Event -> Belief -> Emotion -> Behavior -> Result
Let's look at the structure of the mind, and how this relates to your goal. The Simmerman-Sierra Results Model (above) illustrates how certain Events in our lives result in specific Beliefs, which drive Emotions, which fuel Behavior, leading to Results we see in life. That's the good news. The tricky part is that the belief blueprint resides in the subconscious, so it is not only unknown, but generally inaccessible to our conscious thinking self.
The subconscious is the creative intelligence that runs the body. This is necessary so we do not have to consciously digest our food, manage heartbeats and breathing, or remember to blink our eyes, not to mention keeping up with cellular repair or healing any injuries. Although all these functions of the body operate autonomously, whether we are aware of them or not, we also have the option of directing our awareness and improving our physical or emotional states through methods such as hypnosis.
Not having to attend to the massive functions of the physical body frees us to choose any point of consciousness at any given time. In the interest of physical survival, the subconscious mind also sorts, labels, categorizes, and stores memories of past events and our interpretations of them. We quickly learn from early events what seems safe or unsafe, and we formulate beliefs meant to ensure continued survival. These beliefs aim to constrain us in the safety zone of the familiar and safe, even though they may ultimately cause pain, through results like overeating or under-earning.
In the hypnotherapy process, we decide upon and place a new idea into this "behind the scenes" subconscious mind, one that drives emotion to create new behavior to support your goal.
How do we access the subconscious mind? There are specific methods of bypassing the gatekeeper in order to change or replace limiting beliefs. These include non-ordinary, altered states of consciousness like meditation or hypnosis, to quiet down the mind. These are states we can generate through profound physical or mental relaxation. Bypassing the gatekeeper allows us to choose and drop in more useful or expansive beliefs that support our goals and dreams-- from deep inside.
The gatekeeper is that chatterbox we hear that interrupts our taking on radically new ideas. As we calm that analytical mind, you will be a sponge for the ideas you choose, ideas that you know will be beneficial for you.
Looking at the more familiar part of the mind, the conscious level, this is what analyzes, reasons, uses logic and will. You choose a goal consciously, but perhaps you find you lack the actual motivation to carry out the necessary behaviors to support that goal. That's because the subconscious mind holds old, limiting ideas-- not conscious to you-- that get in the way and block your goal.
Together, you and I will saturate your mind with positive ideas to support the desired behavior, so you easily get the positive effects of the Results Model.
The subconscious is the Doer. Ever have emotions you didn't want to have? Can you think them away, or wish them away? No. Emotions are thoughts travelling through the body, and as such they are seated here in the subconscious, results of old thoughts and beliefs. We want to saturate your mind so much that we generate emotional adrenaline for change, since Belief drives Emotion, and Emotion is the moving energy for Behavior, which entirely determines Results. New Belief=New Emotion=New Behavior=New Results!
Hypnosis is a natural yet altered state of mind in which the critical gatekeeper is relaxed and selective thinking is established. These focused thoughts are then accepted into the subconscious, where they influence behavior, not through willpower, but through feeling an emotionalized desire to carry out new behaviors.
Lastly, the subconscious mind is the creative, problem-solving intelligence you have deep inside, independent of logic or analytical thinking. Often in hypnosis, new thoughts or ideas pop into mind, so don't be surprised if you get some brand-new insights or strategies through the process. Plus the experience just plain feels good!
