Solar Hypnosis

2009-08-02T13:38:44Z

Hi hyp-gnostics,

It has been ages since I was active in here and hope you've been moving in ever cosmically expansive dimensions! I have recently moved back to my homeland (England) and couldn't be happier about the relocation! Have been longing to come back for years!

A friend of mine, Gregory Sams has asked me to promote his fantastic new book 'Sun of gOd' about solar sentience. I am delighted to represent such a great book. We have just started on the promotion and put up a video on youtube. I'd be grateful if whomsoever can spare 2 minutes (that's its length) will watch it and then....if they like it spend another minute leaving a comment. That would be so great.

See the video here: http://www.sunofgod.net

Here's what's coming to mind with all this delving into solar consciousness.

We have always been hypnotised by the Sun and light is a form of intelligence. We say, we've seen the light or been enlightened and when a consciousness shifts into a clearer, lighter perspective, we feel better.

The sun is possibly the most hypnotic image of all....after this, the moon. What makes it so hypnotic? Everything....from it's spherical form, astonishing brightness and the fact that we can feel it's warmth deep into our skin and bones. It directs all life upon this planet and what directs it/she/he, one may ask?

The Sun loves us unconditionally, by allowing all life to be possible here. All hypnotic symbols would wish to have attributes of the sun, from form, to sheer beauty and power.

Our very heart and soul can be compared to a sun.....

Sun gazing is an ancient mystical tradition. There are ways to do it apparently that don't cause damage to the eyes. Some say it is necessary to receive some rays through ones eyes for ones health.

You can read a bit about this in author of Sun of gOd's blog: sunofgod.net

Thanks!

Bella

A few endorsements:

" Wonderful, clear-headed, thought-provoking material....Gregory Sams' new book, and new way of seeing, will have a part to play in the global change of consciousness that is now, as never before, so desperately needed. "

--Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the Gods, Supernatural, Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind

"As one who had always been convinced that nature is both intelligent and purposeful, I was both excited and moved by this remarkable book."

--Colin Wilson, The Outsider

"Gregory Sams asserts that the Sun is endowed with intelligence and consciousness. In the brilliantly articulated chapters of this remarkable book, he also provides a provocative paradigm for understanding the self-organizing capacities of the entire Universe."

--Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., co-editor, Varieties of Anomalous Experience

Sun of gOd is wise, persuasively reasoned, and thoughtfully written-not light reading, but rich, provocative, and worth savoring, like a fine meal. By the time we finish, Sams has served up a feast --- making great contributions to the global shift in consciousness."

Do anybody knows more about these fallacious studies with evil intent by one of the father of Hypnosis

2008-02-12T05:11:25Z

I bumbed into this clip on youtube about Dr Estrabrooks

This brings a good perspective on the subject of amnesia/amnesty
I know I talked about this subject more in the immortality tribe.
But hey Thisis the hyp-gnosis tribe.

So if nobody knew about this here is little light that is shed.

It is very interesting ....Because it brings light how in many serial killers thru history
have so much synchronicty that interwoove their life until the commit the unbearable and almost unforgivable.

and it brings ounce again huge perspective and shows the very mechanics of either the process behind immortality and hypnotism .
I'm sure We could link directly its affect will be transcribed not only on the soul but also in our bones.
As I always have tought that even tought at the time of death our secrets fly into the metaphysical world but leaves it's trace and secret encoded in our bone thru a modifiaction (our bones being a recording devices and support of our soul) of our DNA.

Peace

Trauma Trance

2008-01-09T02:10:47Z

Since Gary raised the issue of trauma, thought would get the ball rolling on trauma trance. Trauma can be sudden and shocking or accumulatively created. A trauma trance can be something short-lived, or something that lasts months, years or even permanently. The results of trauma depending upon severity has a huge range of symptoms such as, a zombified state, disconnected in certain areas and/or numbed out, hypersensitive in other areas, hallucinations (all kinds), automatic pilot, blind rages, uncontrollable weeping, panic attacks, going through the motions.

If you say something frightening and/or negative to someone who is already in a traumatized state whatever you say becomes embedded in them. It can be harder to reach them with a positive suggestion in such a state however, but worth trying. The film "Persona" by Bergman is one of my favorites for it portrays the relationship between a traumatized woman (played by the beautiful Liiv Ullman) who has stopped speaking and her therapist (played by the also lovely Bibi Andersson). To my recollection, the cause of the trauma that caused Ullman's silence remains a mystery as does she, while the therapist reveals herself more and more, becoming more and more vulnerable in the process of her identification with her patient. The patient/therapist division is broken down. Another interesting subject.....but I digress.

Post traumatic stress disorder can be caused by a singular event, which can be something that happens to one from outside, or an emotional response to being shocked by something comparitively minor (e.g. the garish face of clowns can be traumatic to small children, inciting a fear of clowns for a long-time to come) depending upon for example, ones age, vulnerability at the time and/or whether one had low blood sugar.

What about the victims of war....the trauma of ones family being killed, ones limbs blown off. When it is beyond sadness....no tears can possibly express the degree of pain and suffering? How to rehabilitate the well being of war veterans who have, seen and experienced so much and return but never return....looking at the world and everyone in it with the glazed/damaged look unable to feel excitement or their feelings anymore, so numbed out by trauma trance are they, many reliving time and time again, the memories that so destroyed their sense of sanity.

Animals in zoos and circuses experience trauma trance as well, not only human animals are capable of numbing out to pain, or boredom or tyranny. How many of us have seen the bear or elephant bobbing to and fro in it's lonely concrete display area? Where is there to go, what to do....? Boredom and abscence of socialization with ones own kind is deeply traumatizing.

Identifying trauma trance can be epiphanous or require some help to realize. Working therapeutically on sufferers of trauma trance is a delicate area....requiring careful listening skills and moment to moment attention, not to mention the right approaches in suggestion.

On another note, trauma trance can be something experienced in a culture on a mass level, such as what we have seen occurr with the events of Sept. 11. The constant replaying of the twin towers on tv over and over put the country into a traumatic trance. When you are in this kind of shocked out trance state, it is easier to plant suggestions. The primal survival mechanisms are the most susceptible. So, fight or flight automatic response is the most tappable.

Most big news stories tap into fear and through repetition ad nauseum of the images that frighten or sicken, deposit messages ("the news") into the mass consciousness. If, you are one of those who chooses not to wire yourself to this matrix but obtain your news from various sources, you can escape the trauma trance to a degree, but not entirely, unless you work quite hard at it via meditation or whatever works for you, as the sheer force of being surrounded by the mental climate of trauma creates a substantial trauma vibration to contend with in addition.

Phew! Enough said on this one for now.....

Other thoughts invited.

Sadness trance

2007-12-20T16:05:15Z

Sadness is one of the strongest pullers into trance state...staring off into the blue or into the heart or black hole or whatever. Delvinginto this dimension and finding the teachings as well as resurfacing again is one of the more challenging aspects of life. I have given this subject quite a bit of thought, not to mention energy. Would like to hear of others experience with this.

It is interesting how some dimensions of melancholic trance can be deeply inspiring and stimulate creativity, while other levels of it can bring one to a stand-still, or rather ones kind of immersion in it and response which is dependent on so many variables, such as what kind of wound buttons are triggered or still available to be re-acgtivated. etc.

Hypnotic language and therapeutic suggestion

2007-03-20T04:05:18Z

And so to the long overdue subject of the importance of language, as in words, the choice, patter, spacing, etc. all of which creates a hypnotic language. Silence is part of that language, for it is in the moments of silence that the words have a chance to resonate, even echo within the hearing (not just a matter of the outer ear) of the recipient.

Words are outrageously powerful sound capsules. Wars have erupted over words and by the same token Peace has been brought about via words. They can heal or destroy, delight or depress, inform or disinform, reveal or hide, attack or protect, lose or find, dictate or guide, create dischord or harmony.

In the beginning was the word "ma", but that is another discource for another time. This is a really huge subject I've wanted to broach before, but have quite honestly been too lazy to do so....so here goes, I'll try to get the ball rolling...

So, as far as using language to hypnotise (or hypnotize, depending on how you like to spell it)....it's of course, not just the words, but also the way in which they are spoken that creates the hypnotic state.

Creating a state of expectancy of trance helps tip the mind in that direction, so suggesting to a person that they may, or will be or can wonder about when they will go into trance, already sets the stage for the state to take place for you have the person already imagining what that could or will be like (depending on whether they are familar with this state or not).

Tone of voice is equally important to the choice of words and ought to support the meaning and intention of the words spoken. If ones intention is to be of positive support and/or influence, then of course, every single word must support this intention. A basic rule of thumb, is that it is best not to use any word that could directly re-ignite an unpleasant associative memory. For example, if you are wanting to help someone release stress, then do not use the word stress in your suggestion. Instead suggest, for example, that all unecessary energies or feelings that no longer belong there can be given permission (or allowed) to be released, breathed out on the next exhale. Suggestions such as these still address the stress without calling it by that name which is such a loaded word, that it could re-introduce or compound the stress by it's reminder.

With regard to word usage, it is good to understand the suggestability of the person to whom you are speaking. If to a group, then cover all the bases and use all the modes of suggestion. To those of you who are not familiar with suggestability, what this means is the way your particular subconscious mind is impressioned by messages, both verbal and non-verbal.

Some people like to be given lots of room to figure things out based on their logic and/or experiences and come to their own conclusions, while others are more comfortable with being given as much information in as literal a way as possible. Some people are an even blend of these preferences and filter it all through a more complex system of weighing one position against the other in equal measure with perhaps more emphasis upon how they feel, while others, need to be given the reason why before anything would be accepted. All of these types also have other factors playing into their receptivity, such as whether they are in a stable or unstable place in themselves and on their kinesthetic, visual, auditory or conceptual propensities and ratios.

There is a science to assessing these receptivity factors, known in hypnotherapy as suggestability and it is something that is not static for people's suggestabilty also changes according to what they go through in life. Life changing events can radically alter ones suggestabilty.
One can use clinical approaches to assessing suggestability as well as intuitive. The latter is something that one can have inherantly but which definately develops over time the more one works with people with their suggestability in mind.

But I digress a bit....the point is, that if you are zeroing in on a person, to help them for example, it is important to speak their suggestability language in order for them to receive what you say to the highest degree.

Hypnotic induction is employed in a wonderfully colorful variety of ways by most religious and sacred traditions, without calling it as such. The use of rhythmic verse, intonation, eye fascination or gazing (a central focus point whether outward or inward) repetition, call and response, spinning in circles, chanting, candle gazing, singing monocromatic prayers, group singing, etc. are all excellent trance inducers. Usually, there is a central image of authority to whom the gathered pay respectful attention, the leader, priest, guide, teacher, shaman, etc. or, one could also say.....hypnotist. They are the belief worker....the instrument through which the shape of the ceremony, ritual, practice, etc is formed or sounded against, depending upon the style of the tradition. Some sacred rituals, as in shamanism can be more listening based, rather than oratory in nature.

Back to words. Therapeutically structured phrases are words joined together with the awareness of their meaning clothed in form, born of intention with dexterity in selection. Having a sensibility of euphonically effective words and anomanapias is very helpful too, as comes naturally to a poetically inclined use of language. Much of the most loved poetry and verse exhibits this and is thus very hypnotic and at the same time securing of emotional attention. Shakespeare (AKA Bacon) was a master of this, as were many of the greatest poets, especially of the romantic era and writers, in particular those of children's storybooks, Lewis Carrol being the one who most famously and geniusly perhaps exemplified the art of trancelogic, rhythmic and euphonic verse and storytelling in the most playful yet clever ways. Being a logician with a mathematical mind, words were treated by him aswonderful tools with which to inspire delight and wonderment, all in the most pleasant of trance states.

We can all learn from Mr. Dodgson when speaking to the subconscious mind, which has within it everyone's child self. The child self, responds to rhythm, to play and the ability to imagine. Nursery rhymes are spoken in a sing song way to lull the child into the dream of the story. In the same way, when I am speaking to a client who is in very deep, (in trance that is), this sing song lulling, almost maternal voice often is called forth from me in response to the child-like way that people can reveal and allow to come forward. I'm not speaking of regression, but just of a vulnerable, sweet, gentle being or essence which is quite innocent. I've witnessed it time and again, even in the most seemingly hard personalities. When in deep trance, a softer, more pliable, trusting and yet knowing energy emerges. It's a joy to dialogue with this essence and in so doing, the very best in me is brought forth to nurture and support that beautiful essence. If it is being brave and admitting something that it knows it is holding onto and wants to release it, then the words and tone and listening must be in total congruency of intent to support this need. Echoing back this recognition for the confirmation of the revealer is important.....letting them hear themselves witnessed. This allows for further revelation, if there is more to be had....and the hypnotist's role at this time is of listener and reflecter, or mirror....so words are used in a reflective or mirror-like way to help the speaker to arrive where they need to arrive. At times, it may be necessary to guide a little, it all depends on the consistency of the trance state and what there is in there bubbling about. If in a depth where there is much turbulance, then more guidance is needed, and words are chosen in order to offer a kind of handrail and/or rudder. One does not allow a very negative subconscious voice/belief to indulge itself in a non-productive or destructive way. You gather information by asking questions of it and using the kind of logic appealing to the client's suggestability in order to soothe and bring forth the antidote within the person.

I could go on forever on the subject of the delicacies and nuances of trance dialogue, but it really is so involved and full of special circumstances that it's impossible to generalize.

In eery day life though, we often are not aware of how we are hypnotizing others or they us. It would be good to notice this, to be aware of the things that seduce and convince us. Was it the wording, the way the logic was expressed, the framework of the idea, the tonality, the style, the lack of push or the insistence, the repetition? Hypnotism is not to be confused with brainwashing mind you, a common misconception. The latter is designed for politically manipulative purposes and has not regard for the wishes or will of the recipient, who is in fact a victim. Hypnotism does not assume that role, though, I will grant that there may well be some unethical hypnotists out there who verge on this agenda, however, I would then call them brainwashers rather than hypnotists. Stage hypnotists are another kettle of fish too. They mostly use shock induction, subject for another thread. Hypnotherapists are an entirely different category again.

As the name suggests, hypnotism is being used therapeutically. In essence, this is what sacred music does in it's transcendent way, whether using words or not. It massages ones mind into a receptive state and feeds it with relaxing, positive, beautiful sounds that let the mind create beauty.

And so, in our every day life, we can learn from this modality as well. The musicality of our voices. Are we using our instrument constructively, kindly, gently, mindfully? I'm not suggesting that we all go around speaking in soothing tones all the time with beautific smiles on our faces....part of the joy of life is it's mixture of boisterousness and gentility, waves crashing and tranquil waters.

I do believe however that if one has a consciousness of the power of words, the power of silence too and of our tone and here's the other part, when to speak and when to remain quiet and listen, oh, what a more peaceful world we would live in! Within this logos aware culture, the boisterous aspects would not be destructive but joyous.

To end wounding with words, we must all think more about their meaning and be careful not to assume or condemn. It is so ingrained into us from such an early age to criticise that it requires much discipline at first to curb this impulse.

Some hypnotic language modalities (by the way, speech writers for politicians use some of these), speak in universals rather than specifics, state the obvious in a profound sounding way....for example, "It is, as it is because it is", if you contemplate this thought for more than a minute, it becomes very hypnotic....specifics are hypnotic too, however you have to be sure of them and never assume, assumptions that are incorrect can be harmful and/or take people out of trance. Always be sure that any specifc you suggest, is true or else inquire. Obtain or gather (in your mental bank) "power words" from the person you are speaking to and use them in conversation with them, especially when making suggestions. Power words are words that have a particulaly positive effect, meaning or association for that person. They are incredibly helpful and useful to know and employ....obtaining as many synonyms for them from the mind of your subject is good too. Don't ever assume that a synonym you use is okay. Words have different meanings and associations for everyone.

Just as power words are important, it's good to know the trigger words for negatives, the ideas that bring about a negative spiral or series of associations. You want to stay away from those in speaking therapeutically.

To address an emergency situation immediately, the most helpful words you can say, according to this woman who created something called "Verbal first aid" (great concept!) is "You are alright. The worst is over and help is on it's way" or if I may add an alternative, if the help is already there, "You are alright. Help is here. The worst is over. " Someone wrote in here once about saving a woman's life who had been stung by a bee while on mdma. This person talked her out of panic into a state of calm. The same is true at accident sites or in a crisis. The correctly applied words can act like bandages and healing salves. Even bleeding can be slowed down by giving the suggestions to slow down breathing and explain that this is slowing down the circulation and conserving blood flow.

Suggesting to a person with a pain that the cause of the pain is no longer and so it has permission to leave, can make certain kinds of pain leave. I would not say that this works all of the time, but it works enough of the time to demonstrate that our cellular memory holds onto the memory of a trauma, a pain and forgets to forget it in order to protect an area. If we suggest to that area, to the cellular memory that it is safe to release that memory now, then miraculously the pain or holding pattern can release.

This is one way that hypnotic pain management is suggested verbally. There is also hypnoanaesthesia, but that's a whole other subject.

Bottom line, is we can do so much good with these little sound and thought modules called words. Language was created in a very organic way from the most authentic impulses and then sophisticated from these urges over the millenia or thousands of years, depending on how long you believe humans have been around.

A way to make suggestions very receptive to a person who likes to make up their own mind is to put it into their hands as a puzzle, invitation, question or unfinished thought that they complete. There are other ways too, such as inference, metaphor or story.

So, in this mode, I might for example, suggest that we explore the possiblitiies of pathways that language can create and notice perhaps what windows we can present by how we frame our ideas and suggestions. In this awareness, we can also choose to notice how we receive language and create a kind of positive filter that just like a tea strainer or sieve captures all the fragments we don't want in our drink, we too, can filter what we receive and filter out toxins and just accept the nutrients. This makes sense and could be thought of as perhaps inner ecology, or keeping out mental pollution and respecting our thought climate.

Thoughts, as we all know are multi-faceted things. They do not operate in a vacuum, but are electromagnetic, cellular and vibrational. They are intrinsically connected to our whole system, hence they are like the Queen chess piece for they can move in any direction and have supreme power for they construct beliefs. Thoughts can be verbal or non-verbal, concept or feeling based, however, sooner or later, they get these things called beliefs connected to them and beliefs are communicable via words. So they are created, they can be uncreated. The experiences that contrbuted to their creation can not be erased, (no eternal sunshine of the spotless mind unless you get total amnesia and even then, I wonder if it is all gone) but, the beliefs that were created as a result are not unchangeable. A different perspective is almost always (I try not to "always" or "never" things of this kind for nothing is absolute, even the absolute and nothing for that matter) possible.

Okay, getting into all sorts of webby terrain now....so will trail off now with my favorite quote, possibly of all time (oops, being absolutist!) which reframes the concept of cynic and affirms possiblity in the most delightful way.

Take it away Thomas Huxley:

I am too much of a cynic to deny the possiblity of anything.

(God, I love that quote).

Hypnotised by a feeling in a dream

2007-03-04T09:37:08Z

Sorry, I've been so absent on here for so long hypno-nauts!

Anyway, just a quickie to say that this morning I awoke hypnotised by a dream I wanted to stay in. The perfect companion was with me in this dream. I wish I could remember the details, all I know is that we were in love, wholly and completely and had absolute understanding. This feeling stayed with me and I longed for my dream lover to be with me again. It was quite sad that he was in an etheric or imaginational (or parrallell reality?) realm. That feeling of complete mutual recognition had me in a state for a while, an in love feeling. As the hours went by, it wore off and left me a little deflated, for in this realm I have no such companion at the moment, though I have wonderful friends and am in love with existence. I felt blessed by the dream somehow, as if my psyche was in a good place. It was incredible how perfectly my consciousness supplied exactly what I needed. It also gave me the feeling of affirmation. I can remember the feeling just by thinking of it, but not the story, how he looked or anything that happened. Hmmm....

life vs death: too 'bee' or not to 'bee' - mostly in the mind

2006-10-30T15:11:51Z

i spent the weekend in the mojave desert at a gathering celebrating life under the fullmoon. on sunday morning, a girl in her early 20's was stung by a bee. her throat started to close up on her and she began to panic - she had a history of being allergic to bee stings, and had even taken an epinephrin shot a last time. we had no epinephrin for her in the middle of the mojave desert. when i came to her she was in laid out on the floor our first aide tent with our nurse. she could barely breathe and her pulse was 146 and climbing, we couldn't find her friends either. it was starting to look very bad as we couldn't get her to relax, it began to look like we might loose her. someone volunteered to drive her to a nearby(2hrs drive?) hospital and brought his car around but she refused because she had taken mdma and didn't want to go to a hospital on drugs... as soon as she told me she was on mdma i knew she had a chance.
"you took exstacy? that's wonderful! why don't you ask your throat why it's so tight? what is it holding on too?" i asked her.

she instantly relaxed, she started breathing and her pulse dropped to 72 in less than 30 seconds.(our nurse has this neat little stats device that goes on your finger). a few moments later a wave of fear and panic took her again but this time much less and she already knew that she had won. this time i suggested that she forgive herself.... 5 minutes later she was sitting up and even enjoying her roll again.
a doctor showed up. talked to her gave her some hits from an asma spray and some over the counter allergy meds but she was fine at this point. 30 minutes later she was on the dance floor.

i wonder how many people die because they believe they will, rather than because they are actually in any danger. this young lady really could have died, she was tired, exposed, dehydrated,low blood sugar, tachycardia, on mdma (and who knows if that's all she took) and convinced that she would die from a bee sting if she didn't get a shot.

yet by choosing to communicate with herself she instantly chose to live.

the human vessel never ceases to amaze me.

Astral Travel

2006-08-22T06:15:07Z

What do people think about our actual sleep, when we intend to go to sleep for the night. There are modern Gnostics who practice astral traveling while their body sleeps.

I can draw from second hand experience. My father is from Mexico, and he witnessed his grandfather's actual astral projection (the manifestation of a physical form of his being) standing next to a gate and then disappear from the feet up. My father is a simple man, lived on a farm with many siblings, and was raised Catholic. He also experienced something similar with his father's astral projection as well. He didn't know what to make of it and never really brought it up much.

I believe (as well as so many others) that culture plays a huge role in what we experience. My father's father is not mostly "Mexican", but Indian—from Mayan ancestry we believe. I wonder, did cultures like these have an inherent capacity for such experiences? I wonder about my close relatives who experienced this astral travel and how aware and conscious and deliberate they were in experiencing them? Did they wake up in the morning and brush it off as a dream? Certainly, their religion did not allow them to embrace these experiences.

I think about how some with psychic abilities have it and don't intend (or even know what it is) to be using them when instances occur. I believe this is an agreement made with the universe/God prior to our entering a physical body of what we choose to have (ability as well as physicality.) And Gnostics believe in gaining knowledge through experience—spiritual experience. So in truth, anything can be learned. I guess this is my point.

Go to www.gnosticweb.com to learn more about how to astral travel and other goodies! I am going to be attending a workshop in a couple months. The great part is that they are free!

Could it be that ...?

2006-05-15T08:37:15Z

WARNING...I apologize if this post sounds rude...but don't get me wrong I'm not angry against anyone here...I love you all...I just wan't to stimulate...because I feel that's what I have to do...
So.Sorry If this feels rude !

We are all under the influence of the dark prince...

I've come to the conclusion...(without the fear of it....because it has been predicted long-timeago)

That the whole wide world is being hypnotised by the devil...
Everything escalades in the worsts nightmares that even as a child I would nor could have never imagined...

plus...is'nt weird...that people subscibe to a site like my tribe to post daily there toughts of spirit and neither poeple truly reply to the fullest extent letting us think that their life is busy thinking about other matters...

Like if the devil got us busy with pure insanity...never able to prevail on what really matter...so he has yet gain total power & control over us...our little lives well in hand...ready to be crushed...

people are addicted to gaz...
drugs
violence
and war

nobody exercises their free will...Nobody truly do Jah work...never done ! (Like the Ben Harper song)

and how come nobody writes at least one a topic ounce a week...to push things ...make them advances...the future is now !

to me this is the sign

locally, globally....everybody is in denial that we are all enslaved to the devil incarnating his evil will of wit...

making this place Earth a horror movie like neverbefore...

So today I pray for you all...
Throwing my bottle to the sea filled with immense love

and wish that you all make a difference thru your own heart & souls..

You all seem so preocupied with your own lives and can't seem to see that all of your lives are menaced by danger we have materialized upon our realm !!!

Let's break the spell...put off the hypnotised state in wich we are all...
Show the devil that you have gutz, soul & love of GOD & all of his creation

Stop the Voodoo before it's too late

Could we try ... or else I'll cry !

PS...These days I have the ultimate fantassies...becoming more and more obsessive

: I love burning money...(catch a fire)...specially american dollar bills...because it has a Pyramid on it...

: Consequently I wish to trash & rampage every pyramid on this Earth that were only meant to honnor our escaping (Jim Morisson: THE WASP) or denying of the holy father who lives in our flesh. I know pyramid were somekinda of aming device to bring immortality...but to me it is only a worshiping of the dead...of death...of evil spirit that love to screw our truest genetic Identity...being a belonging of GOD our creator...! We are children of light ! Not Children of the night !

: And I wish that everybody stop buying Gaz...

It would cut the root of the hypnotising claw that the devil has on our poor soul

We can live diffrently...

much better we can

but we first have to admit and stop denying we are slave from the devil...Stop feeding all of his evil deeds !

this site was design with a clear intention to bring people with same beliefs to share their toughts and ideas...

it is time to pounder the real stuff

ans stop hiding in the BUSH (you know what I mean...as a canadian...I could say stop playing that silly HARP)

OK was it just a deam...?

Do we have enough love for each other...(I think we do)

Peace...

Kinds of hypnosis - share your experiences & questions

2006-05-04T21:10:29Z

To get the hypnotic ball rolling....I'd like to ask you, what hypnotic experiences you have had. It can be anything from being hypnotised in a professional hypnotherapist's office, to going into trance from natural beauty, music, love, spiritual ecstacy, dance, heart chakrah opening, kundalini shift, a brilliant film, sexual heights and on the less fun side...boredom, anger, overwhelm, sadness, shock, depression and various traumas.

You're parents or caretakers were your first hypnotists, teachers and other authority figures also hypnotised you, whether for better or worse....you also hypnotise you...by how you think and feel. The social climate around you hynotizes you....

There are positive and negative, constructive and destructive ways of being induced, as well as positive and negative messages that can go into ones hypnotic state...

Hypnotic state is not good or bad in and of itself, it's what caused it and what goes into it that defines it's effect.

The world famous psychic, Edgar Cayce went into deep trance to such a degree that he had what is called hypnoamnesia (something I've seen in several of my hypnotherapy clients) as he was a deep somnambulist. Through this deep state he was able to connect with the "akashic record" or source of all information and his secretary took down all the dictation that chanellled through him while "asleep". He has been nicknamed "the sleeping prophet". His sleep is a state, we are all capable of attaining and indeed clairvoyance and deep wisdoms are receivable through reaching this vast place. In my experience, a certain cleanliness of spirit and mind facillitates this being possible as there is less interference energetically with the process.

Okay...that's enough for now...

So, what are some of your hypnotic experiences, explorations, questions and desires?

Love trance and severance

2006-04-18T17:03:43Z

Love, let's say romantic love is possibly the most binding trance of all. Breaking from teh trance is a painful process if left to ones own chaotic devices. The letting go or shifting out of the trance can be felt even on a physical level, and the heart area is often heavy or can even have an anxious butterfly feeling. Thoughts can be obsessive, memories of the beloved can recurr as pictures over and over, certain moments bubbling up through the filter of yearning, loss and pain. Depending on the dominant emotions, the pictures and/or even words will be filtered accordingly.

When going through seperation pains, it is hard to discipline oneself and do something about it, but if one makes a teeny effort, first to realize that one is in a trance of pain from separating from love trance then that is a first step. Entrancement is just that, being entered. Becoming disenchanted or breaking the trance can be harsh and make one feel broken as much as the acutal love trance made one feel whole.

If one can breathe into the pain and concentrate on the exhalations as release and the inhalations as receiving healing this is a good gentle way to begin the process of severance. Observing all memories non-judgmentally and writing them down as they come is also very helpful.

Keeping note of ones feelings, ones dreams, ones perception helps to map the progress of recovery, or coming back to ones sense of wholeness. If forgiveness towards other or self is needed, this process can be noted. There are many great journaling aids out there, one that I highly reccommend is "The Mental bank" by John Kappas. It's a good thing to do just before bed and is more about re-scripting ones subconscious in a positive way.

Another good journaling system is called "Intensive journaling". This is a whole other ball game. It was created by Ira Progoff and is quite ingenious. It is for those who really want to delve into journaling in a deep way. It's quite thorough as the name suggests.

Doing both of the above would be ideal! Otherwise, just keeping it simple and noting feelings, especially in the morning (to vent out negative ones) and at the end of the day or any time during day when feeling anxious or down and finally writing down ones accomplishments no matter how great or small at the end of the day is a good, healing, transformative habit to foster.

Visualizing your heart in pink light, being gently warmed and caressed is also a very healing technique. Sending blessing thoughts to the one you are severing from and giving thanks for the growth being had and to be had from the experiences of the relationship whether or not they are realised as yet. If damning or resentful thoughts come in, notice them, bless them for making themselves known and kindly breathe and write them out.

Just some suggestions.....

with care,

Bella

7:00 PM
Location: Ridgewood (Queens), New York
1683 George St.
Ridgewood, NY 11385 view map
More Info: 718 497-1270

Since I have had over 20 years of experience as a Master Salesman and Trainer I have been asked to assist those of us who have a Life Mission to serve by forming a number of groups to develop marketing programs based in the "Laws of Attraction" as well as more mundane methods. These groups will meet twice a month here in Ridgewood Queens.

I will limit the membership of each group to 10 participants. The number of groups will be determined by how many express a desire to participate. I will try to structure each group to contain as many different specialties as possible; thereby providing a broad base of cooperation and referrals.

The sessions will be 2-3 hours in length and will focus on finding resources, establishing networks, making and executing a marketing plan for each participant, and supporting each other in operating those plans. The cost will be $37 per session. Marketing materials and resource lists will be provided to each participant. We will focus on the particular marketing plan of one of the individual members (chosen by lottery) each meeting starting with the second session.

Please contact me with inquiries. The first group will meet on January 20 at 7:00pm. A second group will meet on January 21 at 2:00pm.

If you are in the NYC vicinity or can come here twice a month I encourage you to participate. If you have colleagues who are not on tribe.net please share this information with them.

sadness trances

2006-01-07T16:51:23Z

Not long ago I gave a workshop to non-violent ex drug felons. The subject of my workshop was holsitic tools for self esteem and well being. In the process of expounding and sharing and engaging audience perspectives, I found myself talking about different trance states. I could see that various of the members in the group were in trances themselves. When I addressed the subject of trauma trance and sadness trance I could see that I really had the attention of several of them that had otherwise not been "present" so to speak. They were acknowledging in various ways, nods of their heads, tears rolling down cheeds, looking down into their stomaches and/or intense, rivetting eye contact.

After the workshop was over a couple women approached me and said that this subject had been a huge eye opener for them for they had not realised that sadness or trauma induces trance and that trances can be gotten out of and if left unchecked can last years. I had taught them all a few techniques of how to either get out of that trance into a neutral state, or to transform it into forgiveneness or release.

When people are overcome with grief or depression, they often stare seemingly vacuously into space...the "no-one's home" look...this is trance.

I feel that this and other difficult trance states, if understood as such, can be powerful means of change. One can use the trance, by recognising it and then programming different messages or suggestions into via either external (tapes, music) or internal (to be detailed another time, various ways of doing this) means.

I'd like to open this up for discussion and will say more on it again later....

Five Reasons New Year's Resolutions Fail

2006-01-03T07:31:13Z

Five Reasons New Year's Resolutions Fail

by Philip H. Farber

1) They are usually phrased as a negative... without providing any kind of actual choice. For instance - "I resolve to stop smoking," "I resolve to stop drinking," "I resolve to stop eating like a pig." What can you do in place of these habits? Postively framed, these might read: "I resolve to learn how to relax through meditaiton," "I resolve to learn how to have more confidence in social situations," (relaxation and bolstering confidence being possible motivations to smoke or drink) or "I resolve to develop healthy eating habits."

2) They are all goal, no technique - Simply stating a goal, whether positively or negatively phrased, has little effect unless there is some technique to incorporate that suggestion into your behavior. Where's the ritual? Where's the induction? (Possible techniques: hypnosis, self-hypnosis, ritual magick, NLP techniques, etc.)

3) They are all goal, no methodology - Even with a great goal and excellent technique, some methodology has to be devised. HOW are you going to stop smoking? HOW are you going to get fit? What are the steps involved in these changes? (Going "cold turkey"... changing specific habits one at a time, tapering off the sweets, etc.)

4) Lack of real motivation - What is driving this new behavior? Are you doing it to please another person or because you fully believe it will be a positive change in your life?

5) Goal is based on conditioned behavior or whim - Similar to #4, but on broader scale (or rather, a contributing factor to #4). Was this decision to change based on a cultural pressure of some kind? To look like a movie star? Because all your friends are doing it? Because advertising convinced you it was necessary? What's really important to YOU?

cirko06 nye

2005-12-31T02:29:32Z

Hello, my extended family here in the city of Angels and elsewhere. This post could occurr as self-serving, so if you're not down with OPT, (Other peoples therapy) please be warned.

Boy, there's nothing like the holidays to really make you think about what family is. I had the opportunity to spend a month of 14 hour days working with my parents out at our family Christmas tree lot. No days off. Close quarters. That will teach you a few things about yourself. And where you come from. And it will also make you take take stock of where you're at.

And I got to be honest with myself . I have not been living the life that I feel I deserve to. This is due entirely to my own self imposed limitations and self worth issues. After many nights of deep soul searching, I am able to join the ranks of those who are badass enough to be able to acknowledge their own dysfunctions. I won't go into the 11 different after-school specials my life is airing right now, as they are not what's important in this writing.

What is important to me in this moment is the knowledge that while I am newly uncertain about my biological family, I can take comfort that I will always have one here in the LA burner community. Knowing that I am surrounded by people as committed to living outside the societal mores of workaholism and full time suffering gives me hope and courage in these trying days. And the fact that you are all so fabulous in all your unique ways is just gravy.

If this sounds like a cry for help, that's because it's exactly what it is. I see where all this turmoil is ultimately the best thing that could have happened to me, because I really needed my shit shook up. But now that everything in my life, and i do mean EVERYthing is getting jostled, it's a bit confronting. I feel refreshingly upbeat most of the time, but there are still too many lows for my tastes. So what I'm asking for Christmas is some really varsity hugs. So if you're going to be at Cirko-6 and you see me, please come over and give me a squeeze. I think that's what I'd like most this year. Either that or hope. Both would be nice. I'm really feeling the color gold for some reason, so I'll be wearing some Gold Chinese PJ's. That might make me easy to find.

One of the things that gives me hope is that I think I have found the thing that will help me rise up out of my ashes like a, hey what's that firebird called again? Oh yeah, a Phoenix. Funny to think that I could forget about the most beautiful bird in the world to me.

Anyway, to get back on track, I have been delving deeply into neuro-linguistic programming. Which is a fancy name for talking to yourself. I believe that our minds are easily programmed, and the mechanism for doing so is simply stating what you want to occur. I believe all we have to do to create the ways of being we would prefer, is to tell ourselves that we already are. IE I am brave, I am focused, etc etc. I now have empirical reason to believe that it works very well, not only for kinetic activities like spinning, but other activities, like living well, and not pushing away those who just want to love you.

So I am going to give myself a litmus test. I have been dabbling with something called a three sectional staff. For those not raised on Kung-fu films, it is basically a staff separated into three pieces, connected by chains into equal thirds. It is considered to be a very challenging tool, as it is unpredictable and therefore dangerous. Funny, I just realized that the things I find most beautiful usually are a bit of both. Lions, Birds of prey, Horses, Firespinners....

I guess the reason for this post, other than the obvious, is that I think I may be able to give something back this year. I might be able to be what so many of you have been for me, inspiring. So I'd like to share with you what my plan is for this new years eve.

I am fortunate enough to be able to be performing with my DC Juicy Family at Cirko-6. We have a song called "What you blinging to tha' party?" It's obviously about what you bring to wherever you are, is it bling or blah? During this song, my intent is to show you exactly what I feel this new science is capable of. Because I now believe in the power of belief. I'm now starting to be able to really truly believe in myself. And I believe it's time I took a stand.

So I'm going to rock the three sectional staff for a minute during that song. And to really drive the point home, I'm going to attempt to rock two at a time. I've got one day to learn them, today, friday the 30th. It's 6:18pm. I believe I have enough time to figure out enough quality stuff to fill a minute. I believe that by just trusting in myself, and my theory, I can pull it off.

What would make me happiest in this moment is to be able to give somebody else who may be going through these holiday blues a little bit of gold to go along with them. A lot of us seem to be weathering some pretty turbulent stuff these days. I think we may have found a way to make it all a little easier. It most likely just takes a little practice and lot of belief.

So I'm going to go get started on both.

See you at the first 2:30 AM of this beautifully new year.

All love,

RFA.

mutual or similar dreams in same night

2005-11-22T04:23:39Z

About a week ago, my boyfriend and I had almost the same dream the same night. All I remember now is that my mother and I were driving down a freeway and suddenly tall buildings in the distance sprang into fire in the direction of where we were driving. We looked at each other for a moment and both instantly recognised that this was signaling the apocalypse, or end of the world as we knew it. I was driving and did a u turn on the freeway going the other direction. There were no other cars on the freeway going either direction, oddly enough and so I could go as fast as I wished. As I zoomed away from the catastrophes, sky scraper buildings started bursting into flames on our right. We knew that we would have to try to outrun whatever was happening.

I woke up and at that time, so did my boyfriend. "God, I had the weirdest dreams!" he mumbled. "Mine were intense, I said...dreamt buildings going into flames everywhere." "Me too" said my love "it was the apocalypse or something"..."wow" I said, mine too.

It was quite a special feeling as if our psyches and spirits were linked in this mutual concern.

I soon remembered that we had watched on the news (which we rarely watch by the way becuase it is mostly negative brainwashing) the night before, some part of California ablaze. Clearly, in our hypnogogic state, the sight of land afire had enmeshed with all the feelings of "is this the endgame" that natural disasters, war and talk about Mayan calender, bibilical and otherwise predictions et al have alltogether created a sense of deep fin de siecle (albeit the beginning of the siecle) morbity and feeling of apolcalypse.

We had been in a hypnogogic state when we watched the late news and it stands to reason that this combined with the above and collective unconscious of feared impending doom ( or efforts to assuage it) would stimulate such visions.

Media trauma trance is what the Western world is in the grips of alot of the time and quite by design by the news spinners. Keeps them plugged into the station so to speak.

We've not watched the news since that night. But probably will again, from morbid fascination or to torture ourselves I'm sure.

Mostly, however I keep my plug out of that socket.

Dear Colleague,

The infirmities of aging (81 yrs. this month) are slowing me down, and
travel has become more difficult. Hence, I am planning a farewell tour
of a few of my favorite cities. If you are interested in my work, this
will be an opportunity to learn the Inner Secrets of Transforming
Therapy with me.

I have had numerous requests to come to the San Francisco Area as it
has been twenty years since I have given a class there.

My next Master Class will be held in the Corte Madera, CA (10 minutes
from the Bay Bridge) from October 20th through October 23rd at the Corte
Madera Inn.

life going crazy?

2005-08-02T16:18:21Z

My life has been quite literally crazy for the past few months. And so are multitudes of others in my larger circle.

And at this point in my life, I have to owwn up to that FAR too many people have been experiencing FAR too many similiar experinces for it to just be chance. So many friends and even friends i barely know, or haven't met yet, are experiencing incredibly similar hard times. Sometimes an almost perfect mirror image of things in my own life. Relationships are wonky, long time couples are splitting or really having to work to stay together, money issues are cascading forth, unhealthy ways of being are getting pinpointed, usually painfully and usually all at once.
If your life is occuring as mine was, as a darkly comedic tragic farce, then you're probably in the shift!

This is actually apparently a good thing, as it's possible all these issues are getting brought up, cleared out and cleaned up so that new faster, more powerful energy can come in. It may mean you are someone the Universe thinks could play a bigger part in helping this planet heal.

So if this sounds familiar, come on over and share your experience (s). And know that the focus of this tribe is to share info, and support each other, in whatever way that looks like for you. I have a little info, and a lot of theories. Only a few of which are totally crackpot!

The tribe is called "shifting into 05"

Rise and shine ya'll,

Rifion Angel.

clairaudience and hypnogogic state

2005-07-05T03:05:34Z

I've heard alot of other dimensional sounds, voices and vibrations when in hypnogogic state and even when stark raving "normal"! The other night, a whirling entity of high pitched sound literally whirred into my room (2am) and all around my body (I was standing up). It reminded me of a frisbee or boomarang or flying saucer type idea...more so the frisbee. It had about 6 facets to the whirring sound, all of them shrill but with a bubblyness as well. (You think me nuts now do you? Hah! Not!) It span all around me once and then just vanished. It even seemed to have a slight wind around it, but I'm not sure if that was in my imagination, but there was a coolness wherever it passed. It wasn't scarey at all, kind of fun actually, but I couldn't help wondering why it chose to do that and what it was exactly.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Another kind of clairaudience is hearing a voice in my head give me information about someone. A word, phrase or idea will be spoken in my mind and won't leave. I will then impart it to the designated person and sure enough it will have a strong resonance. Will give examples another time. This does not require hypnogogic state but is facillitated by it.

If you are more or less between realms in the first place (like I tend to be more often than not) you don't have to be hypnogogic in order to experience clairaudience or clairvoyance. You are just tuned into the channel so to speak. I am still learning about this and don't have all the answers but do know a few things.

I've been saving these kinds of topics for when we know each other a little and are rolling with discussions.

I'll share some other experiences another time....

peace,

Bella

Physical responses within hypnotic states

2005-05-15T18:30:29Z

While people are in hypnosis, they often make involuntary movements, little twitches and I've even witnessed writhing and movements that indicated sensual arousa. In addition, there have been different colorations of skin....blushing, blotching (when an unexpected memory that is disturbing arises), turning white....eyelids often flutter and tiny little movements in the face occurr as images, emotions and so forth pass through. The most intense thing I ever witnessed was an "entity" like posession...whereby the individual arched suddenly and became very stiff. A strange, commanding voice came out in a barky way as if taking control of the vocal cords...I had to handle the situation very carefully, making note of the "transmission" and working with it, to bring the person back, so to speak.

Recently a client was wriggling and smiling with tears of joy...it's awe inspiring when this takes place.

There have also been occassions when a person's chest lifted and they gasped as if something were just released and sure enough, later it was found that the issue completely left. This physical release has more often than not been as a result of a spiritual experience had within hypnosis involving the person's awareness of a spiritual guide, cosmic initiative, deceased beloved person or perception of divinity or source causing the release.

I always watch my clients very carefully, even down to their feet and hands as everything means something. The physical movements are variously, visceral, emotional, psychological and even spiritual language.

Introductions if you will...

2005-04-27T23:28:55Z

Just rolling out the spiral for those of you who wish to say hello and whatever you wanna say about your self and how you view hypnosis, trance and dimensions of mind and soul.

One thing I know is that having an early connection/fascination with the inner eye (was drawing from diaper age) was instrumental in my development into the dimensional traveler I am now. Not only inner eye, but inner ear....the inner nose has also on occassion perked up. Has anyone ever smelled things from other dimensions? I have...quite strange when that happens, it's like a smell, but not. But I digress...

Let it flow...

Trance...living it everyday...?

2005-04-27T15:34:48Z

Personnally...I've been under a stage of trance since I was born...
My state of mind has always been somewhere inbetween the middle of being buried in the ground (gravity) and resurecting flying with angels (grace)...

I don't know if people are aware how things truly works...

under the superficiality there is a quenchingtrance happening...

I know I will stop noticing it only when I die...

Music keeps me atune to the creator...

I wonder how many centuries will it take before people really understand what is under our flesh that is mystical even when we are buying a stupid cup of cafe in a starbuck cafe...(gee I hate those places...Prefer a little Italian cozy cafe) ?

But truth is that I never ask humanity to be what it looks like our appear to be...I hate violence...Ego...etc

So therefore I live in a TRANCE that enables me to support all of these cruelty...

When I think of someone I meet them on the street...Inevitably...
Even if its NYC...I don't belive in cell phone nor money...

I believe in LOVE and in people (that experience it at a level or an other)

I play in bands where I use telepathy...to achieve nice improvised music that seems to be composed instantly...

All this because I drown myself into the core of the Divine plan...

Only place I know where I can breathe without going insane...

Oh yeah I dug...Dolphins and Whales...
Because they know what the fuck's going on...

Some people here on earth like to play with waves and frenquencies...

Wait until they understand who plays a part in their rude habit of fucking up the vibe here on Earth...

When they'll find out they will disc-over that he is a freaq (y) Mother Fucker...

You should all surrender to GOD before he show up with his legions of freaqster...

I personnally live in a trance...that I call LOVE
You call it Hypnotherapy or Hyp-Gnosis (as you wish, no offense at all)...I like all science
I call myself a musician ! Music is a science too...

LIFE IS REQUIRED TO EXPERIENCE ALL OF THE ABOVE

And to me it is all about putting the bathing suite on (diver's suit) and plunge onself into the master plan...Direct...into the life...

To get a bit of conduction happening...

Thanx...

I love all these subject

Hello Hello

2005-04-23T16:04:54Z

By way of introduction...

I've been exploring hypnosis (and altered states in general) for most of my life. Before I was born, my father worked his way through college as a stage magician and included a hypnosis routine in his act (after college he was a physicist and best known as the inventor of the color scanner and CMYK protocol in 1965). He collected a large library of excellent books on hypnosis published from the 1920s through the '40s. As a child I was strictly warned NOT to read those books... so of course I had read most of them by age of 10 or 11 and was actively recruiting friends to practice with.

I maintained my interest in hypnosis over the years, moving on to Milton Erickson, Dave Elman, and NLP, among other fun stuff. I've been a hypnotherapist and an NLP practitioner for about 20 years now, and a few years back was granted NLP Trainer status.

My particular areas of interest (after working with clients during the day) include exploring the inter-relations of hypnosis and ceremonial magick, using hypnosis to explore various altered states (including entheogenic, dreams, and more), and noticing the ways in which hypnosis can be integrated into daily life.

So... in short... Hi!

A little of my Hypno-history

2005-04-20T04:04:04Z

My path to becoming a full time hypnotist was long and winding....it sort of started as a child on the coast of England where I had a taste for enlisting friends in various rituals that amused us...magic was everywhere and all one needed was an imagination to access it.

Books about hypnosis and consciousness were on my parents book shelves and I remember tripping out on the many books of paintings....I was forever fascinated by what poured forth from the visions within, hence I became an artist...while also being dubbed "the psychic one"...but that's another story!

At 17, in America I met a brilliant acting coach from Poland who was to become my mentor and teacher of hypnotism. He hypnotised us at the end of class after hours of physically and spiritually demanding work. He taught us many, many hypnotism, visualization and projection techniques, also breath work, kundalini, hatha and telepathic techniques...in other words, how to be fully alive! To be awake to existence. This mentorship went on for 7 years, the last two of which I assisted in the teaching of his techniques which ranged from Poland, to Russia, to India, to China.

That might seem ironical to use trance to be more awake...but rather, it's paradoxical.

So, for years hypnotising people in various ways was a pass-time, a casual hobby or thing I did spontaneously to help relieve a relative or friend of a head ache, a creative block, tension. I just liked doing it and the results were always great.

So...one day, I realised that there were hypnotherapists in the world and that I could be one. The moment I even thought this, the decision was made.

Now, this is what I do for a living and what a life within a life it is too! Not a day goes by without my making discoveries and being amazed!

I want to share with you the things I witness and experience. This, of course without giving away patient confidentiality.

I also want to hear about your experiences, questions and insights.

Let it pour...

Synchronicities, sexual and otherwise

2005-04-16T01:52:52Z

I have noticed that synchronicities abound when one is in certain flow. There are all kinds of qualities to synchronicities, the study of which is never-ending. Today, there are three to do with the number 69...yes, that's right. I have both 69 friends on this tribe and, 69 members of cinemaconsciousness and this afternoon, I was in the 69 position...

....teasing, I wasn't really, at least not in physical form, but in a parrallell reality, I think I was for a while! The other one is that a friend dropped by to show me these granite tiles that had been cut and filled with the Piscean symbol which looks just like a 69....you know those two fish, swimming in that shape.

6 is the number of sex, hex, hexagram (the triangles of which as you alchemist, pagan studies people know, is a geometric representation of two bodies unified) and 9 is this mysterious number that constantly referrs back to itself no matter how you multiply or divide it.

Something powerful this way is brewing....

I agree with Reich that sexual energy is in the very atmosphere, it's not simply relegated to biological functions....there's sex in mathematics and geometry....all is form and all form is vibration.

Funny how thinking of these things, often leads back to these basic principals!

To be continued....hopefully with some more sexy math!

greetings =)

2005-04-15T06:58:44Z

Greetings, tribe.

I have long been fascinated by the wonder and potential of hypnosis. I've explored polyrhythm-induced trance through musical/spiritual traditions. Consciousness is definitely the central theme in my pursuits.

I want to help catalyze a medical revolution that empowers people to take charge of their own health. The main thrust of this is the value and efficiency of preventive medicine, with a particular focus on psychosomatic medicine. I believe hypnosis is a key tool in this endeavor.

I have been engaged in several practices that resonate with psychosomatic programming aspects of hypnosis -- including Qigong, meditation, Tantra, music, massage therapy and other forms of healing body/energy work. I am very interested in crafting a proactive and strategic integration of hypnosis into these practices, in order to explore their full potential.

For anyone interested, here is some information about me and my research interests:

I look forward to expanding my consciousness with you.

Blessings,

grounding vs etheric flight

2005-04-13T02:20:09Z

So, I used to think that grounding was just getting mellow. You know, calming the mind, om shanti, etc, etc. Now, I'm not so sure I feel quite the same. To ground the body, or soul, seems(tho still soothing) like it is actually a much higher frequency, due to the opening of the human current circuitry, thus tuning into a higher realm of existence, and greater capacities of energy flow.
The soul is where our body finds itself :)
