Anyone who suffers from a fear or phobia would go to great lengths to get hold of such a wand. In the world of magic, a wand is used as a distraction; used to misdirect the attention of the audience. We know that this is the truth, and we cling to the hope that such a wondrous piece of apparatus does indeed exist. The magic wand is merely a metaphor for a cure.

I think that we particularly like the idea of the magic wand because it does not depend on our ability to do anything at all. But this in itself is an unfortunate misdirection. Because the majority of things which we want to cure or to attain hinge upon something which is not outside of us. The majority of cures come from within.

This is definitely the case with fears and phobias. Fears arise from the hidden depths of your mind and bubble up to the surface, but more often upon a tidal wave of emotion. And in that moment when the fear is washing through you, it is as if a tight band has wrapped itself around your logical thought processes. Your reactions are that of “fight or flight”, and logic simply has no part in that instinctive and automatic response.

It is for this reason that no amount of logical thinking will help you to overcome a phobia. When you are gripped by fear the higher logical thinking parts of the brain are temporarily cut off, and they only re-engage once your emotions have returned to a state of calm. Logical thought will not usually help even then, because the learned beliefs which trigger the phobic reaction are stored in the subconscious mind.

To cure a phobia, you need to find a way to access your subconscious mind. NLP and hypnosis is a powerful tool that will allow you to do exactly this. Once you gained access to your subconscious, you will be able to change your inner thoughts, beliefs and expectations.
