The Control Room is a mental device that will help you to harness the power of visualization for health improvement. It takes about 3 minutes and is extremely beneficial to your health when used regularly. Many people use the Control Room each morning before they get out of bed. Take a moment and give it a try.

The 3 minute Control Room Exercise (Self-Hypnosis Tutorial)

Before doing this exercise, take a minute and take 2 or 3 slow deep breaths. This will bring you into a calm state known as the "Alpha" state. The Alpha state is also closely associated with the times that you are
"in the zone," that is, when you are experiencing perfect mental focus.

Then, simply imagine yourself in a room with several knobs and switches covering the walls. Each row of switches is labeled as follows:



Then, visualize turning each switch "on." As you do this, picture a light within your chest getting brighter and brighter with each switch you turn on. The light is made of pure healing energy. As it gets brighter, you feel the healing energy spreading across your entire body, bathing your internal organs with a miraculous healing light. Healing and rejuvenating every cell in your body.

After, turning on all the switches, (1-9 and Internal Organs), continue to visualize the light illuminating your entire body. Then, slowly turn the "Healing Power" knob clockwise while picturing the light getting brighter and brighter, safely healing and energizing your entire body (or specific areas of your body).

Then, you're done. Now, you know how to achieve a "light" self-hypnosis.
If you were to do this excercise everyday for 21 days, you would see results in your life (even with this light version of self-hypnosis). You can take this device and alter it for whatever purpose you wish. For example, you may wish to add a row of control switches that is labeled "Muscle Tone" or "Bone Strengthener" or "Body Temperature" or "Mental Focus." The Control Room is an all-purpose mental tool. You can use it to help place cancer into remission or just use it to improve your golf game!

According to Dr. David Spiegel, MD (Director of the Complementary Medicine center at the Stanford School of Medicine) when talking about patients undergoing invasive radiological procedures; "Those who were taught self-hypnosis used one-ninth the medication, and yet they had significantly less pain, less anxiety, less instability of their heart rate and blood pressure, fewer procedural interruptions and got out of the recovery room sooner than those who were not taught self-hypnosis."

There are literally thousands of miracle stories using mental devices
such as the Control Room. For example, a little boy that was diagnosed with a baseball-sized brain tumor was given 6 months to live. During this time he created an imaginary universe within his mind, where he was able to fight the cancer. He imagined himself as Luke Skywalker descending on a hostile planet called "Planet Meatball." Yes, Planet Meatball.

Planet Meatball was his representation of his brain tumor. And, each night before going to bed, he visualized that he was Luke Skywalker attacking Planet Meatball. He would shoot at the planet with laser guns and dropped bombs on it, disintegrating it bit by bit. One evening, 6 months later, he destroyed the last little bit of Planet Meatball and announced to his parents that he was cured. He asked to be taken for more x-rays. His parents pretended to be thrilled, but were incredibly nervous about receiving more bad news. They took him to the doctor the next day. Upon having x-rays, it was discovered that his brain tumor had disappeared.

Now, if this mental tool works on a condition as large and deadly as a baseball-sized brain tumor, think of all the other things you could change by using creative visualization for 10 minutes a day!
