My Little Robot

Polly Humphreys – Certified Hypnotist and founder and owner of Alternative Wellness & Beyond has chosen to share this educational article with you to help you discover and realize just how powerful your mind and your thoughts are; with frequency they help you or hinder you. You become your created version of your reality. Your subconscious mind (‘inner-robot’) houses your self-image and beliefs; it ‘robotically’ follows your instructions. Your thoughts are like a script; your ‘inner robot’ (your mental computer) - reacts and responds according to your thoughts; it memorizes them, and then acts accordingly. If a belief and a behavior ‘go on’ long enough, you develop a pattern. After you read My Little Robot, take time to assess – ask yourself if your ‘robot-like’ self-image is serving you or hindering you?

Rules of the Mind

Rule number 1: Every Thought or Idea Causes a Physical Reaction.

• Worry triggers change in our stomach - angry thoughts stimulate our adrenal glands, increasing adrenaline in the blood stream. Anxiety, negative stress and fear have a direct affect on our mind-body-spirit connection; studies have shown that you can not separate the mind-body-spirit connection.
• Ideas that have a strong emotional content, almost always reach the subconscious mind, (our ‘feeling mind’). Once accepted, these ideas continue to produce the same bodily reaction over and over again. In order to eliminate the chronic - negative reactions, we must reach the subconscious mind. Hypnosis is a ‘mind-body’ modality, permitting direct access to your subconscious mind – allowing permanent and healthy changes to be achieved.
• How are your thoughts personally affecting you and your health?

Rule number 2: What is Expected Tends to be Realized.

• The brain and the nervous system respond to mental images – (positive and negative images). The mental images formed in your mind become the blueprint that the subconscious mind uses; we then ‘act’ to carry out those images, (impressions).
• Life is a self-fulfilling prophecy – a person usually gets what he or she expects. Because our positive mental expectancy is a subconscious mental expectancy, ‘we become what we think about’. Our physical health is fundamentally dependent on our mental expectancy. What the mind expects to happen tends to be realized; negative expectations equal dead end thinking and have a negative impact on our lives.
• Are your thoughts and beliefs affecting your expectations in a positive manner?

Rule number 3: Imagination is More Powerful than Knowledge When Dealing With Your Own Mind or the Mind of Another.

If you can’t see or visualize or imagine yourself doing something or achieving something, you literally will not do ‘that something’.

• Any idea lead by a strong emotion such as love, anger, and hatred usually can not be modified through the use of reason.

• Because imagination is more powerful than knowledge, at Alternative Wellness & Beyond, via hypnosis - reason is easily overruled by imagination.
• We form images and impressions daily in our subconscious mind. In hypnosis, you can form powerful subconscious mages and, you can remove - alter or amend unwanted unhelpful ideas.
• How does your imagination and self-talk influence you and your outcomes?

Rule number 4: Once an Idea has Been Accepted by the Subconscious Mind, It Remains Until it is Replaced by Another Idea.

Once an idea has been accepted, it tends to become a fixed habit of thinking. This is how habits of action are formed, both good and bad. First comes the thought and then the action follows.

• If we desire to change our actions, we must begin by changing our thoughts.
• With the desire for change, ‘fixed’ ideas can be changed via hypnosis, no matter how long the idea has been present. We act upon ‘that realization’ and we become what we focus on.
• In hypnosis, we can form beneficial, new valuable images within the subconscious mind, and can alter or release and improve ideas, thoughts, attitudes and beliefs that do not benefit us. If we don’t alter unsupportive ideas, we will continue to act on them and they become habits of thinking and habits of action.
• Keep in mind - no matter how long we have had ideas, they can be changed to benefit us. Once self-suggestion has been accepted by your subconscious mind, it becomes easier for additional, valuable suggestions to be accepted and acted upon.
• Do your habits of thinking enhance or hinder your successes?

Rule number 5: Each Suggestion Acted Upon, Creates Less Opposition to Successive Suggestion.

• Once a self-suggestion has been accepted by your subconscious mind, it becomes easier for additional suggestions to be accepted and acted upon.

Rule number 6: An Emotionally Induced Symptom Tends to Cause Organic Change if Continued Long Enough.

It has been recognized by medical professionals, that negative ideas held in the subconscious mind can affect our wellbeing.

• Many common maladies (headaches, hives, asthma and certain allergies) are often recognized as being emotional rather than being physiological causes.
• If you continue to fear illness and/or continually focus on ill health, in time, organic changes must occur; your worries and fears can turn into anxieties.
• Are your self-suggestions (your self-talk and your thoughts), affecting your health?

Rule number 7: When Dealing with the Subconscious Mind and its Functions, the Greater the Conscious Effort, the Less the Subconscious Response.

• The more you ‘try’ to make something happen, the harder it becomes to accomplish that. Learn to develop a positive mental expectancy that your problems can and will be solved.
• FYI: The word ‘try’, to the ‘inner mind’ means failure; instead, say, “I’m giving it my best.”

Because everything begins with a thought, the human mind can be compared to a diamond mine, it never runs out and is priceless; it has unlimited potential. Author Napoleon Hill noted, “More gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has ever been taken from the earth.” Most of us spend a lot of time thinking how we want to change other people and make various changes in the world, yet very few of us give significant thought to how we can change our thinking and positively change our lives. Even individuals with strong self-awareness who know the problem lies inside of them, often have difficulty getting to the root of their issue. They desire to change but become frustrated, because they can’t seem to get deeper insight to the problem to make the necessary and beneficial changes. It is recognized that in hypnosis, we can easily tap into the ‘Root Cause’ of the problem; we can then determine, reduce or resolve the exact reason(s) and make valuable beneficial changes in our happiness and our wellbeing.

At Alternative Wellness & Beyond, via hypnosis - Polly Humphreys will assist you in gaining direct access to your ‘diamond mine’. Hypnosis is a very safe, wellness modality that provides direct access to our subconscious mind. It is the most powerful part of our mind where permanent change can occur. The subconscious mind holds all permanent memory; we act on all information stored there, (the emotions, habits, beliefs and attitudes) that we deem believable. We operate and become who we think we are based on our beliefs. In hypnosis, we have the capabilities to understand our thinking, change our beliefs, our expectations, as well as change attitudes and behaviors that do not benefit us.

Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that occurs spontaneously in nearly every person. We easily and naturally go into a safe, trance like state when we are focusing on our feelings, while watching a movie, reading a book or while driving. How many times when driving your vehicle, have you missed your street, simply because you were occupied in thoughts? In theory, hypnosis is the bypass of the critical factor (the blocking part of the mind), and the establishment of acceptable, selective thinking.

• The individual is always alert and in control while in hypnosis. No one can make you do anything. It is when we are able to identify and understand the ‘Root Cause’ of the underlying issue of our fears, expectations and beliefs, that we are then able to make necessary changes in our thinking and in our lives.
• With hypnosis, you can easily change your unwanted beliefs, expectations, attitudes, and behavioral habits. Hypnosis is a valuable tool that can definitely create a positive impact in your life; you reap wonderful rewards for positively changing your thinking.
