The process in which a person gains control over one’s own mind and
subsequently influence their own thinking, attitude, behavior, emotions
or decision making is known as
mind control.
This term has various other aliases which are brainwashing, coercive
persuasion, thought control, thought reform and systematic manipulation
of psychological and social influence. When a person adapts this
technique with full perfection he is able to make anyone do things
according to the manipulator’s will. It is a form of hypnosis in cases
where two parties are involved where in the victim of coercive
persuasion can create new attitudes to do those things willingly which
they formerly might have detested.
When the technique of mind control is practiced on oneself it helps the individual in a variety of ways.
It helps you to communicate with yourself and understand your
capabilities that have been submerged within you all your life and
finally to channel your strength and learn how to use it to your own
benefit. By aiding you in gaining total control of your emotions and
thoughts thus developing self control this technique is an ultimate
life saver and proves to boost your inner confidence. You tend to use
this balanced control on yourself to tackle any kind of major
difficulties you come across in life. This technique not just helps you
gain self control but also makes you so influential in the eyes of the
people around you thus winning over their respect and eventually paving
a way to a peaceful life.
It is rather easy to control other
organs of your body like your eyes, hands, legs and so on wherein when
you want to close your eyes your brain signals the eyes to be closed
and so it is done but when it comes to the mind, the moment you decide
not to think of a certain thing, the mind thinks of it anyway. The
moment you are able to manipulate your thinking according to your own
will you can be successfully termed as a master of your own
consciousness. Hypnosis is one of the techniques of mind control where
you experience a change in your thoughts and feelings and an alteration
in your perception of certain things. In cases of extreme pain or hurt
it can ask your mind to eliminate the pain which does prove to be so
when you have total control of your mind. Thus mind control is
effectively used as a painkiller and a way to alleviate anxiety.
Sleeping and eating disorders can be cured using this technique.
Techniques like self-hypnosis is one of the most effective mind control
procedure practiced on one self that eventually helps you come out of a
stressful situation, get rid of bad habits and addictions and inculcate
self-motivation.
You also gain the ability to prevent some
memories from occurring in your mind that might have caused emotional
disturbance in the past. Sometimes psychotherapists make their patients
listen to recorded tapes of positive messages that are aimed at seeping
in the positive thoughts into the patient’s mind and thus changing
their outlook towards certain things. Another mind control technique is
to practice the silent treatment. At times there are people or
situations that bother us to the extremes but when you gain effective
control on your mind you tend to be neutral towards these unwanted
elements in your life and try and be indifferent to what has been
bothering you. By remaining indifferent you attain peace of mind and
instead make the others who create trouble for you wonder how well you
handle the situation with your calm attitude. This behavior not only
changes your way of thinking but also changes the way people approach
you.
