Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens."

"Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't."
Pete Seeger

"The most exquisite paradox as soon as you give it all up, you can have it all. As long as you want power, you can't have it. The minute you don't want power, you'll have more than you ever dreamed possible."
Ram Dass

"What lies before us and what lies behind us are small matters compared to what lies within us.

And when we bring what is within out into the world, miracles happen."

"There is no unnatual or supernatural experience. There is just experience."
Dr. Edgar Mitchell

"Cowardice asks the question, Is it safe?
Expediency asks the question, Is it politic?
Vanity asks the question, Is it popular?
But conscience asks the question, Is it right?
And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular; but he must take it because his conscience tells him that it is right."

Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Your outer circumstances are but a reflection of your inner thoughts."
Various authors

True Story

This UK Hypnotherapist shared this incredible real life experience:

On The Lite Side

"In common with most Hypnotherapists, I was taught to respond to sounds within and without the therapy room and utilise them into the induction.

A few weeks ago, as I met my client at the front door, I noticed storm clouds gathering overhead. As he took his seat, the first gentle rumbles could be heard in the distance and in my mind, I was thinking how I could utilise this once we got down to work.

Having established rapport, my induction went like a dream and my client was
sprawled out, beautifully relaxed and responding to my instructions for deepening. I had closed the curtains and by now had forgotten about the potential storm as I practised my art.

storms heading our way

Suddenly, there was a crack of thunder close by. I quickly built this into my script and my client slumbered on. What came next is hilarious on reflection, but was chaotic at the time.

CCCRRAASHHH!!!!!! a huge thunderclap took place overhead accompanied by a massive flash of lightning. My initial thought was oh! F-F-F for goodness sake. However, thinking on my feet, I quickly built this event into the trance.

Shortly afterwards, an even bigger crash of thunder was followed by a flash of lightning, which hit my burglar alarm. "And the sound of the burglar alarm needn't bother you at all…" I suggested. He didn't move. It got worse. The two panic alarms screeched into life, their discordant harmonies seeking synthesis with the alarm. Still he slumbered on.

storms and dark clouds

BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! (said the front door). "And the sound of the door banging takes you deeper and deeper into trance …" he slumbered on. I opened the door to a very loud neighbour who was concerned that I was being attacked.

My client slumbered on. The alarm and panic alarms screeched on. The phone rang. It was the alarm company. Did I know the alarms were all ringing. Yes! I had noticed something was awry. Could I speak up as they couldn't hear me because of the noise.

BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! DING! DONG! "POLICE, OPEN UP!". Did I know that my alarm was ringing? Well, yes, it had crossed my mind that something was amiss. My client maintained his hypnotic posture. Finally, my wife returned home. Did I realise the alarms had gone off. 'Really? The alarms? Gone off? Well fancy that.'

My wife dealt with the alarm company, whilst I returned to sleeping beauty. I finished the therapy and as I brought him out of trance, he smiled, said how good and relaxed he felt, and made his next appointment.

He said that he had heard various sounds, but they hadn't bothered him at all. By this time my nerves were shot and my head was throbbing in rhythm with the alarms.

So, next time you utilise the sounds of the room/street, think of me.

Wayne Clayton-Robb (Superstar)

"Now it is time for us to focus on what happens next.

The more we delve into how we got where we are, the more we stay where we were.

The more we analyse what is not working, the more things do not work.

And the more we consider how we would like it to be, the more things become as we would have them.

The choice is ours…"
