Hello , and welcome to this week's Adam Up,

And boy do we have some amazing things in store for the New Year that we are really excited to share with you. Until then, I have a number of processes and techniques to share with you all, a couple of which are designed to enhance and help you develop your self-hypnosis skills. Before I crack on with this week's Adam Up...

On To Today's Adam Up ... |
Recently, in the midst of a discussion I was having with a prospective student, we were discussing the importance of being able to engage our imagination. Those of you that read my blog or these ezine articles on a regular basis will be aware that mental imagery techniques and processes are central to the way I employ self-hypnosis. Yet this particular woman, like so many others that I encounter stated that she really struggled to visualise or even to get any modicum of stability in the images that were in her mind. She got flashes and had distractions and found it thoroughly frustrating.
That frustrated sense is really going to impede the ability to visualise in hypnosis sessions and what we often refer to as the 'The Effort Error' which can obstruct us greatly not just with visualising, but in using self-hypnosis at all with any degree of success. Really throughout our hypnosis sessions, we do need to avoid any excess mental or physical effort that can frustrate and hinder our progress, and therefore although it may not be the most fashionable, slick or dynamic thing to do, using progressive relaxation techniques in conjunction with self-hypnosis can actually be incredibly useful.
If we have any anxiety, concern or even a fear of failure, any one of these things can obstruct the progress we desire with self-hypnosis and mental imagery processes. So practicing relaxing throughout is one particular means of helping providing a great self-hypnosis experience. In line with auto-suggestion pioneer, Emile Coué and his law of reversed effect, we want to stop trying and exerting ourselves so much as that obstructs our progress. Everyone is capable of visualising and using mental imagery to great effect in conjunction with self-hypnosis. When we have a positive expectancy, correct expectations and engage our imaginations, the process can and does become smooth with practice.
Today I thought I'd highlight a very simple, but often overlooked way to simply practice getting better at visualising within self-hypnosis sessions with the use of cognitions to direct, guide and keep on track. You'll be incorporating verbal affirmations that accompany your visualisations and repeat the process over and over. What tends to happen is that the cognitions keep the focus, block out potential distractions and engage the mind in order that you learn (with repetition and over time) how to focus on the images and your mental imagery prolongs and becomes more vivid.

Using Cognitions Within Self-Hypnosis Sessions To Enhance Imagery |
|
Simply follow these steps:
|
Step One - Induce Hypnosis
|
|
|
Step Two
|
Firstly imagine yourself in a favourite place. It can be somewhere you have been to before, or somewhere you are creating and imagining in your mind. Let it be a place where you feel safe, secure and at ease. Start to get a sense of the scenery of this place; notice the colours, shades of light and textures of what you see. You can notice sounds too, and enjoy the comfortable feelings, but primarily we are working with your visualisation here. Just get as much detail as you can for now, and then move on to the next step. |
Step Three
|
Now begin to state clearly to yourself using your internal dialogue the scene that is around you. Use statements that affirm what you are visualising and include the fact that you are seeing and visualising these things within your statements: For example - "I now picture the trees being blown slightly by the breeze"
- "I notice the green colour of the leaves of the trees"
- "I am imagining the trees to be 20 metres away from me"
- "I am visualising the trees to be in a group, clustered together"
The above was fairly tree-centred. However, you can then move on to other facets and aspects of the scene around you, just stating and repeating that you are seeing XYZ happening and that you watch ABC in detail. When you have done this for the entire scene, then move on to the next step.
|
Step Four
|
Now think of some desired outcome that you have for yourself in your life. Perhaps it is a health and fitness outcome, or something to do with your work or aspirations or family. Whatever kind of desired outcome you have, start to have a think about yourself successfully taking the actions required and start to think of that target situation. As you imagine and visualise the scene with you in it, doing that successful outcome, again, start to use your cognitions to affirm your visualised scene: For example; - "I now picture myself confidently presenting in a meeting."
- "I see myself in that situation making healthier food choices." And so on.
While you repeat these statements, let your internal dialogue be calming, soothing and enjoyable. Let it enhance your relaxation as you do this. Remember that remaining relaxed and positive throughout, with a peace of mind is important to help you develop proficiency with this. Then move on to the next step.
|
Step Five
|
As you continue to describe what you see, using your cognitions to keep your mind focused, repeat those cognitions and statements over and over and gently. Keep telling yourself that you can see more detail and picture things more vividly as you focus upon it and as you use your cognitions. Step Six: When you have practiced and repeated the cognitions for this scene to the best of your ability, then take a couple of nice big deep energising breaths, wiggle your toes and fingers and come out of this session.
This depends on repetition for your visualisation to get better. If you practiced this process a couple of times a day for a couple of weeks, you'll start to notice distinct results with your own visualisation skills within self-hypnosis and those of you that are hypnosis professionals can of course use this process and instruct your clients to use their own cognitions throughout hypnosis sessions if they ever struggle to visualise in therapy.

MELANIE RIVERA
Having just completed Adam's 10 month diploma course and thoroughly enjoyed it, it brings me great pleasure to write this review. I just want to say that if you have decided that you would like to embark on a career in hypnotherapy; and you are now at the stage of deciding on the right training school for you...
Search no more, Adam's course in my mind is the best of the best! From beginning to end you will be hypnotized by the way in which Adam delivers his course material to you. I found Adam to be a very fun and charismatic guy; he will have you in stitches laughing! He is a brilliant teacher, very clear and easy to understand. For me the whole course has been like a personal journey towards a successful ending. Adam demonstrates many of the techniques so you really get to sample how talented he is as a hypnotherapist. I have to say that on more than one occasion when Adam did a class demonstration; I noticed some big changes take place in my own confidence and in the rate of my learning... I put down this down to benefiting from being in deep hypnosis myself during his demo.
Adam is very attentive and very observant, he doesn't miss a trick. He seems to distribute his attention towards each individual at the right time, as a result you really feel like you get a very personalized learning experience. I might add that this course isn't a 'cake walk'... Prepare to 'work your socks off!' In terms of homework, you really have to be committed and keep on top of it. I can honestly say that it is all worth it and, having completed Adam's course, I do feel competent enough to embark on my career as a hypnotherapist.

(pictured here firewalking) Adam is unique trainer or, as I like to think now, my mentor. With a perfect balance of seriousness and fun mixed together, he creates an enjoyable and learning atmosphere which keeps you wanting more. I spent over a year looking at different courses and chatting to other trainers and I can honestly say that I made the best choice that was right for me.
Adam's knowledge and passion for the subject surpasses that of anyone else I have met in this field, and Adam is very generous with his sharing of that knowledge. It is obvious from the beginning that Adam knows what he's doing and that you have made the right choice in joining the course. Prepare to amaze yourself in the things you know and can talk about with others confidently as you progress through the course, I did and I still do today. If you want an enjoyable learning experience with a trainer that really does want you to be the best you can be, then take that next step. To sum up the course in three words, Creative, Enjoyable, Diverse.

HELEN JOHNSTONE "I attended the 10 month course which ran from October 2011- July 2012. The course is interesting, fun, fast paced, encouraging, confidence building, skill packing and very professionally run by Adam and his team. Realistically, it required a lot of committment in time and effort, which in reality was easy to give with the knowledge and new zest for learning that Adam's enthusiasm brings. Adam and his team were of constant support to me throughout the course and I feel lucky to be able to consider them to be good friends and confidantes now.
I have qualified and feel confident that the knowledge,confidence, skills and practical experience I have gained during this course will serve me very well in practice"..

GEORGE WATSON - GLENROTHES, FIFE, SCOTLAND "I booked up to Adam Eason School of Therapeutic Hypnosis in 2010, and I really did not know what to expect, I was very interested in Hypnosis, but what is taught throughout the diploma course is by far the best around. Adam's very unique style is very uplifting and thorough and I leave his school with much more knowledge and well trained in clinical hypnotherapy. If you want trained to the high standard that Therapeutic Hypnotherapy should attain then look no further than Adam's School" |
