| The techniques of NLP 3 can be more
effective if associated with hypnosis and self-hypnosis
techniques related to the employment of positive thinking
techniques. In order to explain the difference existing between
these two techniques I will make use of a metaphor: Hypnosis can
be compared to clay modelling helped by water. Positive thinking
is compared to clay modelling with no water. It is clear that in
the first case water employment allows us to be more effective
in modelling in relation to the second case, where only the
dampness of our hands is utilized to help with the moulding. The
modified state of conscience hypnosis provokes, allows us to
mould the shapes assumed by the combination of neurons (cerebral
cells) occurring in the brain. And each of our thoughts
corresponds to a specific neural shape. If, for example, I
decide to lift an arm up, neurons immediately take a determined
disposal. In this way it is possible to rearrange cerebral cells
in such a way as to remove our interior limits and focus on our
own aims. All our automatic behaviours have got corresponding
neural patterns and whenever a necessity occurs, we approach
these patterns fulfilling previously agreed paths: when someone
holds out his/her hand, we shake it; if the oil light is red, we
stop the engine of the car; if the telephone rings, we answer
it. This rule is also true for all those undesired behaviours
and for all those behavioural disorders that make our life
difficult: when the previously agreed conditions appear, the
program starts our undesired behaviour. But sometimes we manage
to escape from these behaviours, to make a pattern interruption.
For example, we do not observe the oil light, when we have an
emergency, we do not answer the phone if we are busy doing an
activity we do not want to withdraw our attention from; we do
not shake hands to anyone proffering his/her hand if he/she is
particularly nasty: our mind can manage to escape from these
patterns and we are sometimes able to change some devices of
undesired behaviour when these have overcome the endurance
threshold . |

patterns and we are sometimes able to change some devices of
undesired behaviour when these have overcome the endurance
threshold . When we are children we endure a series of
emotionally involving situations which to be overcome make us
adopt a series of behavioural strategies that for that moment,
for that age we consider relevant. If at the age of three we
find ourselves lonely in the darkness and we do not know where
our parents are, we start to shout, to shake, to imagine that
monster our grandfather often told us about. This behaviour can
be suitable for three year olds but cannot be tolerated at in a
more adult age. And we can't understand why in the darkness we
strongly feel like shouting, we feel awful, and we are restless.
A part of ourselves has been trapped, frozen in time at the age
of three, neural patterns have been stuck in that sequence.
Thanks to the work proposed in this book it is possible to
rearrange our own restrictive convictions in strengthening
convictions owing to guided views and to NLP specific
techniques. Hypnosis is a means of direct communication with the
unconscious and during guided views you'll be induced into a
slight trance. This will allow you to mould clay, to reshape
those behaviours you no longer need. We often restrict our life
because we think it is restricted. This conviction should be
shattered because the capabilities of our brain are plenty and
we only exploit 10%. A few people know that correct breathing
enables us to access those neurons that are asleep and in this
way,open up towards a series of thinking processes not yet
employed. In fact, deep breathing enables us to appropriate more
oxygen and in this way give more energy to sleeping neurons. |
