Biography for Octavio Medina, CHt

Octavio’s hunger for knowledge to understand human behavior and be able to help people with all kind of problems that most of us have to face in our life, inspired him to come to HMI where he learned that most of our problems are derived from our conscious and subconscious mind. This meant to him that we might be creating our own problems unconsciously, and all due to the fact that we do not know how the mind works. “If this is the case”, he concluded, “then I must learn how my subconscious mind works.”

In learning how the subconscious mind works you will realize that there is no need to blame others or complain about anything—people, circumstances or events—that make your life what it is. And once you become aware of the fact that the mind is the source of everything—good and bad—that happens in your life you will be on your way to enjoy life to the fullest.

Most of us do not know that we create, consciously and unconsciously, the circumstances and events that we go through every day and we blame anybody else but ourselves. We are not aware of the fact that what we think, what we believe, what we expect or what we fear tend to create events and circumstances that make us happy or unhappy.

After so many years of study and search for answers to achieve success in life, I finally found out that learning how to reprogram my subconscious mind with the tools of Hypnotherapy I would be on my way to help myself and help others to become the best version of themselves.

At HMI I learned about the power of the subconscious mind and how to use it to help my self and others, and I made it my mission to use Hypnotherapy to contribute with my part in improving the wellbeing of everyone whose goal in life is to improve in all aspects of their life. I have found out that fear is the cause of many physiological and psychosomatic diseases, as well as the main cause of failure in life. I also found out that what we believe and what we expect determines what we end up getting in life. In other words, If a person knew that fear is nothing but a self-created resistance or a defense mechanism that some of us develop unconsciously, then, success and happiness would be inevitable.
