Harnessing Self-Love Through Subconscious Reprogramming: A Guide to Positive Affirmations and Neuroplasticity
In the realm of subconscious reprogramming, one powerful practice stands out for its transformative potential: the use of positive affirmations while in a hypnotic (alpha/theta brainwave) state. While in a hypnotic state saying to yourself simple yet profound statements have the ability to reshape your subconscious beliefs and foster a deep sense of self-love and acceptance.
One common mistake when it comes to practicing affirmations is when they are only done in a conscious state; when we are in Gamma &/or Beta brainwave and the conscious, critical, analytical mind is very much online. This state closes off access to your subconscious mind and will almost feel as though you are hitting a brick wall… Unable to believe or feel like what you are affirming is really resonating.
The main reason as to why, is that you do not have access to your subconscious mind in this state (the ruler of your belief systems and 95% of your cognitive functioning) and therefore, the part of the mind is closed off to suggestions and as such it is unable for these affirmations to be felt deeply.
So, let’s delve into how you can harness the power of positive affirmations to cultivate a more fulfilling life.
The Power of Self-Validation
Imagine hearing the words you've longed to hear from others, but this time, they come from within. In hypnotherapy sessions, clients are encouraged to articulate the affirmations they've been craving to hear. From "I love you" to "You are enough," these affirmations hold immense emotional weight for many individuals.
The Practice: Writing and Reciting Affirmations
To embark on this journey of self-validation and self-love, begin by grabbing a pen and paper. List down all the affirmations you've been yearning to hear from others. Take your time and write down as many as you can.
Amplifying Neuroplasticity
To deepen the impact of these affirmations, record yourself saying them. By leveraging the principles of neuroplasticity, listening to this recording while experiencing theta brainwave states (such as just before falling asleep or upon waking up) gives you direct access to the subconscious mind. Engaging in this practice while you are in this state, will allow you to create new neural pathways in the mind that are geared towards positive affirmation and self-love.
Embracing Emotional Processing
As you listen to the recordings, pay close attention to the emotions they evoke within you. Be present with these feelings and allow yourself to process them fully. Over time, this practice enables you to cultivate a more profound sense of peace, joy, and love from within.
Rewiring the Subconscious Mind
Through consistent repetition and emotional engagement, positive affirmations serve as a catalyst for rewiring the subconscious mind. By creating new neural pathways associated with self-love and affirmation, this practice lays the foundation for a more fulfilling and empowered life.
P.S. It takes roughly 30 days (listening to your recording daily) to create and reinforce new neural pathways in the mind.
As we celebrate February, or as we re calling it at Bloomin Within, Self-Love Month, let us embrace the transformative power of positive affirmations and neuroplasticity. By validating ourselves from within, we pave the way for a journey of profound self-discovery and acceptance.
May this practice guide you towards a deeper connection with yourself and a life filled with love and abundance - embrace the power of affirmations and watch as your inner world blossoms with newfound love and acceptance.
