Self Hypnosis Courses

Course 1

Hypnosis has had a bad press.  It seems to most people that hypnosis is good for stopping smoking, reducing weight and making people on stage look ridiculous, but there is more to it than that.  If we look a little deeper into the work of hypnotherapists, we see them helping people with depression, addictions, phobias and even physiological problems.  Hypnosis has been curing people with serious illness for hundreds of years, but reports in medical journals have somehow been overlooked.

Effectiveness of Hypnosis

In 1953 a British Medical Association Subcommittee reported that Hypnotism “is a proper subject for enquiry by the tried methods of medical research and that it should be taught far more widely than it is".   (1)

Researcher W. L. La Baw of the University of Colorado Medical Centre reports “The usefulness of suggestive therapy (hypnosis) with bleeders has long been recognised”.  La Baw considers this treatment so safe that he wants to encourage the use of self-hypnosis by children, more routinely than is usual, rather than, “reserving it only for urgent problems”.  Self-hypnosis is also taught to children suffering from cancer to alleviate the side effects of their treatment. (2)

Learning self-hypnosis is a safe and simple way to learn how to tap into the largely unused potential of our subconscious mind.  In this way we can use our inner abilities to:

• Create calmness
• Gain confidence
• Achieve important goals
• Improve self-esteem
• Increase our ability for self-healing
• Fulfil our individual needs
• Learn deep relaxation
• Relieve stress
• Overcome addiction
• Work towards individuation
• Overcome physical problems

Course 2

Self-hypnosis to Accelerate Individualisation (Enlightenment)

“The unconscious mind of man sees correctly even when conscious reason is blind and impotent”

Jung’s individuation is defined as:
 
Self-realization-- “coming to selfhood” or “self-realization”  the conscious personality the birth of the self means a shift in its psychic centre, and consequently an entirely different attitude toward, and view of, life--in other words a transformation in the fullest sense of the word. The Self is often symbolized by a circle or mandala, glyphs which represent completeness. Individuation is an ongoing endless process, and that as it progresses, the chief danger is an inflation of the ego. 
One becomes a person, an individual, a totally integrated personality. It is a process of self realization during which one integrates those contents of the psyche that have the ability to become conscious. It is a search for totality. It is an experience that could be formulated as the discovery of the divine in yourself, or the discovery of the totality of your Self.

This workshop is designed to be run over a two day period. It can either be as an intensive weekend or on two separate occasions.

The theme of the course is that self-hypnosis deepens meditation and that Jung’s process of individualisation can be accelerated by combining these techniques.

Osho explains:

“While using hypnosis in the service of meditation, I have noticed that the line between therapy and meditation is dissolving. As witnessing can become easy and natural in hypnosis, it seems to provide the ground for a quantum leap into no-mind” ….


Therefore the fist day of this workshop will be exploring how self-hypnosis can be used with different meditation techniques that are useful for going into the deepest levels of self.

The second day of this workshop will be to look at Jung’s individuation, its process and how self-hypnosis combined with meditation can accelerate this development in particular the Anima/Animus. and the self.  Prices....
