Induced State Visualization
A powerful tool for programming your non-conscious mind to get what you want is Induced State Visualization or ISV. This is a practice I developed by combining visualization and brain entrainment audio software. It’s easy to do yet incredibly transformative.
Entrainment is a term to describe the tendency of two oscillating systems in close proximity assuming the same period. For example, if you set a stringed instrument in a room for a length of time that happens to have ambient noise present, like a buzzing fluorescent light bulb, the instrument will go out of tune to match the noise. This phenomenon arises due to resonance, which is the transfer of vibration from one medium to another.
Brain entrainment programs use this phenomenon by introducing an external frequency through stereo headphones that causes the brain to entrain to that frequency. In effect, the brain is synced to lower frequencies, the same frequencies the brain naturally produces during relaxation, dreams, or even deep focus. This kind of technology is fantastic for inducing states of mind quickly and easily.
Bill Harris says the following about entrainment neuro-technologies: “One of the observed effects of this type of sound-induced brain synchronization is increased learning ability. What is now known as superlearning began in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s with the work of Bulgarian psychiatrist Georgi Lozanov. Lozanov used deep relaxation combined with synchronized rhythms in the brain to cause students to produce alpha waves. He found that students when in this state learned over five times as much information with less study time per day, with greater long-term retention”.
This brain entrainment technology is amazing in itself, but what really makes it explosive is when combined with other technologies or practices.
For quite some time now I have been using visualizations to train my non-conscious mind to be in tune with my conscious desires. Since the mind cannot tell the difference between a real experience and an experience that happens only in the mind, this tool forms new behaviours, capabilities, and beliefs with consistent practice. The only weakness in this is that when you visualize something you are in relative waking level awareness. Beliefs are stored in the subconscious mind and therefore it can take a long time and lots of effort to change them. But by combining visualizations with these brain entrainment audio programs you can more deeply embed the images and feelings as you experience them. It literally programs your mind to move toward whatever you want it to.
So what is the best way to practice Induced State Visualization? First off, get a program or audio recording that takes you through the first three brain wave patterns (beta, alpha, and theta) and make sure it is about 30 minutes in length. It’s a good idea to listen in a comfortable seated position and a quite setting. Use stereo headphones and keep the volume at a comfortable level. As the entrainment program starts close your eyes and begin seeing yourself living the life of your dreams in your mind’s eye. Imagine in first person perspective all the things you would like to have, do, or be. Get as clear as you can and be sure to include as many physical senses as you can in your vision. The most important thing is to absolutely feel like you have that life now. Go on adding to your vision until the audio stops. Then simply go about your day. After about a month of doing this every day you will start to notice a significant change in your psychology. Your thoughts will change, and eventually your beliefs will as well.
It’s quite phenomenal that we have the ability to consciously shape our minds however we want. We experience true freedom when we are no longer constrained by negative beliefs or limited by a sense of self that is less significant than we deserve. Our true potential is infinite. Having the tools to help us manifest that potential is vital.
