Consider seeing a real live hypnotist to help you with specific areas you want to work on. Someone already posted the famous Milton Erickson quote that "all hypnosis is self hypnosis" which, while true enough is misleading. Sure, it happens in your mind and you are in control; but an experienced pro can guide you and help you accomplish your goals in a way that self hypnotic autosuggestion just doesn't readily do. By going to a licensed professional hypnotist you use their expertise and experience to leverage your own goals.

I did this MTBI a few years ago and now the result is completely different than then. Interesting enough, it really is INFJ as you wrote [grin] Well this could be a sure sign I did in fact change over the years

And that's a great idea to google the type. I didn't thought of it that way. I'm sure I can find interesting stuff [grin]

And something bothers me about these chakras. First of all I have little knowledge od opening them, yet they are open. All of them. Except throat chakra which is over active probably because I tend to dominate and shape the conversation from time to time as I was trained working in sales, be it cold calling or direct. I figured it could do some damage because this type of communication doesn't feel natural which is the reason I failed a lot of times. Almost as I can feel that other person knows that I'm at discomfort even if I don't reveal it through intonation or rythm. Obviously this led me to certain problems as I get tired even from normal conversation and just have like total inabillity to form thoughts and have conversation. I just drift away. I figured that this means that my throat chakra is under-active, not over-active. Also, people tell me that I'm a good listener so I don't really know.

Also, as the site states:
"It makes no sense to try to make over-active chakras less active, as they are compensating for other chakras. To restore the compensation they'd be over-active again in no time. To stop them from compensating, the chakras they are compensating for must be opened."

If I have other chakras open, there is no compensation only disharmony. What do I do then?

Hahaha cool, I wrote INFJ because that's what I am [grin] You really should google it!
Here are two good sites about INFJS:
http://www.truity.com/infj
http://www.personalitypage.com/INFJ.html

Another fun thing to do even though it is a bit off topic is to look up famous INFJs.

The throat chakra issue could benefit from some meditation. Also consider that the throat chakra represents "expressing and being our truth, taking responsibility for our own needs, surrendering our will to the Divine, trusting Source, decision making, personal authority, and our ability to manifest our creative impulses". Do some personal reflection and try to understand why this is an issue. It seems you've already done that a bit from your post about sales.

I've actually found this personality test to be very accurate. We were all made to take it in university so they could judge what kind of team composition was required for projects.

I am an INTP, which I think describes me pretty accurately in general, compared to any of the others.

This is something which stayed in my mind for a long time. As a consequence, I felt that something guided me, I saw an open door to new experience that will be life changing. I cannot say why, but I feel it will.

I have contacted my friend and during common conversation we sort of changed the direction of it through chakra to hypnosis. She is licenced hypnotist and I have agreed to a therapy.

I don't know why but I felt guided as soon as I found this forum. Maybe my will to change was heard [grin]

Also I recommended her this forum. I hope she will join us [thumbup] And I hope I'm not making any pressure on her if she reads this hahaha

Okay in few weeks back, I was practising a bit of meditation. I did a guided meditations mostly, but tried to create my own when I found what works for me. I read a bit about it and yoga. Later on I tried a little of energy work, and grounding.

There is something fundamental changing in me, I don't know how to describe it. It's like I really was darn' dense lead giving my focus to the one point, splitting myself in several parts and trying to banish it with nothing else but panic and fear. Now I have risen above it and I see that I just made my reality more harsh and more unbearable than it should be. I have found joy and childlike anxiety when going to Disneyland, but in my perspective it is pointed towards the challenges in my life. I now know that I have more than enough power and intelligence to overcome it, because I have learned patience and perseverance. [grin]

Is that feeling getting better and better? [yay]

I'm going to second a few other people on here that mentioned something very important before the thread started to take a turn.

Remember the answers are inside yourself. Books and the internet are great tools of inspiration and I would love to recommend every book I ever read to you.

However, I think the most important thing right now is that you figure out who you are, where you came from, what you believe, and why. Why are you asking the questions you're asking. Why do these topics peak your interest? Compare them to other topics, other aspects of your life. Develop a mental image of who you are, who you've been, and you will see the steps you have to take to become the person you want to be.

You could be given all the knowledge in the world, but if you don't know who you are you won't have any idea how to use it.

I started with creating an image of who I wanted to be, then asked myself why. Never stop psychoanalyzing yourself and all these books and internet resources will actually speak to your true self.

Honestly though, sounds to me like you're on the ball. Don't change a thing.... or maybe change everything lol

I was feeling that I might have missed something. [thumbup] thank you [yay]

I do try to find answers on myself, but I'm merely using this knowledge as a food for thought to be able to describe it. I'm doing this midfulness meditations where I try to connect with my inner self with listening and observing my thoughts and feelings, and somehow, everything is connecting by itself.

But I have missed this:

However, I think the most important thing right now is that you figure out who you are, where you came from, what you believe, and why.

For some reason, these questions scare me shitless. This could be the right way.

Fear seems to be a common sign that we are on the right track.

At least in my experience.

In order for me to "know thyself" I had to push every limit I could find. There are less extreme paths out there, but everyone needs something different.

A lot of people are initially "scared" because they begin to see how they are just like everyone else on this earth. That includes the saints and the sinners. The Ghandi's and the Manson's.

People don't generally like seeing evil inside themselves. They aren't really sure what to do about it.

Its important to remember you have a choice. You have the makings of Buddha as well as Hitler. You will feel the desires and aspirations of both Buddha and Hitler. Doesn't mean you have to be like them.

You always have a choice.

Fear serves us well, but the idea is to understand it.

I agree. I have to break free from my comfort zone now and then to be able to live fully. This is something I'm starting to comprehend and I'm always on the lookout for this model of behaviour. Every good thing that happened to me was the product of overcoming my fears. Even if I fail somehow, I have a good lesson [smile] but only if I recognize my fear and accept it.

Something like this:

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

I avoided fear a lot during my past life and every time I fought to stay in my comfort zone I was losing instantly. Who knew that such simple thing could be so hard to reckon [grin]
