Three Words

Keywords are a key technique in hypnosis and autogenic training. Three words I enjoy using are: Health, Success and Motivation.

Now, when I think about Health, I think about good health. Really, there is no other kind of health worth putting the tremendous power of the subconscious mind to thinking about!

Think of all the positive associations of good health:

Superb physical wellbeing
Perfect functioning of all the organs, systems, nerves, and glands of the body
Strong, firm muscles, joints and bones
Smooth, healthy, elastic skin
The absence of excess fat or flesh
Greatly increased resistance to disease, injury or infection
Increased control over the autonomic nervous system
including all the glands and hormones with control all functions and conditions within the body.

Just imagine your body coming back into Balance, Equilibrium, and Inner Harmony.

Take a minute to feel that balance restored, with respiration that is even and calm, and a heart rate that is calm, steady and at ease. Pulse rate and blood pressure both settle to the lower levels of normal pulse and blood pressure. All your systems function more efficiently like this, eliminating excess fats or waste from the body, keeping cholesterol levels lower, keeping blood sugar levels steady and stable.

In such a state, we are intuitively drawn to natural, life-giving and life-sustaining foods that our bodies need to maintain that state of harmony and balance — crisp, fresh vegetables; delicious, juicy, tantalizing fruits, or lean meats such as poultry or fish, all in their proper portions. In this state we feel light and energetic, no longer weighed down by those old heavy, greasy, overly rich, oily, or excessively sweet or salty foods. We feel compelled to cleanse, purify and rinse our bodies by drinking fresh water throughout the day.

We enjoy the capabilities of our bodies more, and start to stretch to our untapped potentials by walking, dancing, running, swimming, or moving our bodies and feeling our bodies� movement in other ways. Just because good health feels so... well... good!

But, you know, Good Health can also mean:

Healthy attitude of mind, where the nerves are stronger and steadier
A mind that is calm and clear, more composed, more tranquil, more relaxed and more confident
A greater feeling of self-esteem, personal well-being, safety, security and happiness than ever before
Greater control of your thoughts and emotions
An ability to relax your mind, focus and concentrate; in all situations, in everday life, automatically
The ability to evaluate thoroughly, quickly and completely, and therefore reach sound decisions easily and readily, allowing you to act efficiently and effectively
The ability to sleep deeply and refreshingly at night so as to awaken cheerful, calm, relaxed and confident, ready to face the challenges of the new day with boundless energy and enthusiasm.

Now, let's think about Success!

Of course, success can mean wealth in terms of money and material things. But it can also show itself in an attitude of mind that gives happiness regardless of material possessions or circumstances, such as:

A sense of recognition, satisfaction, or achievement in life
A happy, fulfilling life, with loved ones, firm friends, and perhaps a closely knit, loving family circle as well
An ability to mix easily in social situations
Ability to set and achieve goals that are realistic, worthwhile, and progressive, along with the motivation and determination to achieve those goals
Ability to overcome some problem, perhaps even one of which you may not even be aware.

Lastly, think on the word Motivation:

That desire, that driving force, that determination to achieve an objective or reach a goal
A gradual but progressive strengthening of the desire to be in charge of your life
The ability to destroy those old recordings, break those old destructive or useless habit patterns — to play new music for your soul.

Motivation cuts the bindings — you are no longer a puppet of early conditionings. You get to create a new script of your own and move in your own way along a path of your own choosing.

On this page I've already tied a lot of meanings and feelings to these three words. They are now Keywords, keys to unlocking your inner mind's power to create all these things in your conscious awareness.

From the moment we are born, we hear words and learn to associate words with feelings. Now use these three words as tools to produce feelings and results you want in your life, knowing the subconscious mind always does reproduce in our conscious actions, reactions and choices our most dominant thoughts.

So make your dominant thoughts Health, Success and Motivation.
