As someone who has long been interested in the power of the subconscious mind, and the ability of human beings to change their reality simply by changing their point of view, I have a great interest in subliminal self hypnosis. Like many people, I have wondered if subliminal messaging is effective as a means of change, and if subliminal self hypnosis can really change someone's life in a profound way.
After researching these subjects for years, I have seen significant research and anecdotal evidence to suggest that subliminal self hypnosis actually does work, and that the subliminal messages involved are clearly registered understood by the brain.
While there is an enormous amount of anecdotal research to suggest that subliminal self hypnosis is a viable means of personal development, there are also made few major university studies to back up this claim. An Israeli study (Hassain, 2007) found that subliminal images of symbolic objects, such as flags, were clearly recognized by the subconscious mind, even when the participants had no conscious knowledge of being exposed to the image.
The study also found that individuals exposed to the subliminal images altered their behavior based or on the type of image they were shown. This research suggests what many in the para-psychology field have been saying for years: the subconscious mind is aware of (and influenced by) everything that goes on around it, even the things we are consciously unaware of.
Another double-blind study conducted by University College, London produced exactly the same results (Bahrami, 2006). The London study used MRI brain scan technology to verify that the visual cortex within the brain had been activated at exactly the moment the subliminal image appeared.
These studies and others like them strongly suggest that subliminal self hypnosis can be an effective means of personal development, and that subliminal images are both understood and acted on by the subconscious mind -- even when we are unaware of them.
Although there has been a great deal of skepticism in some quarters about the efficiency of subliminal messsaging, it is interesting to notice that many of the largest advertising firms in the world have used subliminal images in television and print advertisements. The United Kingdom has banned the use of subliminal advertising messages, after it was discovered that agencies were routinely inserting subliminal "buy now" messages in their television advertising campaigns. Australia is currently considering a ban as well, after a well-publicized awards ceremony was caught using subliminal advertising text and images.
The question becomes, why would companies spending millions of dollars on advertising waste their time with subliminal images if they did not believe they were effective? The simple answer is, they wouldn't. Advertising executives have known for years that ALL messages influence human behavior, subliminal and otherwise.
The use of subliminal messaging is exciting in many ways, because it gives individuals a chance to influence their own subconscious mind, rather than letting the advertising agencies (and political campaigns) do it for them. There is enough evidence at this point to say with certainty that subliminal self hypnosis does affect the thoughts, beliefs and behaviors of users. Many believe it could be the greatest self-help tool of our age.
Does Self Hypnosis Work
Working as a Hypnotherapist is very rewarding as you get the privilege of working with people that want to achieve amazing success in their lives. In fact there is never really a day that I get out of bed and think ?oh no ? another boring day at work? as each and every day brings many more new clients and many more new challenges that always keeps me on my toes! Many people also find my job fascinating and I am never short of anything to say when I am with friends or meeting new people as that age old question always rises about what I do! Actually someone asked it me just last night ? ?That hypnosis thing? Does it really work?? I always laugh at this point and say ?of course not, don't be so ridiculous!?
Of course I am having a little joke with them in my reply. It still amazes me that people still don't actually believe that Hypnosis can work. Are you a sceptic? Are you one of these people that still believes that it sounds ?too good to be true?? Well if you are then it might be time that you woke up and smelt the coffee as you just might be missing out on something that you really need to give you the results that you want in your life. Listen to this ? Hypnosis has been scientifically proven to both exist and work! Don't believe me? Google it and you will find loads of research and evidence to suggest that Hypnosis doesn't belong in the land of fairytales and magic shows, but is actually a viable option to get you the life that you want and to help you to attain the things that you want to have.
One question I always ask my clients is ?what would you achieve if nothing was impossible?? The reason that I ask this is because as we grow into adulthood we stop using our ability to set high ambitions like we did as kids and we start to create limitations and reasons why we cant achieve certain things. We actually begin to decide whether something is impossible or not ? that's right we actually set the limit on what is impossible!
As I said ? Hypnosis is a viable option to achieve your goals. So I want to ask you the question - what would you achieve if nothing was impossible? Would you quit smoking, lose weight, get more confidence, make more money, improve your relationship or deal with that stress? These are all things that people regularly use Hypnosis for ? actually, I worked with clients on all of these issues just in the past week.
The bottom line: Hypnosis works! Isn't it time that you started to find out more information about how you can use it to improve your own life? You owe it to yourself!
