Break your Archetypes

Of late, I have been meeting clients who constantly claim they cannot enter hypnosis even though they have already by my guidance entered a moderate level of hypnosis. So upon emerging them, I asked them what is stopping them from relaxing further.
"I can hear you perfectly well! Shouldn't I not be able to hear you? Shouldn't I be sleeping?"
Well it seems that even though it has explained time after time during consultation and before the session, I would like to take this chance to explain yet again. In hypnosis, we are not sleeping. We are not in a zonked out mood. We are not out cold like an iron bar to the head. In fact, contrary to belief, we are in fact more able to hear our therapist; our sense of sound and smell is much stronger. We feel very relaxed; some people feel heavy while others feel floaty, other than that, they are always listening to the therapist and very aware of what is happening.
Then when they go under hypnosis, I realized the one thing that is stopping them from entering a deeper state: Am I hypnotized? That is the question that most clients ask when they are hypnotized by us therapist. The answer is simple, yes you are if you only let yourself so. By doubting yourself and questioning yourself, you are not allowing yourself to enjoy the full benefits of entering a deep state of hypnosis. The trick in letting yourself go is just to focus on the voice of the therapist, let yourself experience the bodily sensations that will follow and just go with the flow, don't fight it.
SO the next time when you all come for therapy, bring in your stereotypes about hypnosis but be ready to let them be debunked. Do bring in an open mind too!

Walking On
“It’s always necessary to know when a stage of one’s life has ended. If you stubbornly cling to it after the need has passed, you lose the joy and meaning of the rest. And you risk being shaken to your senses”. - Paulo Coehlo, The Fifth Mountain.
In our life we face many times when we enter a state of transition; the passing of a sweet relationship, the farewell of a loved one, the loss of a job. Surely we have had our fair share but I’m sorry but there’s more to come. Because life is as such, it’s about keeping up that gait of yours till the final passing.
We all hate goodbyes, dang I even hate birthdays cause each birthday and each good bye is bidding farewell to the stage of life that has just past. I look back and I think: has the time I spent been a total waste or has it? Were there any life lessons I could pick up to help better my walk? If I could have done better, how then can I do it?
This state of transition that we’re in is an opportune time to take some time off the ever flowing pace of life and just close your eyes and reflect. Think of your current pace of life, contemplate your next step, and if you’ve got a lot of time, do something you’ve never done before but always wanted to do. Go celebrate life for each passing of a stage is the entry into another.
Please make sure you have closure for the stage that has passed. Throw a party, go for a getaway, do something stupid, just do something that can signify you leaving the past because when you enter the next stage in life, you don’t want weights from the past still pulling you back. When baby eagles learn to fly, they just drop out of their nest, off the cliff and they drop at least 10 feet. What a way to signify the passing of their youth; They then open their wings and fly. Those that didn’t leave the nest never did survive.
I wish I could have relived many parts in my life again, then again when I thought about it, it could have progressed differently if i tried again and no amount of trying would have resulted in a more perfect memory than the one that has just past. Smile and keep walking. I have always liked this advert and it shall end this post.
Smile!

That Subtle Drag

Yes, that very subtle and transient feeling of yourself slowing down, not yet to a halt, but just at a crawl. When you find you stop performing at top speed, stop giving results on time, and start taking your time.. you know you are suffering from that poison. That particular poison is called Procrastination.
We all have our Ups and Downs, just as our priorities in life. At different periods in our life, we will have different priorities. Our priorities are ever changing and when they do change, things with lower priority gets paid lesser attention and we fulfill them less quickly. However, when there is a misplacement of our priorities, such as things that are supposed to be of higher priority getting placed in lower priority regions, I'm sorry to say but you have picked up the bug of procrastination
I must admit, even I get victimized by it sometimes. Well here's a story to share:
Bob was called up one day. A deep voice sounded through the receiver, " May i speak to Bob please?" "Speaking, how may I help you?" replied Bob. "Congratulations young man, We would like to give you a place in our establishment. When may I expect you?" Said the man. "Wow...gosh...Ok, could you give me a month to settle my personal affairs first? I'll definitely be there in a month's time. How may I address you?" said Bob. " No worries at all Bob. You can call me Charlie or Mr Brucker. Well we'll see you in a month!"
A month passed but Bob hasnt turned up at the office yet. Charlie called again, " Hi Bob, I'm just calling to check on you. Will I be seeing you soon?" "Yes! Definitely, but in a week's time." said Bob. "Oh all right then, see you then Bob".
And so a week passed but still no sign of Bob in the office. Charlie called again, " Hi bob, I'm just checking on you, how's things?" "Much apologies Mr Brucker. I will be at the office tomorrow at 9 am."replied Bob.
And the next day, Bob did not appear at 9 am. Charlier called Bob again." Hi Bob.." "Oh yes! Mr Brucker! I was just about to call you and tell you that I would be there at 1pm."replied Bob. "Oh its all right Bob, save the trouble. We've decided to give your post to someone else. Good day."said Charlie and with that, the phone disengaged.
* End *
I hope this story strikes a chord or two in you readers. As Nike says: Just Do It!

I believe....

I was told many a thing about hypnosis. I have seen many things about hypnosis. Where did I get my sources from?
In this time and age, much that we know about any subject is through the media, TV programs, newspaper articles etc. Though this form of communication does reach the masses and allow fast and widespread of information, it is a double edged sword. Accurate information could be passed as easily as inaccurate information.
What we have known about many controversial issues to this date is still obscured e.g. is Flouride really good for you? What about artificial sugar, does it really help make us healthier? Lets even talk about the merits of Panadol? But not here we would not discuss all these.
Hypnosis. What do we really know about it. Personally, I used to think that hypnosis is just a show, a mockery of the malleability of the lay mind to believe what he sees. In truth, it is beyond any movie or TV show. It has performed over time but underplayed by the media. It has been used by medical institutions but under-credited over the ages ( it was recognized since 1892 by the British Medical Association)
Be not kept in the dark about controversies. Enquire and be enriched with a more wholesome perspective.
