"Hi, I'm Carmen Lynne and welcome to Expert Village. We are talking about hypnosis today. The reason that hypnosis is so effective is that we are using the subconscious mind. A fact that you may not be aware of is that, the mind is divided into conscious and subconscious. You may not realize just how powerful the subconscious is. The conscious accounts for 12% of the mind. That leaves 88% of the mind that is subconscious. That's more than 4/5. That is an extraordinary statistic, if you think about it. It is very much like an iceberg. The proportions are very similar. So, if you look at this iceberg, behind me, that will give you a great visual analogy of what is actually going on. The portion of the mind that is similar to the tip of the iceberg, is what we see, what we experience and what we are aware of. That's our conscious mind. The portion of the mind, that is underneath of the water, that we are not aware of, is the subconscious mind. So, it is so powerful. Plus, we don't, in the ordinary course of events, have access to it. This is why hypnotherapy is very powerful and very effective. This is because we are harnessing this power in your subconscious mind. This enables you to make the changes, that you want to make in your life. "
