POWERFUL ANCIENT GREEK HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUE for MANIFESTATION

This basic Askesis, taught within The AGIO Method®, is for inducing a calm, relaxed and harmonious state of body, mind and spirit. It is also conducive to ‘programming’ the subconscious in realizing a specific “instruction” or “mission”, for example a Personal Mission Statement (as discussed in the previous askesis: “Define Your Ithaca”)
Background: The practice of consciously recognizing and controlling our imagination or dreams, has been around for centuries, since ancient Greek times, when "Morpheus" the ancient Greek God of Dreams was venerated. 
Many temples (Epidaurus, Delphi, Ephesus, and others) contained a special area for ‘dream incubation’ where pilgrims were induced into a sort of sleep-trance for dreaming, with the intention of meeting a particular divinity for the purpose of healing or receiving a message/ insight. (Hypno-agogia: Greek for ‘Sleep - Channelling’)

Today, modern doctors recommend the daily practice of a deeply relaxing inner state of body and mind, of at least twenty minutes, to help us manage stress and anxiety in a natural, non-chemical way. 
Furthermore, scientific studies have proven that in a relaxed state, the mind is more than ​two hundred (200x!) times more receptive to suggestions, than in its ordinary, conscious state, allowing new thoughts to slip through the defenses of the ‘older guard’ of thoughts and habits.​ In addition, when we introduce a 'Personal Mission Statement' (or positive affirmations) during this practice, it can bring on positive, powerful changes in our life. If you are a practicing Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Jew or any other religion, the Deep Relaxation can also enhance your spiritual experience and euphoria.
Here are the benefits of this Deep Relaxation through Guided Meditation:

• Calms your nerves. Helps you handle stress better in general.
• Cultivates the process of self-induced deep relaxation, so that you can 'relax yourself' at will.
• Increases your mindfulness, allowing you to become more intuitive.
• Offers space to insert a deeply empowering mission statement for personal transformation, during the practice..
• Relieves some psychosomatic stress related symptoms.

It’s no wonder many professional athletes and top entrepreneurs use these techniques to get outstanding results. 

When asked about hypnotherapy in an article of the Harvard Medical School Journal (Sept. 2015) Dr. Max Shapiro, psychologist, answered that: 
"It is now known that the brain has greater ability to influence the body than previously acknowledged… A hypnotic trance empowers people to activate neural circuits that are otherwise hidden… This circuitry can activate greater comfort for pain relief, greater mental focus for certain activities, and greater self-esteem."
