Those of you who have been regular readers of this blog know that we’ve recently been through a winter of discontent and spent some time south of the border. Now that spring has arrived in Michigan I thought it was time to give my blog a facelift with new header images, a new title, and new overarching theme: Embracing Reality. The theme is a result of my having been influenced by a saying from Byron Katie’s book, Loving What Is, in which she says that When you argue with reality, you lose—but only 100 percent of the time.

If you have been following Debra’s and my attendance at various conferences and meetings this year, you already know that we’ve been hanging out with some of the best healers in the country. This article describes the interventions I have received along the way, primarily for my principal presenting problem of hearing loss. My hearing had been declining for at least the last 10 years. One of the things about hearing loss is that it is subtle.

Debra and I have just returned from the 37th Annual TFH Conference, where I experienced two powerful healing sessions from people attending the conference. But first, a bit of background information: The training complex, “Hamburger University,” was connected to the Hyatt Lodge by a walking bridge over Lake Fred, which I suspect was named for Fred Turner, who followed . . . → Read More: Wellness for All Comments are closed Blog acupuncture, Anchoring, ASL, auditory, Bruce Lipton, Bulbrook, Chicago, chiropractic, conscious intent, crystal consciousness, Danny McLane, Darren Weissman, Debra Basham, deep trance, Donna Eden, embedded commands, Energy Medicine, Hamburger University, healing touch, health, Hyatt, hypnosis, ICIM, imagine healing, Jane Frey, Kinesiology, kinesthetic, Lake Fred, Lee Lawrence, Lifeline Technique, Mary Jo, Mary Jo Bulbrook, massage, McDonalds, modalities, muscle testing, NLP, Oak Brook, Pam James, Richard Bandler, Robert Maldonado, San Antonio, seek and ye shall find, Sheldon C.

A number of other news sources used the following wording: Study: Potency after prostate cancer varies widely. And other headlines put it this way: Sex After Prostate Cancer: New Study Helps Predict Erectile Function Post-Treatment Which of the headlines is a hypnotic command promoting impotence for those facing prostate surgery? I suspect that most readers of this blog know that “Doctors predict impotence after prostate treatment” is a form of “doctor hypnosis.” One of my videos on . . . → Read More: Why Everyone Needs to Know Hypnosis Comments are closed Blog advanced language patterns, advertising, alcohol, alcohol advocacy, commercials, heart disease, hypnosis, hypnotic language, impotence, language, medical personnel, medication, metaphor, movie, movies, nurse, presuppositions, product placement, Richard Bandler, stories, story, TV, video, you tube With apologies to the Beatles and “A Day in the Life”: One of my daily habits is reading through the major online news sources to get a sense of what is happening here in the U.S. and in the world. I often find it fascinating to see what subjects are drawing the most media attention—and the kind of attention they are attracting. Here’s a brief round-up of recent “stuff”: Placebos are in the news (again): One of the things I find most interesting about placebos is that articles about them written by medical doctors studiously avoid the word . . . → Read More: I Read the News Today (Oh, Boy) Comments are closed Blog A Day in the Life, advertising, Beatles, belief, Chicago, corrupts, debt, deficit, Detroit, economy, evidence, experience, fiscal, history, hotel maid, hypnosis, IMF, Internet, John Edwards, Korzybski, lamestream, leaders, Lord Acton, map, media, men, metamodel, news, NLP, placebos, platitudes, political, politicians, politics, power, primaries, pundits, question, reality, Republican, Sarah Palin, scandal, Schwartzeneger, talking points, tax rates, taxation, taxes, territory, TV, Twitter, U.S., unemployment, Weiner If you’ve been paying attention for the past 20 or 30 years, you’ve probably noticed that “Science” keeps changing its mind about a lot of things. Also, if you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ve probably noticed that Galileo’s “problems” with the Catholic Church have been a recurring theme. It seems to me that the conflict between “science” and “faith” is at the center of a number of what might be called “modern problems.” Problems of the sort that Galileo had with the Church have, of course, occurred in a variety of ways over the years.

It’s the rule.” The fact is that people—you, me, and everyone—tend to be in one trance or another most of the time. It is more a matter of which trance you are in rather than whether you are in trance. What we think of as “normal consciousness” is just one kind of trance with a particular set of beliefs.

Details have always been important, of course, but they are often overlooked. A TV show I saw recently had a couple of detectives enter a mosque to talk to the Imam. He has them leave their shoes in the entryway. We see them remove their shoes, and we watch the female detective use her shawl to cover her head. We watch them have their chat with the Imam, and then we watch them leave the mosque without stopping to put their shoes back on before hitting the cold and . . . → Read More: Details Comments are closed Blog advanced language patterns, architect, attention, awareness, Big Three, butt, communication, congruence, conscious, details, difference, difference that makes a difference, excellence, expertise, eye-accessing, fast phobia cure, hypnosis, Imam, language, learning curve, left-brain, mosque, mouth, NLP, phobia, practice, predicates, PTSD, research, Richard Bandler, right-brain, sales, sense-based, shoes, sleight-of-mouth, slight, subjective, submodalities, training, TV, unconscious, van, visual |
