So the destination is the subconscious mind, which is what? There is a part of our thinking which appears totally Automatic, things we do with out the benefit of thought, but in truth this part of our thinking has been set for us by many outside sources. Yes, it does benefit us in many ways, Such as breathing, keeping our heart beat steady and strong ,keeping our human body working as a well oiled machine, but it also is what allows us to drive a stick shift car, or walking in a dark room in our house, it’s the part that guides without reasoning all the things we have learned to do as part of our everyday life and it’s this part of the brain waves that the Hypnotist inputs by repetitive statements and though suggestive wording positive changes that will affect your everyday life in many beneficial ways.

The subconscious mind is the storage locker for our emotions and reactions to the world we live in, we need to have the function of an Autopilot, the conscious mind can only hold so much, and that which is deemed as routine is moved to the subconscious mind. The movements needed to perform your daily skills, old memories that have occurred good or bad are imprinted here. This is the mind of the imagination, of dreams, of insights. At the same time this is the mind of defense, it enacts the emotions as reactions to the surroundings we find ourselves in. This state of subconscious does not think by logic, only by reactions, it has no judgment as to the reactions, it does not separated between good and bad it only reacts! And most of these reactions have been taught to us by the world we live in, of what we have been told over and over as correct.

Take for example the subject of tattoos, at one time we were told over and over that anyone with tattoos was someone to be avoided at all cost, they were the underbelly of the world, and our reactions followed suit. Now this reaction has changed because the Input has changed. It’s this emotional teaching that has resulted in the hate in the races, and if you look around you can see how this Inputting is done everyday to our unknowing mind.

It also should be noted here that the subconouis mind has also the imprint of chemical needs, and many things we see as Habits are the calling for these chemicals that we have been imprinted as needing. On the other side of things is the Muscle imprint that helps us in the simple task of walking or the more complex task of Yoga.

In many ways the art of Hypnosis does fall within the realm of the persons imagination, yet as we have noted here, science has proven the fact that the brain has the ability to changed its elecical state, the process of Hypnosis is to assist you in reaching and staying in the Alpha/Theta (or deeper) state of mind, which suggestions that are given are accepted as solid fact of the biological human being, and as such the suggestions do affect the Automatic thinking and can change ones entire life.
