What qualities do some people have which lead to them having a "midas touch"? And if you do indeed possess these qualities which lead to success, why would you need to seek the help of hypnosis?

A successful person has a lot of major qualities which together form the foundations which lead to success. To have the confidence in oneself, the belief that you have a good idea, the belief that you can do it is clearly a major factor. This is needed by the barrel load. Tenacity is also required, the tenacity to keep on going, to fight for your ideals, for your goals no matter what obstacles get in your way. Determination and commitment are essential ingredients, as is a burning desire to succeed. This is what causes you to leave no stone unturned. The ability to focus on your goal and turn a blind eye to distractions is also involved.

What else is needed in order to stand out from the crowd? The icing upon the cake is to have imagination, to have vision. The most essential thing of all is the ability to see the end result which you so desire. How could you make a chair if you could not visualize it first? How could you design an airplane if you did not imagine flying first? How could the electric light bulb be invented without first having a vision of the light which it would create?

If you were to read the biographies of almost all successful people, they would say that the key to their success was that they had vision. They had the ability to see something in their minds eye and this is what enabled them to set about its creation. If you dig a little deeper you will find that their most creative moments came in times when their mind was relaxed, when they were in a meditative state, when in a state of relaxed focus.

This state of relaxed focus is hypnosis. Many successful people intentionally induce this state of creativity, whilst others inadvertently drift into this state. Either way, this state is essential to creativity and to remarkable vision. Hypnosis is a state of relaxation at one with a state of heightened awareness. When in hypnosis your subconscious mind comes to the fore and you get past the critical aspect of the conscious mind. Your imagination is enhanced and your ability to problem solve comes to the fore.

I'm sure that you can relate to times when you perhaps had forgotton a person’s name and no amount of trying helped your memory, but when you stopped trying that name just popped into your mind, seemingly from nowhere. In effect, if you focus on an end result you want to achieve, and relax, your subconscious mind will come up with the answer.

At night when you dream, whilst in the REM state, your brain performs the task of conflict resolution. This task happens each and every night, whether or not you are aware of it, and this is essential to human survival. It happens automatically, it is just how your mind naturally works to keep you in a state of balance and equilibrium. Hypnosis creates a similar REM state and therefore you access the creativity and problem solving abilities which come naturally at this time. It allows you to tap into a far deeper ability to imagine and create that you would otherwise be capable of. In actual fact, when in a normal state of waking consciousness you are really only accessing a very limited percentage of your minds capabilities. Every successful person accesses this state of relaxed focus, this state of hypnosis, be it deliberately or instinctively.

The great thing is that we can all use hypnosis, we can all access our inner creativity and thereby enable ourselves to be more creative and successful than we ever dreamed to be possible. You can get a free hypnosis download from my website and try it for yourself.
