Last year, at this time I have joined an intensive Hypnosis Course. For two full weeks I have experienced and learned a lot about hypnosis; what is hypnosis, how to induce the state of trance, how to conduct a session and how to achieve results in the state of hypnosis, for yourself or for your client!
Two weeks of intense experience, which changed my life almost entirely and turned it upside down … in a positive way! After that, I was able to introspect myself objectively, and I saw that many of my actions in the past were done because of many reasons, but that who decided my actions, my doings was not ME, rather the programs I have “installed” over the years and that were run almost of itself.
Why? Because 90 % of our life is governed by … our subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is like a sponge, suck everything that reaches it. Good or bad! Because it has no power of discrimination. For it everything is information! Only the conscious mind can discriminate.
All the life processes are governed by the subconscious mind, but also our automatic responses, the set of beliefs, the fears. What you have learned by numerous repetitions, like cycling and driving are stored there in your subconscious. Everything you have learned from your parents and society in your first life years and your habits is also stored there in your subconscious mind and is running automatically. That’s why it is so difficult to give up habits and ideas.
Our conscious mind act as a filter to and from the subconscious. To pour into or to retrieve information from subconscious you have to run down the alertness of the conscious mind.
When you are a little child your consciousness is not fully developed, you do not have the power to discriminate. Therefore it is easier to pass its filter in order to implement vital information about your environment. This is somehow meaningful. A little child has to develop the minimum set of capacities to survive in the world, and all this is learned basically from the parents. If the small child had the power discriminate, the leaning process would be very inefficient! But the same moment, apart the essential survival skills for the little being, the parents pour in the head of the child a lots of other things, essential for themselves to but not for life itself like; the own ideas, visions, fears, habits that the child most likely would carry the whole life with him. Is that good or bad? Only life can show that!
For adults, access to the subconscious can be made through endless repetitions or hypnosis. And believe that: you are daily under attack through the MEDIA, the mass hypnosis generator! In this way arise behaviours and manifestations that can be hardly explained. Looking around us is sufficient!
Well, after my father past away I developed an intense fear of death! This intensified after my child was born. However that annoyed me from time to time, but I could cope with it. With hypnosis as an exercise and as not the ultimate scope I succeeded to get rid of it.
How? Exercising what we have learned in the class, we have conducted each other a session of regression hypnosis, that means to go in the past, and even in the past lives to relive and eventually relief some emotional burdens such fears, resentments, dissatisfaction, etc. The steps we should run ware: a happy day in our childhood, the day of the first step we walk, a moment in the belly of the mum and a moment in the past life.
For me, as a really suggestive, imaginative and creative being was not difficult to go through the first three steps. The last one instead was for me very different comparing my colleagues. Each of them could reach a moment in their past life, it was exciting, very imaginative, very powerful. For me was this experience entirely different, because I didn’t land in a past life but somewhere BETWEEN lives. And it was a revelatory moment!
I was found myself floating in space … it was dark, but also full of colour … like billions of galaxies stretching in colourful patterns in front o my eyes. I was light, very light … actually, I felt like bodyless, I was there and everywhere! I felt nothing like the elementary feelings; cold or warm, hungry or thirsty. And I also had no emotions. The status I am founding myself in was complete contentment, blissfulness. It was like, I need nothing anymore, I had everything, I was complete, I was whole, I was … so peaceful, with common words almost indescribable.
And I was in between, there where most people are placing death! If this is death, that it is the most pleasant place to be … It is a reality or just imagination? But who knows what is the reality? The scientists themselves have no clear explanation for what is reality and what is imagination.
By imagining you can transpose yourself into something that for you is utterly real. And ultimately through the power of imagination, we bring in existence stuff in our “real” world.
So, for me, this in-between experience was so real, so powerful, that my understanding of death changed utterly. Death being just only another state of being, I fear it no more!
And still, I am striving for life. In this life, I didn’t complete my way. I know I have a lot of things to do, and I aspire to become whole and complete, not only in death but also in LIFE!
Death is a stripping away of all that is not you. The secret of life is to “die” before you die and find that there is no death.
