Everyone has heard the phrase, my how time flies when your having fun. Well, I am here to tell you it's true. Because time as most people perceive it is an illusion. You're probably wondering what I'm talking about, of course that's why you're reading this article.
Before I started writing this article I repeated to my self several times that " one minute is as five " meaning that for every minute that passed it would be as if I had done five minutes of work. Most everyone has experienced this time distortion. Say for example your in a very long boring meeting or a lecture or any mind numbing activity. Now you will swear the person has been speaking for at least an hour. But when you look at your watch you realize with some shock and horror that only ten minutes has passed. This is time slowing down. The opposite is true as well, when your having fun doing something you really enjoy you figure an hour has gone by and you look at your watch and you have been doing that activity not for an hour but for three hours.
The reason this occurs is because time is fluid but it's not the same for everyone. Let's take the ...
... lecture as an example. To you the boring lecture felt like an hour, to the lecturer who is nervous it may have seemed like two hours. But, to the fellow three rows up who is very interested in the subject of the lecture it seemed like only a few minutes. Now, who is correct? Well in fact all of you are correct, in your perception of time. You see that's how it works; it's your perception of time that is fluid. Once you understand that you can change how you perceive time then you can control time in your life.
Unfortunately that does not mean that you can get home in rush hour traffic in ten minutes when it normally takes you an hour. But you can control how you perceive that hour.
You see man created the concept of time help him control and categorize his world. This was done by dividing up the things he saw in nature IE the seasons and the smaller time bits like the phases of the moon and the still smaller bits of the rising and setting of the sun into smaller and smaller chunks so that he could better arrange his life. Though what has been mostly forgotten is time is an illusion.
If your still with me and like this whole fluid time idea. Try this: the next time you're in a boring situation, like say stuck in traffic,
Relax take a few deep breaths and tell yourself that five minutes are as one" and repeat that several times. This will change your perception of time so though you will still have to drive those five minutes they will seem like only one minute. And I am willing to bet that the commute won't "seem" nearly as long as usual. There are so many application of this concept the only real limit is your imagination.
Allot of people are fascinated by the concept of time travel. There is a lot of controversy both in the scientific community and the hypnosis community. From everything I have read I believe that using current life regression and past life regression as well as other modalities it is possible though not physically possible to go back in time it is possible to alter past personal events to effect your present and your future. The reason I believe this is possible is that not only is time flexible but so is our perception of our reality. For example, let's say there is someone who is deathly afraid of heights because of a trauma as a child. But using any of several techniques we remove the trauma from that memory so that all subsequent height memories no longer have that trauma and fear connected with them. That person would no longer have a fear of heights. So, have we traveled back in time? I will leave that for you to decide. But the same concepts can be used to visit past lives as well for either therapy or discovery.
It felt as though I have been writing for well over an hour but in fact by my watch it has been about 40 minutes. Not the five to one ratio I was hoping for but that will come with practice.
