Meditation - In Conclusion
Stress is the greatest problem for people in the modern world,
and it's much worse than just health problems such as heart attacks that are
brought on by too much stress for way too long.
Stress impacts EVERYTHING.
Stress kills our libido, our enjoyment of life; stress causes
disturbed emotions of anger, rage, sadness and depression; stress makes us
clumsy; stress causes us to make mistakes and worst of all, stress makes us
think stupid thoughts (we become "stress stupid") and it cuts off the internal
flow to our creative and innate talents and abilities.
It is clear that we ALL need to de-stress, whether we are
teenagers who suffer from acne and migraines as a result of stress, men and
women in "anger management", authors who suffer from writer's block, business
people who burst a blood vessel, or parents at home who aren't enjoying their
kids but end up screaming at them instead.
So how do we de-stress, and urgently, and FAST?
Many hold that meditating and meditation is the answer to
stress.
Meditating and meditation is the act of entering into altered
states of consciousness, to widen our conscious awareness and to re-connect with
the superconsciousness of our energy mind (subconscious mind, subconsciousness).
This does not happen when we are stressed - a person under
stress is like a TV that isn't tuning properly. Everything is disturbed, mad,
doesn't fit together, there is no clarity.
Trying to meditate when you are stressed is like trying to be
romantic with a pick axe embedded in your forehead - try as you might, it's not
going to work very well if ever at all.
So we have the classic Catch 22 and another big stressor to add
to all of that stress - a stressed person is TOLD to relax and go away and
meditate, but they can't meditate because they're way too stressed!
Long before a person who is under a lot of stress can even BEGIN
to enjoy harp music to relax them even further, they need to be made to slow
down into other states of being, and for that you need HELP.
"A good talking to" by a sympathetic other is the most NATURAL
way of getting rid of stress invented by human kind, and it even exceeds
physical touch approaches in high stress situations; it precedes them too. We
"talk" a potential suicide victim DOWN from the top of a building, not massage
them off; we "talk" an angry man with a gun down into lowering it, we don't pat
him on the back.
That is exactly where hypnosis comes in to help with stress.
Hypnosis is DESIGNED to assist people to ENTER INTO AN ALTERED
STATE of meditation - that is the first purpose of hypnosis, and its speciality.
Often people get confused by the "instructions" of hypnosis -
the post hypnotic suggestions for change that take all the attention, but it is
the fact that hypnosis brings people into the restful meditative state where
they even become RECEPTIVE to suggestions, ideas, visions and new thoughts is
where the power of hypnosis to heal the mind actually lies.
"Going into trance" is something that we learn and we are taught
when a hypnotist talks to us, and talks us down from the stress of the thoughts
that fly here, there and everywhere, into a relaxed state of clarity, and peace,
where your body is at ease and mind healing can finally begin.
THE MORE HYPNOSIS YOU DO, THE BETTER YOU GET AT RELAXING.
It is a learned skill that gets ever better with practice.
So my recommendation to combat stress, and to learn how to
relax and EVENTUALLY to be able to meditate successfully, which then leads to
being able to control one's own stress levels in the real world and to be able
to relax and de-stress even in the middle of a stressful situation, is to DO
HYPNOSIS - and LOTS OF IT.
Rather than to hopelessly try and "find inner peace" so
necessary for mind healing without guidance, do hypnosis inductions. This is as
easy as sitting down in a chair, putting on the headphones and letting the
hypnotist do their job.
Hypnosis CDs, mp3s and tapes are readily and freely available;
there are MANY free downloads and trial downloads available.
Try many, and if you find a hypnotist that YOU GET ON WITH,
someone you find relaxing to listen to and who can make you feel safe, relaxed
and you can feel your stress begin to drain away as they speak with you, you
have struck "Anti-Stress Gold".
Now you have a tool to help you break out of the stress loop.
Use this hypnotist to de-stress you regularly and as often as
you possibly can.
You will find after a few repetitions that you LEARN TO LEARN TO
RELAX and HOW YOU DO THAT.
Now, you are ready to start meditating on your own.
When you are out and about in your daily environment and you
notice your stress levels rising, remember your hypnotist and what they said,
just for a moment. Find out if you can feel your stress beginning to flow away.
Even if your stress abates just a little bit, you can know that you are now on
your way - you have started to learn to control your states of being, your
states of mind.
This is the beginning of a new stress free life.
Life will ALWAYS be stressful.
We need to learn to be able to notice when we're stressed, and
to step back from that into the clarity of altered states.
That is what hypnosis teaches you, teaches you easily, and just
for the listening, no willpower required at all.
When you have learned the basics of relaxation, THEN and only
THEN are you ready to begin to meditate on your own, or to use meditation
devices that require these basic skills of knowing how to shift state in the
first place.
Using hypnosis for stress relief doesn't mean that you should
only look at hypnosis programs designed for stress alone. Remember that what you
want to learn is the skill of altering your states of being, so that you can
also then meditate and get all the health benefits from that; but more
importantly even still, so that you can de-stress yourself in REAL LIFE.
You can choose ANY good hypnotist, and ANY good hypnosis program
that excites you, in a double benefit, because it is not the CONTENT, but the
hypnosis skills themselves you need to learn to put an end to being in stress
states all the time.
You can choose intelligence enhancing hypnosis programs; mind
healing programs; performance programs, health programs - the CONTENT is
irrelevant and just the icing on the cake.
Hypnosis is a WONDERFUL and incredibly USEFUL tool for dealing
with the human mind, for healing the mind, and for getting our thoughts and
conscious mind under control.
Explore. Find a GOOD hypnotist who can teach you the life saving
skill of going into trance, and you get control not just of your stress, but of
your entire WORLD.
