the scenery hear the sounds smell the aromas feel the feeling that safe comfortable feeling of well-being you you you you you you you and now as you are enjoying this wonderful safe comfortable place I'm going to speak to your subconscious mind the subconscious mind is similar to a computer all through our lives it is taking in information things that we see and hear things that we learn from others the subconscious mind also takes in what we observe by just being everything is stored in the files of the subconscious mind ready to be accessed whenever appropriate and the state of deep relaxation also provides the opportunity for super learning so as I speak to you now it isn't important that you pay attention to the words I'm saying as a result of this deeply relaxed state this
