Want to Create an Amazing Future?

I found an interesting hypnotherapy book at the Body Mind Spirit expo here in Portland, OR. It's called, Discover the Language of the Mind by Patrick K. Porter, Ph.D. Within the text, he discusses a topic called, Psycho-Linguistics, which is the study of the language that the brain responds to in order to create effective and lasting change. A "series of patterns designed around strategies rather than problems."(Porter,P.1)

Now, some of this material is review for me as I learned a few of these techniques in my hypnotherapy course. However, as a continual learner and grower, I am seeking out various literature to absorb and glean from so that I can improve my skills as a hypnotherapist. I also want to hypnotize myself through the use of audio recording of scripts in addition to being induced into trance by other hypnotherapists.

To self hypnotize, I read and record these scripts along with music so that I can download the Mp3 into my Ipod and listen to before bed or upon awakening. The benefit of listening to them right before sleep is that the brain processes the suggestions during sleep. Upon awakening, it clears any negative dreams that I may have had or gets me into a state of meditation to prepare for the day. As my practice develops, I will be able to create these scrips for my clients as well.

I found a really amazing and practical script for reaching goals by a technique called, "Creating a Compelling Future."

Now, you may be wondering..Why would you want to "Create a Compelling Future"?

*A person wants her or his future to be better than her or his past.
*A person wants to dissolve or reprogram the unconscious self sabotage that is preventing her or him from reaching important goals.

*By creating a future that is compelling to you, you will have more motivation to strive to live this wonderful future that you have the power and control to produce.

As Dr. Porter states, "The purpose of this technique is to program the future with the desired changes in place, using a NLP process known as "future pacing", which means to mentally rehearse oneself living the desired future with the goal of creating behaviors and responses that feel natural and automatic."(Porter, P.133)

This allows the client to change current self sabotaging behavior easily because the mind has been rewired with the desired healthy and/or effective behavior that brings a person more contentment in life. This has been referred to as,"living as if." Have you ever just decided to improve your attitude about something and suddenly you see it from a new perspective? Well, this process works in this way ten fold.

Here is a sample self hypnosis script for you to try and enjoy.

The Steps to Creating a Compelling Future:

*Please only read when you are ready to be hypnotized and not at work or studying.

My eyes are comfortably closed...I take in three deep cleansing breaths...with each exhalation, I feel myself go deeper and deeper into a state of relaxation. So, with just this thought of relaxation and the intention of relaxation, I will be ten times more relaxed than I am now.

From here I will notice that with each word that is read, each breath that I take, I will relax and go deeper. It may be hard now for me to keep my eyes open, but I myself to blink slowly so that I can continue to read these words.

Now that I know how to relax, I imagine one of my goals....
with this goal in mind, I imagine that it is accomplished...I have done it...I imagine what I see, hear, feel, smell and experience when stepping into the future goal. What is my breathing like when I have accomplished that goal? I become now, my future self. I take all the time you need to fully visualize how I want to be, what I am becoming.

From here, I imagine moving backwards through time, from the future, back to this moment in time...I notice in reverse each of the steps that help me accomplish that goal...and when I am aware of the first thing that I will do upon awakening, that will CONVINCE ME, I know that I will begin these steps rapidly.

With these steps in mind, is there any reason that I shouldn't achieve or accomplish that goal? If so, would that part that is reponsible for the reason be willing to consider accomplishing that goal if its positive intent was met in a positive and healthy way?

Excellent! At this level of the mind, there is one hundred percent agreement in making the changes necessary so that I can accomplish my goals..I take in three deep, cleansing breaths...

Now, I return slowly back into the room..only as slowly NOW as I can accept, use and benefit from the power of my own mind. I am feeling the support below me...seeing the light around me...and hearing the sounds in the room.

I know that negative thoughts, concepts and beliefts will have no control over me at any level of the mind...at this or any level of awakening consciousness..when the changes are locked into place, and I know I can and will accomplish my goals, I will be wide awake..feeling fine and in perfect health...and this is so!
(Porter, P.138-9)

Re: Freedom from Addictions

Did you know that hypnosis is a proven way to free anyone from an addiction?

Scientific studies reveal that the use of hypnosis has been shown to be three times as effective as other methods used to stop smoking, with a sucess rate of about 30 percent. With the use of a combination of one on one therapy and prerecorded audio scripts, a much higher rate, up to 95 percent has been been claimed. (Streeter, 2004).

Hypnotherapist, Wendi Friesen, has been creating life altering audio recordings of scripts that she has written to assist many people finally quit smoking or be healed from countless other addictions. Did you know that even nail biting is an addiction for some people? I've struggled with this one myself.

Wendi explains it all in this short video. It's set in the beautiful state of Hawaii, a place where she visits often and swims often with dolphins and colorful tropical fish.

You will learn by watching this video that you too can be free from any addiction that has plagued or bothered you. Why live in turmoil or bondage to whatever controls you? Take charge now! You deserve it!

Re: Spiritual Cinema Circle films

Free Trial for a Short Time!
Have you ever heard of Spiritual Cinema Circle? Well, it's a film company with a spiritual twist! They offer films with messages about human nature and metaphysical themes that are creative and down to earth...inspiring and contemplative!

You can't get these short films in any video store though. They are only offered through mail order. It works much like Netflix except you get to keep them each month the disc is mailed out. Each DVD contains three to four short films. Usually, a longer one(about an hour) and two to three shorts(under 15 minutes).

These films will challenge your beliefs, make you ponder or try to decipher the messages behind them and always leave you feeling hopeful.

So, if you want a break or change from your typical violent action movie or depressing saga, I'd recommend giving Spiritual Cinema a try and don't worry about returning the DVD. Check out their latest shorts for September on this video here!

LovingMeditation

A Loving Meditation for you:

Deep at the center of my being, there is an infinite well of LOVE. I now allow this love to flow to the surface. It fills my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness, my very being, and radiates out from me in all directions and returns to me multiplied. The more love I use and give, the more I have to give; the supply is endless.

The use of LOVE makes me FEEL GOOD! It is an expression of my inner joy. I love myself; therefore, I provide a comfortable home for myself, one that fills all my needs and is a pleasure to be in. I fill the rooms with the vibration of love so that all who enter, myself included, will feel this love and be nourished by it.

I love myself; therefore, I do work that I truly enjoy doing, one that uses my creative talents and abilities, working with and for people whom I love and who love me, as well as earning a good income.

I love myself; therefore, I behave and think in a loving way to all people, for I know that that which I give out returns to me multiplied. I only attract loving people in my world, for they are a mirror of what I am.

I love myself; therefore, I live totally in the now, experiencing each moment as good, and knowing that my future is BRIGHT, JOYOUS and SECURE.

I am a beloved child of the universe, and the universe lovingly takes care of me now and forever more.

And so IT IS! I LOVE YOU!

*written by Louise Hay(from Heal Your Body)

I stumbled upon this video where Esther Hicks explains the vibrational process(through Abraham) of asking for what we want and how to manifest these desires. This inspirational video asks some important questions regarding our vibrational levels and how to match our thinking to our feelings. She gives simple instructions here on the ways to create the realities in which we really want to live in.

How does one go about achieving vibrational harmony with one's self? FOCUS on FEELING GOOD!! Whatever that may be, she states, find it!! Watching this video will teach you a lot more! You will gain more understading about creating a life that you love! Watching this inspired me, so I wanted to share it with you!

थिएटर ऑफ़ थे मंद

The above title states, Theatre of the Mind. Somehow, it reverted to Arabic and I don't know how to change it, so I'm going to go with it. (: Glad that I got your attention!

I'm excited to tell you about an amazing metaphysical podcast called, Theatre of the Mind, hosted by Kelly Howell. It is available on Itunes.

Kelly is the founder of Brain Synch Technology, which uses sound therapy to awaken various brain waves other than our waking state of Beta. There is the state of Alpha-a relaxed, reflective state. Theta-a drowsy state, where you feel "zoned out" and then Delta-the sleep and dreaming state. It has been said that there are two forms of Delta, the second one going much deeper into a dreamless state or perhaps a state of coma. Getting into these states allows for healing and to create change.

Kelly interviews professionals in the metaphysical field on a variety of topics. Some of the interviews are more interesting than others, of course. However, I rarely find one that is completely boring. Just today I've listened to a few fascinating ones:

*"Interspecies Communication" with Tim Link, an animal communicator
(www.wagging-tales.com).
*"The Science of Spiritual Marketing" with Andrea Adler, a spiritual PR person(www.holisticPR.com)
*"A Symphony in the Brain" discussing bio-feedback with Jim Robbins (http://www.groveatlantic.com/grove/bin/wc.dll?groveproc~genauth~1522)

These are great to listen to while you are working at home or on the computer..eye opening conversations...intriquing discussions. Check it out!

Reincarnation

As a certified hypnotherapist, I've been reading quite a lot about reincarnation as I assist people in exploring past lives as well as traveling into future lives.

A couple of really intriquing books that I'm reading; Past Lives, Future Lives by Dr. Bruce Goldberg and Soul Mates by Richard Webster. I find the case studies and personal stories in these books to be very fascinating. If you are skeptical about whether reincarnation truly exists, check out this excerpt on page five from the book, Soul Mates. Here is a particular insight about what is happening with our soul incarnations currently.

"One of the arguments against reincarnation is that there are more people alive now than at any other time in the history of the planet. The population of the world doubled between the first century C.E. and 1500. It doubled again between then and the nineteenth century, and has since increased four times. Where are all these souls coming from? A likely explanation is that people are being reincarnated more quickly nowadays than ever before. In fact, once you die, the chances are that you will be born again in approximately fifty-two years."

Therefore, it seems that we are being given an increasing amount of time(if you will) to work on our respective karma. The acceleration of our souls is speeding up, events and opportunities are being presented to us more rapidly. Wow!

What are you thoughts on this? I'd love to hear from you!
