The hole is greater than the sum of the past

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

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.

What the *!$*! is Hypno Business?!?

Friday, April 20th, 2007

Hello

 This is the first ever blog from Hypnobusiness about….appropriately…..hypnobusiness. And, unlike my infamous newsletters , which you will need a separate dedicated printer for,  these blogs will succinct and to the point. (Go to www.hbtuk.com to sign up for my newsletters).

 Hypnobusiness is simply what it says: the use of hypnotherapeutic techniques within a business context to resolve ‘issues’. The kinds of issues I resolve are any form of unresolved conflict; thinking errors (you know, like when your e mail goes down and you start proclaiming that your universe is falling apart at the seams and tat everyone hates you, including inanimate, abstract concepts, like cyber space….”Even cyber space hates me. That’s how loathsome I really am!”….that kind of thing); stress (I can help you experience less stress, or more stress, whichever you prefer); team working; performance anxiety (e.g.sales performance, although I cater for all types of performance enhancement, some of which are not appropriate in a business context); creativity and creative visualisation (you know: for product development and business planning); and so on and so on.

 I am also the best management trainer and coach in Bournemouth…well Dorset….well the known universe, actually, and have 18 years’ expoerience of working in Corporate and SME businesses as a change agent. I can solve any problem that any human being can cause (unless you include my family in the definition of ‘human beings’). I just have to be allowed in to your premises and given carte blance to weave my magic spells. You won’t regret it. Oh, and you do have to pay me. There’s a sliding scale, depending on how much I like you and how wealthy I fantasise that you are.

 There you go Laura(Laura is a serial fan/detractor of mine, as I am of her). Short and to the point. I know there were some long sentences and a few long words, but it’s not 5 pages is it? Not yet…..
