Hypnosis and Practiced Thinking
https://youtu.be/HHtbdAaOY40 Practiced thought reaps reality. That’s a quote from me. You see the brain is an amazing organ. One of the ways it manages the connecting and firing of your 100 billion neurons throughout the day is to form habits. Habits are nothing more than thoughts that you think over and over again until your […]
Hypnosis and Your Incredible Brain

Subconscious to Conscious Communication
I’ve said before that the brain cannot tell the difference between what is real, and what is vividly imagined.
