How To Use Self Hypnosis To Improve Your Memory

1. Most often, the change is gradual and takes place anywhere from a few days or more likely, a few weeks.

1. Relaxation, self-affirmation and awakening

Relaxation

It is important to be in a safe place during the relaxation routine. Wear loose clothing and lie down or sit comfortably. Certain environmental factors may help, like subdued lighting or soft music, but these are not essential. But if you feel it helps you, then use them. Using self imagery is one of the best ways to relax. Hypnotic practitioners use different methods but I like to keep things simple. Start from the toes, right up to the top of the head. Imagine your toes to be like a wad of tightly bundled rubber bands and imagine them loosening. Then proceed to the calf muscles, to the knees, thighs and hips. Feel the warm relaxing sensation going up to your abdomen, chest, up to your shoulders, and down to your biceps, triceps, forearms wrists and fingers. All this while, imagining your muscles in these body groups to be like tight rubber bands being unwound and the warm sensation spreading as they begin to unwind. Then proceed to relax your neck, jaws and imagining weights being attached to your eyelids as they become too heavy to keep open. Imagine the soft, relaxing feeling going to the top of your head. The relaxing process can take anywhere from 1 minute to 10 minutes. Anything more than that, you could seriously end up snoring!

Self-Affirmation

Before this stage, you should be in a relax-aware state where you are more susceptible to auto-suggestion. It is important to understand that you can quickly react to any dangerous situation that may arise around you. You are still in control of your bodily functions. Unlike the helpless individuals who we see hypnotized on TV. You can immediately react if there is danger to you or someone close to you nearby. It is at this stage that we use self-affirming words like, “Every time I meet someone new, I take note of his name and his face, and easily remember his name and face later”, “Every time I put down my car keys, I immediately make a note of where I left them”, “Every time I do grocery shopping, I mentally walk through my kitchen for things that I need”, “Every morning, before I leave the house, I go through a mental checklist of appliances that need to be switched off or things I need to bring along with me”. Feel free to add in your own words, the area in which you want your memory to work better for you. It could be things to remember in an exam or a to-do list. You could write down your scripts or use some of the hypnotic audio scripts that have already been prepared for you. For more details, see the link below.

Awakening Stage

This is strictly speaking not an awakening interval, as you were only in the relax-aware stage. Unless of course you have put yourself to sleep! If you are still conscious, mentally count down from 5 to 1. From 5 say, “5, starting today, I am putting mental strategies for my mind to work”, “On 4, each day I am more consciously aware of my surroundings”, “ On 3, my body is feeling the energy from this session”, “On 2, my mind is feeling more refreshed”, “On the count of 1, I will fully open my eyes, fully refreshed and get ready for the day ahead”.

The awakening stage is very helpful to help your body and mind recalibrate to your current surroundings and helps you assimilate whatever suggestions that you are using to program your mind to help you improve your memory. The awakening stage should not be rushed into, unless of course there is something that needs your immediate attention. It also serves to anchor whatever suggestions you are programming your mind with, to improve your memory.

It is important to know that using self-hypnosis to improve your memory is not a quick-fix. The changes seen could depend on a few factors like your hypnotic scripts, the frequency of use, and the time lag in between sessions. The positive effects could be immediate or more likely, take a few weeks before any discernible changes can be seen. It is also important to know that more rapid changes can be seen if you can perform self-hypnosis frequently, if possible, daily or a few times each day. If the time interval between each session is longer, the results can be slower or not noticeable at all.

unconscious mind -your source of unstopable energy

Can you lift a car single-handed? Neither can I, yet we hear news stories about people who perform seemingly impossible feats of strength or endurance in emergency situations. The slender female who lifts the car that has her partner or child trapped beneath it. The average male who walks miles to find help for himself and others despite serious injury.

Most of the time we only use a small fraction of our physical abilities. That’s true of our mental abilities too.

The mind functions on two levels conscious and unconscious. The conscious level of mind is the one that you are using now to read these words. Although you have probably heard of the unconscious level of mind its purpose and functions may be unclear to you. This is the case for many people.

The unconscious mind and its way of operating remind me of my favourite fairy tale “Aladdin and his wonderful lamp”. Your unconscious mind is like that wonderful lamp because it can bring you all that you seek in life when you know how to communicate with it. Why is this? Because you’re unconscious mind unlike your conscious mind knows no limitation.

Your conscious mind contains your self -image. This is the mental picture that you have of yourself containing not just your physical description but also details of your personality traits, skills and abilities. Most of us have a very limited and limiting self-image. This is because our notions of who we are were formulated by the time we reached six or seven years old and not updated.

So at the age of 37,47 or even 57 we still at one level view ourselves as having only the abilities that we had at the age of six.

Of course we are aware consciously of the lifetime of work experience/engineering degree etc that we have now. However this does not help us when our inadequate self-image (most people have an inadequate self-image) kicks in.

This always happens at the worst possible times such as when we are invited to speak at a meeting and want to impress the boss. Or when we meet an attractive member of the opposite sex or meet our future parents in –law.

So how can we overcome this? By seeking the help of the unconscious mind.

As far as our unconscious minds are concerned we can have, do and be anything. At this level no pre-conceived notions exist as to what is or is not possible. Ask and your unconscious mind will find a way to bring your desire into your life.

This brings me back to the story of Aladdin and his wonderful lamp. The lamp brought great riches to those who knew how to use it. To those without this knowledge it just appeared to be a rusty old lamp not worth a second look.

I’ve given you the first key to your unconscious mind by explaining what it is and how it functions.

How To Improve Your Ability to Focus and Concentrate

Remember Bruce Lee?

The name Bruce Lee commands respect and admiration from all over the world. The diminutive man, who stood 1.73 meters tall and weighed less than 65 kilograms, is considered by many as the greatest martial artist of the 20th century. His dynamic on-screen style and stunts impressed fans from all walks of life, and he became one of the most enduring screen icons in the history of motion pictures.

He was a hero to many young boys. In the 1970’s young men from across the world wanted to be Bruce Lee.

He worked hard. He trained hard. He had a tremendous work ethic.

Bruce Lee was once quoted saying, “a successful warrior is an average man with laser-like focus.”

That’s easy to say but with all the daily worries, troubles and concerns we have to deal with, it’s pretty hard to do.

The ability to concentrate and focus is a daunting task, especially when your mind is ridden with stress and distractions.

I believe the following are in your control:

1. Learn how to remove yourself from all the distractions. A quiet corner and a locked door make a world of difference.
2. Learn not to give in to temptations. When you hear the television blaring, don’t go and see what show is playing at that moment.
3. Learn to push yourself to the limit if you want success.
4. Learn to have planned and rewarded breaks. If concentrating is just too difficult at the moment, then reward yourself with a few minutes breather. For every two hours concentration have a 10-minute break.

Think about the benefits you’ll reap when you push yourself. No one rewards the lazy, and pitfalls come to those who procrastinate.

Learn the value of focus and concentration and experience the benefits.

Don't damage yr brain

Dear All



Subject: BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS



Something very useful.... BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS


1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar
level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing
brain degeneration.

2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental
power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients
causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.


5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted
air
decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in
brain efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will
accelerate the death of brain cells.

7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon
dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain
damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in
effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation
thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain

The main causes of liver damage are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.

2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring ,
and
artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce
cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils
like
olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the
body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of
liver.
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies
should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to
adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating
habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and
get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."



Because :

Evening at 9 - 11 pm : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/toxic
chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This
time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during
this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the
dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a
negative impact on health.

Evening at 11pm - 1 am : is the detoxification process in the liver, and
ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 1 - 3 am : detoxification process in the gall, also
ideally done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 3 - 5 am : detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will
sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since
the
detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need
to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.

Morning 5 - 7am : detoxification in the colon, you should empty your
bowel.


Morning 7 - 9 am : absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you
should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier,
before 6:30 am , for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30 am is very
beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast,
they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast
late until 9 - 10 am rather than no meal at all.


Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of
removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is
the
time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and
don't sleep late.
