Hypnotherapy: changing your life through your subconscious mind

• Have you ever tried to change some behavior through will power-only to end up stuck and frustrated?
• Have you ever tried to use affirmations to manifest your dreams-only to end up disappointed?
• If so, your core negative beliefs may be holding you back.

Change your life by changing core beliefs held in your subconscious mind!

The problem is like a weed in your yard!

Notice the drawing of a weed above. Pretend for a moment, that your mind is like your lawn out in front of your home. Even some of the best cared for yards, if you look close enough, are going to have a couple of weeds! Weeds are interesting because they are so persistent. You see, most of the yard is made up of good green grass, shrubs, and flowers (the good things about yourself). The grass, shrubs and flowers have good roots, but the weeds roots go much deeper. That’s why if you try to remove a weed by cutting it off, or pulling it up and you don't get all of its roots, it is most likely to just come back and sometimes bring more weeds (your personal challenges and symptoms).

Taking this example a little further, you could look at the picture of the weed and divide it up into three distinct areas:

1. Here is the area where the root is. This is equivalent to the subconscious mind, the part deep inside.
2. Here is the area where the grass is. This is equivalent to the conscious mind, the part that is easy to see.
3. Here is the part that sticks up into the air for yourself and everyone else to see, the weed, the part of yourself that you don't like.

The part we don't like may be a bad habit like biting your finger nails, or something more serious like smoking, a phobia, or even some diseases like ulcers.

Some treatments just deal with the behavior or the outward symptom, and that would be like mowing off the weed, it is likely it to return. In the short term you might feel better. For Ex: going on a fad diet and losing weight, however, the weight comes back because the real cause of the excess weight was never eliminated! Then you feel frustrated, and may even gain more weight (more weeds!).

Hypnotherapy done properly will remove the problem at the root by helping the client to see or experience the situation, thought, or idea that started the challenge differently. If the root is removed, then the problem ceases to exist!
