The Power of Imagery
I find it very peculiar that hypnotherapists don’t use more hypnotic imagery in their practice. Hypnotic imagery is extremely powerful. I wonder if it is because it is not usually formally taught and therefore they just don’t know how to approach it.
Occultists have always known the true power of imagery. There are books out there that introduce creative visualization in order to manifest goals, but it takes a little more searching to find those books that really hit hard, and if you think books on the occult and magic are the work of the devil, you’ll probably not dig that deep.
Franz Bardon’s Intitiation Into Hermetics is a wonderful book of exercises that lead to full control of your mind. Many of the beginning exercises train you to create any image at will in three dimensions with your eyes open. This level of mastery is not really necessary to affect the brain and modify behavior. Unfortunately these days most people have weak visualization skills since movies, TV, and video games create their images for them. They are programmed by someone else’s images. This may be one reason why the masses are programmed to fear occult and esoteric practices, since that might lead to self-mastery. The more you fear, the easier you are to control.
There are different types of hypnotic imagery, each resulting in its own unique phenomena.
The first type is when, for example, an athlete imagines themselves already achieving their goal. They practice visualizing their goal until the unconscious mind really believes it is a reality, making the necessary changes in their physiology to actually achieve that goal. This is the type of imagery most books on the market teach.
The second type of imagery will create specific experiences within your mind and body. Dr. Milton H. Erickson was known to do this through metaphorical imagery. For example, if the patient imagined being cold, it would result in anesthesia. This type of imagery is taught mostly in expensive hypnotherapy textbooks and in a few schools.
The third type of imagery, which some might consider experimental, works at recreating past experiences with vivid color, sound, and sensation. For example, if you can remember the feeling of walking on the beach, with practice you can recreate that experience within your mind until you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the imagined experience and the real one.
If you can master the third type of imagery, the first two fall naturally into place. If you can master the third type of imagery, you can create reality as you want to. Think about this. All your memories are nothing but images, sounds, and sensations stored in your head. They aren’t “real” are they? How are they any more real than an image you might create?
You may argue that it is more real because you had the experience, but if you could create an image just as real as any memory, think of the consequences. You could change your levels of consciousness at will. If you ever had social anxiety, you could recreate all your memories portraying you as a self-confident speaker with a charismatic personality.
You are who you are now because you believe in those past images. Learn how to change them and you will literally change reality.
My technique Psychic Sleep is designed to condition your body to experience the deeper levels of relaxation necessary to create the vivid imagery I’m writing about. Anyone who has received or bought Psychic Sleep will have access to the future audio files I’m working on which will teach the listener systematically to construct hypnotic imagery that will produce deep relaxation, time distortion, dissociation, age regression, post-hypnotic triggers and anchors, and overall permanent behavior modification. Yes, these kind of results are for real. This is the real secret of “The Secret”, but you’re not going to really learn these things in a DVD produced for the masses.
I’m not looking for numbers here. I’m looking for sincere people who are willing to really learn the power of these techniques and then teach other sincere people as well. Learn how to deeply relax and create vivid imagery at will, and you will learn the secrets to being anybody you want to be. Unfortunately, there are those that use the same techniques to shape people according to their own design. Propaganda and brainwashing are alive and well.
