Be less materialistic and escape from the tyranny of possessions
You are a physical being living in a world of matter. Matter matters. Without it, you would die. This is both a
blessing and a curse. On the one hand, matter keeps you alive. On the other, 'materialism' - treating matter as
the only thing that matters - can turn that life into a hollow sham. But is there a way to respect your material
nature and be less materialistic in the world we live in today?
The epidemic of materialism - is there a cure?
Trying to be less materialistic is quite a challenge. The cultural history of the developed world has seen materialism
sweeping the globe like some kind of epidemic. It's not just a matter of individual lifestyle choices. The economies
and cultures we live in actively promote materialism as a sort of 'higher good' for the whole of society. If you don't
participate, you are seen as letting the side down.
Materialism - good and bad
The argument seems plausible at first sight. If you buy 'stuff', you are supporting the jobs and livelihoods of others.
That seems like a good thing, and it is a good thing. But like everything else in life, when taken to extremes, it starts
turning bad, and we all (buyers and sellers) suffer (and so does our planet, as we are constantly reminded these days).
Although many people are slowly waking up to this now, it has yet to be reflected generally in the advertising messages
with which we are all bombarded every hour of every day. According to them, acquisition is still what it's all about. We
are like the famous Pavlov's dogs - conditioned to go out and buy, buy, buy, whether we need to or not.
How to escape from materialism
But you are not really a dog and the fact that you are reading this indicates that you have already seen through the myth
of materialism in some ways and are even actively looking for ways to redress the balance in your life. If you've been
living a life shaped by materialistic concerns, you will already be aware how strong a grip it has on you, and how hard
it is to shift your mindset and behaviors into a healthier pattern.
Just as you were unconsciously drawn in to the patterns of materialism, you can deploy your unconscious skills and
intelligence to develop healthier patterns more in line with your true life principles. And by far the most effective and
powerful way to do this is by using hypnosis.
Hypnosis can help you be less materialistic

takes you on a powerful inner journey of change.
