Currently I am residing at my brothers house (pug sitting) and yeah when I come here, its so damn beautiful I tend to always slack off and not do those things I love to do. Again I thinks its just coincidence, but wanted to throw it out there.
I'm wondering if some of the push-back, I've been reading about in other journals, from the subconscious could be related to some hypnotic language patterns that are being used. In NLP and Hypnosis we are taught that using language patterns that denote negative connotations, regardless if its Don't or do, the subconscious is only hearing the embedded command and not whether it should be done or not done.
Actually a form of overcoming LMR (Last Minute Resistance) is to agree and say we shouldn't be doing this as you continue to caress the ... The mind is hearing "do this" and even more so the rebel in us comes into play and says I'm doing the opposite just because I am a rebel.
I've noticed in the script for Aura of Sexiness:
I now completely let go of, disconnect from and reject any and all beliefs and ideas that conflict with being sexy.
I now completely let go of, disconnect from and ignore any and all negativity from others.
Now in no way, no how am I suggesting in any way that I understand exactly how subliminal's work or have any where near as much knowledge and no how as my esteemed colleague Shannon. I have a deep respect for his intelligence and fully believe in his abilities. However coming from a layman's perspective and being quite curious I am interested in understanding the thought process behind using "perceived by myself" negatives to get a positive result. It would seem to me, coming from a purely hypnotic standpoint that I would use something along the lines of:
I now completely connect and attract all positivity from others.
Again I'm asking, not telling and really want to understand. Please forgive me my ignorance.
While I am at it I have another question: If I was to use the script as daily affirmations, say in the mirror to myself in the morning and then again at night, would that help me along on the journey?
I think I am "with it" enough to answer this now.
Basically, you raise a very good and valid point. If I am advocating using only positive scripting, why am I using negative words when there is a positive way to phrase this?
Compare:
"I now completely let go of, disconnect from and reject any and all beliefs and ideas that conflict with being sexy."
Versus
"I now completely connect and attract all positivity from others."
These are not even remotely saying the same thing. What I am trying to do is very specific. In this case, what I am trying to specifically accomplish only works phrased using negative words (reject, conflict) because of the particulars of how English works. If I were to try to phase this positively, as such:
"I now completely connect with and and accept any and all beliefs and ideas that agree with being sexy."
I have done nothing to deal with the negative responses, beliefs and attitudes which are very likely already present. The positive phrasing not only doesn't deal with the major challenge, it's a much weaker form of statement because it is not as specific.
Hopefully, that answers your question sufficiently. If not, let me now what you need me to go further with.
Thank you, that's what I thought and was the answer I was seeking. I appreciate you taking the time to answer me when "right." Makes sense
