Aging and Hospitalization: A Mantra to Help Rapid Recovery

As we age, our bodies deteriorate, and disease and degenerative changes take their toll. We become incapacitated and end up in hospitals where our hard-working doctors and nurses patch us up to get us fit again to go back home.

But do you know that we are hypnotic creatures and live in a hypnotic world where we hypnotize ourselves 24 hours a day to create a fantasy world through our thinking process? When we think, we are hypnotizing ourselves. So whether you are a professional or a non-professional, religious or non-religious person, believer or a non-believer, we practise self-hypnosis all the time.

Hypnosis is all about how we use the power of words to influence our subconscious mind to go in the direction we want. Please understand that our subconscious mind is a neutral field of energy that keeps us alive. All our vital functions are under subconscious control. The subconscious mind regulates our healing and the immune system. Since words have a direct conditioned reflex action on our subconscious mind, they are a tool we can use to manipulate our subconscious mind.

I am 88 years old. I suffer from spinal stenosis, which is a debilitating condition and makes me miserable. I told myself this was a mechanical problem and no amount of mind power would solve my problem. I had no choice but to have surgery. I was hypnotizing myself to have surgery.

On the other hand, my number one medical daughter kept saying, “No, Dad, you have a choice”. This irritated me. I wondered why. Later, I realized that I was trying to hypnotize myself to go in one direction, and my daughter attempted to dehypnotize me with her truthful statement.

Five months ago, I had a successful decompression lumbar laminectomy. I was recovering fine when a simple, flexible cystoscopy led me to the hospital emergency department twice within two weeks for urgent IV treatment for UTI. It made me feel weak and washed out. When I looked around me, I saw many dilapidated souls getting treatment for various conditions, probably worse off than me. It allowed me to think about how we can hypnotize ourselves for faster recovery and less suffering.

HEAL, CURE: Healing and curing go hand in hand. When we heal, we cure ourselves. We are born with the healing power within us. It lies in our subconscious mind. We should be using it.

PROTECT: Our immune system is under subconscious control. We should use it to protect us from negative influences.

ENERGIZE: Since our energy level is low, we should appeal to our subconscious to give us more strength.

HARMONIZE: If your mind says one thing and your body says something else, you are in disharmony. We should harmonize.

LET GO: Most of us fear death, and we cling on to things. The more we cling, the more we will suffer. Remember, we were born into this world without a single cent, and when we depart, we cannot take a single cent with us. We should prepare to let go.

Having formulated these words into a mantra, we can now start repeating: “Heal, Protect and Energize” as a mantra. You may add “Harmonize” and “Let Go” if needed. You do not have to believe in the words. You do not have to mean what you say. You do not have to concentrate on the words you say. Say off-hand whenever you remember and as often as you can. Keep repeating parrot fashion.

Tell me how you feel in 24 hours, after one week, and then one month. I assure you that you will see changes in your perceptions of reality. You will become more peaceful and energetic. This mantra I have developed will help you recover from your illness faster with the help of all the doctors and nurses. If you are recovering in the hospital or at home, try it. You have nothing to lose. No belief is required.

Please understand that most people fill their minds with random, useless thoughts when not actively thinking. This mantra will give your subconscious mind a sense of direction and purpose. It will help you become more peaceful and healthy as you recover from disease or disability. At this stage of life, it can improve your health and general outlook. Please learn about hypnosis. We live in a hypnotic world. If we do not wake up from self-hypnosis, we will keep chasing our shadows for the rest of our lives until time grinds us to dust.
