Our Time Line shows us how we store and represent time through our past, present and future memories. We all store and represent events on our time line and access them in many different ways. The unconscious mind will store the memories from the past allowing you to access repressed intact emotions until it can be resolved.  I will go into time line therapy and how we store time in more detail in a blog in the future so please keep reading.

Throughout life we will store our negative emotions and carry them around as baggage, this can lead to many problems such as Anger which leads to violence. Stress, leading to depression and it is also been proved that negative emotions can also lead to health problems. Time Line Therapy helps release your body from the five major negative emotions so that you can learn from them and move on in the future. Releasing you body from these emotions:

1. Anger
2. Sadness
3. Fear
4. Hurt
5. Guilt

Can help with many areas of life such as depression as this will generally be a build up of sadness and hurt. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can also be helped as this is triggered by a number of intense traumatic events such as personal assault, natural disasters, accidents and military combat. So you may ask yourself if there are any other uses for it and there are many, if you are have just lost your job and you are finding it had to deal with the stress, it can help provide clarity and get you back on your feet. It is also helpful from people wanting to lose weight and with people with anorexia as much of these causes can be triggered emotionally with pressure from the media and other significant emotional events in the past.

A deep trance state was gathered using Hypnosis with the use of metaphor and embedded commands, this allowing us to make changes at an unconscious level. There were many other deepening techniques to deepen the trance further such as fractionation, repeated induction and embedded metaphor. After the trance was to a deep level I was then able to use NLP techniques to do some more change work.

Throughout the induction anchoring was used to create the altered state and create the transformation not only for a state change but a behavioural change throughout.  This proved to be very powerful when integrating the two as it allowed for the learnings and changes to be made at an unconscious level for future learning. So we move on further and integrate some more, now using techniques used in Time Line Therapy so that the behavioural change can be made on all the past present and future memories.

Time Line Therapy was used after NLP so that the changes could be reflected over the past present and future memories allowing the subject to move on from the event and see what was to happen in the future. This has proved useful as it helps the subject to move on from the event in all areas, installing the new behaviours at the same time.  Once this was installed through past, present and future memories, I was then able to use a state of arm catalepsy allowing her to integrate and merge the past present and future memories allowing the subject to move into the future.

Finilising the trance induction, now the changes have been installed. This was done by bringing the kinesthetics (feelings) of the state and memories into the present as the subject was counted out of trance. Overall the induction was a success, with past and present memories collected for a new installed behaviour in th future. Hypnosis with a difference.

Please let me know if you have any questions, feel free to post your comments and I look forward to hearing from you.

NLP started as a model of communication, which has recently become a model of excellence modelling many successful people providing people a structure for change and improvement. NLP also modelled successful sales people, from how the generate the clients to closing the sales. This involves a bespoke approach to sales. Communication is fundamental and is often underestimated. Communication is all about rapport and we all know that we like people who are like ourselves and who share the same interests, we are at a level where we speak the same language.

Why would it be a benefit to your business?

In your company there are many different types of people and personalities each of which store information in a different way and it is therefore important we communicate to them at a level which they can understand. For example there are detailed people who need to know the detail about a product or service and big picture people for example the sales people that dont need to know all the detail and only focus on the big picture of the sale itself. So we need to speak to them at a level they understand.

This can become very important when gathering information from your clients or talking to colleagues within your business. NLP is also very effective when giving a presentation as we can establish a level of rapport with the audience and anchor different states throughout the presentation, we want to inspire our audience when giving them a presentation. Communication is all about rapport, is we have rapport with the person we are talking to they will have an interest in talking to you.

NLP is all about our behaviour and our approach and can provide a friendly atmosphere and an enjoyable working environment. If we can set our goals and our focus, with determination and an enjoyable working environment people will start to work effectively and to the best of their abilities. It will not only boost the moral for the individual but the teams.

What about if..

There are many companies in the field that are struggling to find work, or find the employees that can really make that difference to the organisation. Interviewing people can be a difficult task as there are many people going for the same jobs in this current climate we need to make sure we collect all the important information during the interview process.

Gathering requirements can be a difficult task and some of the time the client does not know exactly what they want and it is therefore important to collect and gather the right information. Businesses want to offer their clients the best they can so that they not only show what they can produce but also have repeat business. If you work behind the scenes or a front of house salesman we all need that high level of communication to get the job done. Everyone’s role within a businesses is important and we want our employees to work to the best of their abilities.

How does this all work?

As i have said many times the most important part of communication is rapport. Below is a broken down list about communication and how it works.

55% of communication is about our physiology
posture/ gesture
facial expression
breathing

35% of communication is about our voice
Tonality
Tempo
Timbre (quality of the words)
Volume

7% are the Words that are spoken
Keywords
Common Expressions
Associations

As we can see from the information above our levels of communication our important and we therefore need to become flexible communicators to effectively communicate to everyone. It is important that we know that and have sensory acuity to communicate when talking to clients and colleagues.

When selling we also need to make sure that we can provide value to them “Do you see any value in this?” If you can find a need from the client then you can establish a value that the product or service we can provide our clients. Most sales people waste 80% of their time on people who buy nothing. If you spend 80% of your time on people that are going to buy, then they will spend more time with you.

Anchors can also be useful when working as they will help boost the moral around the workplace. These are picture, sounds, feelings that associate you back to a certain place or time. There may be a picture of your loved one at your desk, reminding you of them. There maybe a picture of your favourite car that you are saving up for. Sounds can be a sound track that really gets you motivated to work. Im sure you can think of much more. Anchors can be used to stimulate many behaviours such as confidence, motivation, power, love and much more.

There are many situation where NLP can be useful in your business, what if you were about to do a sales pitch to a large company that are seeing many people and you want to put yourself in a good place against your competitor. Not only will you want the confidence when doing a sales pitch, you will also what to be an expert communicator to deliver your ideas. A business may have just started business and are gathering requirements and at this stage it is really important to make sure the client gets exactly what they want from the business. If you are a front of house salesman it is essential that you can build rapport with every person that comes into the store and again have confidence and motivation to make the sale.

There are many uses for NLP in businesses only a few that have been covered here. If you have any questions, please post you comments

 This has interested me as there are many misconceptions about if you could lie when you are under hypnosis. As Cal Banyan said, hypnosis is not a truth serum, or we could just do away with the courts.  Hypnosis is a heightened state of awareness, during trance you senses can increase significantly. Whether or not Michael Jackson has ever molested a child, we will now never truly be know.

All I know and beleive is that Michael Jackson was a pop legend and an icon who will always be know for his sensational music throughout the years. Rest In Peace King of Pop

Hypnosis uses many different techniques and language patterns to induce trance states within people. Suggestions are used throughout a hypnosis induction for the subject to make changes and post hypnotic suggestions are used to install behavioural changes in the future, outside of the trance state.  There are many more but I wont detail them all here.

There are many of you that may have seen a hypnosis stage show, where they will make the subject act like i chicken or randomly dance on stage. These are exactly how they come across, as a stage show.  The hypnotist will find someone in the audience that meets certain characteristics, and who is likely follow the suggestions given by the hypnotist and will then carry out the post hypnotic suggestion given in trance (to act like a chicken).

Now, as this case is correct and the subject will carry out the suggestions this will be within the subjects value system. People will not do anything against their values, meaning if someone were told to rob a bank they would not do it as it is against their values and the same goes with hypnosis. Hypnosis is a heightened state of awareness, you will be significantly more aware of the sounds around you when you are in a trance and also the environment. There are many stages of trance and you may not realise but we go in and out of trance all the time, for example when we are watching television or driving a car.

It has been proved that you have to be brainwashed to do anything against you values, there are many stages to brainwashing and they are as follows:

1. You have to have removal from your environment of influence.
   
2. You have to have sleep deprivation
   
3. You will be given pain if you disagree and pleasure if you agree.
   
4. There will also need to be a change in your biochemistry. This will need drugs!

I hope that has cleared up any misconceptions, if you have any questions please post your comments

Both myself and other hypnotherapist enjoy the experience of trance and have yet to find many limitation of hypnosis of what it can and cannot do.  I am today going to discuss my experience that I have recently had using David Elmans hypnosis techniques.

Experiencing Dave Elmans hypnosis induction techniques again has once again been a very profound experience of peace, tranquility and relaxation. The hypnotist, of whom is very experienced with many different hypnosis techniques helped me to reach a deep state of trance in a relatively short space of time. The experience is much different than Milton Erickson indirect permissive hypnosis styles.

The induction used was a short induction taking long induction, taking as long as 20 mins which offered a wide range of techniques and suggestions. Guided by the hypnotist I was able to clear my train of thought and focus on the changes that were taking place. The language used was very direct with intonations used throughout, during the induction I experienced arm catalepsy, where i could make all the changes necessary to move on. Throughout the induction there were slight hints of the use of Ericksonian hypnosis, providing ambiguity and the opportunity for creativity and imagination using the main representational systems. 

After the induction we both felt fully refreshed and full of energy, during the next few days I was able relax and keep focus on the weekend and the work that is ahead. Overall the experimental session was a success, giving each of us the opportunity to experiment the use of Elman hypnosis techniques.
