Hypnosis engraves messages on mind
By Jim Quinlan -Manatee/AM

Look into these words. Read them slowly. Carefully. You are getting sleepy. Your eyelids are getting heavy. They feel like manhole covers.

We are about to reprove your subconscious mind. Tap the real powers within you. Make you into the person you really are.

Don’t believe it? Doubt there’s an inner self, a subconscious mind which is being half in check by bad habits?

Rena Greenberg is a Bradenton hypnotherapist, a Brooklyn College graduate with a degree in biopsychology.

Rena knows all about the inner self. She also knows what it takes to free that power plant that exists beneath the surface of the conscious mind.

Besides her normal practice, Rena supervises smoking-cessation and weight-loss seminars for 40 Florida hospitals in what is called Wellness Seminars, Inc.

Her primary tool is hypnosis, and if you have any doubts about what you can achieve, then the following may change your mind.

Usually we think we’re in charge of our everyday routines. Not always so, said Rena.

There is an inner you, a subconscious part, which actually controls most of what, we do. Unfortunately for most of us, it is packed with blocks, which stand in the way of productive performance.

Evidence of this is in the many good intentions humans have which never see the light of day.

For example: A smoker who wants to quit but frequently fails using willpower alone probably has the image ingrained in their subconscious mind that cigarettes are too important to discard. Maybe the image is smoking is cool; maybe we feel it keeps us thin or makes us relax. Maybe we fear going without a cigarette would cause us to fall apart.

It’s the same with losing weight. For some reason we have a subconscious idea that we are destined or deserve to be overweight.
Most people who fail say they’ve tried to stop smoking or eat and exercise normally, but it just isn’t possible. With a subconscious acting against them they are probably right. The subconscious imagination is stronger than willpower every time, Rena said.

With the aid of hypnosis, that analytical conscious mind is by-passed leaving the subconscious open for reprogramming.

“Most of us are operating on automatic pilot anyway, going through routines strictly by habit we’ve been programmed to follow,” she said.

Her response, remove the subconscious obstacles and a new behavior will follow.

With hypnosis you can engrave a new message, perhaps that cigarettes are no longer pleasurable or that weight loss is not impossible.

Since the subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between what’s real and what’s imagined you need only plant a positive image and then get out of the way.

Now all this doesn’t happen overnight but with practice you can clear the bad stuff out.

It can help. It can. It can.
