Michael White presents: KnowMoreTrances!

This is me! This is not me!

A generous portion of personal getting smarter, healthier, and awake, involves noticing when we are not connected (disassociated) to our inherent Awesome and connected (associated) to our "crap trances".  Once we recognize this, life becomes a game of figuring out the best way to switch it around forever!  EFT will help with this adventure.

For this tapping exercise, tap on the meridian points and alternate the phrases, "this is me!" and "this is not me!" over and over.  See what presents itself, and tap for specific examples when they reveal themselves to you.

That's it! Enjoy.

Destroy your greatest works of art! How to breathe out the energy of your worst problems!

This is going to be an expanded podcast.

I want you to focus your mind for a moment and think of your biggest problem.  Examples include:  An addiction, indecisiveness, anxiety, depression, etc.  Whatever.

Good, now I want you to see a representation of that in your mind.  It could be filled with color and have a border and shape, really notice the details.  I want you to think of these as your masterpieces, priceless and cherished above all.  We're going to ruin them, how's that sound?

Now I want you to breathe in through your nose and imagine the breath filling that image like smoke between two panes of glass.  See how it swirls?  Notice how you are irreparably damaging your greatest works of art?  Excellent.  It's like throwing a bunch of lighter fluid on "Starry Night" and pulling out the zippo.  Neat!

Good!  Now breathe out and feel the energy of your problem draining away.  Notice how the image now is transparent, or has lost a good portion of its color.  Perhaps it's a shell of its former self?  Good.

If it is reducing in little chunks, no problem, just keep breathing until it's all drained out.  You'll know when that happens, you'll feel better than you've felt in a long time.

Repeat for all problems, if you have difficulties, call upon all of your wonderful resources and the resources of the Universe to help you!  The unconscious mind is a conduit for the Intelligence of everything.  I think.  Either way, just do it!

The Swish Pattern

My friend, Vince Black, runs a new yahoo group titled, "persuasivecommunication".  He describes how to do the swish pattern in a thorough and elegant fashion.  If you take an NLP course and don't learn the swish, it's questionable that you are in a course that is effective.  Just saying. 

Well, let's not worry about that at all because you can read about it here!

Oh and if you have questions about, "states", "low arc/high arc", "pacing" or other strange terms, you can ask me, or better yet, go to the source and join the group here! 

How to do Kick Ass Swish Patterns!

1. Elicit the picture of the state that is no longer desired

2. Set it aside into the past. It should be obvious why we set it into the past.
We are setting a pattern from the beginning so that every thing we do when setting the swish
up, is to be congruent with the way it will actually work when we drop it into your
unconscious. So move from the low arc to the high arc. Set less then useful states into the
past.

3. Elicit new powerful very useful state. Elicit it in the future. That is where
we will use this behavior. Build in everything that you need. This is going to be your behavior
so make it the best that it can possibly be. Notice the sub-modalities. Future pace
(imagine this in your future) this new behavior. How does it work across all context. Does it
need adjusting? Your unconscious will let you know if it does. If so, adjust the
behavior until it fits. When building this behavior, more often than not you will want to make it
an example of a direction. This is usually more useful than just designing in one very
specific behavior.

Example: swishing out of anger in traffic. Instead of just swishing into a calm
state, swish yourself into an example of someone who has choice in their behaviors, someone
who engages in elegant behaviors. You will see yourself in this new behavior vs.
being associated. It is more compelling that way. When building the new state we can
"wire" several useful states together using an anchor collapse. (see building
foundation states.)

4. Tailor the swish pattern for you. We will look at the visual of the new
state. With size, brightness and color, or distance. Test each separately. Make the visual bigger,
put it back,etc. Which effects your kinesthetics most powerfully? (will go into depth later
about how to do this most accurately and powerfully)

5. Now that you have discovered which sub-modality effects you the most
dramatically we will customize the swish for that particular one. Size: take less than useful
state bring it up, disassociated, in front of you. Put new state in corner. Just as you start
to associate you will shrink old pic down while rapidly expanding new state. For distance
just as you start to associate into old state, new state will fly off from distance shatter
old pic and get right up in your face. For color and brightness, just as you start to associate
into old pic it will white out and the new state will color up. If you are working by yourself
you will probably want to do this at least three times with a break state in between each
time.
Quickness is the key. The brain learns better quickly.

Notes:  This is designed behavior, you are installing it. Make it great. We must
see ourselves in the new behavior. This is how we lead ourselves. Same as modeling. When we
model we must see the person behaving. When the new behavior snaps into place really let
it hit you.

A simple timeline game!

This game is a lot of fun!  Wherever you're at, be sure to get comfortable and observant because we are going to elicit your timeline.

The "traditional" structured timeline in NLP is for people to have their pasts organized off to their left and their futures organized off to their right and their presents straight in front of them. 

The more I do this though the more I find people will break this rule of organization.  Remember NLP is about learning, it's an attitude that requires curiosity. I used to just jump in and say, "You know how you put your past off to your left?"  And some people would go, "oh wow how did you know?" But a good number would look at me like I'm crazy!

So now I ask questions.  "What color was your first car?"  "What did you eat for dinner two nights ago?"  "Is it possible that you could eat chicken tomorrow night?" and I explain that I am getting an idea as to how they structure their timeline.  Where they "place" things.  It's a game!

Once they understand this, I have them pretend to put their entire timeline out in front of them so that they can be an observer and learn.

And then I have them place their past out at a 45 degree angle away from them on their left and their future out at 45 degree angle away from them off to the right.  This is so they can see everything.  It' like a  wide "V" lying down with the person standing at the bottom most point. 

They can see all the way back to their childhoods and way off into their futures.

And since they are separated from the timeline, it can shift easily. This is important because I want the person to stay in their body with all of their resources as they shift his past forward.  It comes forward to a point where something happened that they'd like to change and the timeline stops at the moments before the event occured.  This is so they can experience the past before presented with whatever it was that screwing up their lives and this is where we're going to start!  It's like during the Civil War when the surgeon would cut above the gangreous infection on the healthy part of the leg.  Hooray! 

And I say something like this:  I don't want you to come back to NOW any sooner than it takes for your unconscious mind to reevaluate, and change every similar experience that has limited you in the past so that you can come back to present  and move forward into the future free of these limitations now and forever!  Commit to taking the time to do this! Now!

That's some nice and healthy hypnotic language folks!  And it works.  The client usually takes a deep breath and relaxs, the skin tone changes as well as the tone of the muscles of the face.  And then we test.  Always test to be sure the problem has changed completely and that the changes will be ecological for the person.  You'll know your answer within seconds.  If more work is required, start again!  Have fun, use this game as way to change your life is powerful and exciting ways!

A glimpse at a session with a Master!

I'm going to paraphrase a session I had with someone I highly respect.  I am paraphrasing a bit because I was kind of out of it!  Way deep in a trance.  This section is about changing memories to release the imagination!

Him:  I want you to, while sitting in that chair, swivel around in your mind and look at the memories that you have put behind you.  These are the ones you don't want to see anymore...

At this point, I have to describe that the experience of swiveling was like being in one of those turret guns in the Millenium Falcon and my memories that I had placed behind me were like stars.

Him:  I want you to see all of those memories in your mind and reevaluate all of them so that they are going to serve your highest benefit starting now and moving forward for the rest of your life.  Can you see this happening?

Me:  Yes.

The stars changed colors, some grew brighter, others swirled around.  I was really tripping out.  It was cool and a little scary.

Him:  Can you feel your body shifting as this is happening?

Me:  Yes.

Him:  Do you notice how quickly this occurs?

Me: Almost instantly.

Him:  Almost instantly.  Can you tell me how much lag time is between the stars changing for your highest benefit and the feeling that it is changing in your body?

Me:  Instantly.

HIm:  Yes, there is no reason to wait is there?

Me:  Sometimes.

Him:  Yes.  When?

Me:  When I'm being stubborn and don't want it to change.

Him:  Why?

Me:  Because...

Him:  Why?

Me:  Because it's still useful the way it looks>

Him:  Yes.  Even if it hurts you?

Me:  Yes.

Him:  Why?

Me:  Because they must pay.

HIm:  Yes. Yes.  Yes.

At this point we talked about how I can either finish my tales of vengeance (thank you R.) in my mind or hang onto them as long as I wanted.  They started shifting on my own as if they were self regulating at this point.  I really wish I had better words to describe the experience, I guess you'll have to use your imagination.

Tales of vengeance.  I love how we turned my truths into fictions that are possible best sellers!  Enjoy your Thanksgivings everyone!

Yet another great NLP presupposition

People always make the best choice in any given context.

To some that might mean, "Yes I WILL have another hit off that crack pipe!"

If you can understand this fully, you can make better choices like, "Nah, one's enough for today!"
