Tranceformation

Several of the world’s richest people set aside some time every day to quiet the unfocused noise and confusion that live in their head via meditation or some related technique for achieving reduced arousal. The idea is that by quieting this noise, the person has greater access to the wisdom, the creativity, and the knowledge that exists within them all along.

Under the right conditions, these resources are more likely to bubble to the surface and become available to conscious awareness. To say it a little differently, once this information becomes available to consciousness, it can be vectored to problem-solving, or the development of new products and services, or to the expansion of an existing business with the associated new jobs and opportunities for investment.

For some people, setting aside some quiet time that is relatively free of noise is enough, and meditation, mindfulness, or yoga work well with no need to achieve some deeper level of calm. The trancelike experience of meditation can improve creativity. Its side effects have been shown to reduce the reactivity of the reptilian brain, increase resilience, stimulate the neocortex, and improve emotional intelligence.

For some people, self-hypnosis can be helpful in achieving a deeper state of focused awareness, and it is surprising that it is not recommended more often by therapists trained to use hypnosis in their practices.
