It’s interesting to know that all of us are constantly moving in and out of hypnosis and that we have become so accustomed to this state that we accept it without awareness. Our subconscious mind does not know the difference between reality and “perceived” reality. Consequently, we react to action movies by tensing our muscles in preparation for either fight or flight or we become emotional and even cry when we watch a sad movie.
Our minds and bodies are closely connected to the extend that the mind overrides the body. Consider the football player who is so focused on the game that he is completely unaware of having a broken ankle and plays on until the game is finished. Or consider the hungry man who literally starts to salivate just by thinking about the terrific dinner he will eat as soon as he gets home.
The same is true in many other situations, we get what we expect. If we sit down in the dentist’s chair fully convinced that we want to be there and that we will be free of discomfort and pain during the procedures, we will absolutely have a pleasant experience.
It is because the mind controls the body that we are able to use HypnoBirthing, self-hypnosis for a comfortable childbirth, and HypnoFertility to overcome “unexplained” infertility.
