relearning hypnosis

I've induced 3 trances so far in three different people since starting again. Hitting the books pretty hard. It helps to be the reading and using hypnosis, facilitating the learning, or re-learning process. I learned and practiced hypnosis as a graduate student at UGA. Hypnosis is fairly easy, knowing what to do with an hypnotized subject can extend through a lifetime. I find it quite counter intuitive to any normal thinking, even for a non-linear, divergent thinker. Anything hard to do is good to do. Communicating directly with the unconscious requires a completely different language, one of metaphor and nuance. I believe that the mind is like an iceberg with the conscious mind only being the 10% above the surface. Even then, so much of what one consciously "knows" is subject to misunderstanding, mistake, clouded by desire, fear and misunderstanding. So discounting a good deal of conscious understanding, communicating with the unconscious can become a valuable tool for the entranced. Also, learning can occur at the unconscious level to aid the doubting and resistant conscious mind. Lastly, the lessons learned by and from the unconscious can last a lifetime.

So the art is learning to hear and speak to the unconscious mind with as much care and delicacy as humanly possible.

My latest subject is to return on Monday. I have an extensive diagnostic induction planned and the subsequent trance material will be based on the data from that. I'll pass on the results at some point, protecting the subject's personal information. I'll go into the techniques used rather than specific details of the case.

Back to the books.
