Just Let Go . . .
"When people use the term hypnosis, they are generally referring to accessing the subconscious mind. Even though we all access superconscious mind through the subconscious, way too many hypnotists are hung up on limitations present in the subconscious mind (their own and that of a client) and completely disregard that each individual truly does have access to the INFINITE resources from the superconscious mind.
There is only ONE MIND - which is for the sake of convenience and understanding divided, according to its functions, into three minds: conscious, subconscious and superconscious.
I find it necessary to discuss the difference between the subconscious and the superconscious mind in order to stress the importance of accessing the superconscious - especially when desiring to reach the goals that a lot of people consider impossible or place them into a category of miracles.
Subconscious mind, in spiritual literature referred to as soul, is the repository of your previous learnings and experiences, of your beliefs about the world. It is the storehouse of all your thoughts and feelings, which together release a VIBRATION. In turn, this VIBRATION through the LAW of RESONANCE attracts into your experience everything that resonates with your beliefs.
Superconscious mind, in spiritual literature referred to as God, or Universal Mind, is the Source of all power, all knowledge, all love, peace, it knows of no time, nor space, it has no limitations.
Superconscious mind is omnipresent, ONE MIND expressing through all, and each human mind is only an individualized center of consciousness of this ONE MIND. Contrary to the popular opinion, your mind is not in your body, your body is in your mind.
Whatever limitations you are experiencing are strictly due to the limiting beliefs you hold in your subconscious mind. The way to overcome them is by aligning your conscious and subconscious minds with the superconscious mind. You do this by being willing to let go of your own beliefs about yourself and the world around you and opening yourself to the information, the power and the love flowing into "your center of consciousness" directly from the superconscious mind. In spiritual literature this is often referred to as surrendering to God.
Here's what happens in this process of surrender. Imagine that your individual self is a drop of water, while the superconscious (God) is the ocean. When you surrender to it, when you merge with it - you have access to all the attributes, to all the power, wisdom, and love of the ocean. When you feel the surge of this power and love running through your body, you may even feel overwhelmed with love or gratitude and may even find yourself crying. You may also experience some strange symptoms in your body as your body is adjusting to be a conduit for more power.
The process of engaging the superconscious mind is often referred to as de-hypnosis - the goal is to de-hypnotize yourself from the limiting beliefs you accepted about yourself and your relationship to the world around you.
During traditional hypnosis or hypnotherapy sessions - you'd work with a hypnotist or hypnotherapist on one specific issue at the time - an issue that is presenting a challenge for you. The process generally consists of changing the beliefs you hold in your subconscious mind regarding the specific issue. Some hypnotists may also attempt to help you get rid of the problem by providing guidance to help you get into a relaxed state and then just repeating over and over the direct suggestion which is meant to help you get rid of the problem (e.g. for weight-loss, "You're slim now", or for smoking cessation, "You're a non-smoker now"). Since this approach does not deal with any possible benefits you are deriving from your current challenge (secondary gains), the effectiveness of this approach may be questionable.
If, instead, you chose to engage in the process of de-hypnotizing yourself and engaging the superconscious mind - even though you may not be directly focusing on any specific issue, you may discover that the challenges you were facing before simply begin to fall away. If you were having a weight-problem, you could experience an inner urge to engage in activities and nutrition that promotes your ideal weight. If you were having a challenge with substance abuse, you could experience that any desire and/or need for the particular substance has simply vanished without any withdrawal symptoms.
You access the superconscious mind through your subconscious, so the process of accessing it is the same as accessing the subconscious through hypnosis. The difference lies in what you do next. Instead of pounding more of your own suggestions and beliefs into your subconscious, you open yourself to the experience of ONENESS.
You begin by putting aside all of your previous beliefs about yourself or about the world-around-you. Then:
Stop for a moment and just think of the allness of God or Primal Cause with no beginning or end, with universal scope, and surround yourself in this. As you become faithful and worship this, and this alone, ONE GOD, ONE ALMIGHTY PRESENCE - you will find that the vibrations of your body will change from the human to the God or Primal vibration. As you think, live, move and become one with this vibration, you do worship; and what you worship, you idealize, you become.*"
