			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Affirmations are an effective self-help technique to re-program your subconscious mind. When applied properly, affirmations combined with actions that are in line with your goals will help you achieve your dreams, your goals, and your desires. Did you know that with the right kind of music, you can get more from your affirmations?</p>
<p>An affirmation is a carefully formatted statement that should be repeated frequently. A well formatted affirmation is in the present tense, it is positive, it is personal and it is specific.</p>
<h2>Theta Suggestibility</h2>
<p>If you are using affirmations as part of your self improvement routine, you can utilize theta music to enhance the intake of your affirmations. In fact, the introduction of music into your affirmation routine expands your openness and increases your suggestibility, making your affirmations more effective.</p>
<p>Hypnosis practitioners know that one of the keys to effectively integrating affirmations into your subconscious mind is to be in the theta brainwave state while receiving the affirmations. The theta state heightens receptivity, improves imagery, and increases your connection to your senses, immersing you more fully in the experience. It so happens that in the theta state, you are also more receptive to information: theta is the ultimate brain state for making positive changes in your subconscious process.</p>
<p>In the enhanced state of relaxation induced by theta music, your critical, judgmental conscious mind takes a back seat while you remain open to suggestion. While this brainwave state is ideal for behavior modification, it is worth noting that you are safe: at no time does your increased suggestibility override your free will. No affirmation or suggestion can make you quack like a duck unless you want to. </p>
<h2>Improving Affirmations with Theta Music</h2>

<p>Some of my music is created specifically to engage the theta brainwave state. Drawing from a number of holistic philosophies and technologies like <a href="http://higher-music.com/entrainment/">binaural beats</a>, I create gentle music that maintains a soothing and introspective mood while guiding your mind to deeper states of theta, improving your suggestibility and hypnotic affirmation intake. When you are listening to albums like <em><a href="http://higher-music.com/gammadrone/" title="Gammadrone - Gamma brainwave frequencies">Gammadrone</a></em>, <em><a href="http://higher-music.com/insight-meditation/" title="Insight - Theta Meditation Music">Insight Meditation</a></em> and <em><a href="http://higher-music.com/solfeggio-suite/" title="Solfeggio Frequencies with Binaural Beats">Solfeggio Suite</a></em> while phrasing your goals and desires, your affirmations are more powerfully imprinted on the brain.</p>
