Dr Neil Cox of Exeter County Chiropractic did a great talk on 19th March called ‘Think Well’ as part of a series on being more aware of the body, mind and nutrition for better health.
I was grateful to contribute a part about how our minds influence our states, focusing on the mental movies of our subconscious imagination. For those who attended and would like to know more, and anyone else, more information is on the Magic of Mental Movies page here!
Mind control is always an interesting area – The Manchurian Candidate, hypnosis, Derren Brown, the CIA’s secret MKUltra brainwashing program in the cold water and all that kinda stuff.
But the most powerful form of mind control must be to control your own mind, not others. Having self awareness, the ability to recognise when you’re thinking doesn’t make sense. Having the discpline of directing your own mental energy, and actions, to get things done more effectively. Being able to let go of things, whether people, places, objects or old beliefs about things. And also, having the control to reliquish control when need be, and to not live your life in fear of it.
Whilst experience is valuable, having the initial awareness of knowing how to make the most of experience is also vital. This prevents your experiences from just solidifying and reinforcing your mind rather than freeing it up. This is what self help hypnosis is all about.
What makes a person successful? No – its not about intelligence, knowledge, skills or who you know. Its something very simple that you can start doing immediately…
