I like how she tries to paint a picture of me as the ungrateful son. I really have cooked up a serious negative weight here. Just how bad do you want to know your Eternal self over the conditional good feelings that the one who birthed you can give you?

You spent your first 9 months in a flesh body with her voice and mind controlling your development. Then 18 years of further control. And now the various games continue... unless you go ahead and give in. And start to hypnotize yourself with her slogans --- parental respect, be a good person, etc.

Now, the fundamental question she never could answer: who am I? who are you? What do you mean YOU helped ME? Dont you realize that is not even possible? There is no you!!!

How do you get to doing it?

Like Nike - just do it? Swoosh?

Just start to do it? Like I"m doing it? I"m going to type for 5 minutes, and if there is anything interesting that comes up, I'll keep it, and if it's all crap, then I'll delete it before I publish it, or save it as a draft.

Keep on typing for whole time. Later today or tomorrow at the latest I have to create the first class of a 4 session class on self hypnosis. I am using an interesting book called "Instant Self Hypnosis," written by a guy who probably was trained by the same guy that trained me.

Instant Self Hypnosis, with your eyes open. Just read aloud a complete script. Well, that works for me. I do it a lot with my clients - I may read or make up or use a script memorized and we both go into a trance. With this book, anyone who wants to can hypnotize themselves. If they want to.

My class will give instruction not only using this book, but also in constructing suggestions, deepening techniques, and other techniques that are more "traditional." Though there isn't much traditional about Hypnosis...

Keep on typing. One more minute to go. wonder if i can see how many words in this post. Must be something in the wordpress I can use. There it is, on the right - word count updates every time a draft is saved. 257.

Anyway, I've found that when I sit with my clients I end up not only doing hypnosis with them, a lot of the time I also am counseling them about behaviors that they can change that will help them solve thier problem. Along with the hypnotic work. Because when a client leaves my office, I want them to succeed, and to start immediatly to see results. Even if its conscious behavior change, I think that reinforces the unconscious work we did.

Ok that's more than 5 minutes of writing. A keeper.

James.

I have just finished the design, including the logo, for a new ecommerce website CertainWords.co.uk.  They offer hypnosis CDs to help people stop smoking, and will be adding more CDs as they become available.  They also provide businesses with a way to help their staff stop smoking.  The NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence) guidelines now apparently state that businesses should be assisting their smoking staff to stop.

Anyway here is a look at my latest design.  They have some really interesting figures on how much smoking really costs you, it's surprising, maybe worth a visit.

Is your busy schedule keeping you from taking the time to look after your body the way you would like?  Are you working so much building your business that you have neglected your health especially your weight?  Have you gained a few pounds that you’re not proud of? 

Listen, I know how it is as a business owner and entrepreneur, your time is valuable and when you’re busy you don’t have the time to think about much except your business.  With such a demand on your schedule it is easy to pick up a few bad habits, which can lead to weight gain.

Let’s face it as we get older our metabolism slows down and our lives get busier and busier.

If this describes your situation I have a solution.  More importantly this solution won’t cost you a ton of money and it won’t take a ton of effort to implement.

My Friend Steve Roehm from Nashville Hypnosis has developed a new Trance Mutation program that is designed to help you develop the exact mind-set to lose weight. 

Steve’s new Trance Mutation program will help you go deeper into your psyche to get to the core of weight release. 

Notice I said weight release, that’s right weight release which is different than weight loss.  Weight loss is designed and accomplished through diet and portion control but most weight loss programs don’t work on the right mental mind set needed to “release” the weight.

With Steve’s new program all you have to do is commit to listening to this Mp3 for 10 minuets and you will begin to transform to your core the way you think and feel about food, and your weight.

Steve has allowed me to introduce you to his new product at a discounted rate.  For anyone who is interested in purchasing this great new Trance Mutation program to help you “release weight” Steve has allowed me to discount the price to $17 dollars.  He told me the price will go back up to the original price of $27 dollars at the end of the week.

Don’t pass up this opportunity to release those extra pounds, click on this link to order you Mp3 copy today.

5:45 found me searching for my workout clothes and shoes (my electric blue set energizes me, lol). At 6:07, I am walking into the chapel for intercessory prayer and 7:00 finds me on the first station at Curves. This is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it!

Over lunch I was reading Comfortable with Uncertainty (still!) in Westgate Park. While doing so, I began to be aware of what was around me. And, of course, what always strikes me in Westgate Park are the trees.

The trees are in that funny in-between stage. Not really green. Not really turned. It's the early october phase before the full burst of glory. And yet, if you look closely at individual leaves, some of them seem quite transformed.

I thought, "can we say these trees are still green? Turning? Turned? All of these? None of these?"

It struck me that the trees did an awfully good job of demonstrating how life is. Thich Nhat Hanh said this during a talk in Hong Kong last year:

"In order to answer what happens us when we die, we need to answer another question – what happens when we are alive?

What is happening now to us? In English we say ‘we are’ but it’s proper to say ‘we are becoming’ because things are becoming. We’re not the same person in two consecutive minutes.

A picture of you as baby looks different to you now. The fact is you are not exactly the same as that baby and not entirely a different person either. In a picture of you as a five year old, you are not exactly the same as that child and not entirely a different person either – the form, feelings and mental formations are different.

In the middle way there is no sameness and no otherness

You may think you are still alive but in fact you have been dying everyday, every minute, cells die and are born - for neither do we have funerals or birthdays (laughter)."

Such a continuum life and death is, and yet we choose to not see it that way.

Tonight, before choir rehearsal, I was eating dinner at the North Star Cafe. I had my favorite North Star Burger--yum! These beauties caught my eye as soon as I sat down:

Notice the dahlias on the left side? Pretty wilted. And every bit as beautiful as the one on the right. In fact, in some ways, more beautiful.

So the next time you think you're somewhere, just realize, you might not be! For now, I might be...

Undecided

(this one goes out to you-know-who!)

Be well, and at peace,

Phil

In this video I'm going to invite you to look at the way you think about your products and services in a kinda weird - but very powerful way. This thinking pattern has helped me generate MILLIONS for my clients and partners over the last 6 years.

This morning I was teaching a melody to a student on a glockenspiel. Very quickly I could see that we needed a review in mallet technique, so I said to him (and the rest of the class as well), "you know, playing a malleted percussion instrument is a lot like anything else in life. It requires balance. In order to get the best sound, you can't grip too tight, or the mallet won't bounce...then the sound just gets dampened, and goes flat. You can't let your grip be too loose, or the mallet might not give the mallet enough guidance to reach the target! You need to balance it just right..."

I think that was for me. No, I know it was for me.

Tonight, we were taking our walk in Schiller Park. Anthony started to meander up towards umbrella girl--why I wasn't sure--perhaps to get a better look-see at some puppies. Halfway there he turned around, but I decided to keep walking. In a few moments we stood in front of her. There she was, in stoic pose, one foot firmly planted, and the other pushing off. And, of course, umbrella in the air. "Rather silly," I thought, "no water spilling over the umbrella."

"What does an umbrella girl do when there's no more rain?"

"I guess she puts her umbrella away for safekeeping, until she needs it again."

"Except for this one. Silly girl. She ought to know better."

We continued our walk, and conversation, going around and around (as usual). Somewhere in the last loop, something fascinating happened. A shift.

"Oh," I said to Anthony, "my feet feel different." He looked quizzically at me.

"Huh. That's odd! Now it's my ankles too!"

It was as though my body really had contact with the planet. By the time we were almost home, the feeling included my legs.

Like trees. Something last night must have stuck.

I think I finally put my umbrella away...

...or found my balance.

When someone is under hypnosis, that person is actually completely aware of his or her environment, and is in control of his or her actions at all time. In fact, he or she is awake - just as awake as when you are in a really good movie that has all of your attention and 30 minutes has passed without even wondering the time, or when you’re driving a long stretch of highway and suddenly realize you have gone 20 miles and not even been aware of your surroundings.

So what does happen during hypnosis? Scott Adams (yes, the Dilbert creator, Scott Adams) has this to say about hypnosis.

“I describe the state of hypnosis as acquiring a power. The subject has all of his regular faculties operating plus he gains some more, if he has no objection to those new powers. For example, a subject under hypnosis would get a little extra power in one or more of these areas:

1. Extra relaxation
2. Extra imagination
3. Extra focus

Those extra powers don’t sound like much, but they are. In my experience, every person can be hypnotized, at least to the degree of getting some of those extra powers.  People who say they can’t be hypnotized don’t understand hypnosis.

About one person in five can experience what hypnotists call “the phenomena.” For those people, their powers of imagination become so strong it is almost indistinguishable from reality. Those are the people who can give birth without pain, or see an elephant in the room, or eat an onion and think it’s an orange, or have multiple orgasms on suggestion. My name for that group is “lucky bastards.” For them, hypnosis can fix a lot of problems.

For the rest of the world, hypnosis can be a great way to relax, which has lots of health benefits. And it can help focus on good habits and away from bad ones.”

We’ll approach specific uses of hypnosis in days to come. In the meantime, if you’re interested in hypnosis, contact us at www.oc-hypnosis.com or by phone 949-215-0955.

California caves to dopey demands of homophobic bigots - I blogged about Rachel Bird and Gideon Codding before. This was the couple that was so outraged that California changed the language on their marriage licenses from "bride" and "groom" to "Party A" and "Party B" in accordance with California law now legalizing gay marriage that they childishly opted not to sign their paperwork and to protest. Well apparently they won their case and the language is returning to what it was before. PZ Myers had a good suggestion though:

Now gay couples getting married in California will have to get their revenge: they should cheerfully appropriate the terms bride and groom, too. Rachel Bird can call herself a bride (she could all along, of course), but so can the biggest, butchest, bristly-bearded gay leatherman with a biker mustache…and he should be able to get state recognition of his status as a bride.

Westboro Baptist Church to protest at Joe Biden’s mother-in-law's funeral - I don't really know why I still report about these attention-seeking, media whore's except that as someone trying to convince people to reject religion, these guys make my job so much easier.

Answers in Genesis is praying for Bill Maher - Apparently,

He is definitely a poster boy for “lostness.”

This is great because when Bill never accepts their nonsense, it will serve as yet another proof that PRAYER DOESN'T WORK!

Nudie Church - It's how Adam and Eve would have held church services. And wouldn't you know it, other Christians aren't too happy about it.

Obesity and health - Despite the obvious evidence that obesity is linked to serious health risks, some deniers still won't accept it.

CRAP-BASED MEDICINE NEWS:

Deja vu - Fresh on the heels of 1 pathetic study that the mainstream media touted as proof that acupuncture was effective in treating hot flashes comes yet another absurd study suggesting hypnosis is effective in treating hot flashes. You won't believe what the flaws in the study are:

That's right, there is no placebo control group. It's no treatment versus hypnosis. Remember yet again, as I've discussed before, hot flashes are highly subject to the placebo effect. Indeed, placebo effects as high as 40% have been documented in previous studies.

I'm starting to think I should urinate in a cup, get just 1 woman with hot flashes to drink it, and if she gets better over time to just market it as effective in treating hot flashes.

Alt. Med.: not just for people anymore - Alternative Medicine has been making a killing marketing to pet owners. And it's really easy to do because your pets can't tell you these guys are quacks.

Shruggie (noun): a person who doesn’t care about the science versus pseudoscience debate - Newest Science-Based Medicine blogger Val Jones recounts her journey from indifference towards crap-based pseudoscience to skeptical blogger.

ATHEIST DISCRIMINATION:

Republicans smear Senate candidate Kay Hagan for meeting with atheists - I've blogged about this race in North Carolina between Hagan and anti-atheist bigot Elizabeth Dole. And so far, Hagan is still winning but like McCain when he's down in the polls, Dole seems to now be trying to exploit Hagan’s attendance at a fundraiser last month held by 2 atheists who were very active with the ACLU, continue to stand for the rights of the oppressed, work with church/state separation group. Here is the despicable mailing that just went out from the North Carolina Republican State Executive Committee about Hagan.

EPIC FAIL!

Bill Donohue draws more attention to Crackergate aka The Eucharist Challenge:

Under the name fsmdude, a Canadian man, Dominique, has posted over 40 videos on YouTube desecrating the Eucharist. Catholic League president Bill Donohue responds as follows:

“On September 29, I wrote to YouTube CEO Chad Hurley asking him to take down these offensive videos. I left a phone message for him on October 3, but he refuses to respond. Accordingly, I have posted my own video on YouTube calling attention to this matter.

So I expect FSMdude to see a large increase in visitors now that Donohue has actually helped publicize his videos on YouTube. Good thinkin' Bill. I highly recommend everyone visit Bill's video page, comment on it, and rate it a full 5 stars. Let's make sure everyone knows about the Eucharist Challenge.

And here are some more related videos: here and here.

EVOLUTION TODAY:

Are humans still evolving? - According to geneticist Steve Jones human evolution is grinding to a halt. Tell that to the formerly 12-fingered actress Gemma Arterton, who's playing the newest Bong girl in Quantum of Solace.

University of Oklahoma goes off my "don't know anything about you" list and onto my "Awesome" list - They're offering a year of Darwin celebrations to celebrate his big 200th anniversary.

AND NOW FOR A MOMENT OF SCIENCE:

Snippets Of DNA Withstand Eons Of Evolution - "Small stretches of seemingly useless DNA harbor a big secret, say researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine. There's one problem: We don't know what it is. Although individual laboratory animals appear to live happily when these genetic ciphers are deleted, these snippets have been highly conserved throughout evolution."

Yoga class with Beeker is wonderful! We did the tree pose twice, and then once with partners (mine was Anthony). Intresting. First time, tipple, topple, nearly tumble every time I try to stand on one foot. Oh, how that tree pose frustrates me. And tonight, we were on the patio, staring at trees.

Then we did something else for a while.

Then, Beeker said, "lets prepare to do tree pose again, but before you do, stand with your feet and legs anchored, and your hands in fists. Now for every association with a tree that comes to your mind, hold out a finger, and see how many come to mind...now choose the one that most resonates in you, and be mindful of it while you do tree pose again."

Roots.

Amazing.

Much more like a tree.

Then we did something else again.

Then, Beeker said, "now I'm going to teach you how to be a tree with someone else. In our lives, we need to be able to interact and intertwine with others, while maintaining our own sense of center and balance."

I liked it.

Later on, at Blue Heron Sangha, we listened to a CD that guided us in a walking meditation. The CD talked about feeling like a...you guessed it...tree at the beginning. I had such a chuckle inside of me!

Be a tree. And you know how to best do that for you now, don't you?

And now, my favorite song about a tree, sung by a man who is still my friend, even though he no longer walks this Earth. Mister Rogers, I will never forget that phone call...
