There is no such state as hypnosis or self-hypnosis and everything is hypnosis. [grin] Hypnosis is a word meaning sleep, Dr Braid who coined the word for what he thought was a state of sleep. Later he discovered it was not, and tried to change the word used. But gave up because it already had such wide spread use, he decided it was impossible to change it. I use it ONLY because it is so well known, and there are so many books on the subject, that if I used another term it would deprive others of those resources. The brain already KNOWS at subconscious levels, what is causing the problem. When we give the brain commands to make changes in the most - effective - manner, it accepts the commands and just does the job. It already HAS the capability to do so. It always has had the ability to deal with the feelings or emotions caused by trauma and had it WHEN the experience happened that caused it. Much like a computer, it does not act until told to do with the correct programming. It just sits there waiting for the commands to do so. It _could_ have discharged the emotions contained in the ENGRAM or recording of everything which happened in one instant which has all the information from all perceptics included. Creating a collage of resources, "anchoring" them by pressing the thumb and a finger on the left hand, as you think about them in the manner described in "RELAX TO THE MAX" provides a "network" of resources. Then when used in the manner I teach individuals to use on the phone, the subconscious just does the job. It will help even with that small amount of training or reprogramming, but when an individual gets the set of tapes, the subconscious can learn a lot more. For there is even a lecture by a Neuro Surgeon about how the brain works, on the tapes at subliminal levels. Until a person KNOW how the brain works, they dont believe how it works, and then it only works the way they believe it works. Most have a lot of mis-information about how it functions. WHEN the individual is experiencing the painful feelings, those feelings are a direct LINK to the "sensitizing" memory which contains the ENGRAM. I teach the individual to access the "resources" to deal with the engram at subconscious levels, even if they can't consciously recall that memory. Many times they have already "programmed" themselves NOT to recall it with "positive thinking in a negative way or to think positively that they do not want to think about that memory." So when the feelings are "triggered" by present day experiences, they cant consciously recall that memory. Many think after traumatic experiences things like, I wish I could stop thinking about this or that and other memories which they have buried. For years I had suppressed many memories of Korea, which were too painful to think about. They still caused problems for me. It can take years of therapy to bring them to conscious memory, people dont have that kind of time or the money for therapy to do so. In the 50's or 60's I could not find a therapist who could help me, and had to find a way to help myself with PTSD, so began making tapes to use myself. To in effect "become my own therapist." The processes which I call "Conflict Resolution (tm)" and "RELAX TO THE MAX." grew out of those tapes. I would tape materiel using ideas I came up with and what I learned from others. Sometimes I changed them weekly, even asked myself questions in deep levels of hypnosis, and had a tape playing to record the session so I could later hear the ansers. The original tapes I made were for myself, because when I remained conscious enough to use Self Hypnosis, I could not reach the Sonambulistic states where the best work could be done with my clients. And no one can reach on their own, the newest levels which are known as Coma levels, in which physical healing can talk place very quickly. My wife can reach Coma levels in less than 60 seconds due to the amount of practice she has had. --- FLAME v1.0 * Origin: For PTSD or Emotions & Physical HELP 714-525-1706 (1:10/25) PATH: 10/25 103/501 121 3615/50 138/103 1 352/3 410 03
