This probably won’t be popular with diehard Law of Attractionists, but nevertheless, it’s true. Let’s compare the two. You use the Law of Attraction because you need something. It may be wealth, freedom from pain, to gain confidence, success in a certain project.

Basically, the Law tells you to; Ask, Believe, Receive. When they suggest you ask, they quite rightly mean ‘ask.’ List down in your journal every aspect of what it is you want. Let’s assume you wish for prosperity. A lot more money, new car, new house and all the trimmings. These must be not only written down, but described in minute detail.

When you’ve finished writing, you read through what you’ve written, imagining everything as you go. Effectively, living your new life. So what are you really doing? Putting yourself into trance state. Into an hypnotic state, embedding your desires into your unconscious.

Now this is fine, but why aren’t you already rich? Has something been holding you back? Lack of self-confidence, perhaps? You could be putting the cart before the horse here. How many really wealthy people do you know who completely lack self-confidence? Not many.

It’s interesting to note that during the last three months of pregnancy, the neonate within the womb experiences more Rapid Eye Movement, (REM), than at any time during the rest of its life. All manner of human instincts are embedded within its mind ready for it to begin its journey into the real world.

Now, bear in mind that hypnosis is a perfectly natural state very similar to night time dreaming, which is the REM state. Indeed, REM is often called the ‘paradoxical sleep,’ because the brainwave patterns are so similar to those during the times when you’re awake. Now occasionally, in the womb, your instincts learned the wrong response.

For instance, instead of having normal self-confidence, you were by-passed in this respect! So if REM programmed the pre-born infant’s instincts, it’s logical that you use hypnosis, which mimics the REM state, to help you programme your instincts to the responses you wish. It isn’t any good simply trying to be more self-confident, or trying to force yourself by will power. It just won’t work.

You must re-educate your unconscious, and that can only be done by hypnosis. So we see how hypnosis, exercised properly, can ‘tap’ the unconscious in such a way that efforts such as willpower are pointless. You automatically become more confident and self-assured without even thinking about it.

Now you have at least one tool you can use to bring you all those things you desire. Both hypnosis and the Law of Attraction, the latter used correctly, are doing just the same thing. Engaging the unconscious.
