Dalai Lama Quote

Hi

Sometimes I think a lot, 'how can this be possible'. Since attending my weekly hypnosis class, I've discovered this is my conscious brain at play. Instead of accepting good things, I would always analyse why a good thing would happen and then perhaps prevent it from happening as my conscious brain couldn't understand why it was possible for it to happen. Crazy eh!!!! But that is what our conscious brains do, they like to analyse everything, which may hold you back from achieving your goals or dreams, if your conscious brain can't work it out and therefore can't accept it.

My other recurring thought which I had been having was, 'how could hypnosis possibly create long lasting permanent change, especially when someone has challenging deep ingrained negative programming, belief systems etc'. This may seem like a strange thought as I have personally benefited and watched many others benefit from hypnosis even when they are challenged by deep ingrained negative thought patterns, and then I found the quote below posted by Dalai Lama 26th September 2011 which answered my question and I thought I have to share this one.

Dalai Lama quote
'The nature of the mind is such that if certain mental qualities are developed on a sound basis they not only remain but they also increase. In fact, once properly developed the mind's good qualities eventually increase indefinitely. Therefore spiritual practice brings long term happiness and inner strength'

So it now makes sense to my critical brain (conscious brain) if a hypnotherapist installs new suggetions on a sound basis, not only will they remain but they also increase. Which has in fact happened to me, so I know this is a truth for me.

Anyway I'm sure many out there may of had the same question, and perhaps the answer I found may help in some way.

Hope you enjoyed my blog today.
