Ericksonian Hypnosis For Hypnotherapists -- Accessing Unconscious
Déjà vu in the laboratory.
This experiment aimed to create a laboratory analogue of déjà vu. During hypnosis, 1 group of high hypnotizables completed a puzzle game and then received a posthypnotic amnesia suggestion to forget the game (PHA condition). Another group of highs were not given the game but received a posthypnotic familiarity suggestion that it would feel familiar (PHF condition). After hypnosis, all participants were given the game and described their reactions to it. Whereas 83% of participants in both conditions passed their respective suggestions, more in the PHF condition felt a sense of déjà vu. An EAT inquiry revealed that they experienced sensory fascination and confusion about the source of familiarity, akin to everyday déjà vu. These findings highlight the value of using hypnosis as a laboratory analogue of déjà vu and provide a framework for investigating clinical manifestations of this phenomenon.

Achieve Freedom from your Addiction to Gambling
I remember attending a conference several years ago at a casino in Reno, Nevada. As I was walking to a meeting it became necessary to go through the black jack tables and slot machines areas. My path led me past one of their many cashier facilities. Right where people would get in line to buy their chips there was a sign clearly warning people not to gamble if certain situations existed. These included raising money for medical expenses, to pay a mortgage, and others. During a conversation with a taxi driver he told me about the unusual...
Unless you are one of very few lucky people, most likely the only way that you will ever be successful is to commit to taking the massive action required to achieve a goal. Star athletes, successful business people, and even those who have found the love of their lives realize that without commitment, nothing will ever be achieved. So, if this is such as well-established fact, why isn’t everyone a total success.
The answer to that question is that for too many people several of the areas of their brain, which should normally help them become masters of their universe, have enabled them to...
