7th Rule: An emotionally induced symptom tends to cause organic change if persisted long enough.
It has been acknowledged by many reputable medical men and women that more than seventy percent of human ailments are functional rather than organic. This means the function, of an organ or other part of the body has been disrupted by a reaction of the nervous system to negative ideas held in the subconscious mind. cause the nervous system are linked to the organs, glands and other part of the body. After all, we are a mind in a body and the two cannot be separated. Therefore, if you continue to fear ill health, constantly talk about your “nervous stomach” or “tension headaches,” and have mental image or feeling of such event happening, then in time to come, the mind will eventually make the shift and command the organic changes to occur.
6th Rule: When dealing with the subconscious mind and its functions, the greater the conscious effort, the lesser the subconscious response.
I’m sure you have had insomnia at least once in you life, and at that time, did you recall how you get to sleep? use your “Will power”? Try very hard to get to sleep? I bit not, cause the harder you try the more difficult it becomes. The harder you try to go to sleep, the more wide awake you become.
This proves why “will power” does not really exist! you’ve learned the law of reverse effect. The rule is, “When dealing with the subconscious mind, TAKE IT EASY.” As your faith in your subconscious mind increases, you learn to “let it happen” rather than trying to “force it to happen.” Some people want to relax so badly that they try to help it happen. This keeps the conscious mind active and hence moving toward the different direction of relaxation. and relaxation becomes impossible. The understanding and implementing of these mental laws will make you get into a hypnotic trance easier. and,
Do you realised why some time you are working on some tough problem that you can’t solve for days and the solution just happened after a good rest? that is the power of our subconscious, do not underestimate your subconscious mind for it has more resource and experience than you can imagine comparing to your conscious mind.
5th Rule: Imagination is more powerful than knowledge when dealing with your own mind or the mind of another.
This is an important rule to remember, especially when using self-hypnosis or self affirmation. REASON IS EASILY OVERRULED BY IMAGINATION. why? because reasoning is part of the conscious function, is a logical deduction, no emotion involved, whereas Imagination although is initiated by your conscious, it will arouse some feeling, some emotion, whether you feel good or bad imagining something, you’ll most likely take action toward or against how you feel. This is why some persons blindly rush into some unreasonable act or situation. Violent crimes based on jealously are almost always caused by a overactive imagination. In a lot of cases of mis-understanding, they are almost always caused by someone letting their imagination running wild. Any idea accompanied by a strong emotion such as anger, hatred, love, or our political or religious beliefs usually cannot be modified through the use of reason. Why? you may ask again! this is because our subconscious mind which control the emotion is more powerful and resourceful than our conscious mind, that is why!
In using self hypnosis we can form images in the subconscious mind, which is the feeling level mind, and hence have much better chance in removing, altering or amend old ideas.
