What is Hypnosis? There are so many opinions and ideas floating around. Is it an exact science? Is there an absolute definition? How does it work? Does it work?
Hypnosis, in the past, has taken a bad rap. For many years it was clothed in mystery, something from the dark ages. Wizards, witches, sorcerers supposedly used it in practices of the occult and black magic. Today, there are those who still have a dark ages mentality and fear hypnosis. They believe that in Hypnosis your mind is being controlled. Is Hypnosis mind control?
Before we address that, let us look at some of the history of hypnosis. We don’t know the its exact beginning; however, I tend to think that when God put Adam into a sort of "sleep", took a rib and made Eve, that was probably the first instance that mankind experienced hypnosis. We’ve heard stories of the sleep temples of ancient Greeks and Egyptians where people were put to sleep and told they would awaken cured and they often were.

What is it anyway? Who nose? Hypnosis is everything and everything is Hypnosis. Our best definition is that it is communication.
Hypnosis in neither mystical or scary. It can be either malevolent or benevolent.
It is simply suggestion. We spend a great deal of time hypnotizing ourselves: “I’m afraid,” I can’t do that”, “I can forget about the unreasonable fear”, “I can do this”. “I’m smart”, “I’m intelligent,” ”I look really good”.
Or hypnotizing others: “You look tired”, “Have you been sick?, Are you feeling alright?”, “You look great!”, “Have you lost weight?” “You look hot!”
Milton Erickson, father of American Medical Hypnosis was once asked, “Are you aware of the way in which you use your words?” He replied: “I certainly am, and I want to emphasize the importance of that awareness in all of you. In any work, you are going to use words to influence the psychological life of an individual today; you are going to use words to influence his organic life today; you are going to also influence his psychological and organic life twenty years from now. So you had better know what you are saying. You had better be willing to reflect upon the words you use, to wonder what their meanings are, and to seek out and understand their many associations.”
So, since we are all hypnotists, let’s use our words and language skills for the best possible outcomes for ourselves and others, especially our children.
By now, most of you are familiar with the age regression that Richard Bandler did with me so many years ago. Despite advancing chronology, I still remain energetic and reasonably healthy to this day. I do ok for a lady pushing 70, I think.
For many years I have been asked about my personal experience and have decided to publish it in a booklet and on CD. Publication date is not yet certain, but hopefully, it will be available sometime in June.
Richard will be speaking on the CD as well. We will be discussing Health and Wellness using Hypnosis, NLP™ and DHE™.
The actual age regression will be available. The Soften tape is often referred to by the trainers, “Barb’s tape.” Of course, it is now available on CD, as are the Soften Too, and Soften More CDs by Richard…all age regressions based on the original.
I transcribed my age regression and listened to it every night before sleep. Along with additional strategies, I believe strongly that this guided me to health and an even more energetic life. I continue to use self hypnosis and the age regression of so long ago. Richard did install a youthener and I keep this good hypnosis going.
I will also include examples of others Richard and I have worked with and the amazing results they have created for themselves.
Milton Erickson, the father of modern hypnosis, has said, “You had better be willing to reflect upon the words you use, to wonder what their meanings are, and to seek out and understand their many associations.”
He was speaking in this instance of the use of language in a clinical context. How many of us consider how we use our words in normal everyday life?
Especially, have you considered observing the effects of your own self-talk? Of course, we all know the futility of using the four-letter word “try” (…and fail). Have you ever considered what it would be like if you could follow yourself for a day, and see on your face the effect of your personal language? Did your words make you smile? Did you choose words that make the difficult tasks easier or the boring tasks exciting?
Your other-than-conscious mind is listening.
Sometimes I'll catch myself or somebody else putting themselves down. “I can't do it,” we'll say, “I’m stupid.” And the OTC is listening to this, and it is willing to oblige. “Stupid? I can do stupid. Stupid's easy. One big helping of stupid, coming right up.”
How much better is it to say: “I haven't figured this thing out, yet, and I'm gonna.” Does that bring a curiosity for some insight on the task that hasn't yet been seen? Observe the effects, and if that change of language doesn't improve your outlook, which next one will?
Even in everyday situations, when talking with somebody who is using less-than-helpful language, you can acknowledge their statement using the more-useful language: “I see that you haven't figured that out yet.”
In the coming days, spend a little bit of time considering your use of language in everyday situations.
In his blog entry, Dilbert creator Scott Adams describes his experiences with Spasmodic Dysphonia, a condition that is usually irreversible. He writes:
When I say my brain remapped, that’s the best description I have. During the worst of my voice problems, I would know in advance that I couldn’t get a word out. It was if I could feel the lack of connection between my brain and my vocal cords. But suddenly, yesterday, I felt the connection again. It wasn’t just being able to speak, it was KNOWING how. The knowing returned.
It's a very interesting description of how he essentially relearned how to talk. The story parallels that of Milton Erickson overcoming polio.
