3 Powerful Methods to Change Your Mind: Power of Meditation, Hypnosis, and Salah

Introduction

In the realm of self-discovery and personal transformation, two practices stand out as profound gateways to the subconscious: meditation and hypnosis. But one thing is clear, Salah is the most profound, the strongest, and best gateway to meaningful change. While both offer pathways to inner exploration and empowerment, they do so in distinct ways, each with its own unique benefits and applications. Let’s delve deeper into the world of meditation and hypnosis, unraveling their mysteries and uncovering their potential to help you guide your life toward the one of your dreams.

Hypnosis: A Journey Into the Subconscious

Imagine a state of deep relaxation where your mind is open and receptive, ready to explore the depths of your subconscious. This is the essence of hypnosis. Through focused attention and guided suggestion, hypnosis allows you to uncover and resolve deep-seated issues that may be holding you back in life. From phobias to addictions to trauma, hypnosis offers a powerful tool for transformation under the guidance of a skilled hypnotherapist. Hypnosis is a waking state of awareness or consciousness, in which a person’s attention is detached from his or her immediate environment and is absorbed by inner experiences such as feelings and imagination.

The notion that people act according to their programming from early childhood, particularly between the ages of 0 to 7 years, is rooted in the concept of the subconscious mind. During this critical period, the mind is highly impressionable, and experiences, beliefs, and behaviors are deeply ingrained and form the basis of one’s subconscious programming. This programming can significantly influence an individual’s thoughts, feelings, and actions throughout their life.

One of the most powerful methods of changing this programming as adults is through hypnosis. Hypnosis is a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, where the subconscious mind is more receptive to new ideas and suggestions. By accessing the subconscious mind through hypnosis, it becomes possible to identify and reprogram limiting beliefs and behaviors that were formed in early childhood.

Through techniques such as guided imagery, positive affirmations, and suggestion, hypnosis can help individuals rewire their subconscious programming to align more closely with their conscious desires and goals. This can lead to profound and lasting changes in behavior, thought patterns, and emotional responses, ultimately empowering individuals to live more fulfilling and authentic lives.

Meditation: The Path to Mindfulness and Presence

In contrast to hypnosis, meditation is a practice of training the mind to be present and aware in the moment. By cultivating mindfulness and redirecting thoughts, meditation offers a path to inner peace, reduced stress, and heightened awareness. Whether through mindfulness meditation, loving-kindness meditation, or transcendental meditation, the practice of meditation opens the door to a deeper understanding of the self and the world around you. The way we look at meditation, it is a time you dedicate to yourself. Time you are being fully present and mindful. And what better thing to do in this moment than to say Alhamdulilah? Here is where you are going to benefit the most from remembrance of Allah. Use His names, repeat Istighfar, count your blessings and thank Allah for the good and the seemingly bad, ie. everything in your life. When you combine gratitude with presence, a wave of peace takes over you, and you make yourself ready to take on the world. This is the power of Dhikr.

Complementary Practices for Holistic Wellness

While hypnosis and meditation differ in their approach, they share a common goal: to improve mental, emotional, and physical well-being. For some, one practice may resonate more deeply, while others may find that a combination of both offers the most profound results. By embracing the unique benefits of each practice, you can create a holistic approach to self-improvement that aligns with your goals and values.

The Most Powerful form of Healing and Change: Salah

Prayer, known as Salah, is the primary form of worship for Muslims, performed five times daily without fail. It is a fundamental duty, and Muslims are expected to fulfill it without excuse. Salah not only signifies submission to Allah but also holds numerous cherished benefits for every practicing Muslim. We must use prayers as a means of invocation and ask Allah Almighty for help and assistance in any difficulty or worry. Muslims who acknowledge Allah Almighty as their Lord and the Bestower of all things strive to cultivate a deep connection with Him, seeking to remain close at all times to strengthen this bond.

One of the amazing things about salah is that it is a means for you to stay connected with Allah Almighty. Just like how you need a phone to call your friends when you need to talk, salah is your ‘phone’ to connect with Allah and communicate up close and personal with Him. It is prescribed to all of us, because we need that connection to feel content, at peace and happy, InshaAllah. As Akhi Aymen says it, all you need to do whenever you have a problem, is call Allah at 24434 (Two Rakah for Fajr, 4 for Dhuhr, 4 for Asr’, 3 for Maghrib, and 4 for Isha’).

And when you have completed the prayer, remember Allah standing, sitting, or [lying] on your sides. But when you become secure, re-establish [regular] prayer. Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times. (4:103)

Conclusion: Embracing the Power of Your Mind

In conclusion, the power of your mind is limitless, and both meditation and hypnosis offer keys to unlocking its full potential. Do not, however, replace it with the most powerful tool, which is Salah. It is greater than meditation and hypnosis in an incomprehensible way. It is what our Creator prescribed for us. Straight from the source, Subhanallah. Everything else comes after. But whether you choose to explore hypnosis, meditation, or both, as extra methods of self improvement, make sure you do it with the right intention, to Please Allah. By embracing these practices with an open heart and mind, you can tap into the profound wisdom that lies within you, paving the way for a life of greater peace, purpose, and fulfillment. We were all created for a great purpose. These methods mentioned help us find it, as it is our duty to do so. “What one can be, one must be”. – Abraham Maslow
