Hypnosis mind control techniques are used to control the minds of other people and make them follow your orders. The following article will discuss some hypnosis mind control techniques, that will help your know more about this subject.

You may have heard of many hypnosis mind control techniques that help you hijack the conscious mind of the person under your control and make him do whatever you want. There are many hypnosis mind control stories that show that people did things that they shouldn't have done and have no memory about it. Putting someone under a trance and leading him or her to do things you want is hypnosis mind control. The most famous example of hypnosis mind control stories is of Candy Jones, a famous model and pin-up girl of the 1940s and 50s. She had an amazing hypnosis mind control story that claimed Candy was a victim of mind control techniques of the CIA under the 'Project MKULTRA' of the 1960s.

Hypnosis Mind Control

Hypnosis mind control techniques are not just glam tricks of magicians and showmen. It is a very useful medical treatment that helps many people suffering from various addictions like alcohol, smoking, etc. get rid of it. Hypnosis mind control also help people overcome their bad habits and forget about some of their physiological fears.

Hypnosis mind control has also been used on patients suffering from immense pain due to cancer, grievous accident and burn victims to control the pain and reduce the intensity of the discomfort. It has been found by a study conducted by International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis that hypnosis mind control have found to reduce the feeling of pain by 75% on subjects treated with hypnosis.

Psychologists even try weight loss hypnosis to help people overcome their food cravings and lose weight easily. Pregnant women also undergo hypnosis to help them overcome labor pain and deliver the baby with ease. These were some of the medical uses of medical mind control techniques, but there are a few speculative uses of mind control techniques too.

Hypnosis mind control is used by many skilled hypnotics to persuade people to do something they don't even realize they are doing. The person becomes a total zombie following only the voice that controls it. There are many hypnotic mind control stories you may come across in papers, magazines and all over the Internet that people used hypnosis as a tool to make someone sign the papers to a property or made the cashier in the bank hand over the cash without much resistance or kidnappers hypnotizing children and taking them away. There are even grave stories where one was sexually abused under hypnosis or even made to murder someone.

This shows that hypnosis mind control is a two-edged sword that can be useful and dangerous at the same time. But, can you use hypnosis mind control in your daily lives to get what you want? Can you persuade your boss to let you go home early everyday or convince your teenage son to concentrate on studies. Well, the art of persuasion, also known as hypnosis mind control can be commonly used to get away with minor things in life. Let us see some easy hypnosis mind control techniques that may be useful in our daily lives.

Simple Hypnosis Mind Control Techniques

You carry out hypnosis everyday without even realizing. This hypnosis occurs when you like a person, you tend to follow them. So, if your best friend tells to go out for a movie when you are supposed to sit down to study for the test next day, you follow your best friend to the movie theater without much delay. If someone likes you he may follow all your wimps and fancies just to please you. Thus, you will notice the number of times you said yes to something is when someone you like or are attracted asked you for a favor.

But what about someone who is a total stranger like a salesman or prospective client? Well, you need to follow the hypnosis mind control technique of mirroring people's behavior. How do you mirror someone's behavior to get your way? The answer lies in observing the person carefully and catch some repetitive actions or words the person uses. You need to use the same words or actions while interacting with the person. The person will soon realize the similarities and begin the person will develop a rapport with you.

Hypnosis Mind Control Stories

The best way to control one with hypnosis is use of hypnosis mind control stories. You maybe wondering how can a story be used to control a person? You may have observed that people get engrossed when reading an interesting story or watching movies and try to enact the character that created the biggest impact in their mind. So weave some short anecdotes in your conversations everyday, that will help you control the mind of the other person. You can even use negative sentences to make a person do something you want to. This is just like reverse psychology. Tell the person that he doesn't need to do the thing right now and the person will do what you want immediately.

It is very important to use your words carefully as people immediately imagine an image of the action you ask them to do. When you ask the person not to drop the glass case, he imagines the glass case falling and maybe even drop it. But if you ask the person to safely transport the glass case, chances are that he will just be more careful.

These were just a few techniques that you may try. Hypnotism is an art that one learns after years of practice. When you make someone go under a trance, it is very important to know how to have the person come out of it, without any ill consequences. Many hypnotic's use a clap or click or a word to make a person undergo a trance or come out of deep sleep. You are playing with the subconscious mind and making it more alert than the conscious mind. You never know what the person has stored in his subconscious mind that may prove to be harmful for both you and the person under hypnosis. So be very careful before trying out hypnosis mind control techniques.

You can always use the simple hypnosis mind control techniques in your everyday life and get a good bargain from the salesman or make your husband come home early everyday. All the best and make sure you don't get hypnotized by the attractive person opposite to you in the bar.

How to Talk to Your Subconscious Mind

You can make all your dreams come true, simply by making your mind strong enough to face its desires. Find out how to talk to your subconscious mind, so that you can make your dreams come true...
http://www.jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/pulse/fall2009/images/alumni1.1.jpgThe subconscious mind is the place where we harbor our hopes, aspirations, fears, and memories of the present, future, and even our past. Even though these thoughts are perpetually active and present at all time, we still prefer to keep them buried, so that our secret thoughts are known only to us. It is the ever open and yet locked door to our souls, which manifests itself through the feeling of longing to have something or be someone, or to be able to do a particular act. The subconscious mind represents our true personality, which wishes and waits to be brought forth, only if we allow them.

The reason why certain seemingly ordinary people become successful, is because they kept their deepest desires alive. While they wished for it, they realized that they would have to work upon their wish, in order to see it happen. I'm not saying that if you wish to win a lottery, you will, because it takes more than simply buying the ticket to make a dream come true. Nor am I saying that you won't win, which you might, but in these cases, the odds outweigh the winning prospect. However, being in touch with your deepest desires, will help you stay happy and will give you a sense of direction and goal.

Ways to Talk to Your Subconscious Mind

#1- What Do You Desire?
In order to be able to actually watch your dreams come true, you must be aware of what your heart really desires. You will need to make a mental or written list of all the things that you want. These wishes must be honest and from the very depth of your heart. The list must comprise, how you would like to see your life play out. These wishes need not be futuristic, and can be those which you desire in the present. All in all, you simply have to clear your mind and come up with a few concise and clear wishes. For instance, if you are unemployed; begin by truly wishing for a job which will pay you well and give you mental satisfaction. Ask for a job which you have always desired for, and could never have.

#2- Think of Realistic Goals
Your goals and aspirations must be realistic, attainable, and practical for you to achieve and manage. Only then can you make the first step towards trying to attain your dream. For instance, if you wish to make dancing your career, you must firstly be talented enough to take dancing as a profession. If you know you are not as talented as expected, then you must not waste your time seeking impractical dreams. However, if you know you are really talented, ask your subconscious mind to believe it even more, and ask for opportunities from the universe. The universe will bring your wish to you. How that may happen, is not for you to decide or bother about. All you need to do is ask for a direct and clear wish.

#3- Self Affirmation
You will need to keep reminding yourself about the things you want. You will need to keep asking and reminding yourself about what you desire and expect from yourself. For instance, if you feel you are not good looking enough and feel ugly and insignificant, you will need to tell yourself that you are attractive in your own unique way. You will need to self affirm this thought, by using the words; 'I', 'Me', 'My', 'Mine', and recite affirmations such as:

"I am attractive and I am special, just the way everyone else is."

"My existence is my own, and I have the inner strength to stay positive."


This is a form of self hypnosis or subconscious mind exercise, which you can practice throughout the day and at night before sleeping. Trust me, you will begin to feel more confident about yourself with every passing day.

#4- Imagine What You Desire
When you are asking for a wish from yourself or things beyond your reach, always remember to imagine it. This simply means that you need to visualize yourself living your dream or actually being or doing what you ask for. For instance, taking the example of you wishing to become a dancer. You must visualize yourself participating in a live audition, performing brilliantly, and actually getting selected. This is a form of daydreaming which helps keep our hopes and dreams alive. When you visualize, try to feel every aspect of your thought, as if you are taking active part in it. Imagine yourself to be physically present and practicing your wish. Let this remain in your mind, and you do not need to move your body in any way. Simply meditate in a quiet place, and visualize.

#5- Pen Your Thoughts Down
Write down everything that you expect from yourself and your life in a diary or a journal. Let this diary be accessible only and only to you. This is a book of secrets, which no one must have access to, except you. Only your positive energies must flow through the pages. Always try to keep your diary and your mind recharged with happy vibes. Record the changes you have noticed in your attitude and incidences which occurred that positively affected you. Write these down on a daily basis. Be observant and in sync with your mood and thoughts at all times.

#6- Be Patient & Optimistic
In order to improve your subconscious mind, you need to be very patient, calm, and continually positive about everything that is happening in your life. Take every aspect positively and take lessons from them, even though they may seem disadvantageous to you. Understand that, like everything else in this world, the bad moments too will pass, and good things will come your way. Keep sending out good vibes to yourself, to the universe, and even to others that you seek from or care about

Whether or not you wish to connect with your subconscious mind, is a matter of personal choice. Nonetheless, these are simply suggestions that have worked for millions of people around the world. How you communicate with your subconscious may differ, but the end goal is to achieve a state of well-being and peace.

Mind Maps

The word "map", in Latin, refers to a towel or a napkin. In the olden days, maps were sometimes drawn on a piece of cloth. A map is a representation of reality which implies a point to point correspondence and it is on a predetermined scale.

Mind Maps of Childhood
The beginning of thinking in children is in the form of a map. "Catch them trying to draw a map of a child's mind, which is not only confused ,but keeps going round all the time," wrote J.M. Barrie in Peter and Wendy.

Mind Maps and the Brain
Physiologically, certain portions in the human brain are allotted sensory and motor remote control, of the limbs and extremities. This is a kind of 'mind map' of the human body drawn on the brain. There is a correspondence between each group of neurons in the brain with the actual body part. This "wire up" ensures that the control of the various volitional movements of the body stays within the brain.

Mind Maps and Thinking
The human mind can think of reality, only indirectly. That is, it deals with symbols such as language and images, during the work of adaptation to reality. These processes of adaptation and assimilation, as they occur during the growth and development of the individual have been enumerated by Jean Piaget. He has actually observed four different stages in the development of thinking in the growing child. The child actually "revises" his map of the world over a period of time. Successful adaptation and survival in the world, depends on an accurate representation of reality and also on the subsequent "revisions" of this mind map which occur in the later years.

Mind Maps and Psychologists
Many great researchers in the world such as Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud and others studied the human mind as psychologists and came to the conclusion that the mind thinks .in terms of images. They were the pioneers of the exploration of that enigma which we call the mind! The fairy tale is his mind map; it is his metaphor of the world. This concept was copiously explored by Eric Berne in his book "What do you say after you say hello?"

Mind Maps in Corporate Training
Recently, however, we find the concept of the mind map making its way into various corporate fora. It is being used as a thinking tool.

Tony Buzan is the man to consult here. He has written several books and has explored the concept of mind mapping and its applications in great detail. Since the mind thinks in images, it is useful to put this graphical nature to good use. It may be useful to record ideas during a lecture in a non-linear format. This is done by keeping the central idea in the center of the page. The ideas and concepts which subsequently follow are written radially in the form of a tree or a spray. Such thoughts in a diagrammatic form can be used as a mnemonic aid. It is easier to remember things if they are pictorially displayed.

Unleashing Our Minds



The answers to all our questions lie within. We just aren't looking hard enough. It's time we realized the immense power that lies dormant within our minds.

http://blog.deiricmccann.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Control-Your-Mind.jpg 
As you read these words, your beautiful biological wonder of a brain is interpreting what these peculiar patterns, arranged in a row, we call alphabets, mean. Now you are knowingly smiling with the knowledge of the interpreted meaning. Not only are you able to rapidly recognize each symbol which creates a word, but a parallel phonetic pronunciation is being recited inside your head, piecing the words together like beads on a string to understand the meaning of the sentence. The complexity of these simple feats that we undertake everyday, cannot be understood and the magnificent thing that is our mind, cannot be appreciated, until an effort is made to write an Artificial Intelligence (AI) software program which can mimic this activity. The arrogance of strong AI proponents, who once claimed the mind to be just a software program waiting to be written has been vanquished. They realized the difficulty, when they couldn't write even simple programs, which can mimic the most basic human cognitive abilities. We've cracked the atomic nucleus and landed on the Moon, but how our brain functions, to make these astonishing feats possible, remains the ultimate enigma.

Human Brain - The Greatest Enigma

Consider this. An organ weighing just about 3 lbs., with about 100 billion connected neurons making trillions of connections inside, manages to be 'self-aware', imagine, simulate scenarios, adapt, survive, remold its environment to its liking, understand the working of the universe and question its very own genesis! The human brain, the pinnacle of evolutionary process that began millions of years ago, from the first progenitor molecules and unicellular life, is today capable of understanding this entire process on its own.

The once random particles of matter scattered over the cosmos, have been organizing themselves over millennia, through trial and error, to ultimately give rise to the beautiful machinery, which is enabling you to effortlessly understand what I am communicating through this write-up. The stuff that we are made of, was forged in the belly of a star, billions of years ago. All that has gone into creating the marvel that life on Earth is. So, as you can see, we owe it to the cosmos, that we make something of our lives and develop our inner potential. The mind is the most powerful tool ever and to waste its talent is nothing short of a crime. To unleash it, is our responsibility towards the universe.

The brain is plastic in nature and constantly keeps evolving with every experience you undergo. With each new experience, a new synaptic connection is created between the neurons. Our brain is the neatest little information storage and retrieval machine. The stored memories are wholesome, in the sense that information from all our senses, when experiencing any event, are stored together. So when you hear a Mozart symphony, you recall all that was experienced while listening to it for the first time, in the minutest detail. Each new skill that you learn, creates fresh synaptic connections and the more you work on improving, stronger they become. There is a division of tasks among neurons to control and coordinate every one of our actions. The ultimate question is how these neurons, each following simple rules of communication at a chemical level, interact together to create a self-aware entity, which is you. How imagination, cognition and intelligence emerges from this biological hardware, is the toughest question to crack.

Freeing Ourselves From Loopy Thinking

As you can infer, the mind is a highly sophisticated software that is projected by the brain hardware. However, it's different in the sense that both the hardware and software are adaptive to changing conditions. This property of adapting is innate in every kind of organic intelligence. The self aware entity created by this software, rarely learns how to harness its power. In other words, only a few percentage of people learn how to efficiently harness the power of their minds. The reason is stagnation and inherent inertia to change.

Minds stop growing, when we essentially close ourselves out from having new experiences and lock ourselves into a comfort zone, when we trade original thinking for what I call 'loopy thinking'. Like a computer program stuck in a loop or a stuck up gramophone record, we get trapped into fixed thought routines, which play repeatedly in our minds everyday, with nothing new in terms of productivity. With time, loopy thinking reinforces itself so much, that it becomes a way of life. The beautiful machinery of our minds is simply wasted, as we keep running around in loops. To bring about a change, a paradigm shift in our thinking process is essential. It creates fresh synaptic connections and fires up long unused parts of the brain. The analytical left part and the creative right part of the brain swing into action then, to provide us with innovative solutions to our problems.

When you throw yourself out of the comfort zone, the brain finds itself dealing with new challenges and rewiring begins as you force your mind to adapt to the changing conditions. Breaking the rut and dealing with challenging scenarios, you feel most alive and happy. At least, that's my experience. Challenging ourselves on a daily basis is the simplest way of letting our inner potential find expression.

Too muddled with the vicissitudes of mundane life, we rarely appreciate or use the amazing machinery of the mind at our disposal. We go to schools and colleges to get 'educated' and learn skills that may one day help us earn a living. We memorize a lot of important details, learn the ways of the world, get some culture, but rarely do we learn to master our minds and look within to realize its boundless power. Caught in our basic biological drives to procreate, feed and survive, rarely do we contemplate the wonder that is life itself. Tons of efforts are put into sculpting our bodies and maintaining our physical appearances, but the suffering mind within is ignored. It remains inept and unprepared, to deal with the real challenges of life.

The source of most problems lies in our very mind. It wouldn't be an understatement to say that our muddled minds create more than half of our problems. We struggle to put every ounce of our energy in changing our external conditions to achieve that state of mind, called happiness, when the solution lies in transformation of our inner selves, our minds.

Mastering the Mind - An Art

Mastering the mind is an art. A neat and beautiful mind, undistorted, untouched by biases and impulses, a mind capable of seeing things as they are and making the right choice, without letting emotions corrode logic, is a rare thing. Cultivating such a mind requires years of practice in meditation and mindfulness.

Take some time off from your schedule. Try devoting time to meditation. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath and exhale. Look inward. Stop holding on to anything and try to focus on that part of you, which is pure awareness. You get this feeling sometimes when you are just about to fall asleep, while detaching from the external world. Momentarily, during that phase, you enter into pure awareness, independent and detached, calm spreads all over you as you find relief from the constant internal chatter of your voice and the echoes of other voices that keep bouncing inside.

Research has revealed that meditation actually modifies the brain structure, developing the brain centers that promote compassion and peace, while tremendously improving concentration power. When the brains of monks who've meditated for years, were scanned in the lab, they were revealed to be veritable giants, when it came to concentration and focusing on tasks. For hours together, with unwavering attention, they could carry out tasks accurately, with no errors whatsoever. They were revealed to be most patient and cheerful individuals. A remarkable serenity and compassion was radiated by these monks, which is ineffable. Some monks were subjected to violence and made to suffer immensely in the past. Still they harbored no hate towards their tormentors. They had conquered their inner demons to a great degree. Despair, anger, lust and desire had no power over them. These spiritual giants are living proof of the power of meditation and mindfulness.

Just meditating for a few minutes and letting your mind run wild the whole day, is useless. Mindfulness is the art of meditating on every task which we perform over the course of a day. It is about focusing completely on one task at a time. It is about leaving no unfinished business. When we do things mindlessly, without being fully conscious of what we are doing, we create future problems. Instead, if every task is done mindfully, we leave no future traces and carry nothing forward.

As a great Zen master has said, living mindfully, we make a perfect bonfire of ourselves in every moment, burning with focus, leaving no ash trails whatsoever into the future. This way, life is simple. One task, one hour, one day at a time, focusing on the present, we achieve peace of mind. At least, that has been my experience, since I've started implementing this philosophy. It is a tough job. Mind is like a wild horse, bounding into the past and dashing into the future, but with patience, with unyielding persistence, we can achieve an increasingly greater degree of mastery.

Realize that you have the power to stop this inner torment, that you inflict upon yourself, by mindlessly chasing thoughts like a crazy dog running after cars. The past is over and done with, never to return again, stop reliving it. The future will take care of itself. Just stop. Stop searching. Nothing can defeat you, if you don't let it. It's all about the mind. Within you, lies the amazing power to achieve whatever you want to. Believe in it. Conquer the inner world and the outer world is yours for the taking. Not only do spiritual masters advise thus, but our cognitive scientists will tell you the same. Let's not squander the beautiful gift, that is our mind. Look inwards. All the answers are in there, just waiting for you to ask the right questions...
