Things are heating up as the participants strode into the 2nd week. But was it as exciting as it had been in the first? Without further ado, let’s go through their progress :
-
Aarron
Aarron’s disappointment last week – when he found out he weighed in an extra 5 pounds – turned into joy. A check on his own home scale revealed that he had lost 4 pounds instead! Perhaps it was all that clothes and personal belongings which made him seemingly heavier at the doctor’s.
It was always so interesting reading Aarron’s updates. Not only was it detailed, it was full of his own little trials & tribulations. After getting back on track from his short disappointment, Aarron decided to test if the self hypnosis has been permanently ingrained into his subconscious by not listening to the “Weight Loss Motivation” mp3 for a day.
Guess what? He actually fell prey to a fast food commercial and ate some fried chicken after 10pm! He even declared that day a break from dieting and went on to down 2 beers and some snacks. Hmm… looks like there’s indeed some co-relation between listening to the “Weight Loss Motivation” mp3 versus the action, isn’t it? Yet on the 14th day of the experiment, he missed another session unintentionally, without losing control of his diet.
That got me wondering, has the self hypnosis really settled onto his subconscious? Or was it a coincidence? I really loved it when Aarron ended the 2nd week’s progress with a mention of his friend’s “Where is your butt?” comment on his new physique. I agree with his perspective that someone was indeed noticing changes in him. It’s often easier to see a change in the upper torso than the lower. So, when that person mentioned that, boy, that’s indeed fantastic news!

Carmina
Though she commented that her body was relatively slow when it came to weight loss - and didn’t experience any further decreases after her first 2 pounds since listening to the “Weight Loss Motivation” mp3 – Carmina noticed a gradual improvement in her junk food binging habit. After all, lately it seemed much easier for her to refrain from eating in between meals even when she was hungry. Especially in the morning.
She had also been going to the gym just for Pilates and continued to believe that going for more classes would help her to lose more weight. Oh well, Carmina you may not have lost any more weight this time but you’ve still got another week to play catch up, don’t you?
-
Lisa
As the 1st week’s excitement fizzled out, Lisa found herself slipping on her goals. She didn’t listen to the “Write That Book” session for 2 days and noticed that there were 3 days she didn’t write at all. Picking up the self hypnosis session once again gave her a great motivational boost. In fact, she was so impressed with the instant motivation that she was considering getting other tapes to help her with cleaning out her cupboards and reorganize her stuff! Sure, Lisa. Here’s the entire Hypnosis Downloads list of mp3.
As she started to get back on track in the later part of the week, a recent spate of news led her to further research into her writing. She continued to write, but not as much as she did in the first week. Nonetheless, she was grateful that “at least” she kept on with the writing. And when she did so, she found herself increasingly concerned about the knowledge of the plot and characters that she vested more research onto that.
Keep it going, Lisa. You know we’re behind you!
-
M De Jong
Frustrations continued to plague M De Jong since listening to the “Find Your Passion” self hypnosis mp3. Many times she felt held back and restrained by the very thoughts and visualizations which brought her excitement and happiness moments before. As a form of escape, she began to seek refuge by playing computer games & watching television. And even justified to herself why she needed to do that.
In my opinion, that was probably her subconscious’ way of telling herself, she was on the wrong track. But what would she feel that way? Weren’t she supposed to feel clearer about what she wanted out of her career after the self hypnosis session? Why did she become even more confused? I knew I had to clarify that with Mark Tyrrell.
And I did.
-
Mark Barr
Due to work and personal commitments, Mark Barr wasn’t able to update as much. But it was good to know he was still progressing fine with the “Reach Your Goals” mp3. He had opportunities to speak to some more business prospects about his network marketing product and brought the total tally to 6.
He also came up with a good business idea of including his story - of how he got involved with the network marketing company - as part of his preso materials! In fact, he promised to post it in the private platform for reviews when he had finished. Good! Mark, do let us know what else we can help!
-
Imagi
Imagi found her social and professional circle expanding and ease in opening up to people who might help her connect to that particular ’someone’. Something she probably didn’t thought she would do before listening to “Be More Attractive To Men” self hypnosis tape.
However, what was really troubling her was her anxiety for results. A high achiever and doer, she found it particularly frustrating to not see results in this goal as fast as she did in other areas/goals in her life. She understood such frustration and anger would not do her good and was working hard to replace that with more peaceful thoughts. Thoughts of strength.
It was only during this while that she became more aware of herself and her behaviour. Especially when mingling with people. She felt the challenge to impress people but on second thoughts decided to just be herself.
Yes, Imagi. Just be yourself. I liked it best when Aarron advised in one comment “… Being congruent is absolutely critical to your success. You can dress up the outside as pretty as you want, but if the inside doesn’t match, it will easily be communicated through the morphegenic field to those you encounter.”
It’s true. I’m a believer in change too. But change for yourself. Not for someone else. The former is a conscious decision that’s likely to be more lasting and genuine. Which will have more far reaching impacts than the latter.
Likewise in the 1st week’s progress update, I’ve invited the participants & Mark Tyrrell to join me in this interview. Unfortunately, one of the participants M De Jong is unable to join us today due to her work commitments.
Hello guys & gals, how are you? This week’s updates were kind of mixed.
Two of you maintained your progress, despite suffering some slight setbacks. Some continued to do well or moderately well and one of you who’s not here today is stuck. Now, in your own words, how would you describe your progress?
Aarron : Oh well, there was definitely progress, but there were also a few bumps in the road. Perhaps the ego was hard at work or perhaps just long hours and a plate full of responsibilities to take care of, but one day I totally fell off the program – yes, the day I didn’t listened to the mp3 - and went back to the old way of doing it. Fortunately, it didn’t last long. I corrected course and continued to make progress toward my goal. I may have needed a reminder of how it felt the old way and in that received the impetus to propel myself forward with renewed vigor and motivation.
Carmina : Well Ellesse, as you’ve noticed, I’m actually moving very slowly. In the 2nd week, my total weight loss still stood at only 2 pounds. But I was kept motivated by listening to the tape every night.
Lisa : My initial excitement wore out during the 2nd week and I slipped in reaching my daily goals. There were three days I did not write at all. This was an outstanding learning experience for me as far as goal setting and hypnosis were concerned. I learned “when” I needed to buckle down and use more force with myself in order to stay on track.
Mark Barr : During the 2nd week, I started to see more significant progress towards meeting my goals.
Imagi : Almost midway through the project, even when I’ve been regularly listening to the tapes, taking relevant action, I was seeing no result. It was frustrating, to say the least. That began the process of self understanding and acceptance. I began to delve into my basic nature, into me as an individual and how others might perceive me. That led me to focus on refining myself and my reactions - not that there was a lot to do. Now it was not so much about finding that “someone”, but was more about finding my own ideal self.
Cheer up, people! The issues you were facing were pretty inherent in goal setting. You start out motivated and excited but as that die down, what used to something so fascinating and interesting to you become routine.
In other words, it became “work”. Especially if you don’t see any immediate gratification. It’s during this time that most people give up. But don’t! Continue to take small steps toward your goal and remind yourself of why you’re working that goal and keep the faith that you’ll succeed.
Alright?
All : Yeah, we will!
Way to go, guys! Aarron, on the day that you fell off the program, you actually didn’t listen to the hypnosis mp3 right?
Aarron : I think at that time I was feeling the effortless ease with which I was able to resist eating the old way and thought I’d test the programming to see how well it had embedded at a cellular level. I’m actually combining this work with a symbol technology developed by Dawn Clark, which opens the chakras instantly and allows for rapid cellular embedment of any program or learning. I had often used this technique in other 21 day applications with outstanding results.
I also recall having had a very long day and getting less than an adequate night’s rest the night before and that probably added to the falling back into the old pattern of comfort from eating. It also could have been the resistance of the ego/brain a lot like those who quite smoking or drinkiing. I was in a typical environment that triggered an old response and I was just too tired to care or resist at that time.
But despite that, on the 14th day - when you didn’t have time for your self hypnosis session in the morning - you were able to control your diet without any conscious effort, right?
Aarron : Yes. I believe after the incident on the 12th day I had found the resolve to not treat myself badly anymore. The 12th was very motivational and instructive as to finding my feelings and trusting that they would be my best guide in the actions I needed to take. I began using my feeling as the map to reach the destination.
Hmm… your vastly different responses on those 2 occasion led to me another question.
Mark, as in Mark Tyrrell, can you give us an insight as to what causes this difference in Aarron’s reactions and any recommendations when one can effectively wane off from listening the tape?
Mark Tyrrell : Well for anything to become established it either needs to be extremely powerful or extremely…repeated. For example, someone could have a very powerful scary one off experience at that powerful one off time could be enough to establish the ‘habit’ of fear around say cars (if it was a car crash) or someone could just have the experience of feeling a little nervous time after time to eventually establish a fear of cars.
So, people don’t always have very powerful one off responses to the hypnosis sessions - although of course many do - but it’s the repetition that can establish a new habitual pattern. I’m guessing that Aarron’s new pattern needed to a little time to stick. Habits can be hard to break and fortunately that applied to good habits too. Once the ‘good habit’ is established we can start weaning from the tape just listening again if ever the need is felt.
Ok, that makes sense! Now that we’re at it, Mark, can you also shed some light on M De Jong’s situation? She seemed to be going through an internal turmoil in her 2nd week and got trapped into an escapist mode. What do you think could be the reason behind her emotional confusion and behaviour? And what’s your advice to her?
Mark Tyrrell : Well it’s interesting sometimes as if parts of a person almost rebel against new positive patterns. We certainly see this sometimes when working with smokers or other people with addictive behavior. Like what Aarron mentioned earlier in his own situation, it’s as if the old negative pattern senses that it may be under threat and puts up some resistance.
I’ll suggest that De Jong keep on keeping on just to see this as turbulence on a flight - it may feel dramatic but you’re actually still on course for your destination.
But how do you know if it’s turbulence and not an imminent plane crash?
Mark Tyrrell : Well progress is rarely completely smooth. Once we make progression, go back a little to review and then progress a little further. The general pattern is one of improvement. Airplanes don’t just go forward they go up and down but they get you to where you need to go. The So-called black and white thinking can cause people problems because it can lead to perfectionism (‘this has got to be completely perfect or it’s a disaster, I can’t love this person if they exhibit any imperfections etc.) or catastrophism (‘Things are going to go completely wrong’)
One of the first signals that someone is, for instance, coming out of depression, is that their thinking starts to become less absolutist. Rather than feeling their whole life is, for example, ‘a failure’ they start to see that bits are more successful than others. That is, they see the gray. To do this the mind needs to be calmer and they need to be able to challenge their own all or nothing thinking-at least on occasion.
Of course we never know completely for sure that the turbulence on a plane doesn’t signify imminent crashing but planes are meant to experience turbulence; to go up and down to some extent. But if we are using too much ‘black or white’, ‘all or nothing’ thinking then turbulence inevitably signifies something absolute (like a crash) for us rather than….the normal turbulence which it is.
Part of the value of hypnotic relaxation is that it can quiet the mind so that objectivity and multiple view points have a chance to operate and the type of thinking based on fight or flight, all or nothing recedes to the extent that our judgments can become ‘shaded.’ I hope this is useful.
Thank you Mark for the excellent advice! I guess it’s a matter of perspective to always stay postive and see all changes towards the improvement of our lives. Trust in your instinct that all things will definitely work well and it WILL! Ah, it’s back to our thoughts again, isn’t it.
Thanks Mark once again. It’s really great to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel, with an expert in the house! Now back to the rest of you. What are the things that work – and didn’t work – when you set out to implement the plans you’ve mentioned last week?
Aarron : Most worked just fine for me. I would have listened to the Mp3 daily as an added measure rather than experimenting to see if the programming was strong enough to skip a day or two. Having a balanced meal plan that was easy to implement was critical to my success as well.
Carmina : For me what was more difficult was stop snacking between meals. Second week I still couldn’t totally avoid it despite working out and eating healthy meals. But I did see some improvements in that.
Lisa : I’m assuming this question is in reference to the smart goals specifically. Listening to the tape before bed time worked well for me through out the process. My smart goal did not have any breathing room for the structuring problem I ran into, as I had not included any “research” or “planning” time. I thought my 800 words a day worked well for me also.
Mark Barr : As I became a bit more accustomed to the tape, I started to relax more and become more focused. Writing in private platform and being in supportive communication with other members was also helpful.
Imagi : Though things were not moving at the speed and in the exact direction I desired, I persisted. Diligence and faith became my watch words. I worked on my Vision Board. And persisted with relevant follow up action.
You guys rock! Despite the mixed responses this week, I’m very glad that you’ve taking all these positively.
But what I’ve also noticed is, those of you who were more actively engaged with their goals (either through updating their progress on the private platform or continuously brainstorming on new ideas/ways to get a step closer to their goals) achieved more growth in their goals than others.
Mark, from self hypnosis’ point of view, what’s the significance of that?
Mark Tyrrell : Well, Ellesse. Basically, hypnosis is primarily a way of enhancing focus. Being more focused on your goals mean you already have a hypnotic advantage. We can all learn from highly focused people (as long as they are focused on productive and healthy things).
The participants who were continuously writing their progress in the private platform were in a way regularly reminding themselves what it is they want to achieve.
They’re developing real vision. Strongly imagining you’ve already achieved what you are aiming for then writing down in detail all the steps that got you there, then strongly imagining carrying out each step is actually a fine quasi hypnotic technique.
I think people should always strive to regularly remind themselves of their goals.
But in your last progress update, Mark, you mentioned letting the hypnosis “settle” as listening to the sessions alone should be effective in itself or when used with other non hypnotic approaches.
I take it to mean that even if the participants were to do nothing except listening to the tape, there should be some improvements or changes in their goals. Right?
Mark Tyrrell : Yes, this is the idea and certainly hypnotic intervention can have very powerful results. This is not to say that other approaches can’t be used in conjunction with the hypno approach but just that we don’t need to analyze’ too closely the contents of the hypnotic experience or consciously ‘try’ too much.
Oh I see. Thanks for the clarification. In your point of view, what are some of the best non-hypnotic approaches people can use to derive the most out of their self hypnosis experience?
Mark Tyrrell : As far as non-hypnotic approaches are concerned, doing one new thing each day that is broadly or even loosely connected to you goal is a great way to expand horizons. Telling yourself “Today I am going to do at least one small thing I wouldn’t have normally done’ is a good behavioral adjunct to hypnotic approaches. Although of course the hypnosis itself will also be promoting this behavior.
Visualization & writing out your progress, like what you’ve encouraged the participants to do in the private platform are something very helpful too.
Ok. In the case of Mark Barr, who was constantly unsure if his actions were as a result of his self hypnosis. What do you think he could do to enhance his experience?
Mark Tyrrell : Well of course we can’t always be certain what exactly has produced good results but I suggest really upping the experience (whether whilst relaxing to the tapes or at any other available time) of visualizing yourself speaking to people and congruently enthusing.
Self fulfilling prophesies are so powerful and a very effective way to producing them is to keep strongly imagining the pattern you want to activate in reality. Talking a lot about doing something without actually doing it just strengthens the pattern for…talking about it. But strongly imagining actually doing it creates the right ‘blue print’ or template.
Awesome! I hope the rest of you’ve learned as much as I did in today’s interview! Back to our usual check, what do all of you intend to do to move yourself closer to your goal in the last week?
Aarron : Yes! I’ve the motivation now to achieve my goal and ahead of schedule. For me, I’ll just doing what I’ve been doing.
Carmina : I intend to keep concentrating with my goal… keep going to the gym as much as I can… keep avoiding snacks between meals. I’m so motivated because after 21 days listening the tape seems that work really well for me.
Lisa : The notion of having only 1 week left for this experiment is already a great “end of the project” motivator. I’m excited to write every day and include additional research.
Mark Barr : I plan to focus more toward the finish line and what my daily actions are doing to get me there.
Imagi : I always knew that I was an ambivert and preferred a reserved attitude while among acquaintances. Now, I decided not to fight this natural trait but to just be my comfortable self. I had for a long time wished to join a public speaking course. During this week, I decided to finally go ahead with this. Like I mentioned earlier, it was about getting as close to my ideal self as possible, while keeping the ultimate goal in mind. I tried to not be overwhelmed by my ultimate goal nor did I lose sight of it.
Great guys! Let’s make full use of the last week of the experiment to make a full effort dash towards the finishing line. Before I sign off, Mark, any encouragement you’ll like to give the participants?
Mark Tyrrell : Yes! Always remember that we’re all capable of way more that what we currently know. Even if you consider yourself an extremely positive goal orientated person. Although you may sometimes think you’re alone with your goal, you’re not….We’re a mutually supporting team-working together
You bet! I’m with all of you too. Let’s run!

自我催眠小组试验:2周以来的进展
随着参加者这两周的进展,催眠术逐渐升温。但这是否和刚开始一样激动人心呢?让我们排除远期的干扰进入他们的进展:
-
艾伦
艾伦上周的沮丧—当他发现自己超标了5磅—转变成了高兴。在自家磅秤上的检查显示他轻了4磅!也许是他的衣服和个人物品使他在诊所检查时似乎重了些。
-
阅读 艾伦的日志更新很有意思.它并不仅仅详细,而且里面全是艾伦自己的经历的些小试验和磨难。在从短暂的失意回到他的生活轨道之后,艾伦决定测试每天不听“减肥动力”的mp3看看自我催眠是否已经植入他的潜意识中。
-
猜猜结果?他实际上成为了商业快餐的俘虏而且在晚上十点之后吃炸鸡!他甚至宣称给节食放一天假并去市中心喝了两杯啤酒还吃了点心。嗯--,看起来听“减肥动力”的mp3和行动确实有些相抵触的关系,是不是?然而在试验的第14天,他无意地错过了另一个会议,没有控制好他的饮食。
这使我想到,自我催眠真的植入了他的潜意识吗?或者这只是一个巧合?我非常喜爱艾伦在结束两周进展时和他朋友闲聊他体型时提的那句话“你屁股在哪儿?”。我同意他的观点,有人的确发现他的变化。上部躯干的改变比下部更容易让人发现。所以,当有人提到时,小伙子,这真是个极好的消息。
-
卡米拉
尽管她评论说她的身体在减肥时动作相当迟缓些了——并且自她听“减肥动力” mp3在开始减了2磅之后她的体重就没有显示进一步的下降了——卡米拉发现她吃垃圾食品的习惯在逐渐改善。毕竟,后来对她来说即使在饥饿的时候克制在正餐之间吃东西容易些了,特别是在早上。
她也回去健身房做普拉提并一直相信参加更多的课程有助于进一步减轻体重。哦好了卡米拉,如果你这次体重不会有任何减轻,你也会再去一周赶上课程的是不是?
-
丽莎
由于第一周的兴奋告吹,Lisa发现自己疏忽了自己的目标。她没有听“些这本书”的2天会议并且意识到她有三天什么都没有写。再一次学习自我催眠的会议给了她很大的动力促进。事实上,她对即时的动力印象太深刻了以至于在考虑弄其他的催眠磁带来帮助她清理碗橱和整理物品!当然,丽莎。这儿有完整的催眠mp3下载清单。
当她在这周的后半段回到轨道中时,最近的一连串新闻使她进一步研究她的写作。她持续写作但不像上周那样多了。但她很棒至少她还坚持在写。当她在做这些的时候,她发现自己越来越关注情节和性格特征的知识所以把更多的研究放在这些上面。
做下去,丽莎。你知道我们都支持你!
-
德容
沮丧感还在持续折磨着 德容自从听“找到你的激情”催眠mp3以来。她好几次因各种想法和想象感到退缩和束缚,这些想法和映像过去都给她带来过激动和兴奋。作为逃避的一种方式,她通过玩电脑游戏和看电视来寻求庇护,而且甚至为自己辩解说她需要这些。
依我看来,是丽莎以她潜意识的方式告诉自己她在错误的轨道上。但是是什么让她有这种感觉呢?在自我催眠课程之后她不是本应该对想从职业中获得什么更加清晰吗?为什么她更困惑了呢?我知道我必需和 马克特瑞尔一起弄明白.而且我这样做了。
-
马克巴尔
由于工作和私人问题,马克巴尔不能时常更新。但是我们很高兴的知道他还在顺利进行“达到你的目标”mp3。他有机会与更有商业前景的公司对话他的网络市场产品并带来总统计6的利益。
他也提出了好的商业点子包括他的故事——他如何运作网络市场公司——作为他提交材料的一部分。事实上,他承诺在他结束的时候未来回顾他会把日志邮到一个私人平台上。太好了,马克, 一定要让我们还能帮你些什么!
-
伊玛格
伊玛格发现她的社交和职业圈子扩大了而且更容易对那些也许会帮助她和某些“特殊人物”取得联系的人开放。在她听“对男士更有吸引力”的磁带前有些事她跟本没想过去做。
然而,真正困扰她的是她对结果的焦虑。作为一个成功者和实干家,她对不能像在生活中其他领域一样快速得获得效果而感到特别沮丧。她理解这样的沮丧并为不能好好做用更平和的想法代替努力工作而生气。强势的想法。
只有在这个时候她才更清楚自己和自己的行为。特别是和人们融合的时候。她感到让人印象深刻是个挑战下一秒又决定做自己就好。
就是这样, 伊玛格. 做自己。我最喜欢的时候是当艾伦在一次讨论时的提议“内外一致对成功至为关键。在外表可以盛装打扮得你想多漂亮有多漂亮,但如果内在与此不配,很容易仅仅通过外在形象与你遇到的人交流。”
确实是。我也相信改变。但是改变自己而不是改变别人。前者是理智的决定更加长久和真诚,比后者方式更让人印象深刻。
就像第一周进展的更新,我们邀请参加者马克特瑞尔和我一起接受这个采访。不幸的是,另一个参与者 德容今天因为工作不能加入。
男孩女孩们大家好吗?这周的更新有些混乱。你们中的两人坚持课程,尽管有一点儿退步。一些依然做得很好或调整得很好,你们中的一个今天不在被困住了。现在,用你们自己的话来说,你们会如何描述自己的进展?
艾伦: 好,无疑是有进展的,但是在路上也有些坎坷。也许工作上的勇气难以获得或者长时间和一大堆的责任要注意,但是有一天我完全放弃了计划——是,我没有听催眠mp3的一天——并回到了我的旧日生活。幸运的是,没有持续很长。我调整课程并持续进步,接受了动力推动我自己带着精力和动里前进。
卡米拉: Ellesse,正像你提到的,我实际上进步得很慢。在第二周,我总共减轻了2磅并一直保持这个水平。但是我通过听磁带保持我的动力。
丽莎 :我起初的兴奋在第二周渐渐消退了,我日记的目标也下滑了。我有三天什么都没有写。这对我来说是一个特别的学习体验就订立目标和催眠而言。我知道了什么时候我该开始认真和为了保持在轨道上用更多的力量。
马克巴尔:在第二周,我开始看到符合我目标的更多的显著进步。
伊玛格 : 几乎中途放弃计划,即使当我有规律的听磁带,采取相关行动,我没看到任何结果。这令人沮丧,至少说起来是这样。这使我开始了自我理解和接受。我开始专研把自己作为一个个体的基础本性和其他人看我的角度。这领导我完善自己和我的行为——不是有很多事情要去做。现在不是太要去找到“那个人”,但是找到更完美的自己。
大家鼓掌!你们面对的问题漂亮的设定在目标里了。你们有动力并兴奋的开始但随着这些冷却,那些迷人有趣的东西成了常规的生活。换句话说,这成了“工作”,特别是你没看到立刻的成果时。在这个时候大部分人都会放弃。但不要!继续向你的目标前进几小步,提醒自己为什么你在为目标奋斗并保持信念你就会成功。对吗?
所有人: 是的,我们会的。
继续,男孩们! 艾伦, 在你放弃计划的那天,你实际上没有听催眠 mp3是吗 ?
艾伦 :我认为那时我感到徒劳无功,放松自己对过去吃东西方式的抵制,而且我认为我该做个检验看看计划在细胞水平植入得有多好。我实际上吧这项计工作和唐恩克拉克的标志性技术结合在一起, 那项技术能立刻打开能量中心允许细胞吧任何一个计划或学习深留脑中。我在接下来的21天经常用这种方法但没有显著效果。
我记起有个非常漫长的一天还有没得到足够休息的前天晚上,这都可能使我重新回到旧日舒适地吃喝生活。这都是对自我/大脑的强大阻力就像那些戒烟戒酒的人一样。我生活在一个能触发我原来反应的典型环境中而且我那时太累了不能保持戒断旧日生活方式。
但尽管这样,在第14天——当你早上没有时间听催眠mp3——你可以不做任何有意识的努力就能控制自己的饮食是不是?
艾伦 : 是的,我相信在这个第12天的小插曲之后我决心不在对我自己这样不好了.第12天也对我找到自己的感觉和相信他们能指导我采取我该采取的行动很有促进也很有教育意义。我开始像地图一样用我的想法来达到目的。
嗯--你对这两个时刻深远而与众不同的反应让我想起另一个问题。马克,作为马克特瑞尔,你能不能给我们你对于艾伦不同反应的理解并给我们一些建议当有人逐渐不听磁带?
马克特瑞尔 : 建立任何事情要么需要强大力量要么需要极端的....重复。例如,某人可能有一次非常恐怖的经历,一次就足以让他建立害怕提到汽车的“习惯”(例如一次车祸)或有人可能只是对一次又一次经验的感觉有点紧张,最终建立了对汽车的恐惧。
所以,人们对催眠的反应并不都是很强烈——尽管有些人是——我猜想 艾伦的新模式需要一点时间来坚持。习惯是很难打破的采用好习惯也一样难。一旦‘好习惯’建立了我们可以开始不仅仅是重复听磁带了。
好,确实有道理!既然我们在研究它,马克,你能不能阐述下德容的情况?她似乎在第二周经历了内心的混乱而且陷入了自我逃避的一种模式。你认为她情绪和行为混乱的原因是什么?你对她的建议是什么?
马克特瑞尔 :好像有一部分人几乎完全反抗新的模式,这很有趣。我们在做烟民和其他上瘾者研究就会碰到这种情况。就像艾伦提到的早期情况一样,好像旧的消极模式的感觉产生了威胁带来了阻力。
我会建议德容保持关注飞行的湍流——也许会感到很戏剧化但是你实际上仍在向目的地前进。
但你怎么知道这只是一次飞机的动荡而不是一次迫在眉睫的飞机坠毁事件?
马克特瑞尔 : 进步很少是完全一帆风顺的。一旦我们取得进步,小回顾一下接着前进一点。这是一般的提高模式。飞机不是一直向前飞的它会忽高忽低但是它们能把你带到你要去的地方。所谓的黑人白人认为思考会引起问题因为它导致完美主义(这要么就是很完美要么就是灾难,如果他,不完美我就不喜欢那个人,等等)或者灾难(这完全是一个错误)
第一个信号,举例子来说,有人走出了低迷,他们的思想开始变得不那么绝对,不在觉得他们整个生活,例如,是个“失败”他们开始从苦难中看到了成功。也就是说看到了灰色。要达到这样,必需头脑冷静,他们至少要在一定情形能够挑战自己的全部或任何思维。
当然我们不是完全确信飞机上感到的震荡是急迫的坠机但是意味飞机正经历不稳定气流;在某个范围升降。但如果我们用太多的‘黑或白’,‘全或无’的思维接着会觉得震荡不可避免地显示什么事绝对(就像坠机)而不是.....它本该是的一般震荡
催眠放松的一部分价值是它能冷静头脑使客观和多样的观点能够操作,各类型基于斗争还是逃跑、全或无的想法都在某种程度上让我们判断力下降‘隐藏’。我希望这有所帮助。
谢谢马克精彩的建议!我认为保持积极并看到我们生活中所有改善是很重要的。相信你有吧所有事情做好的能力!哈,这又回到我们的想法了是不是。
再次感谢马克。有个专家在这里,就像在隧道的尽头看到光线感觉真是太棒了!现在回到你们了。当你上开始实施上周提到的计划时是什么在起作用或没有什么在起作用?
艾伦 : 大多数都工作得很好。我每天都听mp3做为另加的方式而不是试验我的计划足够分量可以让我放松一两天。执行了一个均衡饮食计划,它很容易实施对我的成功也至关重要。
卡米拉 : 对我来说在正餐之间不吃点心更难些。第二周我还是不能完全改正尽管事情都有效果而且吃健康食物。但我在其中看到了改善。
丽莎: 我假设这个问题特别和聪明的目标有关。在坏时光对我起作用之前听磁带。我聪明的目标对构建我陷入的问题没有给任何可喘息的空间,就像我没有了“研究”和“计划”时间。我认为每天写800个字对我很有作用。
马克巴尔: 由于我已经习惯听磁带了,我开始更加放松和集中注意。写在私人平台上,和其他人有帮助的交流也很有用。
伊玛格: 尽管事情没有快速的进展也没向我希望的方向上发展,我坚持下来了。勤奋和信念成为我的信条。我在我的视觉平台上工作,坚持采取下一个相关行动。
你们太棒了!尽管这周反馈很混乱,我很高兴你们都带来了积极的消息。但我也注意到了,你们在迈向目标的时候(通过私人平台每天更新进展的或是通过持续新主意的头脑风暴/各种接近他们目标的方式)比其他的在目标上进步了更多。
马克,从自我催眠的角度看,这意味着什么呢?
马克特瑞尔 :好的,爱丽丝. 一般说,催眠主要是加强注意的主要方式。更关注你的目标意味着你已经从催眠获得好处了。我们从高集中注意力的人中学到(只要他们专心于富有成效和健康的东西)。那些在私人平台持续记录进展的参加者以这样的方式有规律的提醒自己自己想要达到的目标。
他们发展了真正的远见。你已经获得了强烈的映像:你目标是什么接着记录下所有达到的步骤的细节,然后坚决贯彻想象的每一步是很好的催眠术。
我想大家应该努力经常提醒自己要达到的目标。
但在你上一次更新的进程中,马克,你提到让催眠“进驻”是仅指听会本身应该有效还是当使用其他非催眠方法时。我这样理解即使参加者除了听磁带什么都不做对他们实现目标也有改善和改变,是吗?
马克特瑞尔 : 是的,这是我的观点,催眠干扰能产生有力的效果。这不是说 其他方法不能和它一起用,但目前我们不需要太精确地分析催眠经历或有意识地努力的内涵。
哦我看到了。谢谢你的说明。依你的观点,人们能用的最好的获得和催眠经历一样效果的非催眠方法是什么?
马克特瑞尔 : 就非催眠方法而言,每天尝试新事物对你的目标来说太广泛甚至松散,不过是扩大视野的好方法。告诉自己“今天我至少要做一件我平常不会做的小事情”是对催眠很好的辅助方式。当然催眠本身也提倡这种行为。
可视化和记录你的进程,就像你鼓励参加者在私人平台上做的一样,这很有帮助。
好。马克巴尔的案子,他总是不确信他的行为是他自我催眠的 结果。你认为他应该做什么来增加他的经历?
马克特瑞尔 : 当然我们不能总是确信是什么产生了好的结果但是我建议真的要提高让自己和人们说话的经历(无论是休息听磁带还是其他可用的时间)。
自我满足的预言太强大了而且是很有力的让他们产生一定要付诸行动的强烈念想的方式。经常说要做什么而不真正去做只是加强了说目标的形式。但强烈的要去做的念想产生了‘蓝图’或模板。
真了不起!我希望在场的你们在今天和我学到的一样多!回到对你们访问,你们上一周都打算做什么来使自己更进一步接近目标?
艾伦 : 是的!我现在有动力依照安排达到我的目标了。对我来说,我子是做我该做的。
卡米拉: 我打算继续关注我的目标...尽可能多的做体操...保持不在正餐之间吃甜点。我非常有动力因为听了21天的磁带对我真是很有帮助。
丽莎: 只有一周就要离开这个试验了,这个概念真是个“终止计划”的伟大动力。我对每天的记录和附加的研究非常有兴趣。
马克巴尔 : 我计划注重在如何走向终点和我每天改为此做什么。
伊玛格: 我知道我是个既外向又内向的人而且和熟人在一起喜欢保守的态度。现在,我决定我不在和自然天性斗争仅仅是做舒服地自己。在这周,我最终决定这样做了。就像我开始提到的,这是关于尽可能达到完美的自我,同时在脑子保持最终目标。我试着不压制我的最终目标也不忽视它。
好样的!让我们完全利用上周的试验结果尽全力冲向终点。在我们结束之前,马克,你有没有什么鼓励的话要对参加者说的?
马克特瑞尔 : 是的!永远记住我们现在知道我们有更多的路。即使你认为你自己是非常积极有目标导向的人。尽管你有时候也许会认为你独自一人为目标奋斗,你不是的,我们是一个相互支持的团队。
你要确信!我和你们在一起!让我们行动!
