The Power To Change  

Good Morning: In our last segment we talked about hypnosis and some of the benefts one can experience through the utilization of hypnosis as a form of personal development and therapy. One of the key componets that causes hynosis to produce the desired outcomes is through the use of suggestions.

Suggestions are all around us. We are bombarred on a daily basis with suggestions. However, most are not aware of the effects that direct and indirect suggestions have on how we experience the world. We receive suggestions from all sort of media; Televison, radio, commericals, buildboard advertisments, newpapers, internet ect. We also receive suggestions from family, friends, significant others, clergy, physicans, employees and employers. Most of the time we are not consciously aware of these suggestions and so they seem to slip through the critical facualty part of the brain and get embeded into our unconscious and evenually acted on effecting how we think, what we believe, what we value, our self image and even how and where we spend our time and money.

Our behavior is directly effected by suggestions and so if we learn how to embed the right suggestions into our unconscious mind to produce the outcomes we desire, we will experience lasting as sustainable change.

Hypnosis is a highly effective form of therapy that will help you install or embed suggestions in line with your goals and aspirations. Through hypnosis, the critical conscious part of you is suspended so that access to the unconscious mind is achieved. Once there is access to the unconscious mind, change can be made.

Outside of hypnosis, what a person can do is be on guard and watch what is  allowed to filter through the subconscious.

Good Morning: If you missed the last two segments of our show “The Power To Change", you can listen to both segments by clicking on to blogtalk Links. So far we've talked about the notion of power and where the source of real power comes from. For most people in this country, we have been taught by cultural and religious beliefs that power is something that is outside of us. We have been taught to believe that the creator or God is the source of all power and that he acts on our behalf when we pray or are in desperate need of divine intervention.

This type of belief has been the back bone of modern society and continues to be taught throughout the ages. However, new discoveries and new understandings have evolved through both science and theological research that is changing the way we perceive power and human potential. From a biblical stand point, the creator often called God, when he created man he endowed him with the very essence of who he (the creator/God) was; meaning that man had the creative power of the universe inside him. Which is why when you read the creation story in the book of Genesis, the first man Adam was able to name every creature brought to him by God? (See Genesis chapter 2 verses18-20). All the animals of the land and sea were given names by Adam. The wisdom to name the animals was no small feat. Imagine for a moment just how much creativity it took to get the names of every creature to reflect the nature and personality of its kind. This is just one example of the power of God in action.

We are all desendence of Adam and all of us have the power of God living inside of us. Unfortunately, there has been a lot of confusion surrounding this notion of power. There are those who believe that the only way to have the power of God is through your confession of faith. Another group believes that only certain people groups are privileged to have this power and yet another group that believes that there is no such thing a God and that man is his own God.

The notion of power and of God has as many different interpretations as there are different people groups in the world. Yet when you study all the religions and philosophy of the world, there seems to be a common thread that connects them all. Man must act/ behave in a manner to produce what he wants. Just as the Bible depicts the creator as deciding to create the universe and mankind in six days so it is with man. When man decides to create and follows through with his decision, something is created. Look around you and noticed what man has decided to create and so it is.

The beauty in all that is created by man is the result of the creator/God's decision to endow man with his creative essence. So in essence God is the creator of all that is and man is credited for it. So why then are there so many people living their lives without truly experiencing their true power? The answer is awareness. Most never question the beliefs handed down from generation to generation. The fact that the beliefs and traditions have proven to provide stability and a sense of normalcy, keep people believing what they come to accept as truth. So when we see someone like Michael Jordan, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, tiger Woods do what seems to be the unbelievable, we think that they are special and rare. They are. If for no other reason than that they have discovered that they can do and be whatever they set their mind on.

The good news is that you and I can experience the same creative power when we understand how to access it and utilize it to help us to achieve the level of growth and success we desire. Join me each week as we discover how to access this power inside of us and put it to use.

Have a great day and powerful tomorrow!
