In the traditional meditation position, one sits cross legged and places the index fingers and thumbs together. The index finger symbolizes the mind and the other three fingers worldly pleasures. The thumb symbolizes God. The finger position thus represents the goal of meditation.... to take your attention away from worldly things and place it on God.
Rather than stopping thoughts, one places one's attention on something more alluring and compelling within oneself. Thoughts become background noise as we have turned our attention inward. We become aligned and attuned to our essence vibrating within. We become anchored in the "now". We are conscious of and connected to our source. The drop returns to the ocean.
Hypnosis works on a different level, the level of the mind. When our conscious mind becomes overloaded and/or overwhelmed, we escape into our unconscious mind. Our unconscious holds all of our life experiences which program us and create automatic behaviors. Some of the programming is positive and is constructive. However, sometimes we outgrow those automatic behaviors as they can become limiting. By accessing our unconscious, we can replace limiting beliefs, and behaviors with positive, life affirming and constructive ones. We can then move forward in our life in a more productive and satisfying way.
