You know how it is when sometimes you do the daftest of things, or when you make those little mistakes that cause you feel such a fool? Your inner chatter then goes on and on and on until you're virtually driven insane by the mundaneness of it's content. Well the following made me chuckle and is reminder to make light of such occasions. Perhaps you can apply it to something you consider total muppetry that you've done recently and instead of fretting, will make you smile:

"The sages do not consider that making no mistakes is a blessing. They believe, rather, that the great virtue of man lies in his ability to correct his mistakes and continually make a new man of himself."
Wang Yang-Ming

....and to be politically correct, change gender where appropriate!

You may read the following through to yourself several
times until you remember the process or you may record it
onto a tape.
1. Either lie down or find a comfortable chair - make sure
your lower back is supported, your arms resting either by
your side or gently in your lap and uncross your legs.
2. Take a deep breath, filling your lungs completely, then
hold for a moment before breathing out. Gently allow your
eyes to close……….
3. Focus for a moment upon your breathing - a slow and
gentle rhythm and become aware of your chest rising and
falling with each breath.
4. Now take another slow and gentle breath in…. hold it for
a moment…then breathe out, and with each breath out, feel
your body sinking deeper and deeper into your chair as you
say to yourself ‘ONE’.
5. Take another deep breath and as you breathe out say the
word ‘TWO’. With each number you’ll feel your limbs
relaxing even more.
6. Repeat this 3 more times counting ‘THREE’, ‘FOUR’ and
‘FIVE’ on each breath out. Then just breathe normally at
your own rhythm.
8. Now do a mental scan of your body; notice any parts of
your body that might feel tense or tight. Each time you
breathe out ‘talk’ to that part saying ‘RELAX’, ‘LET GO’.
Repeat this until you feel completely relaxed.
9. Mentally ask yourself “How many minutes do I need?”
You’ll get a number pop up in your mind, accept that and
tell yourself that you’ll automatically ‘awaken’ when the
time is up (remember this isn’t sleep).
10. Imagine now an energy field around your body. See it
as a colour if you wish – feel its power energizing you.
Whatever your mind or body needs, the energy field will
give you, feel it working upon the cells of your body.
When you are ready, you’ll suddenly be aware of the need to
open your eyes. If you wish you may count from ‘FIVE’ to
‘ONE’ knowing that on the count of one your eyes will open
and you’ll feel RELAXED and ENERGIZED.

Many of the techniques used with self-hypnosis require a certain amount of visualization yet this can be a real stumbling block for some people.

The fact is we all do! Your brain is constantly flashing images as thoughts pass through your mind. When a more significant event occurs, your brain can be quite detailed about what it records. It’s thought these images are recorded in a sequence of ‘frames’ much like a roll of film.

When a client tells me they can’t visualize I don’t make a big deal of it, I just suggest that they get a ‘feeling’ instead. Once in hypnosis, they’ll often begin recounting pictures quite vividly.

This is because the hypnotic state causes you to feel so very relaxed that you become quite unconcerned about things. Providing the environment is one that you feel safe in, you’ll let go of any anxieties and ‘go with the flow’.

But what about when you’re practising on your own and you don’t have the guidance of a therapist with you? You may find that creating pictures in your mind are not so forthcoming.

If consciously visualizing is new to you, it can take a bit of practise to perfect so that when the time comes you find it easy to bring an image into your minds-eye. Spending a couple of minutes here and there to practise, will allow your self-hypnosis session to flow easily and effortlessly.

So over the next 2 weeks, start to really observe objects around you. Notice the details such as the texture, shades of colour and depth. Then close your eyes and ‘see’ how well you can see that image in your mind’s eye. Repeat the exercise as often as you can, perhaps choosing the same object for a day or two and then with as many varied objects as you can.

You’ll be amazed at how you’ll soon start to observe more generally. Over time this helps to develop your intuition as well, which is an extremely useful ability you’ll learn to apply in many ways.

Finally, as you practise, you’ll notice that observing an object becomes very relaxing. You may notice that your breathing slows down -- perhaps you even take a deeper breath every now and then. Try repeating the word ‘CALM’ as you take in all the details of your chosen object -- this practise by itself will bring you a moment of peace and relaxation during your day!

1. Subconscious Computer:
You’ve probably had the experience of a certain smell, object or
place triggering an instant recall of a particular time in the past.

Your subconscious mind is like a massive computer that stores all
the information about you – your life experiences, memories and
the beliefs you have developed resulting from those experiences.

You may also get in touch with the ‘feelings’ you had surrounding
that event because your emotions are directly linked to memory.

2. You’re On Automatic Pilot 24/7:
Your subconscious is responsible for all the automatic functions
of your body: your heartbeat, breathing, hormone regulation and
blood flow; it switches on your thirst and hunger mechanisms to
name a few. (Incidentally, your breathing is the only physical
mechanism that you also have conscious control over).

3. Good or Bad Habit:
From tying your shoes laces, to driving your car, smoking and
yes, even swearing! Positive thoughts, negative thoughts -
without judgement, your subconscious will take on all your habits
good and - perhaps not so good!

If you do something enough, your brain will develop new neural
pathways that allow the activity of your choice to become a
habit.

4. Will Power:
Ever tried to give up something only to ‘throw in the towel’ in
miserable defeat? The impulse from your subconscious to respond
to learned patterns from the past is strong in comparison to the
will power of your conscious mind.

5. To Be or Not To Be?
Ever wondered why you could never finish a project or achieve
a goal? Your subconscious programming is responding to beliefs
you have established since an early age! This early conditioning
can be so powerful that it completely overrides any conscious
desire you may have to the contrary.

6. Picture This:
If you want to achieve something, first of all ‘picture’ it in your
mind. The imagined situation creates a powerful image in the
subconscious - it cannot consider it objectively and must
therefore create it as a physical experience eventually.

7. You Are Your Own Healer:
100 billion cells communicate with each other electro
magnetically – they literally dance with each other – so the body
believes everything you tell it. You can literally ‘heal’ your body
and influence your wellness - you can also induce sickness. Be
careful what you tell your body!

Each morning as I awake, I smile to myself and say “Today is a wonderful day, all good things come to me today and I feel happy, calm and relaxed”.
