Wanting vs. Having: Disabling Hypnotic Language

Wanting vs. Having -- I hear it from almost every client, but hearing it from all these people at once somehow made it a fresh new phenomenon. This is one way I like to look at the problem: 1) Our subconscious mind is always listening, especially to what we say to ourselves over and over.

Q&A RE: Wanting vs. Having: Disabling Hypnotic Language

Several questions and conce s came in regarding my article ‘Wanting vs. Having: Disabling Hypnotic Language.’ Regarding my statement, " 4) When we stop wanting and start acting as if we have it, the subconscious mind notices our interest in having and stops denying access to the experience of the inner quality, in this example, peace," this conce came in: Questioner: Pretending to myself I have something that I don't have sounds like a recipe for confusion and maybe disappointment!

The Religion of Fear: The Most Pervasive and Beguiling Religion in the World

Whoever put together the doctrine of this religion was very astute because people join without even realizing it, support it without even realizing it, spread it without even realizing it. (Of course there are those who do realize they are promoting it, but there are so many unwitting ...

Gentleness And Humility

Gentleness and Humility are important doorways to Peace and to the support of Peace. Gentleness must be conveyed in every area of life to antidote the violence of judgement with others and within. It arises from Humility, a remembrance of the vastness of life’s mysterious context and hidden intelligent power. A colleague shared about going to another hypnotherapist for some help and the hypnotherapist tried to dictate what her problem was and only became more insistent when my friend objected. She had a hostility session, a power struggle session, instead of a therapy session.

It's Never Too Late To Have A Happy Childhood (Using Hypnotherapy And NLP)

"Time heals all wounds." This aphoristic bit of common sense contains very little usable information about the relationship between time, healing, and woundedness – about how time heals. However, we all probably can recall situations where this apparent dynamic seemed to hold true. An old enemy now is a great friend; an old injustice we swear we'll never forget becomes a source of humor and wisdom. But was it just the passage of time that caused these changes to occur?

What Is Hypnosis -- A Transpersonal View?

Hypnosis has been given many definitions over the years, and many authors have debated whether it even exists. These debates and definitions themselves are evidence of what I consider to be the most basic and profound form of hypnosis. My definition identifies the discursive thinking mind (what ...

Dating...Who Hypnotizes Whom?

You can learn to enjoy yourself pursuing relationships if you know the secrets to relating and practice them. Beyond a common sense clean physical presentation (you should know most women like this), the essential secret is to be yourself. When you hear this, do you usually start imaging how you would act and speak if you were being yourself? If so, it is probably very frustrating because imagining acting like yourself is an artificial activity. The first step is to relax into yourself and appreciate yourself. You will notice lots of thoughts, lots of thinking about yourself.

What Does It Mean to “Create Your Own Reality”?

Have you ever wondered what is meant by the statement, “You create your own reality”? Some people feel empowered when they hear this statement. Others think it is ridiculous BS. Those who feel empowered by it sometimes lose their empathy and compassion. They may go around challenging people: “Why do you think you manifested this cancer you have?” making people who buy into that idea feel horrible about themselves. But there is a sane middle ground here. Let’s take a deeper look:

The Holiday Season: Anger, Grief, Gratitude, and Resolutions

December is a complex time of the year for many of us. It is a time of blessings and celebration but for many it is a time of loneliness and sadness fueled by anger or grief. My experience of joy and celebration at this time of year is always colored by the fact that my dear mother passed away at Christmas time. Even though it was over 40 years ago, I can still feel a twinge of sadness. I don’t mind.

About Courage and Respect: “I do not agree with what you have to say…”

“…but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.” Voltaire May Rep. Gabrielle Giffords recover. May the families of the injured and dead in Pima County, Arizona find peace and renewal. May we all resolve to promote non-violence and mutual respect. As a hypnotherapist, I find my contention that language is inherently hypnotic to be confirmed in sad and tragic ways in the news on a daily basis. This most recent tragedy is forcing us to look at the level of violence we have cultivated in our political dialogue and at our growing tendency to demonize those we disagree with.r

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Jack Elias

"The world is its own magic." -- Shunryu Suzuki, Roshi

Nevertheless, this mind does become disturbed

By the defilement of momentary thoughts.

Like water, like gold, like the sky,

It may be either pure or impure.

But the naturally luminous mind

Is free from even a hair-tip of concrete substance,

Like the analogy of a sky flower.

It does not exist as it seems to be,

Therefore, it cannot be established to be nonexistent.

As everything is mutually dependent,

When one side is invalid, the other side also does not exist.

Mind is neither existent nor nonexistent,

Since each of these [constructs] is negated.

It is also not both,

Since existing and not existing are a contradiction.

It is not a living being

Nor other than living beings.

- Songs of Naropa, trans. by Thrangu Rinpoche, Pg. 13
