Dealing With Childhood Imprints

This follows my previous post about my own experience in forming conclusions at the subconscious level as a child.

Children respond to comments by their parents, school teachers, guardian or any authority figure in different ways. A parent may chide a child “you are so stupid” when the child is slow at grasping some school work. The intent may be to motivate him to work harder. A confident child may well respond in the required manner and spur on to do better. However, in many cases, a child who is insecure may internalise and accept it as a true statement, although he may actually be intelligent. This childhood imprint can have negative effects in viewing the self as incapable, unworthy and doomed to meet with failure.

Childhood imprints have to be dealt with, in order for the law of attraction to work. The problem is that we would not know what childhood imprints we have. We reap its negative consequences however. We are insecure, unloving, angry, indecisive, etc etc. The negative traits can well be traced back to some childhood imprint; which until today, we may not have realized that we had made a certain conclusion at the back of our minds way back when we were say 3 years old.

Additionally, because of my personal experience, having lived with some of my most bizarre childhood imprints for more than 30 years and dealing with them now, I become more aware of what I say to my own children. I certainly would not want them to form conclusions that are hardly true due to some careless remark that I make. I wouldn’t want to repeat some of the same mistakes my parents have made in my formative years. Understanding more about childhood imprints means that I can be a more responsible parent in the emotional development of my children. Since I am not perfect and may occasionally say the wrong thing without thinking, I know that at the very least, I have the tools to help my children reverse their negative thinking. Hopefully, the law of attraction will work well for them much earlier in their lives.

Accessing The Alpha State

I personally had the most amazing discovery about accessing my subconscious mind just 2 nights ago. Although I’ve not finished the book on The Silva Method, I could not wait any longer. I decided to put what I’ve read so far to use.

I sat down to meditate. With counting backwards from 100 to 0, to my amazement, I reached the alpha state (the state between sleeping and waking). I recognised it immediately as the same state I was in when I tried hypnosis some weeks back. I would have been happy to be in this peaceful state. But I’ve read far enough in the Silva Method book to know what mind control can do.

With great reluctance, I forced myself to move from the peaceful state to visualize what my current lifestyle is and what I would like it to be, using the techniques as taught from the book. It was truly an amazing experience, one that is peaceful and at the same time, filled with images of joy and hope. The feeling was overwhelming: a happy family with my two beautiful girls, having personal freedom and at the same time, enjoying a life of abundance.

After coming out from the alpha state, the lessons from the Silva Method became clear to me. It dawned on me that I’ve not been practising positive visualization in the best way possible since watching the “Secret” movie. While I had tried to visualize what I wanted, I was only doing it at the beta state (the waking state). As the Silva method clearly demonstrated, much more can be achieved in the alpha state. It is the state where your mind is clear and receptive to information. Accessing this state can help remove negative thoughts and beliefs and empower you with new positive ones.

I’m embarking on this experiment. It will be interesting to find out a couple of years from now, whether what I’m visualizing comes true.

Law of Attraction: You Attract What You Think

You attract what you think. This is a universal law that is so profound. When you eminate positive energy, the universe will reciprocate with positive energy back to you.

Just imagine an energy field around you, which you can’t see. When the aura around you is negative, there is no way you can attract good health, wealth and happiness. You may find it odd that no matter how hard you try say at work or in your relationship, things still don’t go your way. It is the energy around that counts! How and what your mind truly thinks has a close causal-effect relationship with the aura around you. As Gary Criag puts it “”The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system.”

The video below says it all. Although it is pretty short, it is to the point. It starts out by asking you relevant questions about whether you are achieving your dreams. Are you sailing or are you drifting? The message is that perhaps, your desired dreams are not happening because of what your mind is thinking.

Accessing Your Subconscious Mind Through Hypnosis

When you think of hypnosis, do you conjure the image of a magician elevating the body of a person hypnotized and asleep? That’s pretty much what you see on TV.

Hypnotherapy is actually a form of therapeutic healing that can help you access your subconscious mind. You may wish to access it to address the blockages to your success. Say you may wish to have more wealth, but your subconscious mind may tell you that you are not destined for a life of abundance.

The brain operates in four general states including full consciousness, hypnotic state, the dream state and the sleep state. These four states correspond to electrical activity in the brain and are defined by frequency ranges on an EEG.

Full consciousness occurs when the majority of the electrical activity in your brain is in the beta range (14-35 Hz). The hypnotic state occurs when brain activity is in the alpha range (8-13 Hz).  The dream state occurs when brain activity is in the theta range (4-7 Hz), and the sleep state occurs when brain activity is in the delta range (.5-3 Hz).  You will need to pass these 4 states sequentially before sleeping or before you wake up.

You spend most of your waking hours in full consciousness. In this state, you are mostly employing your conscious mind to think, reason and judge.

In the hypnotic state, however, the doorway between your conscious and the subconscious mind opens.  This is where you can access memories and store new information. Your subconscious mind “accepts” without questions and without critical analysis. This is where your hypnotherapist can make suggestions to your subconscious mind. This does not mean that  you would automatically accept anything that is suggested. In the first place, your higher self must allow it.

If you find that you have a self sabotage belief that may be blocking your path to a life of abundance and do not know how to access your subconscious mind, you can consult a hypnotherapist for help. Hypnotherapy can also help if you want to lose weight, quit smoking or simply just to clear out your negative beliefs.

Missing Steps To The Law Of Attraction

I’ve been receiving emails with relation to “The Secret” and “The Law Of Attraction” from well meaning friends and have not responded. It is not surprising for them to wonder if I’ve completely disappeared under the radar lately as I do not write as much as before. So I feel inclined to post a little more about I’ve been up to lately. 

Fact is my husband and I have been investigating about energy healing even before “The Secret” was published.  We have been trying out some of the tools and techniques to deal with emotional blockages and powering the subconscious mind. We have long recognized that the subconscious mind is the one that determines our actions and behavior.

Over the last 2 years, and more so recently, we’ve gone for workshops, watch a bunch of tapes, read books and been in therapy ourselves. We learnt that there may be several layers to each emotional blockage that we have.  As we peel off the layers, we begin to feel happier, more empowered, more ready to take on the world.

Here’s the thing that I found out today over lunch with my friend, an energy healer. For the “law of attraction” to work, you need to approach it in a few steps. It is not a simple case of just visualizing about your ultimate dream lifestyle.

She asked me “what happens that while visualizing your desired dreams, your subconscious mind is also telling you at the same time that what you are dreaming about is impossible to achieve?” Know that nagging feeling that I’m talking about here? We all do have the little “voice” in us that doubts, fears and limits us in our thinking. She recommends that there are some work that has to be done even before using the law of attraction.

My secret is also out. I’ve just revealed what I’ve been up to when you notice the long lapse of silence from me. Busy finding out what are my big emotional blocks to success and happiness. Finding out the techniques to get better relationships, better health, make more money and feeling balanced all round.  Finding out the tools so that my kids can also achieve all of these in a shorter time frame.

Hope to get busy with more writings from tips I gather in the field of healing.

Using Mental Pictures For Visualisation

For the law of attraction to work better, it helps to form a mental picture in your mind of what you want. Mental pictures are powerful and leave a stronger imprint in your subconscious mind Also, it makes it easier to connect emotionally when you have a mental picture.

So if you are hoping to be a great public speaker, then form a mental picture that you are up on stage, speaking with confidence. Imagine that as you speak, your audience are filled with positive thoughts like the feeling of being moved by your words or an empowering feeling. Next imagine at the end of your speech, your audience gave you a standing ovation. Feel their love, support and admiration for you.

If you have a problem with visualising this mental picture, there are two simple exercises that you can do to achieve this:

1) You can physically draw out the picture.

Or 2) You can also cut out pictures from magazines for a visual representation of what you want and stick them onto a large piece of paper.

Influencing Your Subconscious Mind To Work The Law Of Attraction

You have two parts to your mind; the subsconscious and the conscious. Your conscious mind is your objective mind. It reasons through using your five physical senses. Your subconscious mind is the the subjective mind. It perceives through intuition. It affects your emotions and is the storehouse of your memory.

Your subsconscious mind wields more power thatn your conscious mind. It can see, hear and know of things without your physical vision. It is also clairvoyant; you can read the thoughts of others without them saying so.

It is possible to influence your subconscious mind for the law of attraction. The habitual thinking of your conscious mind can make deep inroads into your subconscious mind.

If you make it a habit to think of harmonious, peaceful and constructive thoughts, your conscious mind will influence your subconscious mind, In time, your subcious mind will believe it to be true. Your subconscious mind will then bring these thoughts to pass as conditions and experiences. Finally, whatever you have positive affirmed becomes a reality. Thus, you can see that influencing your subconscious mind is a key step for bringing the law of attraction to fruition.
