Hypnotic Temperature Fun Fun Fun

Experiential hypnosis is interesting in one way in that it can create physical sensations where no physical stimuli are present. For instance, in this video from my Happy Hypnomind performance in Taipei, the volunteers are given suggestions of temperature change when no such change occurs. Notice that different folks react in their own way to the suggestions but that physical sensations do occur.

If you can't see the included video here because you are reading this blog post via a Facebook note or Hypnothoughts sidebar or some other stream service, then go to the original post on my blog at http://briandavidphillips.typepad.com/brian/ to access the full post with any videos or photos included.

Obviously, you can very likely imagine a number of contexts in which someone could use this sort of setup.  Certainly as a comedy or recreational process it has many applications.

We will be exploring improvisational and creative ways of achieving similar effects off-the-cuff during the Walkabout Trance Beach Resort Getaway (the improvisational speed street hypnosis event coming Aug. 15-16 at http://walkabouttrancebeachresortgetaway.blogspot.com).

Hand Energy Hypnosis

From our series of encore video clips that showcase explorations on various approaches to hypnosis and experiential trance related to sensuality, the erotic, bliss, positive emotional suggestions, and physical responsiveness . . . Here is a short video clip of Japanese master hypnotist Red from the "Red Hypnosis DX-9" program. The sequence features an expectancy-based hand energy technique in a hypnosis session. There is no nudity or the like in this clip but the original program features erotic hypnosis, very explicit adult videos, albeit this clip is tame compared to much or their material.

Youtube Woes . . . is the interweb thingie broken or is it just me?

Grrrr.  I've got a million youtube videos . . . . okay, maybe not a million but getting to within very close sights of a couple hundred . . . unfortunately, can't seem to watch any of 'em right now.  So, if you see a big hole in the blog where a video should be it's probably a youtube clip.  Video goole embeds seem to be okay but the youtube seems to be a mass of broken nothing right now.  Hopefully it's not just me (sorry for wishing ill on you all but if it's just me then I've no clue how to fix it but if the internet youtube thingie is broken then I have faith that hundreds of code monkeys are busily working to get it fixed).  I don't have anything to back it up but I suspect that the Michael Jackson video shares of late have likely increased as millions of fans and not-so-fans are sharing videos and putting tons of load on the whole interweb thingie.  Hopefully things will get back to normal.  I've a ton of videos in the queue too so if you get a blank box post, please be patient and come back to my blog later to try to view.

ADDENDUM: Bummer and a whole lot of bummocity.  Checked with another browser and it looks like the problems today may be all on my lonesome.  With Internet Explorer, my videos are showing up no problem but with Firefox the youtubes are all gone.  Unfortunately, I prefer Firefox and it's got all my bookmarks.  Grrrrrr.  Dagnabbit!

All the best,
Brian

Employer Costs of Unhealth Prevention and Healthy Worker Investments

As part of their long term plan in keeping employees healthy in order to foster a healthier more productive workspace, Washington and Lee University now subsidizes a number of health programs for employees.  One of those programs is to help smokers stop via hypnosis as well as beginning plans for a weight loss hypnosis group:

"W&L also pays half the cost of classes for smoking cessation through hypnosis, and plans to start a weight loss hypnosis group."

This makes perfect since when you consider the costs of unhealth in the workplace:

"The research shows that healthy employees experience less sick time, take fewer disability days and suffer less risk of premature death," Snead said. There is also a reduction in workers compensation, and what she calls "presenteeism," where employees are at work but not getting anything accomplished because of stress in their lives. According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 75 percent of an employer's health care costs and productivity losses are related to employee lifestyle choices. And each dollar invested in wellness programs saves three dollars in health care costs, according to the Wellness Council of America.

See the complete piece at http://www.newsleader.com/article/20090708/NEWS01/90708004/1002/news01/W&L+aims+for+healthy+employees.

Those of you in Taiwan, can feel free to contact us about your own health related hypnosis sessions or other hypnosis programs.

All the best,
Brian

Go to http://walkabouttrancebeachresortgetaway.blogspot.com now and complete your registration now.

Instant Happiness Hypnosis

I am considered something of an expert on speed hypnosis . . . and that's only because I am and I am rather well known for my work with associating positive emotional and physical responses within trance sessions, particularly erotic or happy response sets but which can be adapted to any number of contexts . . . so, here's a clip from our Engineering eXperiential Ecstasy DVD set which demonstrates one of the many ways one can induce hypnosis very quickly and very quickly tie it into a very positive emotional response state. Yes, we will be learning these things in the August seminar at Redondo Beach . . . the Walkabout Trance Beach Resort Getaway and the Erotic Hypnosis seminar are both shaping to be something rather awesome.

Energizer on Walkabout Trance

Yesterday, I posted a private one-on-one session of an Energizer pattern. In that post, I said that the pattern could be adapted to many different contexts. Well, it can also be used in many different situations or locations. In this video from a Walkabout Trance excursion we had back on 18 December 2005, I run the pattern with a young woman as a first-ever trance experience out of doors in an extremely busy location that is rather noisy (we're by the entrance to the Taipei Zoo on a busy day) and to top that off, I run the pattern bilingually as I speak in English and the young woman listens to Chinese interpretation. Trust me, if I can have a successful response with all that going on, you can use the pattern successfully too.

Energizer

Some of my regular readers are already familiar with the Energizer and how it can be used in multiple contexts. The video included with this post comes from a collection on Suggestibility Fun that I created some time ago. The Energizer was originally created within the seduction community but I have adapted it to metaphysical, walkabout, entertainment, and recreational use. Since I live in Asia, the metaphor works wonderfully as there are qigong practices that use similar approaches to the visualization of energy.

Happy Balloons for Independance Day

Let's do another mini-flood, this time of Happy Balloons with a second installment. This is from our upcoming Exotic Hypnosis Inductions DVD and really has nothing to do with the US Independance Day but since it's July 4, we'll pretend it does anyway. Honestly, we're posting these just because I happen to simply like this patter.

If you can't see the video here because you are reading this blog post via a Facebook note or Hypnothoughts sidebar or other stream, then go to the original post on my blog at http://briandavidphillips.typepad.com/brian/ to access the full post with any videos or photos included.

Obviously, you can very likely imagine a number of contexts in which someone could use this sort of setup.  Certainly as a comedy or recreational process it has many applications.

We will be exploring improvisational and creative ways of achieving similar effects off-the-cuff during the Walkabout Trance Beach Resort Getaway (the improvisational speed street hypnosis event coming Aug. 15-16 at http://walkabouttrancebeachresortgetaway.blogspot.com).

From our series of encore video clips that showcase explorations on various approaches to hypnosis and experiential trance related to sensuality, the erotic, bliss, positive emotional suggestions, and physical responsiveness . . . This is a short clip from the "Bubble Hypnosis" program. The sequence features a hypnotic suggestion in which a young woman feels very extremely erotic sensations at the touch of a glass. There is no nudity or the like in this clip but the original program features erotic hypnosis, very explicit adult videos, albeit this clip is tame compared to much or their material.

Hypnosis for Performance Anxiety or Stage Fright

I received the following query via Facebook and thought I would share the question and the brief answer here for others with similar questions:

"Hey Brian - have you worked with performance anxiety clients before? I was wondering what kind of approach you would take when dealing with something like this? Would you regress them? What kind of script might you use for suggestions? Do you give them an anchor to use when they go off to perform? Thanks for your thoughts!"

Yes, I have worked with performance anxiety.  Quite a bit.  I work with actors and singers and athletes and musicians and dancers and other performers and stage fright or performance anxiety is just one of the bugaboos one has to face if you have any hope of genuine success in performance fields.

Actually, while I started burrowing into the world of hypnosis when I was very young, it wasn't until I was doing my graduate work in communication/theatre where we had a special program that targeted helping those with communication anxiety that I began formal studies in hypnosis.  Back in the stone age, we used progressive relaxation and a form of desensitization therapy.  Basically, it's conditioning.  Relax the client, deep relaxation, incorporating visualizations such as a garden or forest or beach or somewhere else that conjures up the relaxation response then slowly introduce the idea of being in a performance situation (start with less powerful images before working into more stressful situations).  When the client feels stress, they lift a finger and you immediately discontinue the stress image and go right back into the relaxation mode.  Once relaxation is back, introduce another stress image.  The theory is that one cannot be relaxed and tense at the same time and by progressively conditioning a relaxation response you are eventually programming that response to what was a stress event.

Today, one would use deep relaxation anchors to fire during the stress tests in a much more efficient manner.

You would also use things like Six Step Reframe or the Fast Phobia Cure from NLP (although I strongly suggest you use formal hypnosis when using any NLP patterns).

I tend to use a form of hypnoanalysis that includes gestalt processes with regression and/or parts therapy today but the relaxation conditioning is an excellent supplement.  I would never recommend a person use regression with a client unless they've had specific training for it.

3D Mind or EFT have been beneficial for many folks as well as Core Transformation.

There is no one way to approach this.  Actually, I would suggest learning several approaches so that you can more effectively find an approach in the moment that seems to be most effective for a particular client within a particular context.

I hope this has been helpful.

All the best,
Brian

Happy Balloons

As you watch this brief video of me performing the Happy Balloons patter during my Short Sharp Shock hypnosis show for CTS television, keep in mind that this may seem very straightforward and simple - and it is - but that it can also be used as a jumping off point for any sort of emotional effect tied into physical response.

Uri Geller, Michael Jackson, hypnosis, and truth or lies

With the death of pop sensation Michael Jackson, a lot of folks are coming out of the woodwork to say their final farewells (excellent memorial pieces have been posted by Lisa-Marie Presley [here] and Deepak Chopra [here]) and others to capitalize on the media frenzy for their own publicity. Naturally, the pres will revisit some things we've seen before.

I've posted discussion on Uri Geller's claims that he hypnotized Michael Jackson and got the "truth" about Jackson's "innocence" regarding Jackson's child molestation charges (http://briandavidphillips.typepad.com/brian/2005/06/uri_gellers_rep.html). Now, he's talking about it gain. In this video, which is now making the rounds in the hypnosis blogosphere as well as mainstream celebrity blogs and the like, he describes what the questions were and how they were answered.

As regular readers know from my previous discussion (posted here four years ago 21 June 2005 - http://briandavidphillips.typepad.com/brian/2005/06/uri_gellers_rep.html) of this incident, from previous descriptions I didn't think Geller was much of a hypnotist nor much of a critical thinker . . . that assessment is unchanged.

While Geller claims that Jackson was in very deep trance for their session, that does not change the fact that persons can indeed lie while in hypnosis. A trained forensic hypnotist knows better than to hypnotize a suspect and ask them questions regarding guilt in cases like this. It is a myth that hypnosis is always a truth serum, deep trance or not.

Interestingly, Geller also admits to unethical behavior in this interview as well. Jackson was coming to him for help in an unrelated issue and Geller attempts to take advantage of the situation by asking questions and pursuing lines of inquiry that have nothing to do with what he was asked to deal with. So, not only is Geller a poorly trained hypnotist - or at least one who needs to learn a bit more about forensic procedures and clean session work - he's also an unethical one.

Granted, one can see how he was tempted . . . the whole world wanted the answers to those questions . . . but, giving into temptation is another matter.

Jackson's guilt or innocence in regard to the child molestation charges is not the subject of this post . . . perhaps some day information will come to light that proves the point beyond gut feelings on the issue . . . but that information has nothing to do with the single hypnosis session Uri Geller conducted at that time.

Long term readers of Life of Brian (http://briandavidphillips.typepad.com/brian) are already very familiar with my views on forensic hypnosis (evidence-seeking hypnosis) and my thoughts on it being of paramount importance that hypnotists working in such areas must be competent and clearly understand and use clean session language (that is hypnosis with no preconceptions or leading statements) as well as a clear understanding of the rules of evidence and the possibility of contamination of testimony in order to learn to appropriately avoid such things (honestly, had Jackson's case gone to trial, Geller could have damaged his friend's defense in that the prosecution had an open door to question any statements he made after that date due to the dangers of his recollection having been hypnotically refreshed or contaminated in the process).

All the best,
Brian

Hypnoaddiction

Here's another question that has come in via email.  This one from a fellow who has says he stumbled across some hypnofetish sites run by hypnodommes who have mp3s and the like related to dominating men and some of the site rhetoric proclaims that the male customers will become addicted to serving and pleasing the dominatrixes.  He was particularly surprised as a number of the women who run hypnodomme sites say they are certified hypnotherapits.

Our correspondent contacted at least one of the women who runs such a site telling her he thought she sounded like a sexual predator and her response was that he was overthinking it and that for the most part such businesses are all consensual roleplay.  He wrote a letter to me detailing his concerns and asks some questions based upon my opinion.

"Can you addict someone to or with hypnosis? Can you create compulsions or obsessions with this art form. Or is it all pretend because that is all it ever could be?"


Consensually, absolutely, but it would not be likely that a genuine personality order would be installed in simple audio-only sessions such as CDs or in the context of the roleplay associated with many hypnodomme type services.  If a person wishes to accept those sorts of suggestions and they are genuinely following the suggestions, then . . . yes.  But . . . it would still only go so far in such a context.  There are probably a few folks out there with undifferentiated personalities who might have difficulty distinguishing between the fantasy and the reality but these would be folks who would have difficulty living a normal life outside of their golf club or bowling league.

"The lady I wrote to said I was over-thinking this. What do you think?"


Overthinking, very likely.

Some of the hypno-fetish material seems disturbing but it is still within the realm of consensual fantasy, with or without genuine hypnosis - much of the hypnoporn is roleplay as well.

For the most part, despite what may appear to be hardcore manhating rhetoric, most hypnodommes understand that they are working for clients who hire them for a particular fantasy experience.  Very few are lifestyle dommes beyond an intimate relationship with one or very few individuals.  The throngs of admirers tend to be from a distance, safely online.

There are folks who do indeed use erotic and D/s suggestions within their lives (I teach erotic hypnosis and do have some MP3s available) but most don't go in the extreme direction that some of the hypnodommes go.  There are a few hypnodommes who do indeed come off as sexual predators - or just simply moneygrubbing manhaters - and some of them are also "certified" hypnotherapists but do not confuse this certification with therapy training or licensing.  Some are competent caring individuals and some are not.  I would like to point out that I've personally met a several hypnodommes at hypnosis functions of one sort or another and found a number to be genuinely delightful individuals as well as caring and competent hypnotists.  I've also come across some rather trashy sleazy types . . . but that could also be said of the general hypnosis community as well.

Sure, hypnoaddiction or simply surrendered personalities can result from a form of consensual conditioning, but most of the pay sites, most of which are a sort of commercial intimate roleplay, would not fall into that sort of thing at any substantial real level.  Folks with genuine in-person relationships might have more of a chance for that sort of thing, but even then it would need to be based upon more than a single session of delivering suggestions (remember, hypnosis is a consensual construct).  Certainly, it is possible, just not as likely within the constructs of the random mp3 listen from a pay site of that sort, at least not non-consensually.

I hope this has been helpful.

All the best,
Brian
