What is the Conscious & Sub Conscious mind?
The Conscious mind, when faced with something “good or bad, fun or tragic”, goes to the Subconscious for a memory that will give a clue how to respond. The Subconscious mind sends that memory to the Conscious mind. Our “Critical faculty” filters what is sent to the Conscious mind and does not allow the cause of the true “hurtful memories” to surface. This means that the person reacts to the memory stored in the Subconscious without understanding why. The result: an “uncalled for” reaction to a certain issue in their life.Through Hypnosis, we bypass the “Critical faculty” and have access to the Subconscious mind. Once the real problem or the “Cause” has been uncovered and healed, the Subconscious is positively re-programmed and the memory sent to the Conscious mind is therefore based on the new positive programming, causing a person to behave in a new positive manner.
