills and creativity,
while simultaneously raising your IQ.
Multiple Benefits
When properly applied and used to their full extent, memory techniques
allow people to:
-
Remember
names and faces of the people they meet. Remember the sweetest word
in the English language is the sound of your own name and by remembering
the names of the people you meet business relationships become easy
to build.
-
Retain
information from training sessions. It has been estimated that 80%
of annual training budgets are wasted because people forget the
information covered during training sessions. Increase the value
of the training sessions by increasing your recall.
-
Remember
lists - whether it is a to do list, a shopping list, or a list of
things employees must do in case of emergency, these techniques
greatly improve people's ability to remember items in sequence.
Many experts believe that we use as little as 1% of our full potential.

Memory
Techniques: Master filing System, Guided Imagery, Phonetic System,
Mnemonics, Journey method, Master Mind Map, to use more of your
brain power effectively. This enables you to work smarter not harder.
MASTER MIND MAPS
Do
you find it hard to organize your thoughts in a logical flow?
Do you forget important facts, figures, dates or events?
Do you find it hard to keep up when making notes in meetings?
These are just some of the problems many of us experience on a daily
basis. But our ability to process and manage information can be the
difference between success and failure. The good news is that all success
is ensured using MasterMind Maps!
MasterMind
maps work the way the brain works -- which is not in nice neat lines.
Memory
is naturally associative, not linear. Any idea probably has thousands
of links in your mind. Master Mind maps allow associations and links
to be recorded and reinforced. MasterMind Mapping has proved to be an
invaluable tool for many people and companies worldwide. It is a simple
technique, but can have far-reaching benefits for those who master it.
Master Mind maps can help you to:
-
Think
smarter you can use mind maps for:
brainstorming ~ think up new and creative ideas quickly and easily
decision-making ~ make better, faster decisions
problem solving - think the problem through and find the best solutions
planning ~ prepare and prioritize plans
-
Learn
faster you can use mind maps to:
note-making ~ capture and organize your thoughts and ideas on one
page
Note-taking ~ put information into your head from the printed and
spoken word i.e., books, magazines, reports, TV, radio, speeches
etc.
Master Mind Maps are an excellent study aid and can make revising
for exams easy and fun!
-
Communicate
better you can use mind maps to:
prepare and deliver presentations and speeches
write letters, reports and documents
RAPID READING
/ PHOTO READING
Reading
speed is not something you were born with. It is trainable and can be
developed just like any other faculty. Moreover, reading is to the brain
as aerobic training is to the body - by increasing your reading speed
you will likely find yourself with better concentration and memory,
sharper thinking and analytical skills, and able to save days, weeks,
or even months of time to keep up with your reading.
If you are like most people then you will have a stack of unread reports
or articles in your inbox or desk drawer. These regularly get moved
to the unread pile of magazines and newspapers in the corner of the
room, next to your book shelf full of books and textbooks, of which
most have only been read to chapter 3. If this describes you then you
are one of the millions of people that could benefit from learning how
to read faster. Tony Buzan's speed reading techniques have been shown
to not only increase your reading speed, but to also allow better retention
and comprehension of the matter you read.
The benefits
of reading at different ranges/speeds:
-
Improves
your reading speed dramatically.
-
Improves
and maintains your comprehension.
-
Increases
your understanding of the functions of your eyes and your brain,
in order to help you use them far more effectively while reading
and studying, and also to improve them in your everyday personal
and professional life.
-
Helps
you improve both your general knowledge and vocabulary.
-
Saves
time.
-
Gives
confidence.
Mastermind
International's scientifically proven Rapid Reading technique enhances
your reading speed and comprehension by leaps and bounds. Plus, it eliminates
lack of concentration, poor eye fixation and passive reading.
ALPHA TECHNIQUES
Alpha
state refers to the rate of electrical vibrations of the brain. The
normal waking rate, the Beta state ranges from 13 to 30 cycles per second.
In Alpha state brainwaves slow down to between 8 to 12 cycles per second.
When you allow yourself to enter the Alpha state, as described earlier,
suppressed feelings will spontaneously begin to jump into your awareness
as the subconscious cleanses. Just sitting still gives the subconscious
the opportunity to bring its suppressed contents to consciousness for
healing and clearing.
In processing feelings, brainwave frequency slows down to the alpha
state level of activity or lower, inducing relaxation and healing. If
you work on yourself in the Alpha state, you have a tremendous advantage.
Healing occurs naturally and the conscious mind is relaxed. The body
is relaxed and feels different. Processing begins: The Higher Self and
the Witness begin to function. The psychic abilities are awakened. Sensitivity
to the energy flow (as perceived through the feelings) increases. Visualizations
and affirmations are more effective. Clearing begins almost spontaneously.
Integration is facilitated.
You
can even go deeper, as you acquire expertise in processing, entering
the Theta state of 4 to 7 cycles per second.

BOOST
YOUR BRAIN POWER
Brain development in humans is remarkably resistant to permanent damage
from protein-energy malnutrition.
The final decade of the 20th century witnessed an explosion of research
in the neurosciences. We now have evidence suggesting that special nutrients
and unique plant extracts maintain healthy cellular energy production
by promoting healthy mitochondrial function, scavenging free radicals,
and promoting healthy blood circulation to the brain resulting in increased
Memory Power.
One such powerful nutrient is Ginkgo biloba, which improves circulation
to your brain and extremities, helps maintain vascular tone, and enhances
your brain's ability to use oxygen. By doing so, it helps to promote
and maintain your mental sharpness, alertness, memory, concentration
and focus. Ginkgo biloba also contains antioxidants, which direct their
antioxidant effects to the brain, central nervous system and cardiovascular
system.
Likewise there are many more Brain Nutrients that boosts brain power
which our specialists guide you through.
NEUROBICS
Neurobics
are literal, aerobic workouts for the brain. According to the Department
of Neurobiology, Duke University Medical Center, Neurobics are comprised
of simple exercises that help stimulate the brain's activity. In other
words, Neurobics help the brain to produce neurotrophins (natural growth
factors) which assist the brain's ability to combat the effects of the
mental aging process. Specifically geared to assisting the brain's manufacturing
process of nutrients, neurobics seemingly not only save brain cells,
but help to grow new ones as well. By utilizing all five physical senses
in addition to one's emotional sense, neurobics can be performed anywhere
and anytime.
MIND POWER MUSIC
/ SUPER LEARNING MUSIC
High
Performance Super Learning and Relaxation Music is the ideal background
sound for study, training, and stress reduction. Research shows that
Baroque music at 60 beats per minute causes your brain to produce more
Alpha (calmness) waves. This happens on both left and right sides of
your brain. This simply means that you calm down and relax, in a way
similar to when you whistle a happy tune, or when you daydream. This
'alpha' state of mind is ideal for learning, creativity or just relaxing.
Download a short piece of the music now and try it for yourself.
Why High Performance Super-Learning and Relaxation Music is so unique?
To get the best results you need to have only Baroque music at 60 beats
per minute. You also want the music to sound nice, and not tedious.
It would take you many hours to collect the music, record it onto a
tape, leaving out the parts that were heavy or the wrong tempo. The
sound would be less than studio digital.
We know because we tried. We searched for pleasant baroque music at
60 beats per minute because we wanted it for ourselves. We could not
find a collection of only this music anywhere in the world. So we found
the best baroque guitarist in Australia and digitally recorded carefully
selected pieces. The result is not just a wonderful tool for learning
and relaxing, but a lovely concert of delightful music (even if you
are not into "classical"). It is unique, and we guarantee
you will love it.
The most exciting news in memory research in recent years is that playing
the right kind of music when we study helps us to remember. Go on try
it. Indian ragas - Bageshree, Bhimpalas, and Vasant Bahar are found
to be extremely good for concentration.
Mozart's sonatas are found to be extremely good for motivation, recharging
the neurons and healing.
Listen to your choice of memory music through headphones. This seems
to enhance the effect by actually turning your inner ear. When we listen
with headphones we actually hear a wider range of frequencies, which
helps us to remember the material we are concentrating on.
Other effective music composers are - Handel, Vivaldi, Boccherini, Rossini,
Telemann, Haydn, Bach and Tchaikovsky.
Use any of the slow, soothing music from these composers, such as Largo
(slow) movements from Concertos. A tempo of around 60 beats per minute
is ideal. You can also choose Gregorian chants or music from contemporary
composers which have these slow beats. This kind of music helps people
with health problems such as heart arrhythmia, migraine headaches and
high blood pressure.
Research has shown that string music such as violin, mandolin, harpsichord
and guitar gives better results for boosting memory. You can find this
kind of music in large music and book stores.

PAST LIFE REGRESSION
Past Life Regression - The most effective new age healing technique
used to heal many physical, emotional and psychosomatic problems which
cater to the root cause. For optimum results, minimum of three Sessions
of two hours each are necessary.
Progression - Progression is a metaphysical exercise, where a person
at the astral plane can explore his/her akashic records to know his
/her own probable future.
Astral Travel - Astral Travel is a metaphysical exercise, where a person,
explore different realms of consciousness for spiritual
upliftment.
Peak Performance strategies to achieve desired Goals using NLP, Mind
Programming Techniques, a must for achievers in the areas like Sports,
Business and Academics.
For Psychological disorders like chronic depression, amnesia, schizophrenia
etc., using re - birthing breath work, NLP and Emotional Freedom Techniques
(EFT).
Duration: Based on the case
Past
life regression (PLR) is a therapeutic technique that uses light to
deep levels of trance to activate memories, or pseudo-memories that
appear to represent past lives. PLR is typically undertaken either in
pursuit of a spiritual experience or in a therapeutic setting where
it can be used in an attempt to resolve emotional, psychological or
psychosomatic problems.
Reincarnation is one of the greatest mysteries in the universe. The
validity of reincarnation has been widely accepted in most of the cultures,
religions and spiritual traditions of the world since ancient times.
The technique of past - life regression was originally born out of scientific
explorations to unearth the mysteries of reincarnation. Since then it
has evolved from a technique to a complete science today. Presently
there exist many fields of specialization within the science of past
- life regression.
We
are the sum total of all that we have been in our past lives. Past life
regression helps to explore past lives and retrieve the energies of
those lives. By exploring our past lives, we can find the solutions
for the problems that we face in the present life. Past life regression
brings a person in touch with his/her larger reality and helps to achieve
a clear understanding of why situations in this life are the way they
are, it therefore helps us to make our lives more joyful and meaningful.
Past
life regression goes to the very root of a problem and enables us to
eliminate the source of the problem. The root cause of a problem lies
in the past. The effect is still felt in the present. Thoughts, words,
feelings and actions that have been set in motion in the past continue
to affect us at all levels of our being in the present moment. Past
life regression is a holistic therapy because it works on all levels
of our being - body, mind, intellect and soul.
The
elements of the PLR experience
Many PLR therapists use light trance and guided imagery to enable past
lives to emerge. Some therapists also use bridging techniques from a
client's current life problem to bring past life stories to conscious
awareness. Most past life stories do not actually relate to famous people
and contain few historical details, although occasionally subjects come
up with a plethora of names, dates and places that can be checked.
Recollections of past lives are normally relevant to clients, who often
perceive similar patterns in their current lives. An example is an irrational
sense of responsibility for the deaths of others, carried over from
the death of loved ones in a past life. Other patterns can take the
form of a strong emotion (i.e. fear, anger, guilt), an associated thought,
or body sensation (i.e. sexual block, skin rash). It has been suggested
that these unresolved wounds from a past life may be the cause of present
day complexes.
Therapeutic
value of PLR
Many of the pioneers of PLR were previously either Christian, agnostic
or atheist. Nearly all claim that they were profoundly skeptical at
the outset, but gradually became convinced because of the results of
PLR as therapeutic tool. According to proponents, PLR has produced dramatic,
rapid and permanent improvements in some clients who had spent years
in conventional therapy. At Masterminds International we have documented
records of patients that recovered completely by undergoing PLR therapy.
HANDWRITING ANALYSIS
As
Aristotle once wrote: "Spoken words are the symbols of mental experience
and written words are the symbols of spoken words", of many disciplines
available to those who seek self - awareness and improvement, graphology
is one of the most accurate and enjoyable. Although it will take more
than a quick read-through for you to be able to discern all your personality
characteristics, an hour or two will give you many insights. You will
certainly see many positive traits that you previously ignored. You
may also see a number of characteristics that obstruct success in your
passage through life. One of the definitions of graphology is: a scientific
study and analysis of handwriting, or the art of interpreting character
and personality from peculiarities in handwriting.
Handwriting
is often called expressive and indeed it is. All that happens to a person
is part of who they are. Handwriting has also been called mind writing
or brain writing. All that is part of the mind is reflected by an individual
in many ways, writing being one of them. We can attempt to disguise
our feelings and thoughts, and often succeed to some extent, but to
disguise ourselves totally is impossible. Given adequate samples, time,
expertise, and purpose, there is very little that a writer can disguise
from an expertly trained graphologist.
Handwriting
Analysis with meaningful letter formations can give you some instant
feedback as to the meaning of some of your unique letter styles. You
may also want to change it to something that influences you in more
positive way (graphotherapy).Graphology is an exciting and useful key
to aid in unlocking the potential within you.
CREATIVE VISUALIZATION
Creative
visualization is the ability to use the imagination, see images in our
minds and make them come true. If we add concentration and feeling,
it becomes a great creative power that makes things happen. Used in
the right way, visualization can bring changes into our lives. The thought
is the matrix or blueprint; the feelings provide the energy, the "electricity".
Sounds weird? Not at all!
This is the power of creative visualization. This is the power that
can alter our environment and circumstances, cause events to happen,
attract money, possessions, work, fulfilling relationships and love,
change habits and improve health. It is a great mind power.
Imagine you have
a genie at your disposal!
By
visualizing an event, a situation, or an object, such as a car, a house,
furniture etc, we attract it to us. We see in our imagination what we
want and it happens. It is the natural culmination of the power of thought.
Creative visualization refers to the practice of seeking to affect the
outer world via changing one's thoughts.[1] Creative Visualization is
the basic technique underlying positive thinking[2] and is frequently
used by athletes to enhance their performance.[3][4] The concept originally
arose in the US with the nineteenth century New Thought movement. Creative
visualization is the technique of using one's imagination to visualize
specific behaviors or events occurring in one's life.[6] Advocates suggest
creating a detailed schema of what one desires and then visualizing
it over and over again with all the senses (i.e., what do you see? what
do you feel? what do you hear? what does it smell like?).[7][8] For
example, in sports a golfer may visualize the "perfect" stroke
over and over again to mentally train muscle memory.[9]
In
one of the most well-known studies on Creative Visualization in sports,
Russian scientists compared four groups of Olympic athletes in terms
of their training schedules:
-
Group
1 = 100% physical training;
-
Group
2 - 75% physical training with 25% mental training;
-
Group
3 - 50% physical training with 50% mental training;
-
Group
4 - 25% physical training with 75% mental training.
Group
4, with 75% of their time devoted to mental training, performed the
best. The Soviets had discovered that mental images can act as a prelude
to muscular impulses."[10]
Creative
Visualization is distinguished from normal daydreaming in that Creative
Visualization is done in the first person and the present tense - as
if the visualized scene were unfolding all around you; whereas normal
daydreaming is done in the third person and the future tense - the "you"
of the daydream is a puppet with the real "you" watching from
afar. [citation needed]
Visualization practices are a common form of spiritual exercise, especially
in esoteric traditions. In Vajrayana Buddhism for example complex visualizations
are used to attain Buddhahood. Additionally, visualization is used extensively
in sports psychology.[11]
Creative
Visualization and the Power of Thoughts
How
does it work and why? Thought is a power and has its effect on the material
world. Thoughts, if powerful enough, travel from one mind to another.
If we keep thinking the same thought, people in our environment perceive
it and act on it, furthering, usually in an unconscious manner, the
materialization of our desires.
When I have to confront some unpleasant situation, I visualize myself
handling the matter easily and comfortably. I see the involved people
as cooperative and friendly. And you know what? They are pleasant, and
they want to help without even being asked to. It is so because people
are responsive to our thoughts, feelings and behavior and react accordingly.
If you are naturally positive, then the way you approach and handle
situations is such that attracts positive results. On the other hand,
if you are fearful and negative, then you expect negative results, and
behave, look, and talk accordingly.
We are part of the Omnipotent Power that has created the universe; therefore
we participate in the process of creation. Bearing this thought in mind,
there is no wonder that thoughts materialize. Stop a moment and think.
You are part of the great Universal Power! Whatever concentrated thought
you entertain long enough in your mind tends to materialize.
Thought is energy. By having certain thoughts in our minds, and by concentrating
on them and putting emotional energy into them, they become powerful.
These thoughts induce some kind of pressure on the energy fields around
us, causing them to move and act. The thoughts change the balance of
energy around us and in a natural way bring changes in the environment
in accordance with them.
There is another explanation why visualization brings results. It may
come as a surprise to most, but the theory of "Maya" - Illusion,
which comes from the eastern philosophies, provides the explanation.
According to the Indian philosophy "Advaita- Vedanta" which
in the West is called "Non-duality", the world is just an
illusion. Thoughts arise which "create" our world. We constantly
think and rethink our habitual thoughts, thus creating and recreating
the same kind of events or circumstances.
This process reinforces our thoughts, which help to preserve the same
"world" we believe we live in. By changing the tape or film,
that is by looking at a different scenario - different thoughts, we
create a different "reality". For us it is a reality, though
in fact it is just a dream we call "reality".
By changing our thoughts and mental pictures, we change our "reality";
we change the "illusory" world we believe we live in. We are
not employing magic or supernatural powers when creating and changing
our life and circumstances. It is not something "material"
that we change; we only change our thoughts, which are the world.
It is like dreaming a very realistic dream and then switching to a different
dream. We are not awakening, just changing the dream. This explanation
has to be read and reread and pondered upon in order to understand its
full meaning. The other articles in this website may help you understand
the philosophy involved here.
Rest assured that you can employ the power of visualization, even if
you do not accept what you have just read or it seems too complicated
or far-fetched. Yet, understanding and accepting the above, at least
in theory, will help you achieve results faster.
So why not change your dreams to something more fulfilling?
For example, you are living in a small apartment and need a larger one.
Instead of brooding about your fate, that you haven't enough money,
change your thoughts. See yourself in your imagination living in the
apartment of your dreams. It does not matter if you haven't enough money.
Just imagine yourself living in your "new" apartment and see
it as a reality. The opportunity or way will present itself. The power
of thoughts will work for you too.
Many books and articles have been written on the subject, and each new
book or article opens to the reader a new viewpoint. Each book may mention
something that the other did not. In order to understand the subject
fully, it is advisable to read several books.
Overcoming Limited Thinking
Creative visualization can do great things, but for every person there
are some areas, which he may find hard to change, at least in the immediate
future. This is a great power, but there are some limits to using it.
These limits are within us, not in the power.
We limit ourselves by our thoughts and beliefs. The wider we can look
at the world and ourselves, the greater are our possibilities. Any limits
are within our minds, and it is up to us to rise above them.
It may take some time until things start to change. Simple, small demonstrations
of this power may come fast, but bigger results may need a longer time
to manifest.
The time and effort put forth in this study are really worthwhile. Have
faith and patience and results will start appearing.

MYTHS REGARDING HYPNOSIS
Movies,
books and even stage hypnotists have added to the confusion of what
hypnosis really is. It is not a process where you have no control or
don't remember anything (as explained further on). You won't be unconscious
and neither will you feel totally disorientated or dizzy - but you will
feel a profound state of relaxation, peace and even bliss.
WHAT IS HYPNOSIS ?
The basic definition of Hypnosis is an altered state of awareness.
You don't have to learn anything new. All that's required is for you
to just relax both mentally and physically. It's a wonderful opportunity
to just relax in our very comfortable lounge. It's just like being in
a relaxed and drowsy state where you feel warm, secure and comfortable.
It could even be described as a very pleasant daydream.
HOW DOES HYPNOSIS WORK?
Hypnosis works by bringing a subject into a peculiar state of consciousness
with reduced peripheral awareness accompanied by strictly focused attention.
James Braid coined the word hypnosis, meaning "nervous sleep,"
from the Greek word hypnos, which means sleep. In actuality, hypnosis
is not sleep. Clinically speaking, hypnosis differs from sleep in the
level of alpha brain waves. Alpha brain waves are measured low during
sleep, but high during hypnosis. In addition, a hypnotized person can
hear; the sleeping person cannot.
Modern
views of hypnosis indicate that persons are born with a certain level
of "hypnotizability." This ability or ease in entering what
is known as the "trance" state, cannot be enhanced or increased.
A person is a "good subject," having a higher level of hypnotizability,
or a "poor subject," having a low or no ability to enter the
trance. A clinician may induce a patient to enter the "trance state;"
he or she will then train the subject to be able to enter this state
of consciousness on their own.
Hypnosis
should not be confused with sleep, meditation or relaxation, though
it may appear to mimic these other states of consciousness. Meditation
emphasizes an inward focus, within oneself; hypnosis works by having
the subject focus on something outside of oneself. Subjects who are
hypnotizable score high in imaginative activities. And contrary to common
perception, the "best subjects" are those who are highly independent,
intelligent and creative, not those who are malleable and submissive.
Hypnosis
is best described by what happens to the subject during this trance
state, whether self-induced or other-imposed. The hypnotized individual,
while existing in a particular place in time, must be able to project
herself to "another place" in time. This does not mean entering
the future or past, though common beliefs about hypnosis assert that
this is possible. The "other place" is simply a focus other
than the present situation; the present situation and the entire surrounding
environment is exchanged for sharply directed attention in or on a particular
place or thing. The subject may be "outside" of himself but
is still in total control. The "self" is still monitoring
the proceedings, making sure that nothing untoward is happening while
he or she is in the trance state.
YOU ARE ALWAYS IN CONTROL
Contrary to some novels, films and stage hypnosis shows, you always
maintain control in a clinical hypnotherapy session. You will be aware
at all times of anything that is said and done. Nobody has the power
to make you do anything against your will or beliefs. You won't disclose
anything you don't want to.
CAN YOU BE HYPNOTISED? HYPNOTISED?
Yes - but only if you want to be.
There are very few exceptions, for example, young children, people with
Dementia or mental disorders are difficult to hypnotize.
WHY HYPNOSIS?
Hypnosis is a gentle, pleasant and very effective way to quickly achieve
positive changes. It is a drug-free, relaxing procedure and just requires
your willingness and co-operation.
