And when we can recognize the underlying principles, and know how to utilize the differences then we truly understand.

Don and Hugh, Can't put my hands on the sources right now but B.D. Phillips and R. Bandler have exercises using trance states to learn how to emulate others. Bandler suggests watching live or video of a task/performance while in a trance state 5-...

1. I don't believe in the coma state, but what you describe sounds like what people claim is the coma state. Either way, I suppose it's a pretty powerful state. 2. Things that benefit you in your life. If that means the usual hypnotic phenomena (e...

All, One of my goals is to experience as much as I can about hypnosis using self hypnosis and hypnotic mp3s created by myself before I do formal training this summer. I'm viewing hypnotic mp3s created by myself as a type of self hypnosis for this...

Don, Am I right to understand that Hyperempiria also fits this definition also? "Perhaps the concept of trance is not as essential to a definition of hypnosis as an increase in responsiveness to suggestion, regardless of the procedure which is u...

My PhD is in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I published the main parts of my thesis in a peer reviewed journal. At the time it was really important and it opened doors to years of good professional life. Lots of memories.......

In particular, it doesn't mean that they're smarter or better than other people. There's no reason for awe. I use my Ph.D. only at the university. Otherwise I'm just Walt.

Hello, Walt I would like to ask you a question before I go on: 1. Are you a quitter by nature? I would have to say that NO you are not a quitter therefore how can you quit smoking? Listen to your words and allow those words to guide you. I woul...

Walt,
It is my pleasure. There have been so many people that have helped me throughout my life, and if I can ever return the favor to the next person I feel it's my responsibility. In the NLP/Hypnosis world I have a lot of great mentors, friends and acquaintences who have shared their insight which ultimately betters the profession, helps more people, and betters society at large. What a great way to live and make a living!!!

Hello Walt,

I also happily turned to hypnosis as not a second but a third successful (in my judgment) career. No regrets. Very busy full time and satisfying practice in Montreal now for several years.

One training I took was in 5 PATH which I found very helpful. Nothing is the be all and end all. There is happily always something new to learn and discover in this field..However this I found this training to be very helpful at the start of my hypnosis career (I had been involved in hypnosis on a personal level for decades before this).

I happen to personally know of a very good instructor in this approach in your State. I have no idea if she is near where you live of not. You might want to look up Celeste Hackett at familyfirsthypnosis.com.

Hope this is of interest and welcome to the hypnotic world!

Stephen

Hi John, I just watched Ritchie's fast Induction and I come to realize that I am afraid to push the client too hard, in a way that I will ruin the hypnotic trance and maybe even afraid to brake some bones by puling their shoulder, head, neck, arm?...

I've gotten pretty good with going quickly into a trance. The Betty Erickson method or finger drop works great for me but I noticed that my head doesn't drop at all and stays where it is when I sit in a chair. Here's what happens while I am in tra...

I agree with John, use Parts. And, teach her self hypnosis to deal with her distress state. You can assuage some of her distress about the weight gain by explaining that the scale is not always the best measure of weight reduction and that water ...

Personally, I would do parts therapy and find out why she is gaining weight. Then go from there. John
