Imagine that someone offers you a pill. This pill, they say, is a new miracle drug. If you are a man, increase testosterone (in a safe and healthy way). If you are a woman, it increases fertility and milk production. For everyone, it improves blood pressure and is sophisticated enough to lower it when it’s too high and raise it when it’s too low. It also helps you lose weight and keep it off, reduces puffiness, and improves your overall appearance.
Oh, and it blocks the bread. Don’t worry, it’s not addictive.
Well, I hope you make fun of them. No single pill could do all of this, especially since half contradicts the other half. They are selling snake oil.
But let’s say they tried it. They have scientific studies, customer testimonials, celebrity endorsements, and medical experts that verify that yes, this pill works.
It sounds impossible but this miracle is real.
And somehow it’s also affordable. A day’s dose costs what a few cups of coffee do.
What would you do?
You should reject them. These pills are overpriced. How can a miracle drug be overrated?
When you can get the benefits for free.
Hidden near the hypothalamus is the pituitary gland. This part of your brain regulates all the other glands in your body. In other words, it controls the levels of hormones in your body. That makes it a very powerful little gadget. The mind and body of your dreams are just a few hormonal adjustments away.
Okay, but just because the pituitary gland is in the brain doesn’t mean you can control it. Simply thinking “I want to be taller” will not cause your growth hormones to go into overdrive. Can your thoughts influence the pituitary gland?
They sure can.
Certain hormones are constantly leaking through your bloodstream, like your sex hormones. Others wax and wane over time, like melatonin. Then there is the adrenaline. If your thoughts register fear and danger, your blood chemistry immediately changes. Adrenaline floods your system in seconds and can drain in minutes.
You may not be able to consciously control this process.
But all the best parts are unconscious processes anyway.
Hypnosis is the gateway to your inner mind. With practice and a clear intention, you can get to your dashboard. You can easily and safely adjust its internal parameters. If something is throwing your inner state out of balance, you can take back control and restore a healthier balance. This is one of the reasons your brain evolved to enjoy hypnosis: it gives power back to the user.
