Carl Yung stated, “If you expose the demons to the light they go away.” The subconscious mind is a repository of all our thoughts, actions, and emotions. Many times the subconscious mind has mistaken notions and misunderstandings that need to be redressed. Furthermore, the subconscious mind is without limitations and has infinite possibilities and boundless potentials. It is as infinite as our imagination and allows us to communicate with the entire universe.
Emotions and Self-Hypnosis -Name that face!
When emotions become extremely disturbing and stressful, they may become refractory, unruly and inexplicable. We cannot understand emotions because they are not tangible or intelligible. They rattle around in our limbic system and wreak havoc on our nervous system. They can also affect our reptilian brain, the Freudian ID, and the Adaptive or Rebellious Child part of our Ego state. So how can we handle and tame these disturbing emotions, such as the primary negative emotion of fear.
Emotions are feelings and are not rational entities. They are irrational emotions, often difficult to explain and identify. They don’t come with a tag, a name, or a definite mental picture. They are purely subjective or an uneasy feeling. Thus, we must objectify the disturbing emotion. We have to remove it from the limbic system, the repository of irrational thoughts, and present it to the rational thought centers of the evolved neocortex, the Freudian Ego, and the Adult Ego State of transactional analysis. We must open the doors of the limbic system in order to send it to the more evolved areas of consciousness, thus removing it from the subjective status and transforming it to an objective state for critical review. These higher areas of consciousness are better equipped to handle objectified emotions.
So how do we objectify negative emotions? First we must give this emotion, such as fear, a name. It may relate to a person, thing or event. This name may or may not ease the emotion. But now we must belittle, denigrate, disparage, or insult this emotion with a “pet” name, a silly name or any degrading moniker. We must cut this emotion down to size so we can shrink the dragon and put it in a tiny cage, lock it up and throw away the key. Give the emotion a size, shape, form, color, maybe a face, (name that face!) or whatever else that will help you to tame this vexing chimera, etc. Let the rational brain and your consciousness examine it, analyze it, demean it, laugh at it, and refer to it with your personal “pet” name you gave it. Now you can deal with this emotion on a rational basis. Shrink it down and lock it away or place it in a rocket ship headed to the sun to be destroyed forever. You can send it down from your mind in the current of manifestation into the root chakra. From there you can drive it down your roots into the molten hot inner core of the earth where it will be incinerated. You can place it in an imaginary rocket ship and send it to the sun where it will disintegrate or into the outer realms of the universe. Use whatever means of ridding it from your consciousness you please or whatever you can conjure up.
Whatever the mind can conceive and believe; it can achieve.
– Napoleon Hill
Recreate Your Life
In his book Recreating Your Life, Morty Lefkoe indicates that the meaning we give to certain events will cause us pain, anxiety and suffering. He gives the example of the disorder of BULEMIA. In those suffering from this condition, they see themselves as “fat” no matter how skinny they really are. They assume this mistaken psychological position because they feel – I’m NOT OK, YOU’RE OK. The meaning they give to this notion of being “fat” evokes negative emotions and feelings, thus causing anxiety and suffering. These people have a sense of low self-esteem. They are fixated on a meaning or a misinterpretation of a certain past event. If one can change the meaning of the event or situation, the negative feelings change. If one can dissolve or change the meaning you apply to the situation or event, you can eliminate your suffering. And you will overcome your road blocks to success, happiness and abundance.
The inciting Situation or Event has, for the most part, a basis in reality. The meaning we transfer to that Event is subjective based upon our stored patterns learned in childhood from our parents or guardians. But the key is that the Event can have multiple meanings and one of which may not evoke such a destructive emotion or feeling and even eliminate the suffering all together. We do not have to be prisoners locked in a cell of misinterpreted or misdirected meanings that keep us waffling in a state of confusion and inaction. Once you change your meaning to the provoking Event, you can change the negativity and anxiety engendered by the Event and eliminate the negative feelings and hindering emotions. Your suffering will stop and you can get on with your life and pursue what makes you happy. We then transfer this reaction from our hurt insecure CHILD ego state and to our non-emotional rational ADULT part of our personality. This is the executive portion of our personality that takes non-hampered action and gets things done. This release from inhibiting negative emotions paves the way to success, happiness, money and abundance.
