Consciousness through dreams and metaphors

Daydreams are a perfect example of self-hypnosis. When you daydream, you have been put into a natural state of trance, allowing for creative imagination, relaxed contemplation, and productive problem solving.

Dreams that occur during sleep provide a means for our unconscious mind to communicate a different and personal message to our conscious mind. When we have a dream, we are often fascinated by symbols and we are interested in determining their meaning. We instinctively know that there is something deeper than the serendipitous and often bizarre images that are presented.

However, dreams are just one method that the mind uses to communicate its message. Another way is through our bodies. Let’s step back from our normal perceptions and imagine, for a moment, the “big picture.”

Each of us is a spirit, a soul, who has acquired a body to use during a certain lifetime. A useful visualization may be to see ourselves sliding into this body, as one might put on a glove. We are still a spirit, but now we have sensory matter around us that can communicate messages to our higher consciousness about the world in which we find ourselves. We can see, touch, taste, smell, and hear our surroundings.

Likewise, our higher consciousness has the same medium, the body, to use in communicating its messages to our conscious consciousness which is focused here on the physical. The body will indicate our mental and spiritual states through emotions and physical symptoms. When we listen to these messages, and take decisive action to make corrections when necessary, we have the opportunity to avoid uncomfortable symptoms or even terminal illness.

Daydreams combine relaxed, focused trance states and imagination to calmly and creatively solve problems. Dreams provide direct communication between the conscious and unconscious minds, using metaphors and images. Similarly, our physical aches and pains, illnesses and ailments, are metaphorical messages with a purpose other than warning of danger, stress, or necessary change.

In our busy lives, we often ignore the intuitive knowledge we receive from the subconscious realms. When this happens, the signals have to become bolder, stronger, or more tangible. If they continue to be ignored, the body weakens from the stress caused by that signal and begins to show symptoms of illness and disease, whether mental, emotional, or physical.

Hypnotherapy combined with neurolinguistic programming offers a number of techniques that are productive in extracting the message from the medium. Trained professionals will use techniques such as Object Imaging, Secondary Gains, and Part Therapy. An additional technique called Reverse Metaphor is proving extremely graceful in opening up such communication and awareness. Therapists around the world praise this technique as indispensable in their practices.

An adaptation of a number of other techniques that were originally shamanic in nature, such as Soul Journey and Recovery, can be used within the hypnotherapy session. These also produce remarkable results in problem discovery and resolution across the board – physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual.

When awareness has been achieved, the client has the option to act on that awareness, often with the help of a qualified hypnotherapist, bringing about the changes that result in a healthier and happier lifestyle.

Students will learn these skills in upcoming trainings and the general public can benefit from these techniques through private sessions.
