Key Points Made by Rene about the Power of Your Subconscious Mind:
- The mind controls the body.
- Clinical hypnotherapy is about opening the subconscious mind.
- Every experience you have is filtered through your belief system, if you have negative or limiting beliefs it will colour everything you do.
- BUTs are blocks in the subconscious mind which are preventing you from reaching your goals. It’s hard to make changes if you are not aware of what needs to be changed
- The first words you hear after the BUT are your truth, try not to rationalize them away.
- Often your inner critic or your inner child is the voice of your subconscious. Your ego states are your subconscious mind.
- When we are young, our minds are always in an alpha state and what we hear and learn in that state becomes encoded as truth.
- Truth talk is where you ask whether what you believe is true.
- Use the moments where you are in an alpha wave state to make changes and hear what your subconscious is telling you.
- Fight for your truth.
- You can change the epigenetics of your body based on how we feel about ourselves. Every thought has a chemical reaction.
- Being stressed puts you into survival mode, positive thinking will only work when you are in a relaxed state. Take a deep breath and slow down.
- If you only take downtime when you are sick, your body will use that to cause you to slow down.
- You may need a professional to help you get past certain obstacles and false beliefs.
