The initial portion will include a walkthrough and practice of different meditation techniques and mental exercises that help develop useful skills for focus, stilling your mind, focused awareness, and visualization (and other forms of sensory focus), as well as discussion of self-hypnosis. Participants may find it more comfortable to bring a blanket or cushion for this practice session if they wish to sit on the floor for meditation.
In the second portion of the class, we will discuss how to use some of the skills practiced in the first half to “prepare” your mind for a hypnotic session and to implement hypnotic self-protection techniques, such as blocking, editing, and, if necessary, getting rid of suggestions.
