Here, can you also additionally fix the color scale? It's definitely not that one in my input/color_scale.csv, if anything it is written in this format:
value,color
-40,#ff6eff
-38,#ff46f8
-37,#f627eb
etc..
But they're definitely not representing the current values exactly. They're less contrast, etc.

Certainly! I can help you fix the color scale in your script so that it correctly reflects the values in your `input/color_scale.csv` file with proper contrast.

**Problem Analysis:**

- The issue seems to be that the color mapping in the plot is not correctly representing the values in your `color_scale.csv` file.
- This might be due to the way the colormap is being created and normalized in the code.

**Possible Causes:**

1. **Normalization Range Mismatch:**

    - In your script, the normalization range (`vmin` and `vmax`) is set based on the minimum and maximum values from the `color_scale.csv` file.
    - If your data (e.g., temperatures) only cover a small portion of that range (e.g., from 5°C to 25°C), but the color scale ranges from -40°C to 50°C, then most of the color map will not be utilized, resulting in less contrast.

2. **Incorrect Color Mapping:**

    - The way the colors are assigned to the temperature values might not be properly aligned, causing the plot to not reflect the colors as intended.

**Solution:**

- Adjust the code to create a colormap that covers only the range of temperature values present in your data, ensuring the color scale correctly reflects the data range and improves contrast.
- Ensure that the normalization (`norm`) is set to the data range, not the full range from the color scale file.

**Code Modifications:**

1. **Compute the Data Range:**

    ```python
    # Compute min and max temperature from data
    min_temp = np.floor(np.nanmin(temperature_with_ecostress))
    max_temp = np.ceil(np.nanmax(temperature_with_ecostress))
    ```

2. **Subset the Color Scale DataFrame:**

    ```python
    # Subset the color scale to include only the values within data range
    color_scale_df = color_scale_df[(color_scale_df['value'] >= min_temp) & (color_scale_df['value'] <= max_temp)]
    color_scale_df = color_scale_df.sort_values('value')
    values = color_scale_df['value'].values
    hex_colors = color_scale_df['color'].values
    ```

3. **Normalize the Values:**

    ```python
    # Normalize the values to 0..1 over the data range
    normalized_values = (values - min_temp) / (max_temp - min_temp)
    ```

4. **Create the Colormap:**

    ```python
    # Create a list of tuples (position, color)
    color_tuples = list(zip(normalized_values, hex_colors))

    # Create a LinearSegmentedColormap
    cmap = mcolors.LinearSegmentedColormap.from_list('custom_cmap', color_tuples)
    ```

5. **Set the Normalization:**

    ```python
    # Set the normalization to the data range
    norm = mcolors.Normalize(vmin=min_temp, vmax=max_temp)
    ```

6. **Update the Colorbar Ticks:**

    ```python
    # Adjust colorbar ticks to match data range
    ticks = np.arange(min_temp, max_temp + 1, 5)  # Adjust the step size as needed
    cbar1.set_ticks(ticks)
    cbar1.set_ticklabels(ticks.astype(int))
    ```

7. **Remove Unnecessary Color Code Adjustments:**

    - Since your colors in the CSV file already start with `#`, you may not need to add `#` to them.

    ```python
    # Comment out or remove this line if not needed
    # hex_colors = [color if color.startswith('#') else f"#{color}" for color in hex_colors]
    ```

**Step-by-Step Implementation:**

Let's integrate these changes into your script.

---

### **Updated Code Section:**

**1. Reading and Processing the Color Scale:**

Place this code where you read and process the color scale, before plotting:

```python
# Read the custom color scale from the CSV file
color_scale_df = pd.read_csv('input/color_scale.csv')

# Compute min and max temperature from data
min_temp = np.floor(np.nanmin(temperature_with_ecostress))
max_temp = np.ceil(np.nanmax(temperature_with_ecostress))

# Subset the color scale to include only the values within data range
color_scale_df = color_scale_df[(color_scale_df['value'] >= min_temp) & (color_scale_df['value'] <= max_temp)]
color_scale_df = color_scale_df.sort_values('value')
values = color_scale_df['value'].values
hex_colors = color_scale_df['color'].values

# Normalize the values to 0..1 over the data range
normalized_values = (values - min_temp) / (max_temp - min_temp)

# Create a list of tuples (position, color)
color_tuples = list(zip(normalized_values, hex_colors))

# Create a LinearSegmentedColormap
cmap = mcolors.LinearSegmentedColormap.from_list('custom_cmap', color_tuples)

# Set the normalization to the data range
norm = mcolors.Normalize(vmin=min_temp, vmax=max_temp)
```

**Explanation:**

- The script reads your `color_scale.csv` file.
- It computes the minimum and maximum temperature values from your `temperature_with_ecostress` data.
- It filters the color scale to include only the values within your data range.
- It normalizes these values over the range `[0, 1]` based on your data range.
- It creates a custom colormap using the filtered and normalized color values.
- It sets the normalization to your data range for plotting.

**2. Plotting with the New Color Scale:**

In your plotting code, when you use `imshow`, ensure you pass the `cmap` and `norm` variables:

```python
# Plotting Temperature Map with ECOSTRESS Adjustments
fig1, ax1 = plt.subplots(figsize=(15, 15))

# Plot the interpolated temperature grid with ECOSTRESS adjustments
img1 = ax1.imshow(temperature_with_ecostress, extent=extent, origin='upper',
                  cmap=cmap, norm=norm, alpha=1)
```

**3. Adjusting Colorbar Ticks:**

After creating the colorbar, adjust the ticks to match your data range:

```python
# Adjust colorbar position and style
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import make_axes_locatable

divider = make_axes_locatable(ax1)
cax = divider.append_axes("right", size="3%", pad=0.1)
cbar1 = fig1.colorbar(img1, cax=cax)

# Adjust colorbar ticks to match data range
ticks = np.arange(min_temp, max_temp + 1, 5)  # Adjust the step size as needed
cbar1.set_ticks(ticks)
cbar1.set_ticklabels(ticks.astype(int))
cbar1.ax.tick_params(labelsize=14)
```

**4. Remove Unnecessary Color Code Adjustments:**

Since your color codes already start with `#`, you don't need to adjust them. Comment out or remove this line:

```python
# Ensure colors start with '#'
# hex_colors = [color if color.startswith('#') else f"#{color}" for color in hex_colors]
```

**Full Implementation Example:**

Here's how the updated code section would look in your script:

```python
# Read the custom color scale from the CSV file
color_scale_df = pd.read_csv('input/color_scale.csv')

# Compute min and max temperature from data
min_temp = np.floor(np.nanmin(temperature_with_ecostress))
max_temp = np.ceil(np.nanmax(temperature_with_ecostress))

# Subset the color scale to include only the values within data range
color_scale_df = color_scale_df[(color_scale_df['value'] >= min_temp) & (color_scale_df['value'] <= max_temp)]
color_scale_df = color_scale_df.sort_values('value')
values = color_scale_df['value'].values
hex_colors = color_scale_df['color'].values

# Normalize the values to 0..1 over the data range
normalized_values = (values - min_temp) / (max_temp - min_temp)

# Create a list of tuples (position, color)
color_tuples = list(zip(normalized_values, hex_colors))

# Create a LinearSegmentedColormap
cmap = mcolors.LinearSegmentedColormap.from_list('custom_cmap', color_tuples)

# Set the normalization to the data range
norm = mcolors.Normalize(vmin=min_temp, vmax=max_temp)

# Plotting Temperature Map with ECOSTRESS Adjustments
fig1, ax1 = plt.subplots(figsize=(15, 15))

# Plot the interpolated temperature grid with ECOSTRESS adjustments
img1 = ax1.imshow(temperature_with_ecostress, extent=extent, origin='upper',
                  cmap=cmap, norm=norm, alpha=1)

# ... (Rest of your plotting code)

# Adjust colorbar position and style
from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1 import make_axes_locatable

divider = make_axes_locatable(ax1)
cax = divider.append_axes("right", size="3%", pad=0.1)
cbar1 = fig1.colorbar(img1, cax=cax)

# Adjust colorbar ticks to match data range
ticks = np.arange(min_temp, max_temp + 1, 5)  # Adjust the step size as needed
cbar1.set_ticks(ticks)
cbar1.set_ticklabels(ticks.astype(int))
cbar1.ax.tick_params(labelsize=14)

# ... (Rest of your plotting code)
```

**Additional Notes:**

- **Handling Missing Values in Color Scale:**

    - Ensure that your `color_scale.csv` file includes all possible temperature values in your data range.
    - If not, you might want to interpolate colors for missing values or extend the range as needed.

- **Adjusting the Colorbar Step Size:**

    - The `np.arange` function in the ticks setting allows you to specify the step size.
    - Adjust `5` to a smaller number (e.g., `2` or `1`) if the temperature range is small.

- **Maintain Contrast:**

    - By aligning the colormap and normalization range with your data range, the colors in your plot should now accurately represent the temperature variations, enhancing the contrast.

**Conclusion:**

These changes should ensure that your color scale accurately reflects the data you're plotting, improving the contrast and making the colors represent the temperature values as intended.

**Example Output:**

With these changes, the temperature map you generate should now have a color gradient that accurately reflects the temperature data, using the colors specified in your `color_scale.csv` file.

Let's say I have an unordered array of Fibonacci sphere points in a 3D space? How can I order them so I can construct a sphere out of triangles using them, by just going 3 at a time?

To construct a sphere from unordered Fibonacci sphere points by grouping them into triangles, you’ll need to follow a systematic approach to order these points appropriately. Here’s a step-by-step method to achieve that:

1. **Understand the Fibonacci Sphere Distribution**: The Fibonacci sphere distributes points across a sphere surface in a pseudo-uniform manner. Each point is represented in spherical coordinates and then converted to Cartesian coordinates.

2. **Convert Points for Easier Processing**: Ensure each point is expressed in Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z) for easier processing.

3. **Initial Sorting**: Start by sorting the points by one coordinate to get a rough order:
   - Sort the points based on the z-coordinate. This sort of ordering will help distinguish the layers of the sphere.
   - Within each small z-layer, sort by the angle in the xy-plane, which you can compute using the arctangent function: `angle = atan2(y, x)`.

4. **Triangulating the Sorted Points**:
   - The task is to connect points in a way that covers the sphere surface. An easy heuristic is to connect each consecutive triplet into triangles, but this requires careful ordering to ensure adjacency.
   - Use a spherical or geographic algorithm, like a Delaunay triangulation, which naturally connects points into triangles efficiently. This algorithm is particularly suitable for triangularizing scattered points on a sphere.

5. **Check and Adjust Connectivity**:
   - After connecting points into triangles, verify the connectivity. Ensure that each triangle's vertices are properly connected without overlaps or holes.
   - Adjust or flip triangles manually or through a checking algorithm if necessary to improve uniformity and accuracy.

6. **Software Tools**:
   - For implementation, consider utilizing computational geometric libraries such as CGAL (Computational Geometry Algorithms Library) for C++, scipy.spatial.Delaunay in Python, or similar tools in other programming environments, which are optimized for tasks like these.

7. **Visualization**:
   - It might help to visualize the connections at several stages using tools like Matplotlib (in Python), gephi, or other 3D plotting software to ensure your sphere construction appears uniform and issues can be resolved visually.

By following these steps, you can effectively order the Fibonacci sphere points to construct a triangulated sphere. Keep in mind that the specific implementation details might vary based on the programming environment or libraries you are using.

Problem 1. How many ways are there to tile a 3 × 3 grid with trominoes? (A tromino
is a domino, but with three square cells.)

To determine the number of ways to tile a 3 × 3 grid using trominoes (each covering three square cells), let's break down the problem systematically.

### Understanding Trominoes
There are two primary types of trominoes:
1. **Straight Tromino:** Covers three cells in a straight line, either horizontally or vertically.
2. **L-shaped Tromino:** Covers three cells in an "L" shape, which can be rotated or reflected into different orientations.

### Total Area and Tromino Count
- The 3 × 3 grid has 9 cells.
- Each tromino covers 3 cells.
- Therefore, exactly 3 trominoes are needed to cover the grid without overlaps.

### Possible Tiling Configurations

1. **All Straight Trominoes:**
   - **Horizontal Orientation:**
     - [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]
   - **Vertical Orientation:**
     - [1, 4, 7], [2, 5, 8], [3, 6, 9]
   - **Total:** 2 tilings

2. **Mix of Straight and L-shaped Trominoes:**
   - **Example 1:**
     - L-shaped: [1, 2, 4]
     - L-shaped: [3, 6, 9]
     - L-shaped: [5, 7, 8]
   - **Example 2:**
     - L-shaped: [3, 2, 6]
     - L-shaped: [1, 4, 5]
     - L-shaped: [7, 8, 9]
   - **Similar configurations** can be created by rotating and reflecting the L-shaped trominoes.
   - **Total:** 6 distinct tilings

### Summing Up the Possibilities
- **All Straight Trominoes:** 2 tilings
- **Mixed L-shaped Trominoes:** 6 tilings
- **Total Tilings:** 2 + 6 = **8**

### Conclusion
There are **8 distinct ways** to tile a 3 × 3 grid using trominoes.

Creating a triangular mesh from an unordered set of Fibonacci sphere points involves organizing the points in a way that defines connectivity between them, allowing you to form triangles that approximate the surface of a sphere. Here's a step-by-step guide to achieve this:

### 1. **Understand the Fibonacci Sphere**

The Fibonacci sphere algorithm distributes points approximately uniformly on the surface of a sphere. Each point is determined by a specific index using the golden angle to ensure even spacing. However, once the points are generated, they might not be ordered in a way that directly translates to a mesh.

### 2. **Convert to Spherical Coordinates**

To effectively order and connect the points, it helps to work in spherical coordinates:

- **Cartesian to Spherical Conversion:**
  For each point \((x, y, z)\), compute the spherical coordinates \((r, \theta, \phi)\):
  - \( r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2} \) (should be approximately constant for all points on the sphere)
  - \( \theta = \arccos\left(\frac{z}{r}\right) \) (polar angle)
  - \( \phi = \arctan2(y, x) \) (azimuthal angle)

### 3. **Sort Points by Latitude and Longitude**

Organize the points into a structured grid-like pattern based on their spherical coordinates:

- **Sort by Latitude (\(\theta\)):**
  - Sort all points primarily by their polar angle \(\theta\) from north to south.
  
- **Sort by Longitude (\(\phi\)) Within Each Latitude Band:**
  - For points that have similar \(\theta\) (i.e., belong to the same latitude band), sort them by their azimuthal angle \(\phi\) from 0 to \(2\pi\).

This sorting groups points into horizontal bands around the sphere, which simplifies the process of connecting them.

### 4. **Group Points into Latitude Bands**

Divide the sorted list into latitude bands. Each band contains points with similar \(\theta\):

- **Determine Band Size:**
  Decide on the number of latitude bands based on the total number of points and the desired resolution.

- **Assign Points to Bands:**
  Group points into these bands, ensuring that each band has an approximately equal number of points.

### 5. **Connect Points to Form Triangles**

Once points are organized into bands, you can systematically connect them to form triangles:

- **Adjacent Bands Connection:**
  - For each pair of adjacent latitude bands, connect each point in the upper band to its corresponding point(s) in the lower band.
  
- **Forming Quads and Splitting into Triangles:**
  - Connect four neighboring points (two from the upper band and two from the lower band) to form a quadrilateral (quad).
  - Split each quad into two triangles, typically by drawing a diagonal across the quad.

- **Handling the Poles:**
  - At the top and bottom of the sphere (the poles), where bands converge to a single point, connect the pole to all points in the nearest latitude band to form triangles.

### 6. **Create a Triangle Index List**

Instead of reordering the points into a single list where every three consecutive points form a triangle (which can lead to connectivity issues), it's more effective to maintain a separate list of triangles:

- **Maintain a Vertex List:**
  - Keep your points in their sorted order based on latitude and longitude.

- **Maintain a Triangle List:**
  - Create a list where each entry contains three indices corresponding to the vertices that form a triangle.
  - For example, `triangles = [(0, 1, 2), (2, 1, 3), ...]`.

This approach ensures that the mesh correctly represents the sphere without the complications that arise from trying to enforce a specific ordering of points in a single list.

### 7. **Implementation Tips**

- **Use Data Structures:**
  - Utilize data structures like adjacency lists or matrices to keep track of neighboring points, which simplifies the triangle formation process.
  
- **Consider Libraries:**
  - Leverage computational geometry libraries (e.g., [Delaunay triangulation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delaunay_triangulation)) adapted for spherical surfaces to automate and optimize mesh generation.

- **Handle Edge Cases:**
  - Pay special attention to points near the poles and ensure that triangles are correctly formed without distortion.

### 8. **Example Workflow in Pseudocode**

```pseudo
points = generate_fibonacci_sphere_points(N)

# Convert to spherical coordinates
spherical_points = []
for point in points:
    r, theta, phi = cartesian_to_spherical(point)
    spherical_points.append((r, theta, phi, point))

# Sort by theta, then by phi
spherical_points.sort(key=lambda x: (x.theta, x.phi))

# Group into latitude bands
bands = group_into_bands(spherical_points)

# Initialize triangle list
triangles = []

# Connect points between adjacent bands
for i in range(len(bands) - 1):
    upper_band = bands[i]
    lower_band = bands[i + 1]
    for j in range(len(upper_band)):
        # Wrap around for longitude
        next_j = (j + 1) % len(upper_band)
        
        # Define indices
        upper_current = upper_band[j].index
        upper_next = upper_band[next_j].index
        lower_current = lower_band[j].index
        lower_next = lower_band[next_j].index
        
        # Create two triangles for each quad
        triangles.append((upper_current, lower_current, upper_next))
        triangles.append((upper_next, lower_current, lower_next))

# Handle the poles separately if needed

# Now 'triangles' contains all the triangle indices
```

### 9. **Visualization and Verification**

After generating the triangle list:

- **Visualize the Mesh:**
  - Use 3D visualization tools (e.g., Blender, MeshLab) to render the mesh and verify its correctness.
  
- **Verify Uniformity:**
  - Ensure that triangles are uniformly distributed and that there are no gaps or overlaps.

### 10. **Final Thoughts**

Creating a mesh from unordered points involves more than just ordering them sequentially. It requires establishing a clear connectivity pattern based on spatial relationships. By organizing the points into latitude and longitude bands and systematically connecting them, you can build a robust and uniform triangular mesh that accurately represents the sphere.

If you're looking for more advanced or optimized methods, consider exploring spherical Delaunay triangulation or other mesh generation algorithms tailored for spherical surfaces.

 Welcome
 Welcome to the " Conversational Hypnosis For Professional Hypnotherapists Certification
 Prograrrt'. I am excited that all of you have chosen to be at this course now, because the
 material I am about to share with you is very powerful. This program has been designed to give
 you a solid foundation in hypnotherapy, and I will share with you all the tools you need to show
 everyone you meet how to improve their lives.
 Some of you may be highly accomplished hypnotists with well-established clinics. Some of you
 may have chosen in the past to dabble in hypnosis as a part time hobby. And some of you may
 have only recently discovered how fascinating hypnosis is. The wonderful thing is that whatever
 background you have come from, you will have the pleasure of watching your hypnotic skills
 continually increase. When you complete this course, you will be a more confident hypnotist,
 with all the knowledge you need to take your career to the next level. ln addition, you may find
 your unconscious mind delightfully surprising you with the immense improvements in your skill
 as a hypnotist that will occur during this training.
 Now, this course is not about blindly memorizing someone else's words. What I'm going to do
 here instead is show you how to understand what's going on in the background, what's going on
 in people's minds, how suggestion works and how to make it work for you. ln addition, I will be
 showing you four therapeutic patterns that give you all the tools you need to handle virtually all
 of the problems people could come to you with.
 ln order to avoid you having to parrot anything, I've designed many exercises that you will
 perform during this program. Everyone will have plenty of opportunities to hypnotise others and
 be hypnotised.
 ln this w?y, it is my hope that you will become an elegant hypnotist. You will have the tools to be
 able to go out into the world of hypnosis, and no matter what you find you will understand it on a
 deep level, and be able to make it work even better for you.
 ln this way, you develop real freedom. You get to develop your own style and you'tl never be
 trapped because you'll always know which direction you can go in, in order to improve yourself.
 As you take your first steps toward mastery of hypnosis, l'd like you to always remember that
 hypnosis is the art of communication. You are communicating with the whole of the human
 being, the whole of the individual. So everything you learn here will be something you'll be able
 to use to enrich your whole life in general.

 What Is Hypnosis?
 The first thing to realise is that hypnosis isn't any magical or mystical state. lt doesn't take any
 special powers to either be a hypnotist or to be hypnotised. ln fact, it is a very natural part of
 being a human being.
 As hypnotists we find it convenient to talk about different levels of consciousness. Most of you
 going through this program are probably familiar with the idea of a conscious mind and an
 unconscious mind, so I will only go over the concepts briefly to ensure that we are all on the
 same page.
 The conscious mind is what we'd like to think of as ourselves. lt is our intellect, it is the choices
 we make everyday, it is the things that we are aware of. The conscious mind has a very digital,
 linear thought process. As a general rule, your conscious mind can only process between 5 and
 9 bits of information at a time, which explains why it can be easy to feel overwhelmed when
 tackling a complex problem.
 However, your unconscious mind has a very different, almost holographic thought process.
 The unconscious mind can handle millions upon millions of pieces of information at the same
 time, and it loves finding complex patterns and connections.
 There are many different models of consciousness out there with varying complexity, and if you
 have a particular belief, by all means feel free to use it. Some people like to split the mind up
 into parts: conscious & unconscious, the part that smokes & the part that wants to give up, etc.
 Ultimately, I believe it is all still just YOU. We use such terms as conscious/unconscious as a
 convenient handle to do our work. But at the end of the day, I don't want a fragmented mind; I
 look to integrate everything so just one person leaves your office!
 Throughout life, people drop into trance several times a day, whether they are pulled into a
 riveting novel, become enthralled while watching a movie, etc. You have likely had an
 experience when you are driving somewhere familiar in your car, and as you begin parking at
 your destination, you realise that you don't recall driving the last five miles. Your unconscious
 handled the driving while you were thinking about something else. All these are examples of
 different forms of trance.

The ABS Formula For Hypnosis
 Now let's unpack what happens in hypnosis.
 I want to present to you a very powerful formula, a three-step model that will give you the keys.
 ln fact, it is one of the master keys for understanding any hypnotic process. These are the
 things that have to happen in any hypnotic process in order for you to make sure that you
 actually have some sort of hypnosis and you are working with the unconscious mind.
 The three steps are encapsulated in the acronym ABS.
 1. A - Attention
 Absorb ones attention; focus their attention. You need to pull it and draw it into
 the hypnotic.
 2 B - Bvpasil::l;: ff:"#:ff:;:ff:1;J, ff il:::i'*.,n
 Bypass habitual patterns to allow new patterns to be installed
 3. S - Stimulate the unconscious mind
 Recruit unconscious mind to perform actual changework

Common Fears & Misconception
 Hypnosis is NOT Sleep
 When someone is in hypnosis, their mind does not disappear, and they do not typically feel like
 they are asleep. lt is important to make people aware of this, because they may think that since
 they are totally aware of everything, that they must not be in hypnosis, and they will pop
 themselves out of trance.
 You will not be asleep. You will hear everything I say. ln fact, in many respects you will be
 more aware in hypnosis than you've ever been before in your life. You might be aware of
 things like the ticking of the clock in the background, or the sounds of the street on the
 outside.
 You Will NOT Forget (Everything)
 One of the earliest experiments in hypnosis discovered that when people came out of trance,
 they were spontaneously forgetting the events that occurred inside.
 Now you've got to remember a couple of things.
 First of all these were different times. ln other words, the kind of hypnotic trances that we're
 doing and the induction process that we're using are different now. An "old school trance" would
 typically take many hours just for the induction.
 The hypnotist would wave his hands over the subject's body monotonously - sometimes for
 hours. lf nothing else, they could be inducing trance out of sheer boredom!
 So in modern hypnosis (and a lot of the trances that we use, particularly for therapy or stage
 hypnosis) most people know exactly what's going on almost all of the time. lt's just they're not
 bothered by it. They kind of enjoy drifting with the experience. They are in a free-flowing state of
 mind, where it's easy to go along with the suggestions.
 You will remember everything that's happened at the end of fhe session. Occasionalty t
 may suggest that you forget a few things. This is just so that your unconscious mind has
 the freedom to deal with those things outside of your awareness, without any inbrterence.
 But it's a rare occasion when that sort of thing happens.
 You Will NOT Lose Control
 The hypnotist's role is to guide someone through the experience. The subjects role is to listen to
 suggestions and realize that any suggestions that are negative or in some way are contrary to
 their moral code, their moral values, will be rejected.
 ln fact, if a hypnotist ever tried to get their subject to do something immoral, what's more likely to
 happen is that the subject comes out of trance and gives the hypnotist a stern talking to!
 Your unconscious mind is there to protect you, to look after you. Why would it make you
 break your moral code? ln the same way you wonT tell me anything that you don't want to
 be telling me.
 @ 2008 (Under License) Streethypnosis Publishing, All Rights Reserved
You Will NOT Reveal Your Darkest Secrets
 Everyone has skeletons in the closet. Everyone has things in their past that they don't want to
 talk about or might be a little bit ashamed of.
 For the most part, the irony is that these things that we don't want to talk about or tell people
 about, are things that are so minor that if they came out people would go, " That's what you were
 worried about? That's not a big deal."
 The point is, though, some people are afraid that these secrets, as they were, may come out,
 and that someone else will know their big secret.
 Again, this is not the case and you'll need to reassure people that their secrets will remain their
 secrets.
 ln this w€ly, their attention is free to follow your suggestions, rather than being eaten up inside
 hoping and wondering and being afraid that you might discover something that you really don't
 even care about that much.
 Your secrets will remain your secrets. After all, your unconscious mind is there to took
 after You, not to look after me So why would it reveal secrets that you don't want other
 people to know if it's looking after you?
 You Are NOT Gullible or Stupid
 Some people think that in order to be suggestible you've got to be gullible.
 There is a big difference between gullibility and suggestibility.
 People who are gullible aren't necessarily great hypnotic subjects.
 One of the reasons for this is that if they're going to believe everything anyone tells them
 anyway, then the minute someone comes in and tells them a contrary suggestion to the ones
 that you've made in hypnosis, they'll go down the wrong path again.
 So their mind is filled with conflicting suggestions.
 lntelligence, on the other hand, requires the ability to try out new ideas and ways of being so
 you can choose the best one - something that hypnotic suggestion is designed to facilitate. So
 intelligent people are already used to using "hypnotic realities" to gel better results! Of course,
 their defence mechanisms are still there to shield them from negative suggestions!
 There is evidence to suggest that there is a corretation between intettigence levels and
 suggestibility. ln other words, the smarter you are, the more suggestibte you tend to be.
 Part of what defines intelligence, although it's a tricky thing to define, is your abitity to have
 many different experiences and understand them and immerse yourself in them. That's
 what suggestions are designed to do, to give you a different set of experiences. The other
 thing about intelligence is it allows you to put on hotd one modet of the world, one way of
 thinking, and try on different models until you find the best one for your needs. That's how
 people evolve or grow; become more intelligent or find better solutions to things.

You Will NOT Get Stuck in Hypnosis
 They will always wake up out of hypnosis.
 Occasionally, and very occasionally, when you try and end the trance session someone won't
 respond. They will choose to stay in hypnosis because it's very pleasant.
 Now that is a very different thing.
 This is them choosing to remain in a very pleasant state. Have a look at the Troubleshooting
 section for how to deal with this.
 You will always wake up from hypnosis. The very worst thing that could ever happen,
 even if I died on the spot in the middle of our hypnosis session, is that you'd just drift off
 into a wondertul sleep. You'd wake up half an hour or an hour later, feeling refreshed and
 wondering how you got there. And that is it.

Hypnosr.s - Soph isticated Or Complex?
 When people decide to learn something new, many times the first look at the surface reveals
 what seems to be a very complex thing, something that is daunting to think about, much less
 master. When you first see some of the techniques that you are learning during this training, you
 may have initially felt overwhelmed, but I am going to tell you the secret that will help you
 whenever you desire to learn something new.
 The reason things may look complex at first is because you are concentrating on the forest, and
 miss the individual trees. lnstead of feeling overwhelmed by the huge complex forest of ideas,
 you can focus on mastering one idea at a time. You will find that something that used to seem
 too complex, can easily be broken down into simple individual steps. After easily mastering
 each step in turn, you are able to put several simple steps into a sophisticated group. These
 groups, seem sophisticated and complex to others - but to you they will now be a collection of
 simple steps.

How To Become A Great Hypnotist
 As you are building you hypnotic skills, keep in mind the difference between complexity and
 sophistication. lf you ever start to feel confused, take a step back, and build up from a strong
 foundation. As you master each step, you can discover how much easier the next step is.
 Fake lt 'Till You Make lt
 One of the fastest ways of mastering hypnosis is to simply fake it till you makeitlNow, the
 reason for doing this is because it actually takes away a lot of pressure from you to perform in a
 particular way. This is important because it allows you to easily master each step in turn (again,
 complexity vs. sophistication). I'll go over the specific steps later, but the important thing to keep
 in mind is that as you are performing hypnosis, you can choose to focus on a single step at a
 time, allowing your unconscious to fill in the gaps.
 It is important to let go of any preconceptions of what hypnosis should be or how you should feel
 or not feel as a hypnotist. Every person experiences hypnosis in their own way, and if you try to
 force people to conform to your expectations, you might occasionally have difficulty getting
 trance responses from some people. On the other hand, if you are open to whatever comes
 along, you allow yourself to continually grow as a hypnotist, and give people beautiful
 experiences. ln addition, how you feel as a hypnotist may change as your abilities grow, so it is
 important to allow your feelings to shift and grow with your skill level.
 Gorrect Practice Equals Mastery
 GP=M
 lf you want to learn how to ride a motorcycle, you could spend a lot of time perfecting how to
 use a bicycle, which will certainly help to some extent, but just because you are an expert
 bicycle rider doesn't necessarily mean that you can expect to hop onto a Harley Davidson and
 be able to drive otf into the sunset safely. A motorcycle is much heavier than a bicycle, there are
 lots of extra controls, and everything behaves differently at high speed.
 ln the same way, we all know how to say words, form sentences and communicate ideas. This
 course gives you the other tools and experiences you will need to quickly and easily build up
 your hypnotic skills so that you can safely and competently roar off into the sunset.
 Pygmalion Effect
 The Pygmalion effect refers to the fact that you typically get what you expect. Robert Rosenthal
 and Lenore Jacobsen performed a scientific study where they found that students performed as
 well, or as poorly as their teachers expected them to perform.
 People conform to your expectations. So, if you expect that someone will be difficult to
 hypnotise, they will. Even better, if you expect someone to be easily hypnotised, they will be
 easily hypnotised.
 As you increase your hypnotic skills, you can expect someone to be in hypnosis, and they will
 become hypnotised, and you didn't even need to do anything, consciously.

The Most Important Hypnotic Principles
 Hypnosis With Positive lntentions
 H+
 Whenever you are interacting with people hypnotically, you should have "H+" foremost in your
 mind. You are intending to induce a Hypnotic trance (H) coupled with an intention to do
 something positive for that person (+).
 This communicates to everyone else on a non-verbal level that great things are about to
 happen, and that you can be trusted.
 When people come to you for help, they come in with a kind of "H-" attitude; they have managed
 to hypnotise themselves into believing their story of doom & gloom so strongly, that they
 unconsciously project their feelings onto others. lf you are not careful, you can easily find
 yourself hypnotised into believing that they have a horrible problem that there is no solution to!
 The trick is to have a stronger H+ than their H-, to see the solution stronger than they see their
 problem.
 Go First
 What do I mean by 'going first'?
 Well, everLthought that you have affects you physically and emotionally. And those, in turn, witl
 affect the way you behave, and the way you speak and say things - the way you perform things.
 So, if you try to tell someone that you like them, it's very difficult to do that if in your mind you
 hold conflicting thoughts and ideas - the lie leaks out of you in subtle little signals.
 ln order to be able to put the right meaning behind those words, you have to be able to get into
 the state of mind first, which will allow you to deliver it completely congruently.
 Where Attention Goes, Energy Flows
 A=E
 Now, when I say energy, it is not necessarily a mystical force or Jedi mind powers. lt is simply
 psychological energy, some emotional content, or the motivation that drives behaviours.
 lf I say "don't think about a black cat', you may find it difficult to not think about a black cat.
 However, if I say "donT think about a black cat curling around your leg, purring in detight as she
 licks the back of your hand with her rough tongud', you will find it even more difficult to not think
 about a black cat, because more details demand more attention which draws in more
 psychological energy to the thing you were not meant to be thinking about in the first place!

 13
Law of Compounding Effect
 The simple suggestion below has more power than initially meets the eye:
 You are a non-smoker AND you are happy
 Now when you suggest that they are happy, it actually reinforces the non-smoker part as well.
 So the unconscious thinks: "l am a happy non-smoker".
 lf you then add:
 You are a great person
 It reinforces BOTH the fact that they are a non-smoker AND that they are happy AND that they
 are a great person!
 As a general rule of thumb, any suggestion you give will reinforce all the preceding suggestions
 that you have given during the current state of hypnosis. The more suggestions you give, the
 more layers of reinforcement get added, and the stronger all of your suggestions become. There
 are exceptions to this rule, but they are rare.
 Presence
 Now is the moment of power.
 Attention is the basic unit of human interaction, and having a strong presence prevents
 distracting ideas from diluting or interfering with what you are doing.
 ln general, the more attention someone has on something, the less the critical factor can
 interfere with the idea, because all the energy is required on the attention itself. So, the more
 attention you have from the other person, the easier time you will have getting results.
 Now, technically speaking, all that you require is their attention. However, people tend to be very
 reciprocal, so if you are distracted, they will be distracted too. lf on the other hand, you are
 totally present, totally focused on them, it sucks their attention into that "Now"-ness as well, it
 arrests their attention at that point, and that is what you want to do.
 Trance is an attention stimulating state. Your attention gets increased, your ability to focus
 increases, your presence increases. As a hypnotist in a hypnotiser's trance you are letting sub
communication go out that encourage your subject to go into trance too.
 As a bonus, your fears and concerns go away, because they require a critical factor to interfere.
 At the same time, you feel good, and you are modelling they way the other person should be as
 well. You are modelling them getting past their fears and concerns, and into this state which is
 pure attention: "What's happening nert?"

Fractionation
 Every time someone goes into hypnosis, they are learning to go into hypnosis. lt's easier for
 them to access the trance deeper than before.
 Now, every time you put your client into hypnosis and bring them out, the next time they will go
 deeper. This means that when your clients come back for a follow-up session, they will have an
 even more profound experience than the previous time. ln addition, you can put them through
 several cycles of hypnosis within the same session to access a very deep state of hypnosis.
 The 3Rs
 When you practice hypnotherapy, you want to follow the 3Rs:
 Resource
 When someone comes to you with a problem, it only means they have forgotten where the right
 resource is which will help them solve the problem. When you find the resources they need and
 attach them to the problem, the problem vanishes. Approximately 85% of the time, this process
 will make the problem easily dissolve and go away.
 Regress
 lf they get stuck in a loop where a problem just isn't budging, you use the problem to bring them
 back into a regression where you help them resolve the root of the problem. The combined
 resource and regress patterns handle 95/" of the cases that people will come to you with.
 Reintegrate
 Reintegration is the final step in the chain. You rarely need to take it. lts only appropriate if the
 other two approaches have worked for a while, but then inexplicably they fail. lt solves the
 problem where the positive change gets made, but 2 weeks or 2 months down the line they
 come back with the same problem . Something made it come back - that something is called a
 Secondary Gain. The Reintegration Technique takes care of that!
 Resource, Regress, and Reintegrate, in that order.
 These are the only manoeuvres you need to know. You'll learn methods to do these things, and
 then you can let go of the methods, and do anything that does each of these things, following
 this pattern to create lasting positive change in everyone you work with.

The Fundamentals Of Hypnosis
 The 10 Second Hypnotist
 Remember the basics: H+ and friendly eye contact.
 1. Close your eyes and go into a trance
 2. Every time I touch your shoulder, you'll go deeper.
 3. [Suggestions: eg self esteem]
 4. Count out, feeling relaxed, refreshed, etc.
 Here is an example of the 10 second hypnotist. Notice that when you see "[TAP]", you are to tap
 their shoulder; you don't need to say "[TAP]".
 1. Close your eyes and go into a trance.
 2. Now, every time you feel me touch your shoulder like this [TAP], you are going to go
 deeper [TAP], and deeper [TAP], and deeper ITAPI into hypnosis.
 3. Now, you are a wonderful, caring person, at the same time you are an amazing
 hypnotist, and you are so pleased to notice how easily you are constantly enhancing
 your hypnosis skills.
 4. Now, I in a moment, I am going to count from one to three, and at the count of three
 you will open your eyes feeling relaxed, refreshed and simply fantastic! One, two, and
 three, open your eyes now feeling relaxed, refreshed, and simply fantastic! You did a
 great job; it is a privilege to have worked with you.
 5 Words of Power
 . 
. 
. 
. 
. 
Every Time
 Because
 Means
 When
 And
 These are examples of words of power. lt is not just the words that matter, these are ways of
 building experiences, linguistic bridges between ideas.
 5 touches
 1. Head tap
 2. Head rotation
 3. Shoulder tap
 4. Arm tap
 5. Hand tap
 The five touches are used to emphasize positive resources, and to create triggers for those
 positive resources. lt is important to ask permission to touch before inducing a trance, it is part
 of the "hypnotic contract". ln general, it is a good idea to avoid touching knee and/or leg
 because many people consider it too personal.

16
Hypnotic Themes
 Now, the words of power by themselves aren't really very useful unless you are trying to achieve
 something with it. The something we are trying to achieve is what I call a trance theme, or
 hypnotic theme.
 A hypnotic theme is the thing you talk about as a form of suggestlon, and then you use your
 linguistic bridges peppered in with the hypnotic trance themes in order to get someone to
 experience whatever it is you want to have for them.
 The core hypnotic themes are:
 . 
. 
. 
Relax
 Comfort
 Focus
 A few more examples outside of the core themes: safety, security, ease, automatic,
 unconscious, and peace. For more words than these, you can look in a thesaurus for additional
 related words, and you will find that there are lots of related hypnotic themes that you can come
 up with.
 Here is an example of putting together the 5 words of power with the core hypnotic themes:
 Every time you breath, your body can feel more comfortable because you have fett
 comfortable before, which means that it rs so easy for you to focus on my words when
 you know that relaxation and comfort are pleasan! experiences.

 Self Esteem
 Good Work
 You should get in the habit of putting all the elements of BPl right after putting someone into
 trance, and putting all the elements of BP2 just before bringing someone out of trance.
 Sounds Around You
 Wherever you perform hypnosis, there is a good chance that sounds will occur. Whether it is the
 ticking of a clock, the hum of an air conditioner, a door opening and closing, people talking, a
 fire engine siren passing by, you can use any sound that occurs to your benefit when you
 suggest that any sound they hear will simply bring them deeper into hypnosis.
 My Voice...
 When people go into trance, they may go off on their own journey without you. To keep control
 of the experience, you should begin with a suggestion that your voice will follow them, that
 wherever they go, they will always hear your voice while they are in trance.
 Sanctuarv
It is important that people feel safe, and that they can trust you. Again, you can use physical
 sensations to anchor a feeling of safety. lf they are sitting in a chair, simply giving them a
 suggestion that they feel safe as they feel the chair beneath them really enhances their sense of
 trust. ln addition, this physical anchor is very important for safely bringing them back to reality if
 they have an abreaction, which you will learn about later.
 The sanctuary is also an important place for people to experience, a place in their mind where
 they feel safety and security. ln this way, they know that whatever happens, they have a place
 they can return to whenever they need. This allows them to move from a place of safety, so they
 can confidently explore their hypnotic experience. lf they start out in a state of fear, they may
 hesitate to follow your instructions, and they may give themselves unproductive experiences,
 blocking real change.
 Self Esteem
 The world would be a better place if everyone felt better about themselves, so go ahead and
 give everyone you hypnotise the gift of self esteem. Not only are you helping them, you are
 making the world a better place, one person at a time.
 Post Hypnotic Praise
 Many people may have doubts about if they were really in hypnosis. Telling them how good they
 did reinforces that what they experienced was hypnosis, and that alone increases the
 effectiveness of you r suggestions.

BPl Example
 The sounds around you allow you to go deeper into hypnosis while you continue to focus on my
 voice, and the meaning behind my words. Now feel the chair beneath you, which means that
 you can feel safe and secure. Everytime you feel that chair, you KNOW that you are safe!
 BP2 Example
 Now, the nert ilme you choose to go into hypnosis, you will be pleased to find yourself going
 into hypnosis faster easier than ever before, and really experience hypnosis on a much deeper
 level than you previously thought possible. And you are a wonderful person. You are so
 amazingly intelligent and such a joy to be around! Now, I want you to know that you have done
 such a great job today, you have made many wondertul improvements in your life.

The Hypnotic Blitz
 1. Close your eyes and go into a trance
 2. Every time I touch your shoulder, you'll go deeper.
 3. Full hypnotic blitz around self esteem
 4. Count out, feeling relaxed, refreshed, etc.
 A hypnotic benediction is a gift that you can easily give to anyone you talk to. lt can be done
 overtly or covertly.
 Many of us have had the experience of having a bad day, and then a good friend comes along
 and somehow cheers us up (gives a hypnotic benediction). On the other side of the coin,
 doctors have a way of accidentally hypnotising their patients. lf they should tell a patient they
 have one month to live - this can work as a negative suggestion, a hypnotic curse.
 People often create a hypnotic context without realizing it, and inadvertently give powerful
 suggestions. lt is good to keep this in mind so that you can be more aware of what you say,
 even when you are not consciously using hypnosis, and it allows you to be aware of the effects
 of other people's words on you.
 When you perform a hypnotic blitz, it may be done covertly, which means you don't perform a
 full induction. To make this work, it is important to create a strong hypnotic context. First of all,
 go first: put yourself into an outwardly focused trance, create inside yourself a high level of
 emotional intensity, and speak with enthusiasm. ln addition, when you lock eye contact with
 them, it puts pressure on them to go into trance.
 When you list out the desired results and identify the resources that help to achieve those
 results, you simply combine these with power words and hypnotic themes.
 Blackjack Rule
 To maximize effectiveness, include 15-21 repetitions of each resource and each desired result.
 This takes advantage of the Law Of Compounding Effect - which means the more you use a
 suggestion, the better it will work!

How To Create Any Hypnosrs Script On The Fly
 Using a hypnotic blitz with the 5 words of power, trance themes, resources and desired results,
 you can create any hypnosis script anytime you need to.
 To get a particular person's resources and results, simply ask questions like:
 . 
. 
Resources: When you overcome this problem, how will you feel?
 Resulls: When you experience this problem, how would you like to feel?
 Example:
 Here is an example for someone wants to improve their test taking ability
 Resources: memory, relaxation, confidence, learn quick, make sense
 Results: better grades, less effort, easier, enjoy, more time, more money
 Just pretend for the moment that you are an expert test taker, isnT it wondertul b be so
 confident in your test taking abilities, because you are able to remember all the important
 information you need with ease. Notice how you are getting better grades simply because you
 can easily make sense of all the information you are absorbing, and it's a good thing you are
 confident, because you now have so much more time on your hands to do the things you reatty
 enioy, and you enjoy confidently taking fesfs, don't you? You may notice that your grades keep
 going higher as you find that it takes /ess effort to study, because you really do understand all
 the information you are learning, and it reallyis so enjoyable take tests, now that things just
 make sense to you, isnT it amazing how much easier it is for yorJ now, etc...

Troubleshooting
 Abreactions
 An abreaction is a strong release of negative emotions. lt can seem quite wild when you come
 across them - although you should know that spontaneous abreactions are quite rare. lf the
 abreaction is related to the therapy you are doing, GREAT, run through the regression protocol
 and you get to quickly clear up some very traumatic material.
 lf the abreaction is not appropriate, you need to put a lid on it safely without adding fuel to the
 fire. Here's how to do that:
 1. STAY CALM
 o When you stay calm, they can feel safe
 2. DO NOT TOUCH
 o A touch, like a hug, can create a physical trigger, which means that should
 someone hug them the same way again later, it could trigger the abreaction all
 over again!
 3. END NOW
 o Essence: Experience fades, come to present
 Example: Scene fades, feel the chair, you are safe
 o Sanctuary:
 Example: Feel the chair, and know you are safe!
 o Repeat until the abreaction has faded
 o Allow for amnesia:
 Example: And you only need to remember the things that are safe and important
 to remember
 4. EMERGE
 o Distract them, talk about something else, have them stand up, maybe offer them
 food and drink, and do not bring up the subject.
 o lf they don't remember, their unconscious mind is protecting them from
 something they are not ready to deal with yet, so they probably won't remember
 what happened.
 o lf they ask what happened, simply state that they had an intense reaction,
 nothing unusual, and that you can help them clear it when they are ready.
 lf you get an abreaction that is related to the work they came in for, perfect, proceed straight
 into the regression, when you handle the cause of the abreaction, you will very likely handle the
 problem they came in with.
 lf you get an abreaction that is not related to the work they came in for, it comes down to
 ethics and trust. When someone comes to a hypnotherapist, they are putting tremendous trust
 in that person. lf that trust is broken, it can seriously undermine even their trust in themselves.

 What lf They Don't Come Out?
 Now, it doesn't happen very often, but there is a possibility that someone may not come out of
 hypnosis when you count them out or when you say, "Hypnosis is over now.'
 Again, this is a pretty rare occurrence and it isn't that somehow you failed and something terribly
 bad has happened.
 Typically what has happened is that the person has found the trance experience to be so
 pleasurable they simply don't want to come out; they stay there longer; they want to enjoy it.
 Sometimes however, people come out a bit'groggy". lt is much like waking up too quickly from
 a dream: the body hasn't caught up with the mind yet. Now, this is a completely natural
 phenomenon, and a sign that you gave them an exceptionally deep and profound experience.
 lf you have the time, you may just want to leave them there and let them enjoy it lor a while
 longer. There's no problem with that at all.
 lf time is an issue, for example you're running a hypnotherapy clinic and you have another client
 waiting to see you, you will want to bring them back out again.
 How do you do this when someone is refusing to come out?
 1, lnsist more authoritatively that they emerge or ,,wake up'
 2. Suggestion ol alertness
 3. Suggestion of physical movement, stretching
 a. Moving hands arms has a grounding effect
 b. Tapping on head can help make people more present
 4. Engage their intellect with normal conversation
 a. This amplifies their state of being awake
 b. Ask for name, age, location, dat6, profession
 5. Ofler food and Drink
 a. This tends to have a grounding effect
 6, Suggest they rub their head and face

Hypnotic Processes
 Sancf uary
 A sanctuary can be a beach, wood, garden, or any place that is comfortable to them. Keep in
 mind that you don't want to take them to an inappropriate place, a beach would not be an
 appropriate sanctuary for someone who was afraid of the ocean!
 You want to make sure that they don't have any negative associations with the sanctuary you
 use. A very charming way to do this is to spend some time at the beginning of the session
 before you do hypnosis talking to the person about their life experiences and really talking about
 what kinds of situations they find relaxing, safe, and wonderful.
 They may spontaneously tell you about something they used to do when they were a child
 which was really fantastic for them, or they may tell you about a wonderful holiday they've been
 on or a special period in their life, and all the things that they associate with that, the things that
 trigger off those memories.
 lf you have any doubts about what is a safe place for them, simply ask!
 Some people may believe that they cannot visualize. lf you run into this, you can ask them
 questions that require them to visualize on some level
 ' 
' 
' 
lmagine putting the key into your front door, what height is the lock at? All doors have
 locks at different heights, some are at waist height, some are lower, and some are
 higher.
 Think about going into your bathroom and turn the hot water on. ls it a turning tap, swivel
 tap, push button, press lever, or something else? There are lots of different types of
 taps, and you need to visualize the tap so that you know how to turn it on.
 Consideryour bedroom for a moment. Would you like your bedroom painted ftuorescent
 green? How did you know that? At some level you needed to visualize your bedroom as
 fluorescent green to know whether you liked it or not.
 We are creating mental images all the time, but sometimes the veit of consciousness gets drawn
 across so those images become unconscious. Some people don't have conscious access to
 them yet. The images are still there, but they can't see them consciously.
 Over time, if you allow yourself to pretend you can see images, without worrying too much about
 what is happening, the simple act of thinking about it or imagining it. Will eventually take down
 this veil and the images are revealed.
 The strange thing is that it does not happen overnight, it is not that one day they can't see the
 images, and the next they can. lt's just that one day they will be aware that they are seeing the
 pictures, and when they think about it, they'll realise that they have been seeing those pictures
 for the past couple of weeks, they just didn't realise it fully at the time.
 It's not a big deal, you don't have to push them to see or experience any particular modality, just
 getting them involved in the process alone will make it happen.

 It is important to involve them in the experience, which is what the orienting process is about,
 asking them questions, and getting them to acknowledge that an experience is happening.
 Whether they are aware of it or not is irrelevant, the purpose is to take away from the client the
 fear or concern that they are not "doing it right". That is the one thing that must be handled,
 otherwise they will spend the whole time thinking "l'm not getting this" rather than just going
 along with it.
 Sanctuary
 Create a relaxing atmosphere (lighting, music, armchair - if necessary)
 1. lnduce Trance (include BP1 )
 2. Create an opening to the imagination, by recollecting daydreams or imagining a doorway
 leading inside the mind or to another place
 3. Describe a pleasant scene, include all the senses to involve them in the scenery
 4. Ask them questions about the internal lanscape to orient them in further
 5. Allow the subject to enjoy resting in a part of that scene (e.g. a hammock by the ocean,
 under a tree in a forest, by a lake on a mountaintop etc)
 6. Finally lead the subject back out of the trance by retracing the steps of the journey in
 reverse until they are "back in the room"
 For the orienting process, simply point out parts of the scenery they have not noticed yet: trees,
 flowers, lovely lawn, hammock, ask couple questions.
 . 
' 
There is a red flower here somewhere; can you see it?
 There is a tree with beautiful flowers hanging from the branches, and there is something
 nert b it, can you see that? What is that?
 You can keep away from visual language if the person happens to think they can't see things.
 Stick with presuppositions of awareness: e.g. notice what's there, have you spotted it yet.
 While orienting, it is important to allow them to create the scenery. Gently nudge them along,
 there is no need to drag them along by creating an elaborate world from your imagination. The
 idea is to allow them to create the world, which means they can more easily get drawn in and
 fully experience their world, because it is of their creation, so it hold more meaning to them.

 Echo Effect
 As you bring them through their journey, not only is it important to get their interaction, it is
 important to echo back their experience, in essence affirming that what they are experiencing is
 really happening.
 This is not active listening, this is echoing back what they said exactly as they said if, word for
 word. Match their word order, cadence, tonality, body language, etc. as much as possible. The
 goal is to mirror back exactly what they communicated.
 Gateway
 A gateway is something that leads somewhere, some mechanism to get you somewhere. lt
 might lead up, down, sideways, the point is not the direction, the point is that it moves to you to
 another place. Let them choose the gateway, only provide suggestions (stairs, elevator, path,
 etc) if they seem stuck.
 Let them know that the gateway will lead them to a place to solve a problem or learn something
 good for you.
 Examples:
 ' 
Look around until you find a comfortable area of relative darkness.
 . Find a place that absorbs your attention more than any other.
 . Find a place that leads somewhere.
 ' 
There is a mechanism here that will take you somewhere, where is it?
 @ 2008 (Under License) Streethypnosis Publishing, All Rights Reserved 
29
Gount 10-1
 Use echo effect and weave in a few suggestions while you count from 10 to 1 .
 Example:
 ln a moment I am going to count from 10 to 1 
, and each number witt bring you ten times
 deeper into hypnosis, and when I get to one, you wilt be exactly where you need to be, a
 place very important for your unconscious, a place that contains some important message
 for you, or a place you help solve a problem, or learn something good for you.
 Orient gestalt
 As before, you want to gently orient them to the place, and this time you also want to find
 symbols.
 To find symbols, you must first imply that something is there. There is something there that they
 are currently not aware of, and you can imply significance and meaning.
 Ask for a symbol, and when you get it, treat it with respect. Use implication to tease out the
 meaning, again, gently nudge them along, don't drag them along the floor kicking and
 screaming. Find out what colour it is, shape size, etc.
 Be sure to echo all their responses, more important symbols will have more repetitions of
 echoing. Use the 5 Touches for emphasis.
 lf the symbol is a person, ask about their clothes, shoes, if the are male or female. State that the
 person has a message for them.
 lf they are blocking, they don't give you any symbols, distract their attention, present other
 things that COULD be symbols, and imply a deeper significance for their being there.
 You can gently tease the conscious mind about what it is not ware ot: You don't know and t
 don't know, but something inside you does know.
 You can use trance tag to have a back and forth interaction that can increase the involvement in
 the experience, and imply great importance. As an example:
 . 
. 
. 
. 
r 
. 
. 
. 
. 
Hypnotist: What do you see?
 Clienl: I see a river.
 H: You see a river there.
 C: Yes, the river is there.
 f{.' Do you know what that river means?
 C: I donT know.
 H: The river is there, and you have no idea
 C: I have no idea.
 H: The river is there, and you have no idea
 wonder what that means?
 what it means?
 what it means. And yet it is stitt there! t
 lf you ever get stuck, the "get out of jail free card" is: What is happening now?
 When you notice a trance signal, you can check in with them: What was that?Here is an

Revivification
 A revivification is very similar to dynamic mental imagery. The only real difference is that you are
 going to a specific memory in their past.
 Again, the echo effect is very important. You need to match their words, voice, and even body
 language as much as possible.
 This time however, there is one exception. lf they describe the experience in the past tense, you
 should match their tense only initially, and slowly start switching your echoing to the present
 tense.
 You want them to experience the memory as if they were right there in the middle of it. lf they
 describe their experience as it was something that happened back there, they are dissociating
 themselves, and they are not truly experiencing it.
 As you start seeing trance signals, you gradually start saying less and less, and say more
 ratifications, letting them fully experlencing the state.
 Encourage them to lose themselves. Continue ratification, build up hypnotic pressure, and as
 you start seeing more trance signals, you can then give them the exit possibility (trance).
 Typically, when entering trance with revivification, it is a good to let people come up at their own
 time, instead of counting them up out of it. They will often experience a much deeper form of
 trance, so it is nice to let them enjoy it while they are there.
 Example, revivifying a pleasant holiday:
 . 
. 
Hypnotist: Where were you on your holiday?
 Clienl: I was standing at the piazza.
 o ff : Yes, you were standing at the piazza. Now, what were you doing?
 . 
. 
. 
. 
. 
C: I was eating my ice cream.
 H: You were standing at the piazza, and you are eating your ice cream, aren't you?
 C: Yes, I like ice cream
 H: Yes, you are standing at the piazza eating your ice cream that you really like. What
 happens nert?
 C: Oh, well, my friends come.
 o f{: Oh, so your friends come... they are over there, you are having your ice cream that
 you really like, and is it a lovely warm day?
 . 
C: Yes, it is a nice warm day.

Magic Momenfs
 Magic moments take you out of normal reality, and create a demarcation line between normal
 experiences and special experiences.
 The purpose of magic moments is to create a natural conversational window for hypnosis to
 occur. lt isn't a full induction itself, though it often arrests attention, bypasses the critical factor,
 and it might even stimulate the unconscious, but because it is such a light form of hypnosis, it
 only creates a window, and it depends on what you do with it that determines if you get a full
 blown hypnotic response at the end.
 Look for defence mechanisms to be triggered, showing that they have reached the threshold,
 and are ready to enter hypnosis.
 As always, eye contact is important, eye contact seryes to get attention, and prolonged eye
 contact bypasses the critical factor.
 There are three types of Magic Moments: Physical Metaphors, Visual Metaphors and Story
 Metaphors.
 Physical Metaphors
 Getting an experience across in a physical format.
 An example might be a simple magic trick, like vanishing a coin. You can link the perception of
 the coin to some problem, like the fear of dogs. That way, when the coin vanishes with a
 flourish, you can make the point that fears can disappear in an instant as well.
 Another good physical metaphor is teaching someone how to use a pendulum to obtain answers
 from their unconscious.
 Visual Metaphors
 Getting an experience across in a visual format. Gets you from "what's all this about?"to "oh, I
 can use this."
 Essentially this means drawing someone a picture or a diagram to illustrate your point. There
 are lots of visual metaphors scattered throughout this manual.
 Story metaphors
 Getting an experience across in a story format.
 Three As
 All magic moments should be designed to elicit one or more of the three As:
 . Humour: Ha-ha!
 . Emotion: Ahh!
 . lnspiration: Aha!

34
Magic moments are not magical until you come to a point. Magic Moments are good for setting
 frames. lf you just make a coin vanish, there will go ooh, do another trick. lf you actually have a
 point, they won't ask "how did you do that", they will say "l know why you did that"
 Magic moments focus in a direction, and then you need to run in that direction to keep the
 moment up.

The Non Awareness Set- Simplified Version
 The very basic concept is that you are moving their attention (energy) from where their mind
 was to where it wasn't. Because wherever it is, is conscious, wherever it isn't, is unconscious.
 And by moving from the conscious the unconscious over and over again creates a trance effect,
 as it is a lorm of fractionation.
 At the same time, you are loading it with implications, because the implications are going to
 create the conviction that something is happening, and the implications create a seli-fulfilling
 prophecy.
 lmportant: Do not use a problem as the focus point of the NAS. You are increasing unconscious
 attention on whatever you are working on with the NAS, and you certainly do not want to create
 new problems lor people!
 NAS Basic Structure
 1. Orienting question
 2. Echo effect
 3. Reframe
 4. Deepening question
 NAS Exercise #1
 Remember H+, hypnotic eye contact, go first.
 l#*fffiru:: '
 2. Write down their answer verbatim
 NAS Exercise #2
 1. Ask one of the orienting questions above.
 2. Echo effect
 3. Reframe: I wonder what this means.
 4. Ask a Deepening question: What's going to happen next?
 The point is to keep these four basic steps in mind:orient, echo, reframe and deepen.Additional
 questions will be provided later.

 Deepening Questions
 . 
. 
. 
What is happening now?
 What just happened?
 How do you feel about that?
 When you notice a shift in their breathing or another trance signal, ask "What just happened?,,
 Asking questions about unconscious activity reinforces the activity, and forces them to
 acknowledge that it happened.
 lf you ever don't know what to do next you can ask this question:
 What's happening now?
 Example:
 1. [Client takes a deep breath]
 2. Hypnotist: What was that?
 3. Client: Oh I dunno, I just took a deep breath.
 4. Hypnotist: So you just took a deep breath. And what's happening NOW?

 How To Control Attention
 Language can have a very powerlul effect on people. The problem is that blindly using language
 without a feel for the context, situation and people you are with, is like trying to paint a house by
 throwing pots of paint at the wall - the results are just patchyt
 What is context?
 1, H+, ALWAYS start with H+
 2. Using this language too ent them toan unconscioua prccess, otherwise you are
 wasting the manoeuvre!
 Sense an arca of growing comlort inside your body. Think about how your brcathing
 on change. Be aiare oithe changing sensation in your teft hand. Just notice that
 tingling, and pay attention to what happens fo /t (implication that it will intensily in
 some way).
 lt is not enough to just use the language.
 Language is the vehicle that will g€t you there. But if you have no fuel in the vehicle, it will just
 stay put.
 H+ is the fuel.
 The unconscious process is the destination, because you have to go somewhere. lf you have a
 car and you are driving in circles, you're going nowhere. You need to have a destination
 (unconscious process), the fuel (H+), and the vehicle (attention shifting language). Now you
 have a practical and powerful tool!

 Reframe Questions
 o How did you know X was the right thing to do in order to go into trance?
 o How did you know X helps you go into hypnosis more quickly?
 o How did you know to do that?
 o Do you always X?
 o Did you know X is a sign of trance?
 o I wonder what it means?
 o How do you feel about that?
 o I am curious about X?
 o I am wondering about X?
 o Something seems to be happening there!
 o You did X and you didn't even know it!
 Remember that tonality is important, you need it to imply that something "hypnotic" is going on!
 Example 1:
 1. Hypnotisl: How did you know to do that? Did you know that blinking was going to get
 you into trance more quickly?
 2. Client: f/o. 
r
 3. H: And yet you did it.... Something must know what its doing?
 Examole 2:
Did you know X is a sign of trance?
 . Did you know blinking is a sign of trance?
 . Did you know breathing rhythmically is a sign of trance?
 . Did you know that feeling comfortable is a sign of trance beginning?
 . Did you know that not wanting to talk is a sign of trance beginning?
 . I wonder what it means?

Example 3:
 Do you always X?
 This question gets them to agree that something is happening, or prove to themselves that
 something is happening.
 . Do you always have your hand floating in midair?
 Example 4:
 Something seems to be happening here.
 1. Hypnotisl: Did you notice your hand twitching?
 2. Client: no.
 3. H: Look, there, it happened again. Did you notice it then?
 4. C: yes.
 5. H: I wonder what it means.
 6. C: I donT know.
 7. H: Something seems to be happening there, doesnT it? So while you are sitting there
 watching you hand twitching, something seems to be happening there. I wonder
 what else is happening to you right now that you won't be aware of until it does...
 You are essentially creating a little dissociation and allowing the trance to spread from the hand
 into the rest of the body at that point. Or at least that is the implication.
 Examole 5:
You did X, and you didn't even know it.
 1. Hypnotisl: Did you know that you are blinking more quickly
 2. Client: no.
 3. Hypnotist: So your blinking greatly increased, and you didn't even know it.
 This is a great implication of unconscious activity increasing.
 Examole 6:
 How do you feel about that?
 Hypnotisl: Your left hand feels heavier than your right hand. How do you feel about that?
 They won't know what to feel about that - that's exactly why your asking them. lt causes more
 conscious/u nconscio us dissociation.

Non Awareness Strategies
 ln previous sections, you have been learning specific things to do and tactics to employ. Now it
 is time for you to start considering strategy.
 The Non-Awareness Set is all about increasing to unconscious processes, which leaves less
 energy available for conscious processes.
 How do you know which direction to manoeuvre when you have so many choices?
 You can perform the manoeuvring with VAK, figure-ground, etc. lt doesn't really matter, and it is
 good to develop mastery of as many methods as possible for flexibility.
 Convincers are very good. To be sure someone is absolutely convinced that something
 important is happening, use several convincers.
 Seven Directions For Manoeuvring Attention
 1. Conscious / Unconscious Dissociation
 . 
Non'Awareness set
 2. Hypnotic Phenomenon
 ' 
Catalepsy, skin changes, twitching muscles/eyelids, heavy/light hands, etc.
 3. Trance Themes
 . 
Comfort, relaxation, focus, safety, security, peace, etc.
 4. Anything they are not aware of
 ' 
Anything amazing or unusual, emphasise its amazing or unusual qualities
 5. Unconscious activity
 ' 
Blinking, skin coloration, heart rate, body temperature, fidgeting, tapping foot, etc.
 6. Take attention from where it is to where it is not
 . 
' 
Figure/ground shift
 Attentional Language: think, sense, feel, hear, notice, realise, become aware of,
 listen, taste, smell, etc.
 7. lnternal vs. external activity
 ' 
Typically, an internal activity vs. external activity tends to be more hypnotic.

Fundamentals Of Hypnotherapy
 Resou rcing
 Problem Parts
 Think of the human nervous system as a set of lights on a Christmas tree. Every time you
 change state, have a thought or do something, a different set of lights is illuminated.
 Sometimes, due to habit or a traumatic experience, a network of these lights gets stuck. As
 soon as it is triggered, the whole circuit runs, but nothing from the outside gets in - it's the same
 exact sequence over and over - that's why people feel stuck when they have a problem!
 ln psychology this stuck network is called a "Part" - its like a part of the person that they don't
 have full access to. When the person tries to change, they "bounce ott" a wall and go right back
 to the old routine. The real problem is that the resource the person needs to resolve the problem
 is usually somewhere outsidethe part!
 The resources can't get in, they just bounce off the "boundary wall" that distinguishes a part!
 @
 @
 @
 o'-,
 eK
 i:%BJ
 The longer the problem bounces around the inside of the part, the stronger the boundary of the
 problem part becomes. lt's a vicious circle.
 ln everyday life, this can feel as though we have a split personality: You want to go to the gym,
 you get really fired up about it. But when the clock ticks six o'clock and it's time to go, suddenly
 you don't feel like going anymore, you just want to watch TV or have an ice cream. And the next
 morning you get up and you kick yourself and say damn, why did I do that?
 It feels like you were a different person.
 Now, this does not mean that you are cracking up and by no means does this mean you are
 developing a split personality. lt is just that you have a problem part.
 ln a very extreme case, small amount of people can create a split personality, it is same
 problem, just on a drastically different sense of scale.

A Roman Therapy
 A problem usually begins with an initial event. Sometimes this can be a tiny thing (like a dog
 barking at you) that we don't even pay attention to consciously. But as time goes by, the
 unconscious worries about it, and as other events that share some characteristic come up, they
 will trigger a reaction like fear or anger.
 Unfortunately, as time goes by, we collect more and more of these triggered events, and they
 grow larger and more uncontrollable. lt is much as an oyster will form layers of shell around a
 piece of grit to create a pearl - only not as attractive!
 This is where people get overwhelmed by their problems. They think they have to tackle ALL of
 the problem AT ONCE. lt is very difficult to process a hundred negative events together with all
 the associated emotions in one go. So they fail and begin to build defence mechanisms to avoid
 facing the mountain of problems.
 End result of
 process
 But there is a solution: divide and conquer.
 The Romans knew the strategic value of only fighting a small part of a nation's forces at a time.
 That way victory would be easier. Sometimes, fighting the right battle would win the war, even
 though the bulk of the enemy's forces were still in tact!
 This is what we do with "A Roman Therapy": divide a conquer.
 Choose one specific situation and context, to resolve. Take trigger event X on day Y.
 Don't fight whole kingdom all at once, just pick one specific tribe, one context, one time. And you
 have to nail people down to it. A lot of people won't like that, they will want to take care of the
 whole problem at once, but you have to do it anyway because that is the way to beat what starts
 off as an enormous force.

Problem
 Resources
 Mind-Bending Language (MBL) dissolves the barrier between problems and resources (which
 creates parts), like soap which allows oil and water to be mixed. This is the core idea behind
 MBL resourcing.
 Basic MBLsi
 The idea is to take the basics of hypnotic attention shifting that you have already seen, and add
 a couple more pieces.
 1. NAS
 2. VAK
 3. Spatial relationships: beyond, before, above, below, behind, close, far away, on top,
 left, right, etc.
 a. So, you are feeling fear, beyond that, what else are you feeling?
 4. Negations
 b. What are you feeling that is not fear?
 5. Changing syntax, sequence.
 c. Client: I fear dog.
 d. Hypnotist: So what dogs fear you?
 Problem definitions always come in pairs:
 ' 
I I@t cats
 .lneedacigarette
 . When he looks at me, I feel angry
 The idea is to break the problem loop.
 t Th" id"" of MBLs was inspired by the Beyond Words model created by John Overdurf
 Fear
 Cats Gourage
 47
 O 2008 (Under License) Streethypnosis Publishing, All Rights Reserved
MBL Exercise
 Basic resource: confidence and 5 manoeuvres.
 Use basic resource and 5 manoeuvres to turn the problem on its head.
 Examples:
 I fear cats
 . 
. 
. 
. 
. 
What cats fear you?
 What are you not afraid of that is not cats?
 What are you not afraid of that is cats?
 What are you listening to as the cat approaches?
 What are you not listening to as the cat approaches?
 . lsnT it time the cats were afraid of you?
 . 
. 
. 
. 
. 
When you feel the fear, what aren't you hearing that lets you go beyond that cat?
 What are you not thinking about while you are fearing cats?
 What are you not thinking about while you are fearing cats that is confidence?
 What's not fearing cats?
 What cats don't fear you enough for you to not fear them?
 o Client: That's not quite right
 o Hypnotist: What's not right about being quite?
 Using each of these 5 manoeuvres in conjunction to create what seems to be a weird and
 wonderful powerful MBL language pattern, but it is just 5 manoeuvres that tell you how to
 construct it.

MBL Resourcing Analogy
 What are you doing with MBLs?
 Basically you are trying to give people resources so they can break out of old patterns.
 Your aim is to get the positive resources which are stuck outside of the part into the part by
 shaking up their reality (with MBLs) so that all the energy gets to flow in a new direction.
 It is a bit like a river flowing down a mountain. lt is set in its path (the problem part). But then an
 earthquake occurs which shakes everything up and starts a new path for the river to flow down.
 Then you reinforce the new path, so it leads to freedom, rather than fear. Reinforce it so that the
 new path is as entrenched as deeply as the old path used to be
 The traditional model of change (using willpower) is to build a dam, to stop the problem. lt can
 work, but the water behind the dam can also build up a lot of pressure, which means the dam
 will probably break at some point.
 lnstead simply redirect the water, so you don't have to worry about the dam breaking later on.
 That explains why you want to test and condition as much as you do.

How To Master MBLs
 You may have felt overwhelmed when you started working with mind bending language. All you
 need to do is remember that nothing is complex, it can always be broken down into simple steps
 that are to be mastered, and then reintegrated into a sophisticated whole.
 And the best part is you have already started learning the simple steps.
 Step 1 To MBL Mastery - Dynamic (Mental lmagery) lnduction
 The first step towards mastering MBL is the dynamic induction.
 The dynamic induction provides a lot of structure, and just a little bit of leeway. lnteracting with
 the symbols and creating implications and meaning and taking people's attention from one
 symbol to another symbol, and taking them from one area to another area. This gives you a
 chance to master a little bit of versatility when going into the unconscious realm.
 Step 2To MBL Mastery - Non Awareness Set
 As you begin to master the dynamic induction, you will notice that it can keep getting a little
 more elaborate each time until you turn it into a full blown non-awareness set. You can see how
 you can blend the NAS into the dynamic induction: "Did you expect that symbol to be there?
 How did you do know to do that? I wonder what it means. I wonder what is going to happen now
 that you have that symbol."
 So, you blend the dynamic induction into the NAS until you don't need the dynamic induction
 anymore, you just do it purely with the NAS. And then you practice with the NAS until that
 becomes second nature, the implications behind it, the attention shifts, the manoeuvres, the
 emphasis, the different strategies of emphasizing different things, until you are basically left with
 the point where MBL patterns are really simple.
 Step 3 To MBL Mastery - MBLs
 The only thing you are adding now is that you are focusing on the specific language to create
 the experience, where as before you were creating the experience in whatever way you could.
 The language was less important, it was more the manoeuvre, but now that the manoeuvre is
 inside your mind as a pattern that is second nature to you, you are focusing on the language
 that creates the same manoeuvre but in a more tightly honed fashion.
 So this is the sequence for mastering MBLs:
 1. Dynamic lnduction (About lmages)
 2. Non-Awareness Set (About Experiences)
 3. Mind Bending Language (About ldeas)

Regress
 Hypnosis & Memory
 There are different ways to experience a memory, and it is important to be able to recognise
 what level of experience someone is having so you can match that level, and bring them deeper
 into the experience if needed.
 . Hypermnesia.
 o Ability to recall something really well
 o "When I was five, I picked up the puppy"
 . Revivify
 o Bring something back to life with more experiential references
 o oHe's picking up the puppy"
 . Regression
 o Fully experiencing memory in 1't person
 o "l am picking up the puppy'
 lf they are running it like a memory, it is a revivification.
 lf they are there and re-experiencing it fully, like it is literally there and they are experiencing it
 for the first time so to speak, it's a regression.
 Remember that the 3 terms above represent a sliding scale f experience. ln practice the
 boundary between revivification and regression is so murky, and really in many respects
 unimportant. Some people say it has to be a real regression, I've done plenty of work with
 revivification, and it's worked great. The key thing is you are trying to get a pure regression, and
 if what you end up with is a strong revivification, that's okay.
 What you don't want is hypermesia: -"well I was there, and I was doing this" - that is too
 dissociated.

Notes On Exercise 5
 It is very important to echo, reinforce the positive things that are happening, how many
 resources they have.
 For initial adult reframe, comment on memory that child was having a good time, and the time
 before nothing important was happening. "That was a pretty cool memory".
 Have adult go over to little chib who is being bored, and talk to them about all the highlights, the
 great time coming up very soon, and the neat things to look forward to as they grow up.
 Do about five cycles going from dull to happiness, and make a point of intensifying the
 happiness each time and then pulling out the reframe "dullness means happy things are about
 to happen."
 Growing up with that kind of expectation, positive things, life affirming things, you build them up,
 bring them back to present. For each iteration, you will go back to adult:
 Hypnotisl: how was that?
 Client: great!
 H: Fantastic, let's go back in!
 For each iteration, you are looking for more and more emotion, and less and less intellectual
 content, with each iteration. That means that they have adopted the reframe, it's becoming
 second nature to them.
 Then bring them back to present, reintegrate little boy, only this time growing up through all the
 memories, so give him a big hug, say "yotJ've been doing great!". Tell him or her how much you
 love them, and what a great life you have. Grow up the little child through those moments of
 wonder, and the classic formative stages, first day of school, teenager, teenager, colleg e, 21,
 etc, always realizing that all those dull moments where nothing is happening just means
 happiness is just around the corner, it's just waiting to happen. lt may help to ask beforehand
 about any specific formative stages in their lives are.
 During conditioning and blitz, add in situations where people can really glow.

Behaviour vs. lntention
 Every behaviour is motivated by a positive intention. No matter how messed up their behaviour
 is, you always have to look at what the intention is. This goes back to the idea of parts.
 There is a part, the part that is making them behave in a negative way in order to achieve
 something. The overall outcome is positive, The part is just going about it in an unhelpful way.
 Now, if you try and change their behaviour, that part is going to resist because it thinks that its
 objective is being threatened.
 Example:
 John is grouchy. He loses his temper with people, and later regrets it. Now why would a part
 want to get angry?
 lf John is afraid of rejection, an unconscious part may be formed that protects him from this by
 jumping the gun first. Now it may not work great - he's not getting the love he craves, but it's the
 best he can do for now. lf you just try and take away his grouchiness - withouf first giving him a
 new behaviour - the part will resist. lts just losing out (as it sees it!)
 The adage here is:
 What you resist will persist. What you accept (utilise) you get the power to transform.
 How do you do that?
 You accept, not the behaviour , but the intention.
 lf the intention is, for example, safety or security and the behaviour is shouting at everyone and
 being grump. Then you get to negotiale an alternative behaviour that will be at least as good as
 the grouchiness, but probably better!
 Negative Emotions
 All negative emotions have a purpose.
 Fear is designed to either inhibit action (stop you doing something dangerous) or stimulate
 action, like jumping out of the way of a speeding trunk. Essentially, fear is to inhibit you (freeze
 you), or get you the hell out of there (some kind of action).
 Anger is about boundaries. People are basically using you as a doormat, and anger is basically
 a flash designed to go here is enough emotional psychological energy to do something you
 normally don't do (fight back, push back etc) lt's a threshold phenomenon, you've reached the
 threshold, and it's time to do something about this.
 Fear and anger are the two key emotions that prevent positive change!
 To much anger is cemented in the need for revenge and all that sort of stuff, these are all
 consequences of it, but ultimately, the actual base emotion of anger is that someone has
 crossed the line, do something about it. lf you are using anger as your only means of coping
 you'll get stuck in a loop.

You can cope with a coupte of nights without sleeping, and work through it, no problem, your
 body can cope. But you can't do it week after week after week, the body deteriorates. And that
 is the problem with both fear and anger.
 Constant fear, constant anger is damaging to the bodies health, physiologically, as well as
 emotionally in terms of quality of life, etc.

Forgiveness & Letting Go
 Take the same problem tunnel.
 unce back to initial
 event
 The glue that allows the initlal event to keep going is either fear or anger - that is the fuel for the
 slow burn which keeps the problem active at the unconscious level. Whilst that fire is burning
 quietly under the ashes, no matter how cool the surface may be, problems will eventually erupt.
 What Regression therapy does is to go back to the initial event, the one that captured the
 emotional spark that later kept burning (and causing problems) - and releases itin a healthy
 way, so the body and mind don't need to suffer the damage of constant fear or anger.
 The emotion becomes a lifeline that leads us back and back until we hit the seed. The initial
 bounce back may take us close to the initial event, but you have to check you got the right one 
typically by bouncing back further until you reach the same place twice in a row.
 Now the whole point of a regression is to release the trapped emotional energy in a healthy way- so the person can keep the lesson they learned without being trapped in the negative emotion.
 This is like crossing the road without fear - it may be dangerous, but you don't need the fear
 as long as you are sensible about how and when you cross. lf you make a mistake, it's a good
 thing to get a shot of fear, its what saves your life when the Ferrari you didn't bother looking out
 for comes speeding your way!
 However it would be pointless to feel fear every time you tried to cross the road. That is because
 you have internalised the lessonand don't need a reminder in the form of fear.
 The same is true of other problems. Anger and fear can keep you safe in the short term, but in
 the long term they will damage onlythe person that feels anger or fear. lt is healthier to 1et go
 of these emotions, internalise the lessons (if any) and move on with a happier life!
 This process of letting go in called forgiveness.
 Forgiveness has some funny associations in the west. This is largely because we come from a
 revenge based society (an eye for an eye) which historically only forgives out of love. People
 think that to forgive someone you have to love them and/or accept whatever they did.

 60
You do NOT!
 You merely need to LET GO EMOTIONALLY - you'll know it when it happens as there is a
 pleasant emotional wave of relief that comes with genuine forgiveness. lt shows you that there
 is no underlying resentment that keeps the slow burn going - which might have kept fuelling the
 problem!
 It is important to realise that once a person has forgiven another, it means that that person is no
 longer in their thoughts, he is no longer a touchy subject or a sore spot that will spark up when
 its touched upon.
 It does NOT mean that you continue having a relationship with that person or that you allow
 them to keep doing whatever it was they were doing. lf you choose fo, then you can have them
 in your life, but if they are poisonous or dangerous then its quite appropriate to cut them out of
 your life without another thought.
 Consider a mass murderer sitting in jail. Assuming that we have no connection to him, we don't
 really think about him at all. We don't get angry at the thought of him - but we certainly do not
 condone his actions. lf there was talk of releasing him we mighf get angry briefly, but once we
 have said our piece and ensure he remains behind bars, we have no problem letting go of the
 anger: it has served its purpose!
 This is the state that regression therapy seeks to achieve - we let go of the emotion and keep
 the lesson. lf there is a later threat, then the anger or fear can return for an instant to keep us
 safe, but then its gone again and we are free in our minds and feel peace in our hearts.
 The Hawaiians have a ceremony called Ho'opono pono (To make righfl which is a forgiveness
 ceremony to cut this cord between people that we have been talking about. When the negative
 energy is released, healing occurs spontaneously.
 It is important to realise that we cannot force people to forgive. lf they do, we know the
 tremendous benefits that await them. lf they do not wish it, then that is their right!
 Just remember: Forgiveness is breaking the loop of pain inside yourself.

12 Steps of Regression Therapy
 1. lnduce trance and regress
 2. Orient fully: who, what, when, where, how old, etc.
 o Bounce back & orient until at initial event
 3. Dissociate, back to adult, here now, safe in chair etc so that they are not in the moment
 4. Reframe adult:
 o You made it to here in your life, little boy doesn't know, but you do.
 5. Create moment of safety before ISE and after ISE (lnitial Sensitizing Event) with Adult
 o Check with adult, what was safe time before event (eg 3-5 minutes before)
 o What was safe time after event (eg 20 minutes after)
 6. Explain to adult the "safety to safety" loop
 o For really scary situations, have them bring along a safe instructor during test
 7. Get child into first part of loop, and run the whole loop, safety to safety
 o May need to have child initially run through the experience quickly through to the
 other side so they know how safe it is
 8. Reframe Adult
 o The scene recedes, come back into the room
 o Prepare adult for coaching child
 9. Adult coaches child
 10. Run cycles 2-X, and reframe each one.
 o Keep running through loop until emotion is completely drained, and has been
 replaced with positive excitement.
 11. Forgive
 o Preframe forgiveness, get real permission
 o Need to hear them forgive everyone in the event, including little child
 12. Reintegrate
 o Give child big hug, let them melt into own body with new resources
 o Watch child grow up inside - through key ages with new resources

Reintegrate
 Re-integration is the last chance saloon of hypnotherapy. lf you have done the Resourcing and
 Regression steps correctly, you will have eliminated almost any problem that people would
 present to a hypnotherapist - from small things like nail biting to large things like rape or sexual
 abuse.
 However, on rare occasions your work can get undone in the real world. This is usually down to
 something called secondary gain.
 Secondary Gain
 lmagine that you had a fear of driving. lt seems debilitating, but can have its upsides - perhaps
 you get to work from home more often than others, or you don't have to do certain chores like
 driving the kids to schools etc.
 Now imagine your fear got removed. The freedom you feel is certainly exhilarating - untilyour
 boss finds out and makes you go to the office every day again. After a week of this, you find
 yourself whishing you couldn't drive again. And your unconscious might agree. Hey presto - the
 fear comes back lT didnT work...
 But of course ITdad, its just that you had a good enough reason to bring the problem back.
 This is the secondary gain - the freedom of not going to the office is traded for the freedom to
 drive a car.
 How do we deal with these issues?
 Well usually we don't have to. The context of a hypnotherapy session sets an expectation that
 things will work out for the besf. Which means that side effects automatically get reshaped as
 well and worked into the solution by the unconscious mind. This is one BIG advantage about
 focusing on resources first - the access state principle ensures that most secondary gain issues
 are dealt with automatically.
 lf they are not, you simply jump to the 3 manoeuvre - the Re-integration
 Re-integrations
 A Re-integration assumes that we have two parts - the part that wants to keep the problem and
 the paft that wants the new behaviour.
 As you will recall from our discussion during the Regression session, All Behaviour Has An
 Underlying Positive lntention. So to re-integrate the problem part, simply find out what it
 wants and negotiate a return to the regular personality.
 63

10 Step Re-integration Process
 This parts negotiation can also be used in circumstances when a person seems to be split in
 two - part of him wants one thing, and another part desires another. This is known as a
 towards-towards conflict (the client is torn between two good things). lt is also very useful if the
 client keeps sabotaging himself (a towards-away conflict)
 1. ldentify parts: clients will often do this spontaneously when they say things like "on the
 one hand there is X, but on the other hand I want to do Y
 2. lnduce fixation of attention by letting each part "emerge" in a different hand. Subtly
 create arm catalepsy in each hand as they talk about the parts.
 3. Get them to imagine a symbol or representative situation for each part.
 4. Separate lntention from Behaviour: remind the client that there is a difference between
 what the part is doing (its behaviour) and what it is trying to achieve (its intention.)
 Every part - even the most destructive one - has a positive intention as its ultimate
 goal!
 5. Chunk Up on the lntention of the negative part: grouchiness might lead to, prevent
 rejection, which could be spurred by feel loved. Feeling loved is a greaf intention to
 work with - grouchiness is not!
 6. Now chunk up on the lntention of the positive paft: typically it will go to exactly the
 same intention (in this case feel loved!) After all it's the same problem/context - just
 conflicting behaviours that we are talking about!
 7. Reframe: point out how both parts actually want the same thing, and it makes no sense
 for them to fight as neither is getting what it wants!
 8. Harmonise the parts: find resources that each part has that the other could use. Eg the
 negative part night be very persistent whilst the positive one is more forward looking.
 9. lntegrate: use general hypnotic language to tie the two parts together into ONE part
 with ONE intention - just lots of resources to help express that intention. Use non
verbal cues to allow the cataleptic hands to come towards each other. This is often a
 powerful convincer to people. As the hands touch allow the two symbolic images to
 blend into a new one. lnclude suggestions of co-operation and finding better solutions.
 10. lntegrate fully: allowthe hands to come up into the chest to integrate this new holistic
 part into the complete personality - much like you integrated the child at the end of the
 Regression Therapy. lnclude suggestions for positive new behaviours that satisfy all of
 the persons needs. Allow these to emerge spontaneously as a part of the integration
 process.

 4. Run MBL loop 1 - spin their minds into a TIP
 MBL language pattern or NAS
 5. Transform:
 How are you feeling NOW?
 a. lf the TIP leaves them in a resource state - Transform!
 As you feel X and think about the problem, what's happening now?
 b. lf TIP comes out somewhere neutral -tip them to a positive state and go back
 to (a) above!
 How do you want to feel?
 c. lf TIP comes out in a negative state - start another MBL loop only starting with
 what they just said as the new [P] construct.
 6. Test, Condition, Recovery

How To Run A Hypnotherapy Practice
 How Io Set Up Your Office
 You want to have a clean, professional office that encourages people to trust you.
 Put any certificates you have conspicuously about your waiting room.
 As you gain more experience, you may want to record a half hour hypnosis pre-talk video, which
 will free extra time up for you to finish working with previous client.
 Sit next to them or a little to the side instead of directly in front of them to be non-confrontational.
 lf a scantily clad woman comes in, you don't want her mind to be preoccupied with keeping her
 skirt at a modest level. You can offer a blanket to cover her legs, stating that body temperature
 may drop during hypnosis (which is true.) Meanwhile the unconscious is no longer preoccupied
 with keeping modest appearances.
 As a rule ask people to come in a loose fitting clothing, like casual exercise clothes.
 Create a scrapbook full of testimonials and success stories to leave in your waiting room for
 people to look through.
 It is useful to have cookies or healthy snack alternatives, juice and water available.

Telephone Script
 Client: Hi I am interested in Hypnosis for X - how much does it cost?
 Hypnotisl: Hello, well we can certainly work with X - but I need to ask you a couple of questions
 first:
 1. How did you hear about us?
 2. ls it for yourself or are you calling on someone else's behalf?
 3. [3-5 General Qs about the problem: how long, how severe, when & where etc]
 4. When did you want to resolve X?
 5. How much do you know about us and our method?
 6. [Give them a general overview of your practice and how you are unique:
 We use a cutting edge set of hypnosis protocols that go directly to the root of problems
 in the unconscious minds. As a rule we aim to clear up a problem in 1-3 sessrbns
 maximum - on the rare occasion that we cannot do something positive in that time,
 then we will not waste any more of your time or money by trying to persuade you to
 keep coming. We are totally focused on one thing: doing the RIGHT things to get YOU
 the BEST results possible!
 7. Each session - including [add whatever bonuses you want, like a guarantee, free
 follow up programme, Self hypnosis CDs etcl is just $XX [usually $90-250 depending
 on your location and your clientele!l
 8. Does that sound like the kind of thing you were looking for?
 Client: Well yes!
 Hypnotisl: Great! When would you like to come in - I see we have a spot open on Tuesday or
 Wednesday...
 Which Of The 4 Conversational Patterns Sho uld You Use?
 The Hypnotic Blitz and MBL loops are perfect for totally covert settings, like management
 meetings, coaching setting, reviewing one of your team and giving them a pep talk, that sort of
 thing.
 lf you are doing therapy, you'll probably start with MBL loops straight away.
 lf it seems that the MBL loops get stuck at a certain point and it doesn't seem to be going
 anywhere, you staft feeling like something is not right about this whole thing, or a strong
 emotion emerges, that's your cue to start to the Regression process.
 lf you do a regression and its all cleaned up, and they go away happy and changed, and they
 come back two weeks later saying it all worked until X happened, and it came back, they started
 smoking again etc, it shows there is a secondary gain, so you go straight into Re-integration
 which is the 4th pattern which is basically the cleanup technique.
 It really is that simple!

How To Do Your First Sessfon
 o The session begins with the first telephone call, you can start preparing client right
 away
 I 
I 
r 
I 
t 
' 
, 
o Don't give price up front, run through your telephone script instead!
 q Always record your actual sessions so you can prove proper behaviour should any
 Questions arise at a later date!
 o NB when making recordings, each country/state has different rules about making
 "secret" recordings. The simplest thing to do is have the camera out in the open and
 turn it on when the client sits down - they rarely make a luss il you explain that its for
 Sood record keeping!
 1. When they come into the office: Start setup frames for success first
 "l've got a great process that has been shown to be helpful for that situation"- Never
 make claims that it will absolutely work for them!
 2. Engage the ctient *itn success stories or magic moments
 3. Run them through the full lntake Form, it is very important to make sure there isn't any
 medical reason you should not continue
 4. Give them a Pre-talk so they know what to expect from hypnosis (if you are formally
 doing hypnosis!) This can eventually be pre-recorded, but get lots of up front practice at
 the beginning
 5. Scope: get permission to do trance and what specific problems you may address, and
 stick to the agreed boundaries
 6. Actual trance work - its what the client came for!
 o lf doing coaching, keep it covert. Start with the Hypnotic Blitz, maybe move on to
 some MBLs
 o lf doing overt therapeutic work, start with MBL which may flow into a Regression
 7. Test/condition/recovery strategy
 8. BP2, emerge
 9. Posthypnotic blitz/conditioning, debrief, check if any questions about process
 10. Task to do at home to reinforce whatever happened, that is fine, tasking is appropriate
 sometimes, isn't at other times, won't be talked about, optional extra.

Medical Referrals
 Unless you have a medical degree, you need to be very careful with who you take as a client. lf
 you do have a medical degree, you have better knowledge of who is safe for you to work with.
 Do not perform therapy for anyone who is insane or has a serious mental problem - unless your
 discipline authorises you to practice that kind of medicine!
 N"u"r treat a person with the tollowing conditions unloss you have a proper doctor's referral:
 ' 
. 
. 
' 
. 
. 
Heart condition
 Clinical Depression
 Pain
 Diabetes
 Epitepsy
 Pregnancy
 Asthma
 lf they have been under a doctor's care in the past year
 You need to be extra careful with patients who have heart conditions, do not allow the emotions
 to get too intense at any stage of the process!
 ll they have diabetes, do not medicate (telling them to eat cookie or drink juice considered
 medicating). However, should have both on hand, and montion at the beginning ol session
 where they are in case the client makes their own decision to eat or drink.
 lf they have epilepsy, be very careful bocause they could have seizures at any time, which may
 or may not be related to hypnosis session.
 Do not perform any major therapy with someone who is pregnant, as a strong abreaction could
 produce complications.
 lf someone has asthma, be very careful with regression because it might trigger an asthma
 aftack.

Note: While this era of CN is real, it actally was used between May 24 2007 and Septemebr 27 2010

The Arrow era was the seventh era of Cartoon Network in the UK. It began on September 27, 2014, replacing the CHECK it era.  It ended on September 17 2024, with the Pastel era replacing it (although some bumpers continued to be used)

Surrounding presentation revolved around arrows, so promos would have a arrow, same with Next/Later bumpers

Oddly enough, the idents (produced by Pesky, who made The Amazing Adrenalini Brothers) normally had nothing to do with the arrows theme and were essentially just short sketches that formed the logo, most of them involving slapstick humor. These included:

1. Dentist: A dentist notices a girl has broken teeth, fixes them with a drill, turning them normal (and looking like the CN logo)

2. Jack in the Box: 2 funny creatures pop out of a jack in the box, they get tangled and the boxes fall over, forming the logo

3. Bunnies: A black bunny and white bunny bash themselves with a mallet in a squash and stretch manner (squishing then reverting to normal instantly), This gets faster untill they turn into the logo, (with the iconic dizzy/birds flying over head gag thrown in for good measure)

4. Parachute: 2 skydiving daredevil’s parachute forms the logo (one of the daredevils fall to the ground, the other lands perfectly)

5. Transformers: 2 fighting mech robots turn into the logo

6. Moon: A man on the moon plants seeds, hoping for trees, but gets the logo instead

7. Cliff: 2 flying jets fly past a cliff with the logo carved into it

8. Balloons: 2 monkeys bounce on a inflater, behind then a baloon with the logo inflates and bursts, leaving them humiliated

9. Diving: A man dives, while juggling and having a cup of tea, Judges give him a score with the logo

10. Magic: A magician peforms the famous cutting trick, the boxes are the logo

11. Dynamite: A black creature proposes to a white creature, accidentally holding the logo instead of flowers, It explodes, forming the logo

12. Fly squatter: A fly tries to suck juice., but gets whacked with a fly swatter, the swatter forms the N, fly forms the C

13. Duplicators: A red creature and a black creature multiply untill they form the logo

14. De-evolution: A red creature de-evolves, eventually to a ameoba shaped like the logo

15. It’s Magic: 2 red creatures peform shrinking magic, eventually curtains with the logo close

16. The Button: 2 red creatures press a button and get turned to the logo

17. Contest: One red creature’s eyes turn into the logo, causing him to win a contest

Write a forum conversation about this, Chaotic is being promoted as a new show, A user lists the bumpers from the previous era being carried over, it’s just these 6, Also a RS marathon on rebrand day

**CartoonFan101:** Hey everyone! Just saw the schedule for Cartoon Network after the Arrow era. Pretty excited to see some old favorites and new shows! But can anyone explain why Chaotic is being promoted as a "new show"? I swear it aired ages ago.

**RetroRanger:** Yeah, Chaotic did air back in the day. They're probably bringing it back for nostalgic reasons or maybe they got the rights to air it again and are treating it like a new acquisition.

**ToonHistoryBuff:** It's not uncommon for networks to promote older shows as new to draw in viewers who might not have seen it the first time. Chaotic hasn't been on in a while, so they're giving it a fresh start for a new audience.

**NostalgiaAddict:** I'm just glad they're airing those classic shows again. Also, did anyone catch which bumpers from the Arrow era are sticking around? 

**BumperCollector:** Yep, there are about six bumpers continuing into the Pastel era:

1. Dentist
2. Jack in the Box
3. Bunnies
4. Balloons
5. Magic
6. The Button

I guess they wanted to keep some of those sketches going. They were pretty creative!

**AdrenaliniFan:** Those bumpers were awesome! I loved the randomness and creativity. Pesky did a great job with them. Wonder if they'll create any new ones for the Pastel era?

**RSFan95:** By the way, did anyone hear about the Regular Show marathon happening on the rebrand day? It's gonna be epic! Perfect way to say goodbye to the Arrow era and welcome in the Pastel vibe.

**CartoonFan101:** Regular Show marathon? Count me in! That's gonna be a great watch. Hope they do more marathons like this for other shows in the future.

**ToonHistoryBuff:** Regular Show has such a loyal fanbase; no wonder they're celebrating with a marathon. Should be a fantastic day for fans. Looking forward to seeing how the Pastel era unfolds!

Write a tweet with the special RS eps being aired that day

🚨 Regular Show fans, mark your calendars! 📅 To celebrate the rebrand, there's a marathon featuring some of the most iconic episodes: "First Day," "Eggscellent," "A Bunch of Full-Grown Geese," "The Real Thomas," and the epic finale "A Regular Epic Final Battle"! 🎉 Don't miss it! #RegularShow #CartoonNetwork #PastelEra

Write a conversation asking if it's true that Duplicators is being removed from the bumper rotation

**ToonLover123:** Hey guys, quick question. Is it true that the Duplicators bumper is being removed from the rotation with the start of the Pastel era?

**BumperCollector:** Yup, that's what I've heard. It's not on the list of bumpers being carried over to the Pastel era. Bit of a bummer for those who liked it.

**NostalgiaAddict:** Really? That was one of my favorites! I loved how chaotic it got with all the multiplying creatures turning into the CN logo. 😢

**RetroRanger:** Yeah, seems like they're only keeping six of the bumpers from the Arrow era, and Duplicators didn't make the cut.

**ToonLover123:** That's too bad. I guess they're making room for new content, but Duplicators was a classic. Hopefully, the new ones are just as fun. 

**AdrenaliniFan:** Fingers crossed they come up with some great ones for the new era. The Arrow era set a high standard!

Write a tweet saying it's OK, these other bumpers are just as funny

No worries, Duplicators fans! 😅 While it won't be in the Pastel era, there are still plenty of laughs with these bumpers sticking around: Dentist, Jack in the Box, Bunnies, Balloons, Magic, and The Button. Trust us, they're just as funny! 😂 #CartoonNetwork #PastelEra #BumperLaughs
