Have you been hypnotized before?

*Bringing a client into full-body catalepsy.*

Yes.

You’ve been hypnotized before when you’re in a theta brain wave state, such as sleeping and dreaming…

When you were between the ages of 0-7 and your brain was developing…

When you’ve been in meditation, deeply focused, or praying…

During my NLP Master Practitioner training, we finished the intensive by bringing a client into hypnosis…

(Which, by the way, is one of the most studied forms of alternative health, because for example, people have been able to use hypnosis in every major surgery to bypass anesthesia.)

The point of this exercise is to demonstrate how powerful your UNCONSCIOUS MIND is.

That when you allow yourself, you can achieve remarkable feats!

My client was supremely anxious.

The first time I practiced the hypnosis process with her, she didn’t want to continue.

Her conscious mind disrupted the flow, even though she was already in a deep trance state.

So, we stopped. Because NLP coaching is a “do with” process. No one’s doing anything “to” you.

I reminded her that your unconscious mind won’t do anything that goes against your values.

Then, I offered to be the client instead.

She watched me go through the exact same process she did. Honestly, I was concerned my conscious mind would be too loud to follow-through, but I trusted the process. I wanted to know how powerful I could be.

And I lay across two chairs with ease.

Then, when she became the client again, I reminded her about how safe and powerful she is.

We were able to put her into full body catalepsy, where she could lie between two chairs fully rigid with absolute ease.

If you try doing this consciously, muscling your way through a reverse plank, you begin shaking. It’s INCREDIBLY hard to do, even for the fittest person.

She could have laid like this for awhile.

We brought her out to the present state and she felt transformed.

To know that her unconscious mind, cleared of any blocks and stories of her “rational” mind, could achieve exceptional feats inspired her to do more, be more, and feel more powerful inside and out.
