How to Overcome Your Fear of Snakes
The fear of snakes is a very common affliction. Most snakes are harmless and they are almost always more afraid of you then you are of them. So why is it that your heart starts pumping and you get irrationally frightened when you see one? Because your subconscious is responsible for as much as 80% of your day to day activity. From breathing and keeping your heart beating, to your emotions and habits. Unless you get this part of your mind working with you, you will never get the results that you desire.
Visualize the results that you don’t want. Using the principals of pain and pleasure you want to create an image in your head of what you don’t want. Because most people will go to greater lengths to avoid pain than to seek pleasure. So if you want to overcome your fear of snakes then imagine how it is affecting your life. Create a painful picture in your head about how your fear of snakes hurts your life and how it keeps you from being happy.
Visualize what it is that you do want. To overcome your fear of snakes you must visualize the end result and associate it with pleasure. Imagine a snake wrapping itself around your arm. Picture a small snake at first and imagine that it feels good. Associate a pleasant feeling and memory to the snake. See yourself smiling and enjoying how it feels against your skin. See people complimenting you and telling you how control of yourself you are. Imagine how good that makes you feel.
Use brain entrainment and biaural beats. Science shows that sounds can affect our emotional states and how our brains function. Ever listen to a song that makes you immediately weepy? Using something called biaural beats, which are alternating sound patterns we can train our brains to be more susceptible to suggestions thus making it easier to change patterns and habits. There is a company called Transparent Corp. that makes a number of products that can help you to retrain your mind so that you get the results that you want. One of them is called the “Neuro Programmer.” This used in conjunction with visualization can be a very powerful tool.
Improve your self-talk with hypnosis. How we think about and talk to ourselves is probably more important than what other people say to us. But sometimes we can be incredibly mean to ourselves. If you want to overcome your fear of snakes use a positive affirmation. Something like “I am happy and feel calm, and cool around snakes, they are a beautiful animal .” Using an Mp3 audio hypnosis file can help you to improve your thinking.
