HYPNOSIS OF NEGATIVE CORE BELIEFS
All of us carry in our subconscious minds certain core beliefs about the nature of ourselves and the world. While many of these beliefs are positive, it is the negative beliefs we carry that drag us down relentlessly, limiting our potential. These core beliefs are often planted in childhood by parental programming. Sometimes they may even be implanted by past life trauma and conditioning. While the roots of these beliefs are well beneath the surface of the subconscious mind, it's not hard to hear these beliefs being muttered deep down inside our inner mind if we are listening. How often have you heard statements like these: "I'll never be good enough." "All men or women are like that, so why try?" "I'll never be smart enough to succeed." These are but a few of the core beliefs that limit our possibilities.
Clearing these core beliefs from the subconscious mind is one of the most important elements of Alchemical Hypnosis. Initially it is necessary to return in a hypnotic trance to the time when "you learned that this belief was true." Then the pain of these experiences can be released from the body through physical responses such as crying, screaming or trembling. This is how we dissolve the muscular tension which helps fix these beliefs in the body. The next step is to create new memories of safety, love, and freedom, and implant these new memories in the tissues of the body. We then use hypnotic suggestion to implant new positive core beliefs that are consistent with these new memories and to help the client achieve their therapeutic goals.
Our core beliefs about health and our bodies can be especially limiting and painful. When David Quigley was first diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis he suffered from a core belief that kept the disease growing: he believed it was an incurable disease. "My doctor told me I would almost certainly suffer from this disease all my life. My parents confirmed this, telling me that my aunt, who was married to a doctor, had been crippled all her life with rheumatoid arthritis. So what made me think I could beat this? Fortunately, the noted herbalist Rosemary Gladstar said to me one day in the most matter of fact tone: "Arthritis? You can heal that!" What audacity, I remember thinking. Yet I knew she had herself recovered from a "permanently" crippled state only a few years before, and she was a wise woman, so I believed her. Without her forthright opinion, I might be living even today like my poor aunt, in a wheelchair."
