The Mind Is The Builder

I found this article on http://www.aweber.com well worth a look at if you want to learn more about hypnosis and meditation;

Edgar Cayce once said, "The mind is the builder". The mind is a powerful instrument, capable of building our reality. And one method of tapping into the powers of the mind is through the use of hypnosis. Once you identify your negative thoughts, moods or habits, you can then replace those undesirable traits with positive beliefs.

By using the healing power of hypnosis, it's possible to go directly to the subconscious mind to alter most any condition that is troubling us. You see, the mind acts upon the forces of our physical body through the controlled use of suggestion. Self hypnosis is the tool we can use to feed our subconscious with helpful, life changing commands to achieve our goals.

Hypnosis is simply the means to allow our bodies to become relaxed and receptive to the positive ideas we wish to receive in place of our negative thoughts. Being hypnotized is an enjoyable state of heightened awareness. This is a natural condition, a mental state we all experience two or more times a day - when we fall asleep and then again when we wake up.

It is rare for a person to fall into an extreme, deep trance or sleep. Most people will become very comfortable and relaxed, similar to a condition known as natural hypnosis (day dreaming??). If you've ever been so engrossed in a project, or concentrated so intently on a book you're reading that you block out everything around you, then you already know what natural hypnosis is. It's a way to allow our subconscious mind to achieve the goals that our conscious mind desires.
