| Have You Been to Never-Never Land?
My experience of NLP and hypnosis has to date been that they are 2 different subjects, the more I learn about NLP the less significant hypnosis is becoming.
I used to think that my hypnosis skills were not up to scratch as the results I were getting did not meet my expectations. Taking these experiences as an opportunity to focus my learning I enrolled on a Stage Hypnosis course where I learned that my hypnotic induction skills were actually quite good but the reason for my frustrating experience when being hypnotised myself and inducting others was that my expectations were way off.
Can anybody else relate to this?
I was expecting an almost catatonic state where I would be away with the fairies or mentally off in ‘never-never land’, I am very sad that my expectations were so off target.
If I made a video recording of what I did on the course, with clever editing I could look like a fricking genius to any unknowing onlookers and so now my love for Derren Brown like tricks have also evaporated, very clever but easily done.
You know that feeling when you see a very clever magic or card trick that left you wondering, excited and bemused with a confusion you associate with memories from when you were a child. Then when you find out the deck of cards was rigged or you get to see magic trick revealed and you are left with a void of nothing positive, I miss the bemused excitement.
