Hypno Business

Avid grammarians desist! The spellings and punctuation of the title are intentional. I will be brief. Holes are multifunctional. They can be good and they can be bad. Holes in space provide portals to other universes (probably…this is one of those strongly supported theories that cannot be subjected to the usual attemtpts at disproof. Going through a black hole is a one way trip to certain death, and anyway, the nearest one is so far away we would be dead before we even got close).

Holes can also be metaphorical. People talk about disappearing down a big black hole. As though this is a bad thing. Me; I like the idea of going through a hole, as long as I come out whole on the other side. In fact, that is the whole point; or the hole point.

Here is one simple exercise involving a hole. Imagine, for a moment (and it will help you a great deal if you imagine you are really relaxed first and if you imagine your eyes are closed they probably are even though the lack of punctuation may be a little less confusing although on the hole this makes sense)….imagine for a moment you are drifting through space and that you are protected by an impenetrable force field. As you approach a black hole (really a star that has collapsed under the force of its own incredible gravity…a bit like some grown ups I have met)…you get a sense of excitement….an expectation of something momentous….something wonderful, about to happen.

You close your eyes even though they are already closed because inside your mind they are open and you need to close them on the inside to get the full effect.  When you open your eyes again, you emerge in a new universe in which the best possible event you could ever imagine is now unfolding before your very eyes, which are now open on the inside, although not on the outside. This event is rooted in your past but bears no relation to it, having increased in positive intensity by a factor of, well, let’s say, infinity, but you can go for a few billion , if you are more conservative than me.

Simply wallow in the positive experience for as long as you want to….for hours….all day even. But ten minutes will do to begin with.

Now decide what really matters in your life.

Take any appropriate action. In your own space and time.

Last week, a real hole appeared outside my house. We had to call the police and the council as there was a risk of buses falling into the hole. Sadly it has now been filled in.  But I am not sad. I am whole again.

 Happy Holedays!

I have a challenge for you. In this exercise, whenever you see….. (dots)….., pause for at least 5 seconds……or even 10 (or 11).

Sit somewhere quiet (that’s not the challenge, but if you lived here it would be).

Listen to the sound of my voice inside your head……as you read this to yourself….or another voice….perhaps someone you know better….. and trust a little more….and then….listen to the sounds you can hear inside the room….maybe the sounds of the chair creaking…..or your own breathing….or the faint draughts beneath the door…….and now listen to the sounds outside the room….the TV wittering….. or the washing machine….or perhaps some birds singing….or cars going by….and now….listen to the sounds you can only just hear….just beyond the sounds just outside the room….the sounds in the distance….sounds you are not sure are really there….and continue to listen further and further…. into the distance…. until it can only be the sounds…. which you…. imagine you can hear…. that you can hear now….sounds from the coast…..sounds from the sea….sounds from far distant lands…..sounds from the atmosphere…..sounds from space…..sounds from another planet…..another star…..another galaxay….another universe….so that when you can hear such sounds…. all the way to the edge of beyond (the hidden edge)…..listen, exclusively, to these…… most distant sounds…..and understand….. that these are the sounds of your soul….telling you what it is….. you would most love to do next……and then…..you can just drift a while………………………………………………………..or wake up.

And when you wake up, wiggle your toes and your nose and anything else that feels in need of a wiggle and write me a response telling me what it was that you heard and whether you are already doing it now, or are putting it off until the cows come home.
