- These are what I call "rules of your mind."
I created them over my 33 years,
and these rules of your mind are going to help you
powerfully understand the power of hypnosis.
Here is rule number one.
Every thought you think and every word you speak
creates a blueprint that your mind
and body work to make real.
If we just knew that every thought was a blueprint,
we'd think different thoughts, "I'm going to mess that up,
"I've left it too late; I didn't prepare.
"This is all going to go wrong.
"This is all going to end in tears."
If you understood that you are putting a blueprint
in your mind that your mind, body, and psyche
are now working to make real,
you really would stop thinking those thoughts.
You see, in hypnosis, we can use this rule
to form positive blueprints that will change your life.
Imagine you say, "I've got a chronic headache,
"I'm stressed out of my mind, I'm so tired,
"I'm sleep deprived and it's killing me,"
and we get you to say, "I've got a little pain.
"Yeah, I have a little pain, but I'm dehydrated,
"it will go away.
"I am tired, but I'm going to catch up on sleep this weekend
"and be super refreshed."
You see, a situation doesn't need to change,
you need to change.
When you say, "My kids are driving me crazy,
"they're so messy, they're so noisy,
"they're so disrespectful,"
but you add, "Hey, but I love being a parent
"and what they're doing is age appropriate, it's fine."
Then your kids don't need to change getting peanut butter
on your fridge or leaving juice on your kitchen counter,
because you change how you feel.
"Well, this doesn't last; they grow up.
"One day, they'll be gone, I'll have a perfect, pristine kitchen
"and I'll miss them terribly.
"So I'm going to just live in the moment and accept
"this is part of the joy of having children.
"By the way, my problem with the mess
"is someone else's fantasy dream.
"Someone would spend $20,000 on IVF to have what I have,"
then you start to feel different.
So, in hypnosis, we use this rule.
Every word and thought is a blueprint you have no choice
but to move towards to get you to change your words
which means you are changing your blueprint.
If you eat a cake and go, "I know I'm going to get fat now,
"I gain a pound when I look at food,"
that thought creates cortisol,
a stress hormone that encourages your body to gain weight.
If you eat a cake and go, "Well, I'm not really a cake person.
"My diet is 80% great, so my body is fine with the odd cake.
"And anyway, I have such a fast metabolic rate
"and such great digestion, it's not going to make any "difference
"to my healthy, perfect body,"
then that is a better blueprint.
I invite you to make better blueprints all the time
because it's life-changing.
And here is rule number two, and I love this rule.
Imagination is more powerful than knowledge
when dealing with your own mind
or, indeed, the mind of someone else.
You see, the imagination that says, "I'm scared of flying.
"What if the plane crashes?"
That will affect you more than the knowledge
that the truth is the scariest part of a plane ride
is the cab ride to the airport.
That is statistically more dangerous
than being on a plane, and we know that logically.
Our knowledge knows that, but our imagination says,
"I'm terrified of being on a plane.
"I'm scared of using the subway because it's underground."
We create pictures in our mind
and then we make those pictures real.
And we do that in a completely unconscious way.
When we say, "This is killing me,
"this is driving me insane. I am losing my mind with stress.
"My kid is making me insane.
"My partner's driving me mad.
"My boss is the boss from hell, the bane of my life."
We use throwaway words, but the mind believes they are real.
And we use hypnosis to reverse this in a powerful way.
And here's such a simple rule of your mind
that you already know. Your mind learns by repetition.
You didn't come onto the planet thinking,
"If I look at a cake, I get fat.
"Money slips through my fingers.
"I'm scared of someone rejecting me."
A baby is born and they expect everyone to love them.
In the womb, it's like being in the Hilton in Hawaii.
It's always 75 degrees.
You have 24-hour room service.
And you're born with the belief, "I can have whatever I want."
And then you lost that belief
by having negative things repeatedly happen
or repeatedly stated.
And now, by repetition,
you can reactivate what you were born with;
enjoying being the focus of attention
and knowing you were worth it.
We hear about this so much in school.
If you're learning a new language,
if you're learning to drive on the other side of the road,
if you switch your Blackberry for an Apple phone,
if you switch your desktop to a laptop,
at first, it's a bit weird, within no time
it's so normal you've forgotten,
the old patterns that you used.
If you get out your Blackberry now
you won't even know how to use it,
because when you switch one appliance for a new one,
you quickly forget how to even use the old one
because the mind learns by repetition.
We use this principle in hypnosis, and you can wire in
and fire in great, positive thoughts
and repeat them until they become real.
First, it's what you do; in no time at all,
it becomes who you are.
The easier it is, the more you do it.
The more you do it, the easier it is. And then this is you.
And here's a great rule,
that really needs a bit of explaining.
When you are dealing with the subconscious mind,
the greater the conscious effort,
the less the subconscious responds.
Imagine trying to remember, "Where did I put that book?
"What's the name of that band?
"You know, I love that band.
"I don't know. it's gone."
Because when you are consciously trying to remember,
consciously trying to relax, trying to sleep,
trying to let go,
when you are using your conscious,
your subconscious doesn't bother.
The minute you think, "I don't know where I put that book,
"I'm just going to give up looking, could be anywhere."
All of a sudden, I'm doing something else
and something pops in my head, "Oh, it's just come to me.
"That book is there.
"The name of that band is X.
"That restaurant I went to last week was this."
So when you are wanting to change
and using powerful, wonderful hypnosis,
no conscious effort is required and that's great news.
You simply let in new thoughts, you absorb them,
they take root, they develop, and they shape you.
You see, if you want a flat stomach, you've got to go to the gym
and do crunches over and over again
and the effort will eventually be rewarded.
But here's the great thing about hypnosis,
no effort is required.
It is all subconscious wiring in, firing in, coding in
better beliefs, better thoughts, better language.
And if you want to change, don't try to change.
You see, here's an example.
Imagine as a kid you were made to eat,
I don't know, brussels sprouts or undercooked eggs
or the skin of fish or something congealed on a plate.
If you've ever eaten something that's made you sick,
in that moment, you're leaning over and up are coming the mushrooms
or the shellfish and you think,
"Oh, I'll never eat that again."
And you never have to... People say, "I just can't eat eggs.
"I was made to eat runny eggs.
"I can't eat cabbage, I was forced to eat that at school."
You see, what happened
is your subconscious formed a belief
and the conscious didn't have to do anything.
Vegans don't wake up and go,
"I've got to try so hard not to eat bacon.
"Today, I'm going to really try to resist a burger."
Because the subconscious mind says,
"I couldn't eat a living creature.
"I just couldn't."
No effort is required because it's not what they do,
it's who they are. And you can do the same.
You can let go of consciously trying
and instead do subconscious wiring.
It's so easy.
It will change your life.
It's all subconscious and that's good news.
Here's another rule.
Your mind does not care
if what you tell it is good or bad,
helpful or unhelpful, useful or useless, right or wrong;
it simply lets it in.
And this is positive and negative.
Whatever you tell your mind, it accepts.
When you say, "I know I'm going to mess that up.
"I'm no good at relationships.
"I don't like people looking at me.
"I'd love to write a book,
"but I just couldn't cope with the rejection.
"I really want a great business,
"but I don't want to work weekends.
"I think my marriage would suffer so much
"if I had to work for myself."
Whatever you tell your mind, it believes it.
It's like lemon, you've told your mind you're eating a lemon,
and that wasn't good or bad, it was neutral,
but your mind believed it,
and your body reacted immediately
to what your mind believed, what you told it.
So your mind does not make a distinction
between what's good and bad.
Here's a thing,
why don't you try saying, "I am not enough.
"I'll never be enough. I'm not good enough.
"I'm not smart enough.
"I'm not interesting enough."
In fact, close your eyes and say, "I'm a loser.
"Everything I touch goes wrong.
"I'm never going to be enough.
"I'm not tall enough, rich enough, smart enough,
"attractive enough," and you feel that.
And now, close your eyes and go, "I am enough, I'm amazing,
"I'm talented, I'm gifted, I'm worthy enough,
"lovable enough, attractive enough, smart enough,
"I am enough."
Since your mind does not care
if what you tell it is good or bad, right or wrong,
you might as well tell it something amazing.
"I'm going to fail at that interview," "I'm going to make it."
"I'm scared of driving on the freeway,"
"Driving on the freeway is easy.
"It's all straight."
"I'm worried about getting it wrong,"
"I'm certain I'll get it right."
Remember, if your mind doesn't care,
you might as well tell it amazing things,
because you have nothing to lose except fear,
and everything to gain.
