Hi and Welcome (BACK)
In this article I am going to explore some of the ideas of a learning process called unconscious installation, that is typically found in some schools of NLP, these are my own interpretations, based on over a decade of learning and exploration, this article is dedicated to a friend of mine and you will find out who he is at the end of this article.
Today I am going to do a few thing’s to help get you playing with the nuts and bolts of using conversational hypnosis and I will be blending both basic and some advanced learning applications along the way- first we have a few ground rules, and then we can start playing- first rule if your just going to read this and not “do the exercises”- now, then you need to stop and come <back> when you are ready to play now- they are a number of thing’s happening at the same time here, ear, hear that over time you will get, yet first things first, we have to <go back> to that time and place, <where learning new things “began”> so we have to go <back-to-kindergarten/nursery/pre-school etc.>- or at least play with that playful mind set has a child and start with what we already know now, yet <anew back there in new ways> so has I mark out some of the patterning, I am doing with these <-> symbols you can allow them to not be part of what your not noticing as you are.- enjoying the way in which I am presenting these ideas.
One of the first thing’s to start paying Attention to if you want to get really good with conversational hypnosis is paying Attention and building response potential at the other than conscious level of mind- So as a friend of mine was kind enough to point out a few things to me the other day, I though I would dedicate this to him, and share just a little bit of just how refined and advanced, I this stuff can be, and to show that things are not always as they seem.
So we need to pay Attention and Layer in a series of connections that set up a series of associations- and a direction to place them in and through and between times with a number of potentials, for powerful change works now, yet as we are doing this in a very conversational way, then we need to make sure that the associations or anchors we build, within our communications, are recognized by the other than conscious mind, and this is done through response potential- and a consistent on going testing to make sure that we are building in chains of resourceful states- and responses to specific words, phrases and gestures, (Visual & Auditory anchors) now because this is a written example, then I have adopted a few symbols to help me point out a few possibilities- and ideas to stand out.
Now if we just go BACK a little – we have our first two, too, to, 2 (tutu) potentials Attention & Layer so we have to pay attention to the responses we want to Layer in, when we are using our skills in conversational hypnosis- once we know what we’re paying Attention to………, we then have to look at the idea of a “Whole-System” frame work and start playing with the context, and what content are we using to place our ideas into and on-to, what components of the “Whole-System” are we paying special attention too?
What makes up this “Whole-System” is it you and someone else? Or you and a group of people? What type of relationships are involved? family, friends, business? What environments are you in? home, out in the world i.e. nightclub, restaurant gym, etc, business your place of work or theirs? or some where else? what advantage and limitations are being set and created by environments? Then we have more personal aspects of the human systems, beliefs, values, attitudes, capabilities, motivations etc. how are these working? once we have this overview, then we can start to build our Hypothesis based on our “Whole-System” frame works- the idea is to work out the limitations within the system so we can build in a series of Inoculations- and to notices the advantages within the system, so we can use them as leverage points- So Inoculation is an important next step and by creating and building in Inoculations- “we” have a very powerful way- to build in and design very powerful applications within- the way we present new ideas and learning’s to the other than conscious mind, because we want to create a multi level commutation- one where the conscious mind is taken in one direction, and the other than conscious mind is taken in another- and the aim is to align both, so we get a “Whole-System” integration-
So lets go Back and recap what we have so far, we have Attention, Layer, “Whole-System”, Hypothesis and Inoculation, each part is a stepping stone, and one of the many ways to go about thinking about how to apply a frame work- when applying the art of conversational hypnosis- to any context in the world, comes from plying Attention to how language functions, now we have some very powerful ways to use language- the way we use Time based language- time based language allows use to change the context and content references people create to host their problems- and Time frames are one of the most powerful ways in which we can accelerate change works-
Now we have the past, the future and the present, “right now” you know this because “before” I pointed it out it was only a possibility that I would make a future reference to this- and now that is over, you now know- that something different could have happened where you would have noticed knew learning’s happening BACK there before we ever started at the beginning and something was being set up in the future where a set of associations- would grab your attention and layer in a set of ideas, with in a whole system of presenting a hypothesis- that would allow you-a frame work where you could use inoculation in useful and powerful ways, and have a glimpse of how (Time) based language can be used, which leads us to Testing for responses- now a vital key in doing any type of conversational hypnosis is to lead, lead, lead, that means running the show, yes you have to pace at (times and test) then lead again-and being mindful of all the chains and anchors and layered states you have and are building along the way once you have confirmed your response potentials- by firing off your anchors- that you have taken the (time to test)- once you have done that- then we can add in more Options- what else do we what to work with? add into create or by-pass the ideas on to your other than conscious mind that you are learning a lot more than you thought was possible, and we can open up many Options here, because this is really the playground, were we can chuck up into the presuppositions and gestalt’s of whole life metaphors- and create the dreams and the goals and the plans, or we can chunk down into the specifics, the how, where, when, who, what, and the why of possibility- and then we have the Next step- what’s next so we loop BACK to the beginning – and this is in effect an ecology check, where are we now, what have we created, designed, implemented, what still needs refining- are the anchors we set functional and ready for integration- once you do this mental overview we are then ready for the system alignment.
So be before I go down that path, at the start I made a note that a friend of mine pointed something out to me, so this article is dedicated to him- who is he, well we are about to find that out- this guy is really very cool and I hope you will visit is blog after reading this, so one of the key things to keep in mind is sometimes not everything is as it seems, and sometimes things are designed on purpose to create specific results- for me.. I like to test things out and some times that means- what I present might look a little sloppy- yet I am ok with that- because its when you are willing to experiment openly with ideas- you can push open new ideas new ways of thinking- and that’s what beyond trances is about- its about going beyond what tends to keep other locked in or down, in you can’t do it like that because of xyz.. and that one way of staying stuck, for me I know I have some educational limitations, yet I know brains and I know more about language functioning and how to make it work.
So here we have an idea for a systems approach to how to apply conversational hypnosis, designed and dedicated to my friend- so here’s the outline.
-
Attention
-
Layer
-
Whole-system
-
Hypothesis
-
Inoculation
-
Time
-
Test
-
Options
-
Next-step
So if you want to check out Al Whitton’s blog you can at www.alanwhitton.co.uk Al is an inspiration and at times pushes me to do better- he is also a Life coach and Hypnotist & NLP Practitioner.
I hope this was a interesting demonstration for you to see, hear and feel, that if you know what and how to create and design applications- then you can take most anything- and turn into a learning tool, over time I will share a series of ways for you to start to play with some of the ways in which you can apply the art of conversational hypnosis- not just in therapy- yet in any context you need to be able to use language to create and powerful ways- to get results and to enjoy experimenting with new ideas.
