Learn Self Hypnosis Techniques to Improve Your Life
Getting past the conscious mind into the subconscious is the only way to effectively deal with mental, emotional and physical habits. Your conscious mind will always get in the way of change. It will protest, “You can’t do that, you’ve always done it THIS way! Change is BAD!

How the Brain Works and How Use It Effectively
Imagine brain development as a “Y” shape. The stage of infancy and early childhood is at the base of the Y. The junction of the column and the two arms of the Y represent a 10-year old child who functions consciously in alpha without going to sleep.
