Have fun doing this exercise, as you beginning to train your mind to create positive future images. These images can then be used in later exercises for setting off a “touch anchor” or for another technique call the “map across.”
So here is your mind-expanding exercise, read all the directions first:
Answer the following Questions:
1. What would a perfect day be like for you?
2. What would you be feeling, seeing or hearing in this perfect day?
3. Put in everything from the smallest stuff to what is happening and whom you are with.
Here is a very important part of how to write this.
1. Write what you are feeling, seeing or hearing as if you are experiencing it right now.
Or
2. You can write it down as if you were looking back, at the end of the day and reporting on what happened. What you saw, felt, heard.
Present moment example: I am walking in the forest, seeing the sun streaming through the leaves of the trees. The smell of the pine needles as they crunch under my feet, is so soothing. And there just a few feet away, there is a bird with the most beautiful red color, I can hardly believe I’m lucky enough to be in this place at this time, and my best friend walking next to me. . . . (present tense).
Or I spent the most wonderful day, it was so perfect for me because I started out not even knowing that I would see the most beautiful sights, and find joy in a simple walk . . . . (As if the event has already happened)
As you describe the perfect day step into it, be there, feel the feeling, see what there is to be seen. Notice what happens in your body as you act “as if” you are in the event.
Please take action and write it down first. In this way you make sure it is set in the present as if you are experiencing it. Or as if you are “in it” once again as you remember the day from the end of the day.
But, even just “thinking” about and being in the most beautiful day creates a change in your state. You’ll find that when you actually take the action of doing this exercise your unconscious will hear it as if it is happening and your “state of mind” can shift as if you actually just had a positive day. Many people notice an immediate shift in their energy level after dong this exercise. Notice which way has more power for you writing or thinking about it in the present tense or writing or thinking about it as if it already happened.

Hope to have you join us in this journey of self discovery.

We had an amazing group of people at the Coaching call for “Freeing Yourself From the Shackles of Fear, Anxiety, & Feeling Stuck”.
The action plan for next week is to find a memory for calm, security or confidence. We’ll be using this memory in a technique that will trigger the calm feeling whenever desired.
For my readers I decided to give you a quick overview of what we are doing, so you can follow along with with this action step. To get coaching on this and many other calming techniques I hope you will sign up for our next TeleWorkshop, March 11th, 2010. There is still time to get in on this group.
Creating a feeling of security, confidence, and calm
A. First step for this is to have a vision or memory of the feelings you want.
There are two ways to do this: Find a memory from the past or to create a new memory or “visualization” of a future event.
1.Find a memory from the past.
a. Remember a time when you had the feelings of confidence, calm or comfort.
b. To do this just close your eyes and drift back to a time in your life, even a brief memory when you felt confidence, calm or comfort.
2. Create a “new memory”.
a. To create a “new memory” we need to create a vision of what a confident, calm or comfortable day
b. The vision we create uses not just a picture, but also sound, and feelings.
c. To do that you use your imagination.
I’ll use an example from my online coaching group to demonstrate.
Example: The group member who is directing and producing a movie, could “see herself at an award ceremony”. The famous actress she has in her film, walking to the stage to accept the award. People congratulating her on her amazing movie, on a job well done. She would step into that “future self” and feel the feelings as if she were there.
Group members working on relationship issues would create a different image. One might see herself in the future, with her son hugging her in total joy, as he graduates from college. She would step into that image and feel all the success as a parent, having brought up such a wonderful loving son.
Another person would in an airplane, off on an adventure, pleased that he now feels calm and relaxed. As he steps into himself he can feel the amazement that this is now so easy to do. Perhaps it would be a future image after having traveled successfully, many, many times.
Do step one. Start by having some fun with this exercise. We are using this to expand your mind to the positive side of your creativity. These images can then be used in later exercises for setting off a “touch anchor” or for another technique call the “map across.”

Hope to have you join us in this journey of self discovery.

The following is an article written by Audrey Sussman PhD, LCSW, NBCCH, CSL. If you have questions after reading it, please send them to Audrey. Clicking on her name will take you directly to her email.
Recently, when I was snowed in I was flipping through the channels and came across of a new TV show called “Past Life.” This show brings up an interesting concept of whether past lives exist.
In this TV show they accept the premise that not only do past lives exist, but that a traumatic past life experience can be remembered.
The last episode of the TV show was about a young boy who kept getting “flash backs” to a person screaming at “him.” These memories and the fear that went with them made him feel out of control. As I watched the show they did a great job showing how a person in the middle of a panic attack feels. His anxiety attacks were getting in the way of his present life.
The boy was re-living a trauma from a “past life.” And when it happened he had difficulty distinguishing between what was “real” and what was a “flash back.”
Whether or not you believe in past lives, what I have learned as a hypno-therapist is that old memories (ones from our childhood) can and do influence our reactions. In real life (not TV shows) a person may not be aware of these old memories. They might just know that they are feeling anxiety, and not know where it is coming from. That is where hypnotic techniques can be extremely helpful. By going to the part of the mind that stores old memories and releasing old negative “junk” at the root so a person is freed up to move on with life.
I have done regressions with people where they do go to a past life. And I will discuss some of my findings in another article. When old memories and “flash backs” create havoc in a person’s present life, they need to be uncovered and released. Once you are conscious of what is triggering panic and anxiety it becomes possible to change it.
In my practice I use memories a person uncovers, to help to solve present life issues. We don’t have to decide whether the memories are exactly “true”, we act as if they are in order to heal them. In this TV show they have a person, who believes in the boy’s experience. Believing in someone is healing in itself. She doesn’t diagnose him; she uses his flashbacks as information to solve a crime. This is the same concept a hypno-therapist uses, not to judge whether it is true or not, just accept it, as if it is true and use it for a positive healing purpose.
Of course, this “Past Life” TV show has everything is all unraveled in a half-hour. The crime is solved and the boy goes on with his life, relieved of his past life trauma. Even using hypnotic techniques it will take more than 30 minutes, yet I have found that using Hypnosis helps a person to free themselves of trauma, and old limiting beliefs. That is why I was so delighted to see a show that is dealing with the issues of past influencing the present.
Many people have questions and doubt about past life issues. You might wonder if it is even possible to have had a past life. Or if you believe in past life whether a past life can affect present life issues.
There are many ways to release old fear that gets in the way. If you suffer from anxiety, stress, anger or fear. If you procrastinate or use food to gain calm. Or if you would like to put a stop to the negative message that play in your mind, You can learn to use self-hypnosis to get to the root of these issues.

Dec 26
Yesterday we were discussing the difficulty people have in trying to change an negative habit using the conscious part of the mind.
I received the following question: “So you think a person can’t change using conscious, cognitive thoughts?”
Actually the question sounds more like a belief the person who sent it in holds (about the way to stop old habits or make changes).
I understand why a person might believe that change needs to be hard work or that if somehow we try hard enough, change will happen. Perhaps it might be able to be done just by telling ourselves to change, I haven’t found that to be the case. And even if it were possible it would take so many repetitions that you would probably stop trying before hitting success.
I’m know many people have experienced the frustration of trying to change, by telling themselves to do it different, or by repeating a mantra, over and over.
But, rather than talking more about this, let’s just do the following exercise. Then we’ll discuss more about why I believe that using the “right” part of the mind is vital to making change last.
Well guess we’ll have to wait till tomorrow’s post for the exercise. I’m part of a challenge to keep my posts shorter, so I’ll see you tomorrow for the exercise.
We are still accepting questions for our upcoming teleseminar on procrastination and fear. We have lots of questions we haven’t answered yet, and will continue posting the answers in the upcoming weeks.
