Show Notes for Episode 153

  • Our new course on self hypnosis is now available
  • Why was The Haunting so scary? Because it shows nothing! It's all in the imagination and the unconscious response...
  • If you ever had a resource, it's still there and accessible!
  • Meditation is a form of self-hypnosis...but all hypnosis is not meditation...
  • Chanting, drumming, Zen koans, story telling, all produce trance...
  • We can make all sorts of change through self-hypnosis!
  • But...self-hypnosis will not change physical reality...
  • All hypnosis is to some degree self-hypnosis...
  • Practice makes perfect! Even in self-hypnosis...
  • Ecology first! Always check with your doctor before doing any of this stuff...
  • You can't use self-hypnosis instead of exercising! It's complementary...
  • Remember Garry Coles? He uses hypnosis with oncologists...
  • Remedial change is fixing things. Generative change is improving things you already do well, or creating new skills!
  • What do you want? or What would you like to have happen?
  • Frame it in the positive, instead of the negative, because the negatives form an infinite list! Make sure it's achievable too within a reasonable time frame...
  • 20 to 30 minutes is long enough for all kinds of things...
  • We know you aren't asleep, so don't write to correct us for saying "awaken"!
  • Will you be tired and ready for bed, or alert and ready for anything?
  • Set up a good environment...make it brain nourishing...
  • Dark or bright? Lying down, or sitting upright in a chair?
  • Be ready for disturbances...phone, neighbours, emergencies, etc.
  • Self-hypnosis that is routined will work well - Same time, same place...
  • Don't do self-hypnosis right before bed (unless you're using it to sleep)
  • The Pixel Induction is awesome! Notice the pixels...feel the catalepsy!
  • Once in trance, it's time to do the change work...
  • An induction opens the door for whatever is next...that's right...

The Lawn Tree Blooms!

  • Breathe in a powerful resource! Confidence, Power, Endurance, etc.
  • What's the colour of the resource? That's the one you go with...
  • Breathe it in, and send it through your entire being...
  • Then come out of trance...open your eyes...gently stretch...come back.
  • This can be done in just a few minutes!
  • Once you're experienced, you can even skip the induction completely!
  • BONUS! Stanley Fisher PhD talked about 90 second self-hypnosis! Do it every hour or so, through the day...

Empowering Questions:

Ask yourself: Now that I know how to change my feelings about something that bothers me, what will I work on first as I begin to make the power of self-hypnosis a regular part of my life?
