The Belief Program

Once you start changing what you beleive to be truth all sorts of things start happening and you mostly notice your power increase.

We are always limited to the belief system we believe runs the show, but the exciting part is that changing your belief system no matter what it's founded on will change the way things happen.

The belief program is the operating system and there are other ones we can install that are better at creating more desirable creations.

I, too, want to kick back a bit and not take it so seriously. IM works best when I don't think so hard.

But, that doesn't mean I'm not going to be proactive and work on some of my stinky beliefs. And, due to this thread I have more tools in my toolbox. Thank you.

IM works best with ease because we align more with what and where everything is being created and maintained. Thought is actually not creative, it validates and instructs, but doesn't create, so we create better with less thought when we are aligned with the creative source which of course is present moment awareness.

Through a stone into a storm and it gets consumed instantly.
Through it into still water and it radiates outward forever.

Hypnotism appears to fall into the same perceptual category as accupunture, chiropractics, naturopathy, and other forms of alternative medicine.
The bottom line in all treatment successes still seems to be about the patients
"belief" in the methodology and their willingness to let go of anything but the desire for a positive outcome.

Both hypnotism and acupuncture have worked for me.
I believe in their success, which I guess is really a belief in my own success using those treatments as a prop so to speak.
They also both follow the negative belief breaking formula; by diverting the old belief system long enough from its association in the brain, that a new installation is accepted.

As I write this I am also considering the link between our beliefs and rituals in everyday life.
And I am thinking I want to put some of the awesome suggestions in this thread to work, daily.

There are several reasons for that. First of all hypnosis is not that old a field. The truly efficient hypnosis to date is ericksonian hypnosis and it is less than a century old. It became known to the non-specialists with the creation of NLP. And that's just seventies.
Then, while it is possible to program a person to eat healthy foods or exercising regularly, it is impossible to program a person to become a millionaire. There is no universal path to become a millionaire. There is no agreement that this goal is even desirable, there is no agreement what set of beliefs is necessary to become a millionaire, there is no agreement on what actions must be performed to become a millionaire. And if we throw the time constraints into the mix, it all becomes very uncharted territory.
Even if we just ask the subconscious to do it in the best possible way. Noone will be able to connect the success or the lack of there of with the hypnotic intervention.

Hypnosis is good for the quickly (immediately) achievable goals. Like quiting smoking. That is great. You just stop. If you did it immediately after hypnotic session the cause and effect seem to be there.
With a result that can be years away from the session, it doesn't make a sexy product on the market.

Has anyone had experience with this?

Err. I guess impaul99 describes the evidence of such event above, in the post I was quoting.
I myself did trance induction to stop smoking during my NLP training. The guy did stop smoking for the period of 4 months. Then he started again, but was already in control of his habit and has finally quit after reading Allan Carr's book.

I stopped smoking over 7-8 years ago via hypnosis. When I walked out of the session the desire/compulsion to smoke was gone. My experience was that I had an overwhelming desire to stop smoking, was tired of the habit, repulsed by it and was ready to quit but was unable to override the compulsion (which is a subconscious drive) to smoke. So, since everything else was in line with my desire to stop smoking, the hypnosis was an instant success. I'm still smoke free and don't have any of the hang-ups some ex-smokers have about craving.

Thanks jeff, I might try it. I'm just not sure if I'm open to hynosis. I went to a therapist who specialized in hypnosis years ago, and I couldn't relax enough to go under. Maybe I could now.

I would suggest getting a hypnotherapist, not a hypnotist. The difference, in most states, is that the former is regulated and better trained and the latter does parties, group sessions in hotels and the like. My session lasted 90 minutes and was taped, he suggested listening to the tape for 10 nights consecutively as I went to sleep, I did follow this advice but as I mentioned the effect was immediate and complete. Hypnotism is a skill and not everyone with a certificate is capable so call around, check them out ect...
