Deep Trance Now Hypnosis Articles

Music is intimately related to the subconscious mind because it stirs your emotions. It can also create changes in your energy field, but because this is such extensive topic, more about that in the future newsletters.

Perhaps you can recall listening to an advertisement and finding the tune replaying in your mind over and over, even if you didn't like it. It just stuck in your mind. And while there are times when you may be consciously aware of the suggestions that impressed themselves, through music, into your subconscious mind, there may be many times when you'd just unconsciously act on those suggestions without any conscious awareness of why you're acting in a certain way. Big corporations spend billions of dollars on advertisements in order to create exactly that effect - to get you to purchase specific product or to act in a certain way.

Knowingly or unknowingly, all of us get affected by music we listen to and recently I have received an email I'd like to share with you:

"I want to tell you a story that you may find interesting.

About two weeks ago whenever I walked on the streets, people would stare at me. I am not used to it, so at first I thought that there was maybe something odd about my outer appearance on that day. I looked in the mirror and there was nothing strange about either my clothes or my hair - I was totally normal. This lasted about a week - day after day. I must say that I was quite amused by all this, particularly because sometimes I would notice that these strange gazes were in fact gazes of admiration.

Later, however, I have discovered the possible cause of all this - a song. An ordinary pop called "Superstar" by Jamelia. Basically, during that week I used to listen to this recording with my headphones while being engaged in other activities (such as working) sometimes without even noticing. One of the main phrases of the song that are repeated over and over again in the song are "You've gotta be a superstar, 'cause you've got eyes on you no matter where you are." My subconscious mind understood the lyrics literally and please: wherever I would go I "had eyes on me".

I later decided to stop listening to the song and noticed that gradually people stopped staring at me. Isn't it amusing?"

I suppose you can imagine what happens to people who listen over and over to music with words such as "I am a loser" and similar. Perhaps you want to pay closer attention to the lyrics of the songs you're listening to. It's also good to remember that when we watch TV, we are in a state of trance and that what we watch in that relaxed and entranced state does get into our subconscious minds to a lesser or greater extent - so you may want to choose your listening and watching menu wisely.

Another aspect of music, is the music itself. I imagine that you are already aware that some music helps you to feel more relaxed, some music makes your body move maybe even dance, some music perhaps makes you want to make love, while other makes you want to go and start a war, or on a more positive note, just get up and engage in physical exercise.

When you are doing self-hypnosis without hypnosis recordings, you may want to pick some music, that by itself elicits within you the emotional state that is most appropriate for the goal you are working on. The music doesn't have to be slow and relaxing - it may be quite energizing. If you feel like moving and dancing, rather than laying down, it's OK, to use your body and dance your self-hypnosis outcome. There may also be times when you'd prefer to relax into your self-hypnosis outcome, so to speak, and there may be times when you feel more like getting into physical action - rhythmic, repetitive movement is trance-inducing.

One of the main reasons for using music for self-hypnosis is to help you maintain mental and emotional focus on your outcome - and as I mentioned, the right music will take care of the emotional focus and by right music I am referring to music that helps to elicit within you emotions that are appropriate for your particular self-hypnosis outcome.

If you're working on increasing sex-appeal, the appropriate music would be the one that makes you feel sexy; if you're working on increasing financial abundance, the appropriate music would be the one that brings feelings and images of opulence and wealth; etc. I will write more about healing aspects of sound and music in forthcoming newsletters.
