The subconscious mind consists of a multitude of experiences, both good and bad, that a person has gone through from the womb up to the present day. This collection of experiences and knowledge forms the basis of every decision we make in response to daily reality, with a powerful influence of 95–99%, often occurring automatically and sometimes without our awareness (uncontrolled).Almira likens the dynamics of the human subconscious to a pair of glasses. If these glasses are cracked, it becomes difficult for us to see reality as it truly is. Reality becomes distorted, and as a result, the decisions we make are automatically based on information from that distorted reality.Quoting Anaïs Nin, “We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.” Therefore, if we want to make better decisions and lead a successful and meaningful life, we must first improve the way we perceive reality—in other words, we must fix our glasses. Almira is a professional in the field of personal development, currently focusing specifically on her roles as a Hypnotherapist, Educator, and Consultant. Her deep passion for the dynamics of the human subconscious has led her to the understanding that people are inherently born with a good nature and are meant to succeed. However, negative beliefs and past experiences stored in the subconscious often hinder individuals from fulfilling their destiny of becoming successful. To reach success, one must embark on an inner journey and overcome these obstacles.Almira’s core mission is to support others in their personal growth, guiding them to become whole, successful individuals living meaningful lives aligned with their true essence. For her, change within one person has the potential to create a ripple effect, influencing others around them—and this is what can help make the world a more livable place.
