Between the subconscious and the conscious lies a filter – called the Reticular Activating System (RAS). The RAS acts as a barrier and that means that we can’t talk directly to the subconscious in normal waking state. Our brain however cycles through different electromagnetic wave patters and when it is in the theta state (5-8Hz) the filter is suspended and the subconscious is receptive to receiving messages.
That theta brainwave state is the same state as the hypnotic trance. Once there, we can talk to the subconscious and reprogam it and replace the old outmoded messages with ones that lead to a happier, more confident life.
