EXPLORE THE PSYCHIC, HIDDEN DIMENSION OF THE MIND AND OPEN A GATEWAY TO SELF-IMPROVEMENT
An automated and hectic life style seems to be making us drift further and further from our inner selves. As the world becomes more competitive our disillusionment becomes worse, and we denigrate ourselves as failures. Yet we all have the potential for change within us. Reprogram your brain! It is almost like equipping a computer with new software. The workshop is called the 4th dimension or 4-D, and now for graduate of the first, the 4-D 2.
One learns about the philosophy of the 4th dimension. At times referred to as the 'zone' it is a state of mind "beyond time and space". It is initiated with a practice of self-hypnosis to lower the brain frequency. As a result, one is conscious and aware but at the same time in a state of hypnosis. In this state it is possible to get solutions and answer to problems as well as receive inspiration. All of this is the domain of the right side of the brain, the emotional, creative side, while logic is the realm of the left.
While there are four basic states of mind, it is the alpha state, the time just prior to falling asleep, that is targeted by the professor. In this state pain hormones and sedatives are released which, in the right proportion, bring balance to the mind. If we are able to enter this state consciously we can use it to our benefit. It is in this Alpha State that we can program ourselves. this is the best state.
The idea hypnosis is as old as time. The novelty here lies in being taught to independently activate the altered state. At this level imagination is at its peak. What you feed into your mind in such a state is highly forceful and has a deep and lasting impact. Essentially what you can imagine can be manifested.
We can utilize the image of the pyramid at this stage. Visualizing the pyramid makes sure you focus your thoughts and your energies. This mental pyramid is composed of various compartments in which you can address different problems. For example, there is a 'healing room', which you can inhabit with compassionate people who have had an impact on your life. This exercise confines your thoughts and thus prevents them from scattering. Since concentration is intense at this point, the results are guaranteed and instant. What may take years in traditional forms of meditation can be achieved very fast, sometimes in a day.
The second important feature of the 4-D 1 workshop is the teaching of Chakra activation Although many of us have heard about enhancing our aura positively through our Chakras. literally circles, are energy centers of the body, located from the base of the spine to the top of the head. If we balance the energy flow of all the seven Chakras there is a noticeable transformation in the character of the individual as well as his/her relationship with others. Activated Chakras energy is radiant and intense. It is healing and revitalizing energy, both for you and all around you. When you activate your Chakras, through a serious of mental exercises taught at the workshop, your entire aura, which surrounds you for eight meters all around, becomes highly positive. Many people have done it before job interviews and also used it to benefit their relationship. Chakras activation is further enhanced if you use the visualization of colours themselves exude powerful energy. For example, the colour blue, identified with the throat Chakras simulates the Pituitary gland, which regulates our sleep patterns.

There are many success stories from participants of the 4th dimension. Shahid who as on sedatives has learnt to sleep naturally at night. "When I relex and count (as taught), before I reach 1, it is as if some one has given me anesthesia and when I wake up in the morning, I am very bright, relaxed and fresh". Yet another participant, purports to have actually given up her reading glasses through positive autosuggestion. What this tells us is that "thoughts will eventually manifest themselves into actions". neative thoughts into positive ones.
Many practitioners of 4-D have claimed an increase in telepathic abilities whereby by enterin the 4th dimension they are acting positively in a manner conducive to them. An accomplished 4-D practitioner, tells of an incident in which a group of disgruntled siblings approached him regarding their brother who was engaged in a property dispute with them. The situation had turned rather nasty and unpleasant as these issues inevitably do. Established mental communication with the brother and tried to coax him into resolving the matter amicably. When the family appeared before the judge they were surprised to find that their quarrelsome sibling had withdrawn the case with the intention of distributing the property equitably.
4-D 1 was about using our sub-conscious to free us of our emotional and physical bondage. In itself, it is a passive state. However, 4D2 concerns itself with empowerment. In Fourth Dimension talk, " I can't " is a limiting belief while " I can do it" is a highly empowering belief. Therefore, there is movement from a passive to a highly active state. Among other exercises, its highlight is the fire walk, which will remain the metaphor for empowerment for all who have done it. If you connect yourself to a strong belief, it cancels the fear of the fire. Similarly the spoon bending exercise in the same course teaches focusing and concentration whereby it is possible to bend a>112>45spoon. And once you truly learn to focus, you can do so even when your attention is divided. With this kind of empowerment people claim to experience a new confidence, and take decisions that they have delayed for years. Awareness becomes impenetrable, with eyes wide open and interaction with the world simultaneous. Yet another popular course is called The Neuro Linguistic Program or N.L.P.
This was developed in the U.S. in the seventies and has its basis in walking hypnosis. Leaders like Clinton and Tony Blair have done it and Al Gore used it during his election campaign. It claims that a mere 7% of communication is done through the spoken language, and 93% through body language and tone of voice. Even the movement of your eyeball, left or right, up or down, conveys different messages. N.L.P. is useful in sales and marketing as well as rapport building. For example, it claims that if you match your body language with some one you immediately create harmony with the other person who thereafter becomes relaxed and amenable to you while you able to accurately read his state of mind.
Who comes to these workshops? Is it people whom we label as "losers" and "failures"? The answer is definitely "No" Rather, it is people who search. people who want to improve and excel in life. It has always been the concern of the professor to discover the source of human excellence. "What is it about these exceptional individuals who reach the top and create pathways for people to follow?"
Ultimately, these are people who want change. "crises are about change, awakening, realizing, knowing, remembering; they can be a turning point in our lives. It is interesting that in Chinese there is no character for crisis; the translation of the equivalent is 'time for change'.
