Relax

My experiences with wendi’s audio clips go up and down. Sometimes I easily get into trance / relaxation, but sometimes it’s not working at all and I feel my mind wandering off several times. The second and third audio clips are even harder (I guess because I’m not experienced in the first one yet). I also haven’t noticed any dramatic changes. (Although I don’t know what dramatic changes I’m expecting.)Stop smoking certainly would be a great improvement and I’ve been targeting that now and then, but I guess that’s a hard thing to chance since I don’t enjoy smoking at all and still I keep doing it.  I don’t know what effect smoking pod and self-hypnosis gives, but it seems better to me to quit doing that altogether as well…

Hypnosis Audio

On www.wendi.com I found these free samples of their product (It’s quite complicated to get them from their website, because you have to actually purchase them and enter a code that’s sent to you by email and then you get a discount so you end up paying nothing) . You get three samples that last a good 35 minutes altogether.

Basically, Wendi (I guess it’s her) tells you to relax and she does this much the same way as other hypnosis techniques (I assume). Compared to the instruction from hypnosis methods as the Silva method, they use the same principles.

The first one doesn’t do anything else then bringing you peace and getting you in trance, which is wonderful. I’m still having some difficulties with the second and the third audio sample though.

What happens in this one is that she puts you in a trance quickly and then takes you deeper (the go-down-the-stairs method). I don’t seem to be able to go in trance quick enough (or there is too much tension still, I don’t know).

Anyway, certainly worth trying.

The Silva method seems to be good as well, the only thing I experience with it is that the pauses between the spoken items are sometimes so long that I tend to drift away. Maybe I’m just too tired ?

The Silva Method

I’ve heard of this technique through my girlfriend. She actually has these cd’s at home. We’re planning to go to a seminar from Silva himself in October. In the mean time I’ll try to get a hold of these cd’s (not easy, my girlfriend is in Canada and I am in Belgium), and I will try it out.

I’ve completely stopped with the sublimation technique although the sentences sometimes are still ringing through my mind. I do feel healthier, more energetic since about a week, but that’s mainly because I’ve been drinking water on a regular basis because I knew I wasn’t drinking enough.

I have been practicing the relaxed-place-technique. I even made a cd with my voice guiding me to the process with a heart-beat and soft music supporting my voice. But I am still not able to keep my concentration and I wander of in the middle of a sentence…

I still haven't figured out what goes under the label of self-hypnosis and what doesn't...

Interruptions

My life over the past days have completely messed up my consistency. Upcoming is a wedding from a close friend which will also disrupt the systems I’m trying to set up in my life, but hey, sometimes we need a break.

I’ve also been doing so much research into other techniques regarding self-hypnosis and I’ve subscribed to so many newsletters that I am almost doing nothing else then reading newsletters, blogs, posts, etc…

Although my energy levels have increased somewhat by drinking a glass of water every hour, I still notice that when I’m practicing self-hypnosis (where you follow the same path in your mind towards a relaxed place), I get kinda lost just before I reach that place. (that’s not very clear is it ? I’ll explain again with the specific example)

So first I relax and breathe and all that. Then I imagine being on a path in a wood. I try to feel the soft soil touching my feet. I can smell the woods and I feel a comfortable breeze around my body. Then I walk down towards a little house noticing the nice roof and the flowers in front of it. Through the door comes a smell of a nice soup and soft music. I walk in and see the structure of the house. I notice a picture on the wall from a little plane with me on the wheel (my dream). Next to it is a certificate with my name on it saying that I completed the being-a-pilot course. Then I walk out on the terrace and sit down. In front of me is a nice lake with trees and stuff. Then I am in my relaxed place. But last times I didn’t get any further that the picture of my plane. A few minutes later I noticed that my mind had wondered off completely on other things and I was about to fall asleep.

My own explanation for it is that I’m getting better in hypnosis, but I might need a guidance since my conscious mind loses control. Maybe I should make a recording or something to guide me.

Day #19 New System #2 coming ?

By now, the discovery that Sublimation only works as a placebo has found its way well and firmly into my brain. (funny isn't it, that you have proof that your mind alone can achieve all these things, but as soon as you discover that you're being tricked, you can't do it anymore). So I've given up all hope that it will have a lot of effect if any (but I'll keep trying).

In a newsletter from Lisa Diane (an amazing woman who got out of depth from over $50.000 in the blink of an eye and now lives in wealth (see the link in my links section to find out more)), a new self-hypnosis technique to change your mind is presented. It's called AudiNeuro Technology.

I'm interested, but I don't have the money to purchase it (in depth for over 7000 €)

So, I've asked them to help me out and in return I will help them out (and in return they will help me out again :-) ).

The reason why I could help them out is because I'm a pretty skeptic person and I haven't been familiar for very long with all this so I am in no way involved with any of this which makes me a good reference. And in turn they will generate traffic to my blog as well, since they'll use me as a reference. That's what I call symbiosis !!

Day # 17 : Sobering up

This forum that I found here contains a reply from a pro which says:

Research shows that subliminal messages have only the effect that the user expects, not the effect of the message on the recording.

That’s kind of a disappointment. The thought of this possibility has crossed my mind, but I’ve been kind of ignoring it, but when I see black on light-blue…

However, I will keep on practising it. When I receive this free ebook (as mentioned in the previous post) I will start exercising that and in the mean time, who knows, it might do something since I have been expecting results (I only never fully believed in it)

But then again, who believes in Quantum mechanics, superstrings and the holographic universe ? And there is more pro than against material.

Well, the experience will teach me

Day #16 Doubts taken away

But not completely, because they were always there J

I found this website where you can buy a software which will bomb you with subliminal images of your choice.  The other program kind of does the same as what I’m doing.  I haven’t checked the software yet (you get a 7-day trial).

But what interested me more is this topic

Do Subliminal Messages Really Work?

And a quote from this website:

Simply by letting a message run on your computer while you do other computer-related tasks, you can improve your life. Imagine becoming smarter, making more money, or improving your relationships automatically!  Imagine losing weight, dropping the smoking habit, and eating healthier by doing nothing at all!

Now that is exactly the information I wanted to see ! (I know it’s a company trying to sell something, but I am not bying anything…)

Day #16 Doubts

It’s like I getting a little numb for it.

Together with that comes the fear that it is not gonna work in the end. And it will probably be the fear that will prevent it from working.

But it’s only been 4 days now, so how could I expect any results already ?

I’ll keep on trying with increased efforts from now on. At least once a day I will try the technique while I’m reading the statements of the page while listening to the audio clip.

Also, I will record the statements all over again. There are some pops and clicks in the recording that annoy me a little and that’s not a good emotion to be incapsulated with the whole process (as your mood influences your ability to absorb).

Day # 15

(Or 3th day after I started my new system.)
I've been enthusiastically playing the clip 3 to 4 times a day now. I don't notice any change yet, but I do feel good about it.
I also experience a thrill and high expectations (which is probably an extra factor that will make it work since motivation combined with a positive emotion can only be good right ?)

There is still that chunk of non-believer, of course, but that will slowly change

The situations in which I played the clip varied from in bed, in the car, doing the dishes, reading or writing something, doing hypnosis, designing.
My impression is that it has most effect in the car, in bed and under hypnosis, because then I'm relaxed and I think about what I hear.

The method where I got this from says that you don't have to listen actively to make it work.
In this article they also suggest reading out loud the statements while listening to the clip. But (check this out!)
you should start with another one then the statements which is playing.

Apparently this confuses your sub-conscious so much that it works faster.

(I've tried this once. Exhaustive)

Different Areas

(orig timestamp 7 july 2007 20:41 (am))
A little bit more information about the the targets of these sessions.

Since I’m using 19 different statements in this technique, I’m targeting also different areas that I want to change.
Some are close and easy some are still very far and difficult. I expect the difficult areas to show more impact than the other ones.

For example:
One of the statements
You appear confident, warmth and friendly which makes you popular amongst people
This statement’s target is obvious.
It instills the believe that I am all these things which will me make them exercise them more and improve them faster.

This is rather easy because I already think of myself as confident, friendly and warm (although I certainly want to achieve a great improvement one this one)

Another one says:
You can read body language effortless and understand the situation therefore clearly.
Again is the target obvious,
to gain more communication skills thus improve my communication

Although this is from a different order. I do know about body language because I’ve read things in the past, but with recognizing behavior in people I feel still very uncertain.

A third one is to surprise myself.
The statement is:
You believe in the natural strength of your body and you feel everyday stronger and your hair is growing in abundance on your head
Target is again obvious, I would say.
Use the natural powers of my body to heal myself. Since this is a little undefined I chose to do the experiment a little more precise
(I’ll be happy too if it works)

Day #14 New System

(orig timestamp 6 july 2007 04:03 (am))
Since yesterday, I've started with a new technique which I actually got out of an e-book to get all the girls you want without any effort.
(I already have what I want, but I felt that I would find valuable information)

As I am aware of the universal rule
"if you want to change your environment, you have to change first"
some of you might know it better as
"If you want your business to grow, you have to grow"

So basically what you have to do to attract woman in your life, you have to change your behavior towards woman.
And your behavior, certainly on an subconscious level is based on what you believe of yourself and your place in this world.
Since this is just an illusion made up by our subconscious all we have to do is change what we think of ourselves too change our reality.

A way to achieve that is repetition. Keep on repeating something and you will believe it
I wrote down 19 positively formulated phrases about what I want to be, but in a way that assumes I already have it. For example:
your mind is focused on what you desire, there is no limit to what can be yours

I recorded all these phrases on my computer, looped them about 10 times and burned everything on a cd The whole thing lasts a good 25 minutes.

I’m quite thrilled for the results !!

Day #1.15 Revelation

(orig timestamp 26 july 2007 01:30 (am))
After another 30 minutes of high brain activity and no sleep, my brain comes up with this. It's a vision that's a step lower than the first one, but along the same line.

I want to give seminaries about everything I know. About positive thinking, networking, self-hypnosis. I want to motivated people and make their life richer. This role has a lot of necessary qualities in common with the role of network-initiator (sell the idea, show the vision, motivate, etc).

Day #1.1 Discovery

(orig timestamp 26 july 2007 01:00 (am))
Suddenly I extract this from my train of thoughts: - She never knows what she wants ! - I know what I want ! - Do I ? - Or do I just think that I know ?

So all that time I thought I knew what I want, but I didn't (or couldn't put it into words) Well, if you'd have asked me yesterday (or any day in the past) you would have heard anywhere between 30 sec and 30 minutes explanation, but you still wouldn't know (because I didn't)

And because of thinking it (and maybe because of the self-hypnosis (after one time ?)) about it, I found a solution. A back to the basics really: I want to be someone I can be proud of. I'm gonna put that on my wall tomorrow.

Day #1. Did it really happen ?

(orig timestamp 25 july 2007 12:45 (pm))
For my surroundings noting has changed, but for me a miracle just happened.

After way too much doubting finally I made the step and tried self-hypnosis. Most important reason not doing it being that I thought of it as a waste of time and maybe also the fear that it proved itself impossible. Fear of getting proof that the impossible really is impossible (while there are so many cases that prove that the impossible in fact, is very possible. But I am moving away from my topic...

This morning I used one of many techniques to implant a suggestion in your subconscious. It is a very simple truc and has nothing magical at all. In fact, what you do is pray to you subconscious mind much in a way you would ask you're older sister for advice.

What I asked today is this: "Reveal my vision in all clarity to me and help me to believe in it so I take appropriate action immediately"

I don't know why I did it actually in English while I'm native Flemish, I guess I associate English more with business. Already I feel different, only 11 hours after the actual session. Different like a train that changed from sitting in the station to actually moving. I haven't gained any speed yet, but at least I'm moving.

I laid my trust in my brain and the answer will come soon.
