Instant Results

Since the article on "Becoming Lucky" came out, several people have emailed me asking "But, how do I become lucky NOW, how do I get instant results?"

You get instant results by getting into a state of consciousness of oneness - where there is no differentiation between yourself and what you desire to experience. In that state of consciousness there are no obstacles, there is no friction between conflicting ideas, and consequently there is no time lag. In that state of consciousness you perceive the world as your Self, realizing that the subject (you) and the object (whatever you are perceiving or desiring), your inner and outer worlds are all one and the same.

To practice this, as you move around in the world of form, you maintain your awareness on the unity which exists beyond all physical appearances. You may look at the computer and still have an awareness that from the perspective of quantum physics it is ultimately made out of subatomic particles, out of pure energy, or if you like spiritual terminology, that it is made out of spiritual substance - out of the same spiritual substance that everything is created. You can think of it as the Light.

Many years ago I had some problem with digestion for several months. Nothing I ate seemed to agree with my stomach. I tried different ways of preparing food and some natural remedies, but none of it helped. One day I was fed up with suffering so I put a plate with food in front of me and took few minutes to contemplate the fact that on a subatomic level the food on the plate and my stomach are made out of the same substance and that therefore they must be harmonious. I perceived the food on a plate and my stomach as being made out of divine Light and then I ate the food with this state of consciousness and the stomach problem disappeared. It was instantly gone as I got into what I like to call "the right state of mind".

If you take some time each day to contemplate your oneness with everything, you will begin to accustom yourself to this state of consciousness and to impress it upon your subconscious mind - thus dissolving inner obstacles and conflicting ideas. In turn whatever crosses your mind will begin to manifest faster and faster and many times you will have an experience where one moment you think of something and the next moment you experience it in your outer world, because you are eliminating differentiation between the two, and you are consequently eliminating the time lag.

You introduce a time lag in the realization of your goals when you have conflicting ideas. Conflicting ideas create friction. You introduce a time lag in the realization of your goals when you start mentally comparing ideas and experiences - instead of just fully focusing on the present moment.

The ideal state of mind for practicing self-hypnosis is as if you were conducting an experiment. You don't know what is going to happen because even if you had hundred or thousand hypnosis sessions before, each one is unique, so you allow whatever is happening to happen. You are fully present in what you are doing and you are fully focused on your mind-experiment. You are in an open state of mind, filled with childlike curiosity. You are enjoying the experience and you are surrendering to the experience. You can analyze your experience as much as you like before or after the session, but NOT during the session. During the session you allow yourself to surrender totally and completely to a state of consciousness in which anything is possible, you are like a child in a wonderland, and whatever is happening is fantastic.

Many times people begin their explorations of self-hypnosis with this open state of mind, with childlike curiosity and have experiences that are more amazing then anything they could've imagined. When people participate in playing games of chance with this state of mind, they experience "beginner's luck". Note that the beginner's state of mind is totally open, like an empty glass waiting to be filled.

What makes this luck and wonderful experiences evaporate is that once a person has some experience or knowledge, he is now full of preconceived ideas and as he drags them into new experiences, he is like a full glass that doesn't have any space left to receive more. It becomes more challenging for the person to put all that he has experienced, all that he has read, all that he knows aside and to experience the freshness of each new moment, of each new experience, to experience fully the magic of whatever is present right now.

What makes hypnosis work is this one-pointed focus on the present experience, where you are so totally immersed in your subjective experience - in whatever is going on right now, in whatever you are creating right now with your thoughts and emotions - that nothing else exists in your awareness. It doesn't matter what you do with your body - whether your body is still or you are moving around, but your mind is so totally absorbed in your subjective experience to the point that you begin to experience yourself as the realized outcome of your session - as your goal manifested right now.

Creative Problem Solving

We are all creative creatures, though when faced with challenging situations, our minds can get so wrapped around the problem, that we find ourselves unable to see even a hint of a possible solution. Other times, even though the best solution is obvious, we may feel reluctant to acknowledge it because it feels uncomfortable.

Several perplexed women emailed me for helpful suggestions. They wanted to know what can they do with the husbands they love, but who have become devout womanizers. When the wives pleaded with their husbands to abandon the thrill of new conquests, the husbands just grinned and said, "You must be kidding, honey." These guys couldn't care less for what their wives want or feel or say.

When they emailed me, the women were hoping for a hypnotic spell or a magic word they can use on their straying husbands. The first magic word that popped into my mind was "divorce", followed by more words of wisdom "drop him, let go and move on with your life". Even suggesting hypnosis recordings like "Get over that relationship" or "Attract your ideal love relationship" didn't seem to be viable options because the women still feel deeply attached to and dependant on their husbands. These women want to know what else they can do to convert men, who now look more like frogs, back into princes charming who seduced, married, and promised to honor and cherish them forever.

Sometimes words alone do not work, at least not when spoken directly. Indirect hypnotic language, metaphors, scrambled sentences peppered with meaningful words can work if used skillfully. It takes less time to act out of character. Do something unexpected, even outrageous. Become unpredictable. Become mysterious. Get busy with something that genuinely makes you feel good about yourself and about your life. Surround yourself with people who share your interests and who appreciate you. Reinvent yourself.

Of course, a woman preparing food for her husband could unleash all her feelings and passionate desires into the food and chant over it something like "By the power of three times three, forever faithful to me you'll be", while imagining her husband having eyes only for her and transforming himself into the prince charming she married. Then, wait and see what happens. This would make her at least temporarily feel better, even if the rake remains determined to follow in the footsteps of Casanova.

A more spiritual approach would be to send love and blessings to the straying husband, let him live his life in any way that makes him feel happy, and then pray for a suitable companion and a happy marriage in general - regardless whether it turns out to be with this man or with someone else. Appropriate affirmation at this time may be "If my husband is perfect for me, may he be faithful to me. If he is not meant for me, I am ready to let go and move on." And then pay attention to what happens.

When we find ourselves in perplexing situations we can program our subconscious minds for an insight into the challenging situation and for a solution through a prophetic dream. A Prophetic Dreaming hypnosis recording can guide you through this process.

Questions that may stimulate further insight into the problem and bring about the solution are: "How can I benefit from this situation?", or "What can I learn from this situation?", or "How can I turn this situation around?" To keep your wits around you and your mind subconscious searching for positive outcomes in any situation, you can remember to repeat often "Something good comes out of everything."
