How The Lemon Test Can Change Your Life

Imagine, picture or just think about this . you're standing in your kitchen. You can feel the cool floor on your bare feet. A clock is ticking in the background. and there you see it. A nice big, juicy lemon. You move over to the fruit bowl and pick up the lemon.

You can feel the texture of the lemon and you can smell that distinct lemony fragrance. You place the lemon on a cutting board and take out your favourite cutting knife. You slice the lemon in half; fresh lemon juice spurts everywhere. You then slice the lemon in quarters. The tart lemony smell fills your nostrils. You pick up a quarter of lemon and sense the lemon juice flowing over your fingers. you slowly bring the lemon up to your mouth and then quickly bite into it. Juice explodes in your mouth as you taste that distinct tart flavour of the lemon.

Let me ask you a question. As you were imagining this scene, did your mouth water?

If it didn't, quick, ring a Doctor because you may already have passed away!

And of course, there are times when we are daydreaming about any food and our mouth waters. We take this for granted. so what's the big deal?

There are, in fact, two big deals.

• 1. Your mind (in particular your subconscious mind) cannot tell what is real and what is imagined.
• 2. What your mind expects tends to be realised.

Through imagination, which is the language of the subconscious mind, an event which is not even real produced a physiological change in your body.

In short. A thought produced a physical change in your body.

That is a big deal. And it is the very foundation of how hypnotherapy works.

It's how overweight clients imagine themselves as slim and at their ideal goal weight and their body responds accordingly.

It's how golfers imagine the perfect shot and the muscles of their body carry out the shot, exactly as imagined.

It's how smokers imagine a life being set free from their old smoking habit. And how their bodies now crave clean, fresh, life-giving air instead of nicotine.

It's how people suffering with pain can transform it into a comfortable, warm sensation or even dissociate themselves from the pain altogether.

It's how you can be encouraged to break free of whatever may be holding you back.

It's how you can and will change your life!
