| Once you have practiced the Imagery on your Hypnotic Workshop screen you have at your hands the tools for transforming you life. Autosuggestion can be classified as a number of things, from the verbal autosuggestion of repeating a phrase over and over in your head or out loud to painting or printing an image in your mind or on canvas. The main strength in "suggestion" is your faith in its power and your "intention". When suggesting something to yourself, you already know what it is you are trying to accomplish so there is no ambiguity over words or symbols and their meanings, and the outcome you desire. Wording is not important, what is important is what you intend to do. You can start with simple autosuggestions like the one Emile Coue used to cure people of their ailments such as "Every day in every way I am getting better and better". Have clear in your mind what the goal is behind the suggestion, for example, alot of books on the subject of hypnosis or "creative visualisation" mention suggestions to get the new car you want or the house etc... I seem to think though sometimes they miss the plot. When I used hypnosis to get into Uni and become an Artist, what I was imagining on the screen was not so much getting the degree or being an artist but the "feeling" I would get as an artist. The feeling on sitting in a cafe and discussing art philosophy, the feeling of being able to draw what i saw or express my ideals through art and the feeling that came with the feel and smell of art materials. I found that my goals were not about, travelling, owning things or doing stuff but about acquiring the feelings that came with them. Feelings can be a goal in themselves and the acquisition of a library of feelings experienced is what my life seems to be concerned with. You may find that for yourself your goals may be about acquiring tactile sensations say of owning a jumper of a certain type of material, or the sensations imprinted on your hands when you first climb a mountain. You may have goals that appeal to you visually, or the large Garden you imagine in a future home is not so much for space but to hold many different plants with a variety of perfumes. Try to figure out from what you have achieved in the past and what you desire to achieve in the future, what it is that is your main motivation towards your goals. It helps, though if you have trouble, you can suggest the answer be given to you as you will see later. Some sample suggestions for beginnings might be... "I am the Director or my Life." "I have strength of suggestion and strength in mind." "I have Will, I have faith, I have Mind-power." "I have faith in the deeper rhythms of my life." "I am reaching and using deeper levels of concentration" I have practiced the suggestions without the incorporation of the "I" word but have found that a Self-referential suggestion is more effective than one without, unless the suggestion is instructional or a mantra like suggestion. Instructional suggestions can be like little reminders that are used every now and then to help you practice an exercise...Following is an exercise in which one can practice watching the thoughts and images of the mind and stay conscious as you travel deeper into a sleep like state. Exercise: Sit or lay down, close your eyes and relax in your chosen way (the one most effective for you). When you feel at least relaxed turn your attention to the thoughts and images drifting across your mind (mind drift). Focus maybe on a small dot between your eyes or on your brow and let things just drift by. So that you don't fall to sleep (at first this can happen regularly, but as long as when you begin to awaken you return to your exercise) gently repeat the following suggestions every now and then; 1. "Passively observing the mind from a quiet place" 2. "Gently touching." 3. "Gently crossing over." Choose one of the above or make one of your own. The idea is to remind yourself that you are to maintain a gentle awareness of what is drifting before you and to lightly touch the images and thoughts but not interfere with them so that you get caught up in a chain of "thinking". This is a great exercise for deepening the Hypnotic state which we can use for other purposes. |
