| There are different kinds of hypnotic procedures. Some "guided meditations" use hypnotic procedures.
I have used the "meditation" tape provided by the FHU (used it in the 1960s). Which is titled "How your mind can keep you well".
The concept is that we can be manipulated through our emotions by other people. If they get us upset, mad, fearfull, etc. they are controlling the situation. Through your own anger people can hypnotically gain control over your behavior while you believe you act out of free will. The tape helps to counter-act that by repeating the suggestion that you should "over look and make allowances" for the mean things people say or do to you. This gives you distance and time to think first, by not not employing impulsive reactions you can deal with things in a calm and therefore logical manner.
This has nothing to do with hypnotically making people believe in God or such nonsense.
Next is learnng how to remain apart from praise and other "nice" things people do to hypnotically get you to do their will.
And like the old love and hate cycles that keep a person enslaved to their hypnotic master. All the tricks are brought to the light of understanding so that you cannot be decieved by them.
It is a anti-hypnotic procedure to set people free. And in that calmer state to become more aware of what's happening so that those insights you gain can work as an innate guidence from within.
This can cause some falling out with old friends who are used to you reacting emotionally, as they start to loose control over you they will think you have become a Zombie. If you boss cannot upset you he will think that you don't care about your job. Etc.
But new friends will appear as well as new jobs. Once you are good at it you can pretend to be "very concerned" for the boss, to keep the job.
But not really motivated by him/her.
Remember the guy in the movie Office Space. And the effect his hypnotic relaxation had on his work attitudes, well, this is not like that.
But a little like that.
It is called the fore-knowledge procedure (also). If I told you that I would say something to up-set you then you would be prepared and would not fall prey to my attempts to do so. Using the tape in the morning prepares you to expect people to try to upset you so that you are prepared and looking forward to the chance to "overlook and make allowances". (aka-forgive - but not as hind-site - but in the moment as fore-site).
Well enough for now... I am starting to sound like some disciple and that is one of my taboos. |
